So I have this idea and want to test it out (Python environment) but ...

Two separate words making an extremely unlikely compound.

Wanda omg stop this we've talked about this ffs.

Maybe one character is a coder and @SebastianHolt wants their work to be convincing?

It’s probably easier just to ask chat GPT, or Gemini or any other for code samples. Other than few geeks here, is anyone really going to run code that was part of an erotic story?

Scratch that, some actually would!

Not without precautions, no

I still have a bunch of those books in a tote in my garage somewhere collecting dust

I didn't put program code in a story, but I did use and render HTML as a plot point

It's fine, my PC is on the pill.

We have a standing joke in my team that engineers always lament "But it works on my machine".

I’ll definitely give this one a read!

Strong recommend for Accessability Compliance. Made me cackle like a crazy old cat lady.

Wait, I am a crazy old cat lady

We had that joke in every team I've been on. It's also not a joke, because it really does work on my machine, dammit!

tie in some technology in with a story to make a more robust experience

Say more. What kinds of programmatic effects do you imagine, and how would they improve the story experience, and what does "robust" mean here?

the sequel is really good too

Technically that's called "getting pregnant".

 

[Britva415]

How is what I assume is a coding program gonna help write stories?

They made it sound like they imagined it would help with the reading of stories, but I also imagine that the two can't be separated and the technology would influence the content.

 

[Britva415]

puts "clguba vf n fvyyl ynathntr".tr!('a-mn-z', 'n-za-m')

Run the output through again for twice the obfuscation!

Once again, we return to Mass Effect as the most Literotica videogame franchise around

All I'm saying is that "report to the ship. We'll bang, okay?" is borderline canonical, as is being able to talk your way out of trouble by kissing your lesbian lover and blaming everything on an evil clone.

Riskiest sex experience I'll ever have

This is genius!

Police detective: so, tell me how the scammers got access to all your accounts?

Me: uh, you know what, they can keep the money...

 

[darwin1859]

So, I have this idea that I wanted to test out (I miss the old days when Borland had compilers for $99). Anyway, is there a free version of Python that I can run on my Windows computer? My thought is to tie in some technology in with a story to make a more robust experience ... Not sure if people want or need this, but I thought it would be fun to chip off the rust on my brain and test this idea

If you haven't used a compiler since Borland, you might want to check out Lazarus, which is a free clone of Delphi. There's also freepascal that is a TP clone, complete with a character mode (i.e., DOS) IDE.

I'm sure there are IDEs for Python but they won't be like Borland's IDE...

BTW, I'd dying to know why you think a compiler will "tie in" to an erotic story, and I'm more than a little concerned that it won't work. But I'll clap the loudest if I'm wrong...

Another alarm bell that rang is that there's an explicit rule against AI and it's interpreted with "against" applied very stringently and "AI" applied very broadly. If "tie in" means any part of the story is created by the code, I'm sure it would be considered to violate this rule.

Don't even get me started on what I think about gender. I've been called an Asari before, and suddenly everything made sense.

THAT. FUCKING. TOOTHBRUSH. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING ABOUT CITADEL.

Okay, who wants to share their Erotica github account? I'm snarkyslut420

*Sigh*

Fine... Another text file with links to itch.io and other accounts has appeared in my computer.

The guy who started the company I'm working for is very smart, but a non-techy. For many years he's relied on me and others to build prototypes for him using our coding chops. He's just built a very full-featured, cool looking website with a PostgreSQL backend, plus a really good working prototype of a system that has multiple Dockerized services. It took him three weeks to do all that on his own.
It's a new world with Copilot.

I've always been used to my technical skills becoming redundant, and spent (wasted) much of my time keeping up with changes. I can finally focus on pure design and ideas, and leave all that to someone/something else.

Of course "ChatGPT can make mistakes". But so can everyone. It's not great at overall structure, but it produces working code every time (although the code may not do exactly what I want, or do it in the most elegant way).

So, for prototyping, proof of concept, or "cobbling together" stuff, copilots are just great. And they're getting better. Today, during my lunchbreak, I got ChatGPT to write a DSL (domain specific language) and a Pthon-based transpiler to produce... a story game I've started writing . I can concentrate on the story and what I want to happen, and ignore implemementation details. It will probably produce very inefficent Ink code, but neither readers or I will care.

Is it a 12in python? I here there are a lot of those on lit.

What counts as "working"? (non-snark, genuine question)
