I think she had 12% hit. Enemy was on a throne (boss)

Just now, chapter 19 of Revelations. Charlotte attacking an enemy with 100% crit, but not landing a critical. I always thought crits would over-ride hit but apparently not? Or the RNG is broke as hell. Either way I was pissed.

Ooooh. Hell I thought this was really new or something.

Oohh okay. Still, I like this idea a lot~

http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/03/how-srpg-studio-lets-you-create-your-very-own-fire-emblem/ So I found this. Made by Shouzo Kaga, this program is like RPG maker but for Fire Emblem-like games. Looks pretty damn cool but, from what I can tell, the program is only in japanese, and costs 5940 yen, which is around 48USD. An exciting concept but, until I learn to read Japanese, or they translate it, I have to pass.

I'll admit I didn't feel like I learned very much. I mean, the stuff we covered in the span of 11 weeks can be learned in a few days of reading literally any programming book. That class was extremely obsessed with writing psuedo-code. Over half the work involved writing it, then making a Visio of it, then making a Raptor flow chart, before finally writing the program in Visual Basic. I know it's a good practice to plot out your program, but I wished there was more emphasis on other stuff. To be fair, this was just Intro to Programming. My major isn't in software so this course was the only bit of programming I got. The software course covers C++, C#, and Java.

I get what you're saying, and I've already had an official class in programming concepts. I know the basic tenants of programming, like variables, loops, conditions, case statements, etc. I've very briefly familiarised myself with 5 languages, but I don't know enough of any of them to write anything practical besides calculators and crap. I want to learn more syntax to do more but I just don't know which is "best". So many differing opinions.

Well I don't know what I'm doing XD As much as I want to master a programming language I simply don't have the time. School and work take up most of my day and when I have free time it usually goes towards homework or school-related study. If I had the time and money I'd probably take some classes in Java or C#. Also, sadly, my college doesn't offer any programming courses yet. Only networking and cyber security.

Ohh I didn't know that part. All these C based languages all go hand-in-hand very well.

Well I've looked into Microsoft XNA myself and it only runs in conjunction with Microsoft Visual C# 2010 express. It doesn't use Visual Basic or C++ or anything else. Mono game is much the same, only you need Visual Studio to run it, but it also uses C# only.

I never said it was how it works? The point I was making was that this was the first book I've found that's more than just an intro to a language, and specifically targets pentesting, which is my dream job. And I plan on taking part in a hack-a-thon next year. It's hosted by FSU's cyber security devision. The chair of our IT program is going to get us access to additional security/hacking training to prepare us as much as possible, alongside the normal classes we take (I'll be starting Information Cyber Security in June)

Well I found a book that's encouraged me to use Python: Python for hackers and pentesters. Sweet jesus yes. Don't mistake me, I'm not like "ERMAGERD I CAN BE SUPER HAXOR NOW" no no. I'm interested in being a true White-Hat hacker, and work professionally as one.

That's freaking hilarious XD At least the game didn't freeze/crash when trying to use it, although the extremely long pause is a wtf moment.

Ah yes Python is very simplistic isn't it >w< I've been meaning to work on it more but I'm still having trouble deciding if I should focus more on C# or Python.
