they are everywhere!
here is mine: http://owl.cuckoos.net/kirby.asm, post yours, in any language

(there is no forum dedicated to that kind of things, so this is why i made that post here)

: face1 ." <('.'<)" ;
: face2 ." (^'.'^)" ;
: face3 ." (>'.')>" ;
: face4 ." (v'.'v)" ;
: locate 40 12 at-xy ;
: delay 200 ms ;
: round locate face1 delay locate face2 delay locate face3 delay locate face4 delay ;
: dance 0 page do round loop ;

This defines the word dance ( loops -- ). Have fun :-)

Okay, I did one in bash

Code:#!/bin/bash
echo -n "ggeeqqo"
while true
do
for d in "(>'.')>" "(v'.'v)" "<('.'<)" "(^'.'^)"
do
echo -e -n "bbbbbbb$d"
sleep 0.2
done
done

anybody planning it for C? if not, I'll do one
[addsig]

Here is my kirby-dance. I don't know whether there are any rules saying how tke kirby should dance, well. In that case, he doesn't follow the rules

http://f.v2os.cx/~fredrik/kirby-hellman.asm

Here is another version, inspired by oink's xterm-version. It changes the name of the window: run "./kirby3 &" and it dances for you even when you code!

http://f.v2os.cx/~fredrik/kirby3.asm


It is for linux. Compile with nasm and link with ld.

After two days of wonder MoX finally found out about Kirbys. Huh, do you guys really mean _that_ Kirby from Kirby's Dreamland and stuff? Anyway, it looks nice /me wants one, too... [addsig]

kirby's dream land rocks

useless_posts++;

Here's mine in VB:

Sub Form_Click()
Dim Kirbys(3)

Kirbys(0) = "(^'.'^)" ' Our kirbys
Kirbys(1) = "(-->'.')-->"
Kirbys(2) = "(v'.'v)"
Kirbys(3) = " 3 Then a = 0
Me.Print Kirbys(a) ' Print kirby on form

Loop

End Sub

The timing would be better if you included the tick APIs or the DirectX tickcount but it works as it is.

ok, I think I have some spare time tomorrow, so I'm gonna do it if I find the time
[addsig]

Here, Kirby in awk:

#!/bin/awk -f

BEGIN {

kirby[1] = "(^'.'^)"
kirby[2] = "'.')-->"

i = 1

while ("" == "") {

system("clear")

print kirby[i]

system("sleep 1 s")

i++
if (i --> 4) {
i = 1
}

}

}

- He'll keep on dancing unless you press Ctrl Z

Thanks, ComWizz.

batch [addsig]

I never thought of doing one in batch. Very clever. [addsig]

No one can top my batch Kirby.
d-:

hehe, batch was my first language
i made menu's with it. even animating
and a 'password' program to enter windoze (3.1) and some other progs
but when i got Turbo Basic (really old), the fun really began [addsig]

Batch is the only real programming language.
(-:

Yeah. The only programming language that stands next to it is html. We all know that.
Yes. [addsig]

Batch isn't really a language. [addsig]

dxprog, we were being sarcastic
d-:

No!!!

html is really a programming language!

Believe me!



...please. [addsig]

The dictionary doesn't lie. HTML is a markup language. [addsig]

Ah! Finally somebody who agrees with me!

So, time to stop the trolling! [addsig]

Trolling...
What trolling

batch is not programming, batch is batching [addsig]

LOL [addsig]

Sometimes I wonder where the YPN is going. It doesn't look bright

robert: lol... that's a ":(" btw, not a ":)"

Huh? What are you guys doing? I don't understand. Are you making Kirby animations with code? And by the way all of the links arent working for me. [addsig]

since this compe is already quite old, it may be that the guys have already deleted the code from their servers
but yes, we were making kinby animations with code
[addsig]

Cool! Could someone code one for Java? I just want to see what they look like and if it's as easy as I think. [addsig]

I can do one actually but it's not exactly an animation... here it goes.

public class KirbyDance
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("'')-->");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("(v''v)");
}

Ok, noone did one in C\C++ Yet, I guess I will do it

C++ version:

#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
string Kirbys = "<('.'<):(^'.'^):(>'.'<);(v'.'v)";

cout << Kirbys.substr(0, Kirbys.find(":")) << endl;
cout << Kirbys.substr(Kirbys.find(":") + 1, Kirbys.find_last_of(":") - (Kirbys.find(":") + 1)) << endl;
cout << Kirbys.substr(Kirbys.find_last_of(":") + 1, Kirbys.find(";") - (Kirbys.find_last_of(":") + 1)) << endl;
cout << Kirbys.substr(Kirbys.find(";") + 1, Kirbys.size() - (Kirbys.find(";") + 1)) << endl;
system("PAUSE");
}

And in C:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
char* Kirbys1 = "<('.'<)";
char* Kirbys2 = "(^'.'^)";
char* Kirbys3 = "(>'.'<)";
char* Kirbys4 = "(v'.'v)";

printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n", Kirbys1, Kirbys2, Kirbys3, Kirbys4);
system("PAUSE");
}

rmemeber toturn off html when posting sourcecode...

#include <"html-tag"> you know

Hrm, I thought I did, Anyway thanks

Doom2pro: Hahaha!

Don't be sad, I also coded like that once

Hmmm ... html, batch. I think html is the language I have been looking for. It is more powerful than batch, i guess, especially if you use the versions that have not been enhanced by microsoft programmers

HTML is not a programming language...

Are we going to go into this again. Dictionary says that HTML is a markup language which is defined as:
a system (as HTML or SGML) for marking or tagging a document that indicates its logical structure (as paragraphs) and gives instructions for its layout on the page for electronic transmission and display

So let that put an end to this.
[addsig]

C, windows version:

Code:#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main(void)
{
while(1)
{
system("cls");
printf("<('.'<)");
Sleep(1000);
system("cls");
printf("(^'.'^)");
Sleep(1000);
system("cls");
printf("(>'.')>");
Sleep(1000);
system("cls");
printf("(v'.'v)");
Sleep(1000);
}
return 0;
}

I was thinking about putting it in an actual window, but I didn't feel like writing the extra code [addsig]

But if you made a window you could make acutual kirby graphics. Of course that's what VB is for. [addsig]

robost86: Just because I just joined this website, doesn't mean that I am a "newbie" Yeah, your forum does a great job of understating it's new members, which is sad, but don't act like a little six year old, and act like your some kind of "Coding God" because your in the HOF. I have been a part of groups like that before, and I left because they act like there all l33t. I don't want to abandon another coding group because of people like that, kthx.

P.S. Incase you didnt notice, I forgot to disable HTML tags in that last post, witch is why fsvara was a nice guy to notice. And that had nothing to do with my programming skills.

[ This Message was edited by: Doom2pro on 2002-09-28 22:11 ]

I got a new domain name half a year ago. I changed the old one to the new one in my post (on the first page in this thread).

Sorry, ever since I got into the HOF two years ago, I've been such an asshole. I'm also too incompetent to know that forgetting to check a checkbox does not have to do with your coding skills, I'll think about that next time. If you ever make up any more things to flame me for, I'll be happy to reply then.

Yours, Robert.

Ummmm.... 764 posts? What the heck kind of a number is that?!?! Is that good enough for ya [addsig]

Code:
(defvar *kirbys* (list "<('.'<)" "(^'.'^)" "(>'.'<)" "(v'.'v)"))

(defun princ-and-erase (string)
(princ string)
(loop repeat (length string)
do (princ (string #Backspace))))

(defun display-kirbys (times)
(loop repeat times
do
(mapcar #'princ-and-erase *kirbys*)))

Here we have Lisp Kirbys.
(display-kirbys 10) will make Kirby dance 10 times. Enjoy.

Note: Because this phpBB is retarded and nobody feels like upgrading it,
it likes to print `<hash><backslash>Backspace' as as `<hash>Backspace'. And yes, HTML
is disabled. Fix this!
