SRL Archive - NOTA

Sorry, I just have to gush for a second.

SRL was my first scripting language, and learning it seriously changed my major some eight years later, whether I knew it at the time or not.

I picked up SCAR back when it was the only environment for SRL, and back when it was (I believe) in the 2.1x updates. Don't quote me on this, because my memory is crap, but I want to say that it was back in 2007 or 2008.

After a few RS updates and constant SRL updates, I assumed that the entire SRL project was doomed. Granted, this was 2009 or so.

I picked up Simba a couple of years ago (my account has been inactive for 588 days until about fifteen minutes ago, to put that into perspective), and I fumbled about with it until I realized that I didn't have the attention span to keep up with SRL, so I quit again. In the two years that I wasn't writing SRL, I managed to pick up first Java, then JavaScript and its major libraries, then went back to Pascal, then somehow wrapped my head around C++, then dove into HTML and web development, and now here I am back with SRL.

Today, I was messing about with a game that consisted of the player mashing keys and, upon the realization that the keys were only registered when released, I subsequently realized, "hey, I can write an SRL script for this." And then I thought, "oh shit, they've probably died off by now."

And now, as you can see, we are very much alive and well.

Anyway, that's my gush. Roast away. :sasmokin:

SRL isn't a language, how good at programming are you exactly?

also yes, this community has changed me quite a bit vs software side & programming.. probably will be around here till I'm 50 years old and my skin is falling off

Well, no, it's a library that uses Pascal. Semantics.
Also, I'm decent, but not a pro. But hey, that's what classes are for ;)

No need to be rude, grats??

@x3chaos: What you just explained is exactly why I love this community; it isn't about becoming the richest person in a game or the one with the highest achievements. It's about learning a programming language, morals and to work together with people as a team.

This community has helped me so much that it's hard for me to find word kind enough to thank the Wajer-family enough for creating it; the great discussions, the great members and the great learning environment has been so uplifting for me as a person and has made me realize exactly what I want to do when it comes to studies and job choice later in life. I must say; most of the maturity I possess, have I learned from this community.

And the extra "English class" is a plus, too! :)

Great story. Honored! Thanks for sharing man.

^ Admin Double Post. *tut tut*

OT: I'm glad you love the community because so do I.

And it's not because of the gaming, it's all got to do with the learning and the whole community teaching each other :)

When I first came here it was just for the scripting and to do with Runescape, now I just come on to see what's going on. I'm liking it more the longer I stay. :)
Thanks for sharing.

Same with me, I came here looking for a runescape bot, but SRL is so much more then a botting community. Glad I came here rather then PB or Epicbot.
E: Almost forgot to compliment the OP! Nice thread OP! I enjoy reading stories like yours!
