infallible 28 Share Posted November 13, 2015 So.. I'm attempting to build a very simple miner script that mines and banks only at one location. I am extremely new and would like a mentor. My suggestion would be to upload my code to a google.doc at which point my mentor can give me tips/hints as I go along. The mentor would read through the code, identify what I'm attempting to do and give suggestions/help with bad code. I would be very grateful as I'm going to be taking an introductory programming course this Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZL 13 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm fairly new to scripting myself but I have successfully completed a few decent scripts, if you pm me your Skype I can assist you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Before 95 Share Posted November 13, 2015 woah wait I think people are overlooking how good of an idea this is. You get a google doc open to public, paste your code there every time you push an update to your script, people can learn from it and people can suggest things to it; as someone looking for time to look for a way to write a script, I think this is amazing.

xboxnolifes 4 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Well, instead of a Google doc, I would suggest learning how to use git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuclear Nezz 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2015 woah wait I think people are overlooking how good of an idea this is. You get a google doc open to public, paste your code there every time you push an update to your script, people can learn from it and people can suggest things to it; as someone looking for time to look for a way to write a script, I think this is amazing. or you could use a git, which some scripters already do. more information please I will when I get home from work. Thanks! git is a source/version control software. You push code to a git repository, and then when you make changes on your local copies you can see the differences between your copy and the pushed "live" copy. github is a good place to start with that. There are other sites you can use as well, like bitbucket and a few I can't remember. But basically it's what you're talking about, except much better because you can see your commits, your mentor could clone the branch for himself and make edits and push notes on the code for you to look at, etc. Learning git is pretty useful.

I think this will develop into a great learning source. EDIT: I've created a github account and created a repository with a master branch. How do I add my code to the master branch and what information do I give my mentor to make changes to the code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xboxnolifes 4 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Honestly, I've only used git as a repository once, but I know I'm going to be setting mine up again layer and learning how to use it. If someone else doesn't respond by then I'll help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamlicker 749 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If you're planning on being a programmer as your career or part of it, Git is nearly a requirement these days to know how to use. I suggest getting some repositories at Github and just testing out how to push/pull/merge/commit etc. You can always add me on Skype (lickscripts) and if I'm online I will answer you =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much experience, which is why I am going to take an introductory course (almost always taught in C/C++). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
