Not sure if you found the solution, but the button can be hidden away. It might also be called "saved".
Once you click on it, then you can access the history mode. On the left sidebar, there's some "change file" text.
Once you click on that, then you can restore a specific file to a specific point in time. I don't think you revert the whole repl though - only a specific file.
@mamcx one method is creating a language extension for vscode to add syntax highlighting. you can find some info about it here: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/syntax-highlight-guide. naturally, that would only work with vscode. if, for example, you are showing the language in the browser with the monaco text editor, they support this: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html#extending-language-services-custom-languages. the latter would probably be the best thing to do because iirc replit uses the monaco editor
Clear choice of JavaScript for me! Use it all the time and I absolutely love it!
Like some of the others mentioned, multiplayer games are an awesome idea! Even just simple ones would be fun!
Super excited! Hyped up for this!
I wish someone told me to manage my time better when I started out. It can get addicting at times and cause some inefficient coding habits if your'e not careful. For advice, I'd recommend not being afraid to try something new, even if it's completely unfamiliar.
@mat1 I'm smh my head also! Can't believe I only mentioned 3 of your mistakes. Probably should have cut you less slack...
hey!
so these repls are all running the linux kernel. linux is *nix system, just like the mac you said you use in the comments. neither of them are unable to run .exe files natively
if you want to run .exe files i would recommend looking into wine. in a sentence, it gives you a compatibility layer for running windows programs on your mac or linux computer.
if you are trying to execute some windows executable file, i would just recommend installing wine on your mac, and running the executable with wine. (there are a lot of good tutorials online for this)
i am not sure why you would need the executable file in the repl you gave us. running it in that python repl is pretty much nearly impossible for all practical purposes, so i would recommend finding an alternate solution if it contains some code you want to run.
hopefully i was able to help :P
hey!
because you are using python, it is pretty easy to do this
at the top of your file
import replitto clear the screen, call the clear function
replit.clear()if you want to see this in action, i forked a repl (credit to @jamiebally) here
hope i could help :P
hi!
to start off, i would recommend converting your .tff font file into a more web-friendly format such as .woff or woff2 using a conversion tool (i like to use (fontsquirrel)[https://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator]), although this isn't strictly necessary
after you convert and upload that to your repl, then you can add it to your stylesheet with css. the crucial part being, you use the @font-face at-rule
@font-face {
font-family: 'Baloo Bhai';
src: url('fonts/baloobhai-regular.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('fonts/baloobhai-regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/baloobhai-regular.tff') format('truetype');
}so when the browser 'imports' in the font, it tries to import the 'woff2' first, then the 'woff', then the 'truetype' format of the font. this is good because woff2 has better compression and will load faster relative to the other formats
then, in your css, you can just use it like any other font
h1 {
font-family: 'Baloo Bhai'
}i made an example using the baloo bhai font in this repl
hope i was able to help :)
yeah i seem to be getting this as well
even after scrolling down passed announcements and pinned posts, the categories are still jumbled up despite me selecting one. i guess we can file a bug repot or wait for it to be fixed :P
we know that repl handles html repls differently not just from those facts, but because loading time on html repls is much faster and doesn't have that loading / progress bar. i don't know precisely the differences between html repls and non-html repls.
you can find all repl types that are treated like non-html repls, or regular repls on their polygott repository. we know the environment of each repl of those different languages is the same. and by environment, i mean libraries (ex. libc), programming langauges (nodejs, python), binaries (ex. /bin/ls, /sbin/fdisk), and other stuff you would expect in a linux operating system. this is all pacakged up in a process container compliant with the OCI spec, (like a docker container). it does say 'base image', so i'm not sure exactly what kind of sugar they put on top, if any - would have to inspect a little bit more
and i doubt the difference in the existence and behaviors of a "predefined .replit file" is dependent on how the operating is setup. so it's not like replit patches the readdir syscall on the host machine or patches ls to specifically exclude .replit files, that would be absolutely ludicrous
and the only reference to .replit in their public code is in the same repository that i linked, in the polygott-gitignore file. they are specifically ignoring a folder called .replit
whether specifically this is stored in a file (unlikely) or whether the defaults can be accessed over an internal, beats me, so maybe someone else can shed some light over it
so if you actually open up one of the files in the repository i linked, you can see the defualt run command under the run stanza
so that directly answers your question XP
hi!
in your html, you can add a button
<button id="myButton">button text</button>in your javascript, you can add the following
document.getElementById("myButton").addEventListener("click", function(event) {
console.log("i got clicked");
console.log("this is the variable X: ", X);
});this adds a listener to your button. so that when you click it, it executes the function. the function just logs some text to the console
yah so i have actually helped out with the other replit desktop app you were talking about. are ya looking for any features specifically?
i feel like if we all collaborate on a single solution instead of having duplicate work, we can get a lot done faster :)
sorta interested - how are ya thinking about making this new desktop app. kinda curious about the technologies or plans you have :P
awesome! this is a monumental feature
@katyadee Yeah, last summer I developed a habit of staying up later and later to complete features. At first I slept in, but when I started setting alarms for early in the morning, I got really sleep deprived. I was literally living the meme of code, eat, and sleep for a week or so before I snapped out of it. So yah that's when I realized setting deadlines is important, like deadlines of when to actually stop coding, or deadlines to complete certain features. And learning when to just stop coding and take a break.
Hi! I reformatted your question to make it a bit easier for others to understand. :)
With JavaScript, if statements look like this:
if(someValue > 10) {
someBoolean = true;
}If you want to test for a string, you may want to do something like someValue == "someString" instead of someValue > 10.
I would recommend looking at this page or this page if you want to learn more.
Hopefully I was able to help =P
hype!
This is really neat! Love the sound effects. Maybe make it so you earn more money when you get a tetris or destroy multiple levels at once?
Huge fan of these improvements for GUI interfaces! Love the current developments and
I'm excited for the future of repl.it!
welcome!
love the file icons - they're real nice addition
thats pretty neat!
you can try a text based adventure game. if that is too simple, you can try to think of more complex game mechanics that will force you to improve your coding style or practices.
hey! 😜
so if you have some image on your computer, you can drag that file and drop it into the editor (specifically, drag it on top of the area marked with the red rectangle below). after a few seconds the file should show up
hope i was able to help :)
hey!
whether you're building some terminal-based game or a graphical one, you'll need to know a particular programming language fairly well. for example, if you are creating a graphical game with javascript, you may want to be knowledgeable and have experience with the modern features of javascript.
i would recommend starting out small. for example, if you want to make some 3d action-based game, you may want to start out with some smaller 2d games. as you create the smalller games, you will learn the tools and structure required to build larger and more advanced games.
hope i could help :)
thanks for this amazing dev spotlight! it was pretty cool doing the interview
Grats to @Kognise for winning! Looking at all the submissions was pretty fun!
According to the WHATWG html spec, you seem to be commenting properly. It doesn't seem to explicitly say that Comment nodes (which is what you're actually creating when you write comments) cannot be adjacent to Element nodes. I've tried to replicate your problems, but I wasn't successful. Maybe you have some sort of repl?
Hey! It looks like your style.css isn't formatted properly. You've gotta add ending curly braces }. Kind of like this
body {
background-color: lightsteelblue;
border: 2px solid lightslategray;
}And make sure you also finish the style you were trying to make with border: :P
Hopefully I could help
Hi! Cycles are the point system of repl.it. For example, I have about 240 cycles right now. They're earned when people upvote your posts or if one of your answers to a question (on replit ask) has been marked as the "correct" answer).
