The Dink Network

I wanted to keep this a secret until it was done. But what the ducks.

I'm tired of having DinkC in a plain ol' .txt file. It's year 2020. It's like 10 eons since the birth of Buddha. We gotta have better documentation formats. Therefore, I've started copy-pasting it in html format, plus I intend to add some extra features for easier read.

Here's a sneaky pic.

However, I'm encountering same issue that this site has, when generating code. If someone knows how to escape HTML entities, I'd be very grateful. The issue is rendering &current_sprite, because & + curren is for currency.

Thanks in advance

EDIT:
It seems it works well in regular post here... What the Dead Dragon Carcass???

Miasma has some crazy stuff so '&current_sprite' works correctly. What you need to do is:

&current_sprite

Fixing the issue with the stuff that initially caused it. I like it. Thanks Redink1

I have one more question. I'm planning to use prism.js for pretty code rendering. Which language does code-renderer on this site renders? What is the good choice for DinkC?

Edit:
I see the DinkC brush there. I'll might have to use this lib
Edit edit:
Yup. Works

Also, if anybody would like to help, I'd be glad. There's a lot of simple, yet time consuming work, even though I'm automating a lot of HTML tag generation.

Edit:
I've managed to automate even moarrrr, so that simple, yet time consuming task job isn't available any more

Making progress much faster now. Here's another sneaky pic

@Redink1

I've created a small script for this project that automatically indents code and replaces that problematic & sign. It could be useful for the forum.

It's not complicated, but if you don't wanna waste time... Unless, synthax-highliter is rendered on the backend side...

Blimey this is boring... 1000 lines of ~7000 parsed if anyone's interested

This thing is starting to look like something. I've added tooltip and search functionality... But adding content is still painfully slow... Oh well

unimaginatively named image 1
unimaginatively named image 2

Beautiful!

// ignore this, I'm testing something
if (&crap == 0)
{
    &crap = 1;
}
else
{
   &crap = 2;
}

It seems else isn't highlighted here as well

A question for Redink1 if I may. SlipDink asked me which version of DinkC file I was working on, and I've said 3.01... The only one I could find. He was like: "Dude, only illiterate plebeians are using almanac 3.01, you should totally switch to 4.0", and I was like "Ok, where do I find DinkC almanac 4.0?", and he was like "MWAHAHAHAHA"... Then the thunderstorm started.

I woke up after 10 years long coma in a dystopian post apocalyptic kinda exterior... Ok this already sounds cliche, and I haven't even finished the intro...

Point is, he shared a .chm file with me, which I had really long time ago. Help files aren't working on many machines, so can someone post this file officially here? And where the heck that file can be found now? I've no idea, mr. SlipDink has no idea as well... So WTD?

Since no response, I've decided to share a file here.
DinkC 4.

Since this is mr. SlipDink's link, anyone who used it to download the content should deposit 10,000,000.01$ to mr. SlipDink's bank account, in order to avoid any further legal actions.

If mr. SlipDink wishes to remove the file from his cloud storage, he can let me know, and I'll share my own copy for 00,000,000.01$ per download.

Thank you, happy dmoding

It seems I took this down from my google drive before I even read this message. So, I guess Mr. toof will be providing his own link any day now.

Mr. toof will be providing his own link any day now.

I've managed to download it again anyways... from a different PC... No idea how...

Regarding the gutenberging of DinkC, SlipDink's file is a lot better. I'm gonna scrap my current project, and rewrite that one...
