I like how sometimes it will work except somehow it screwed up something like 30 lines later.
How do you even. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I love working with strings in JavaScript. You just put them in double quotes, and you're done.

Lots of languages have decent string handling.
Actually, C is the only one I've used that is anywhere near as dumb with them as it is. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ah I see. I forgot to null terminate it after the strncpy.

Booyah!
Now my game can automatically check on startup to see whether the user has chosen a particular language, and if not, ask the Operating System what its default language is, pick the closest fit if there is no explicit equivalent language (IE if I don't support Australian English it can default to US English), lazy load dialog from encrypted dialog files, and throw it into a text box, menu, etc. Pretty good step forward today. :) --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ...

C doesn't really have strings the way other languages do. They are char arrays. And yes they all need to be null terminated. I think some compilers will do it for you but C generally assumes you know what you're doing and will let you make a non null terminated string of you really want to.

I think some compilers will do it for you but C generally assumes you know what you're doing and will let you make a non null terminated string of you really want to. Yeah I just don't do a lot of C so I didn't think about it and malloc'd and copied the actual length instead of length + 1. A char array that isn't null terminated is actually valid and sensible in lots of cases, considering it's also the one-byte integer type. Or maybe you really do want an array of characters. Maybe it's a fake word generator or something and you want to keep track of which letters are vowels, frigatives, liquids, etc. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ... Copied to Clipboard!

How much do you know about Python?

Not much. I've been learning a little lately because RPi GPIO controls are built in it but I'm really not a fan so far.

Some questions:
Why are you using C? Because you want to, or are you forced to use it somehow? Would you consider using a string library to make things more convenient?

It can be tedious, but I like the flexibility. C has fantastic conditional compilation features, is the main reason I have these few C source files. The majority of my code for this is in Ada, which people like to crap on but once you get used to it, it's a great language for, well, preventing stuff like this topic. Like straight up if you define a type Single_Digit is range 0..9 It won't let you assign 10 to it, which is pretty standard, but the nice thing is it also won't let you do this: declare Unless you either explicitly cast to an Integer or change the Single_Digit definition from a type to an Integer subtype. It's great because it always makes sure you are sure you want to do what you're asking it to do and didn't just brainfart something. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Strings in C is relatively easy because if you have a keyboard nearby you can just tune to that. It's a big bright sound too, hard to mistake a C on strings
