21:31 CheapSeth I'm working on an elegant way to separate nodes declarations and registrations (to register nodes in a loop, avoiding too many minetest.register_node() hard-coded calls). Is it a good Idea?
21:31 PilzAdam why?
21:43 CheapSeth I found the usual way «not so maintainable»
21:43 CheapSeth (And copy/pasting the call many times remind me bad times programming microcontrollers in C)
21:46 PilzAdam and how do you want to fix that?
21:47 CheapSeth Defining blocks in another file (currently, by defining tables using the automatic numeric indexation to collect data and later, in XML structured files I could parse)
21:49 CheapSeth Then register blocks in a for loop (for each entry in the node list, call the function register_node with the parameters obtained from the list)
21:50 PilzAdam so you basically move the copy and paste to another file?
21:51 CheapSeth Well um, not the same… Uh… Oh.
21:52 CheapSeth Still, the function call is not copy/pasted x) Anyway, I will try later with an XML file, it could allow me to make a modding tool for adding blocks/items and basic abs without programming
21:53 PilzAdam registering a node doesnt really require any programming skills currently
21:53 PilzAdam since you basically have to fill out the table
21:55 CheapSeth (Yes, but people does not mind it)
21:55 CheapSeth (Making mods is always possible without programming knowledge (look at minecraft mods ^^))
21:55 CheapSeth (Noobs like GUIs)
22:01 CheapSeth (Uh, I feel like an Apple dev saying that)
22:02 CheapSeth (nevermind)
