I guess @rrobukef means if you flip A and B repeatedly, they just swap positions and reverse orientation each time.

But if you flip A and B, then B and C, then A and C, you get B and C to swap positions without changing their orientations.


Same for me (on Firefox)

Heck, I've got code I wrote ten years ago and no idea why it was done that way except for a vague memory of a request that I implemented but was never really used.


Thank you! I've let your script run for near 20 hours. It has discovered 3000 items including

`One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor`


Your Welcome!


Thank you for simplifying the "repair" process to long press. That's amazingly helpful for me to think about ways to create a minimum viable product.


And the fun thing: it's literally just a property of the standard "action" in Roblox. So super simple even if he doesn't use Lua but just the UI. I.e. instant gratification. And he can change the number and Roblox will automatically show a progress indicator for the "action". (yes I've done some developing coz the kids wanted me to build a game for them. "daddy, daddy, I found this pink cow! You gotta put it in!" - I never finished coz it got boring but it was a lot of fun).

He can blow up (just super size) the models and maybe find some "motor" asset someone made and published to actually put under the hood or just next to the car, which he needs to repair too. A blown out tire? Go find rubber or a new tire? Lug it back to the car first. A jerry can asset someone made that he needs to find at a gas station (maybe someone already made that asset) to fill up the car. Like "if Jerry can is in inventory - inventory is already pre built in roblox just use it - then long pressing the action key will fill up the car". Find a "lead pipe" asset to use as a weapon. To begin with use one of the premade with animations and everything swords. The learn how to make your own.

Since it's all for learning nobody has to care about asset licensing or money. When he does, it's a teachable moment.



My first entry was like "Welcome to thunderrabbit's journal! Today is April 11, 1987 and I just had a fun experience that I want to remember..."

Journaling off and on since 1987, I have a few rules for myself when journaling:

1. Write the time, day of week, date, month, and year for every entry.

2. Don't worry about lapses in writing. Just write a new entry when I can.

3. Allow my topics to be spontaneous. I sometimes have a structure I'd like to use, but allow freedom in any moment.

4. Relish mistakes, smears, stains on the paper by labeling them, e.g. "tea stain while studying with Akane" (real example!)

5. Just enjoy the process of writing.


definitely Japanese writing system. Thank you!


Got it, thanks!


Difficulty spending it all haha. I'm really happy for her.
