Talk:Dragon curve

Obsessed??

Some contributors are obsessed with:

  • Very long historical and technical preludes;
  • Multiple comments (almost on each line);
  • Unnecessary multiple pound and other signs.

All this makes code "dirty", hard to read and maintain. I'm just curious: who will read such preludes, comments?
An obvious sample is the first version of dragon curve in R. I thought that contributor is for sure obsessed with pounds...
Or trying to camouflage original code.. Although original code has a lot of pounds too, but RC contributor added even more! LOL See for yourself: http://rstudio-pubs-static.s3.amazonaws.com/185483_0f31b11d2def43aea33658b5b7908cf3.html

BTW, it’s impossible to find who is the contributor of the first version of R.--AnatolV

Scrollable examples?

The scrollbar in the D example freaked me out at first. I'm not sure how good it would look if all examples did that. I think we should either have all scrolling examples (only for longer examples, of course) or none at all. --Mwn3d 06:46, 4 April 2008 (MDT)

The QD example? That's an SDL window; it shouldn't have scrollbars. I certainly didn't code any in. 79.213.117.79 03:33, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I think he's referring to the presentation of the text mode example program itself. —Donal Fellows 10:00, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
