Something to do while I wait on Doctor Who

Got some more fix's for my DLList done.  I wasn't going to touch any code for the holidays... but the kids are all busy playing with gifts, and everyone else is off socializing. 

I'm waiting patiently for the Doctor Who Christmas special.....  <  so so... calmly waiting >.... 
A female Doctor Who!!!!! ARE YOU FRICKEN KIDDING ME! I'M going to lose my mind I'm so excited.  I'm not a super fan, but seriously, my dad had me watching doctor who when I was a kid and it was on the public broadcasting service channel.....

So,  I got the  set_sides() into my swap_left()  and I got the swap_left() doing the swapping of when there is only a begin and end node in the list.   

I think the reason it was all getting rejected before was because my quicksort was so wonky, that I kept trying to give it nodes that didn't exist. 
I am going to still try and get that version of the quicksort working too, now that I have that nifty little piece of code that Zed had,  the little 'get_node'.  I think that's all that was holding me up.  Then seriously time to move on in the class book.  Next up is dictionaries!!! Afraid to peek ahead at that one. 

Ok,  so putting the updates in the old blog post, for "complete: Doubly Linked List"
Here's to all the amazing British arts in this world that keep things interesting.  Cheers! And about bloody time!!!

JavaScript Ascii animation with while loops and console.log

I was working on figuring out while loops for an exercise in LearnJavaScriptTheHardWay  by Zed Shaw,  and I decided to do this: The red text console.logs were for debugging, and will take over the animation if the comments are removed. The bold red number is the point at which the loop stops.  My CPU didn't have too much trouble with that large number, but I'd recommend dialing it down if your CPU is slow. Also if your CPU is really fast, you'll have to change the pause to something much lower to see the animation better.  That too is in a loop, so the more that pause happens, the more loops your CPU is running.   Link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9006988/node-js-on-windows-how-to-clear-console To clear screen as described in link above, uncomment the bold purple comment I tried to comment the code to help learners see what I did,  any comments or suggestions, feel free to drop em in!                      ex16_ASCII.js //Trying to make a comma

playing with trigonometry sin in pygame

Image
Ok I am so far from understanding, so don't take this as any kind of math lesson. Also, every time I thought I knew what I was doing.... pygame would show me differently. Still a work in progress, but for now, something to play with. Update: SinWaveTime class added to produce that particular weaving effect Tinkering with the different sin wave variables: I wrote this piece separate from my 3D experiment to see how to manipulate the sin wave. While trying to use time as the factor to move my pygame draw circle on the x-axis, i got this crazy little doo-dad : I don't think it's drawing two circles at once, but if I figure out what the heck it's doing I'll let you know.  Or hey if you know, drop a comment.  I don't know if my comments are just not working, or no one wants to. So, here's some pygame code to play with the sin wave.  Alter the different variables to see it in action. picture of SinWave.move_with_time() see changes, SinWaveTime c

playing with color in powershell python

Here's a bit I'm working on.  I've discovered I love doing Ascii.  Examples of how to use the color changing escape.  I got a table from StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/287871/print-in-terminal-with-colors-using-python the charts are way at the bottom. So far accurate for me.  def prettyjunk ( self ): # 1 is bold, 0 is plain, 2 is dull text_red = ' \x1b [1;31;40m' stop_color = ' \x1b [0m' text_blue = ' \x1b [1;34;40m' text_green = ' \x1b [1;32;40m' text_purple = ' \x1b [1;35;40m' text_lightblue = ' \x1b [1;36;40m' text_white = ' \x1b [1;37;40m' a_green_at = ( f " { text_green } @ { stop_color } " ) a_red_at = ( f " { text_red } @ { stop_color } " ) print ( f " { text_red } This should be Red. { stop_color } " ) print ( f "
