The development is momentarily halted until I find a new programming language that is physically capable of what I need it to do, meaning bifurcated text, opening a created *.~ATH file both inside the program and opening from file, and possibly auto-updating.
I was considering Java, but it refuses to install the compiling environment on my computer (and also I immensely dislike Java, but I don't want to make something that only one OS can use). Any suggestions? Keep in mind I have no idea how to code anything more complex than a HELLO WORLD so how on earth I blew this out my ass is a mystery even to me.
I'm slightly busy at the moment, because
my unimaginably annoying acquaintance is trying to make a rap album and the only person with talent got pissed off and went to I dunno kill something so he wants me to do what she could do, which was terrifyingly fast and good, she's like the Renard V of fantrolls and yeah I can't do that. That, and I'm also trying to work up the courage and patience to keep writing my novel, which has atrophied to the point that it would be much better to just start over from scratch.
of things, so It might take a while xD
To satiate the masses, I'm working on a final version with this codebase, as I've managed to make the interface black as(s) well, and add some other things, like a copyright to The Huss and a small notice popup that is essentially a copy of stuff on the forums under "Help".
So yeah, the new version will be on the first post when ready.

It allows you to bypass the fact that nothing with a short lifespan is included in the library.
It is waiting for Lord English to enter the universe, but seeing as he's already here...

Clever! Though I'm not sure whether it would attempt to wait until his death or what, then that would be... problematic.
Or maybe it would activate only when he appears on the timeline, like a code that would run constantly unless he skipped ahead a few years, and then it would wait for him.
Ooh! you know that would make a great alarm, a program that would only run when he exists on the timeline, if you're trying to avoid him. That would be awesome.

Reason: my post was attacked by a B17 bomber
We have no 100% confirmation (unless I missed something on the Formspring or whatever) that the
Code:
~ATH(!whatever)
means 'when whatever is created', it may mean 'when whatever is not dead', or even 'when something other than whatever dies', ie: in SenorEverClever's 'hello world' example, it could very well result in 'when anything other than the world dies, it says hello world, when the world dies it says goodbye world'.
Chumhandle to talk to me as myself: carcinoCosplayer
Trolltag to talk to my (attempted-ly done well) fantroll (and yes, I know a lot of people think a fantroll existing is 'doing it wrong' in and of itself, but they can be done well, and I intend to try): amalgamatedAntitheses
Spoilered F-For Verbosity And U-U-Underdevelopedness
Your name is ALPHAS OMEGAH, and you are rare among trolls in that you strive for UNITY and PEACE between all things. You try to keep these yearnings UNDER WRAPS, but sometimes it's not easy.
Aside from the aforementioned, your INTERESTS are varied. You have a love for SHITTY MOVIES, which you also try to keep hidden, but your exuberance over the latest terrible film sometimes slips past your DEFENSES. You also love FLARP and other forms of EXTREME ROLEPLAYING, as well as the LESS EXTREME sort. If pressed, you would say that when you grow up you hope to join the ranks of the LEGISLACERATORS, despite their line of work going quite against your IDEALS AND VALUES. You practice daily with your TONFA BATONS, a good nonm-lethal weapon for someone who strives for peace (with a hidden DEADLY SECRET, if you know just where to look, as is befitting your SOMEWHAT DUALISTIC NATURE). You like to think you are becoming a pro with them.
Your Trolltag is amalgamatedAntitheses, and you H-Have A Tendency T-T-To Capitalize The First Letter In E-Every Word. You Also T-T-Talk With A S-Slight S-Stutter, But You D-D-Don't Let This H-Hinder Your S-S-Social Life In The Least.
If I'm correct,if I die now (Or someone named Alphakirby dies) The universe will explode and this program will close
Nah, the ~ATH before U means that it will wait until U dies before executing ASPLODE. To actually destroy the unvierse you would presumable have to say

So basically I need to put the EXECUTE (ASPLODE) before the Universe
Technically? Yes, that is what the problem was.
However, I actually kind of doubt that ASPLODE is a valid function in any programming language. I was assuming that .DIE (); was essentially an end command, and that telling the universe to end would, well, end it. Hence the universe.DIE (U); But, like I said, I'm just guessing, and I'm not a particularly good programmer.

Well as my edit stated, I think ~ATH may work different than other programming codes.
Whenever you save something as a .~ATH file using the program
you get a .~ATH.~ATH file extension
eheheh yeah I totally did not disappear off the face of the earth for almost a year and have managed to get nowhere
Actually I'm not sure if that's an error, or just some weird idiosyncrasy the save dioloughfe has, I must repeat that while I did "technically" code and create this I... don't know what the hell I'm actually doing so just this program running at all is some kind of act of god. That, or I powered the program with dead orphans. Possible.
If the import means when it dies, the command is executed...
How about you make something, like a program, that can be killed anytime? It would confuse the shit out of ATH and maybe allow you to execute a command right then and there.

The problem is that you can only choose things from a specific list.
If you could chose something that could be killed at any time with no repercussions, then you would also probably be able to pick a super-rapidly decaying isotope, or a fruit fly or something, and have an effectively instant run.
One of the challenges in working with ~ATH is finding a trigger that you can actually work with.
Or being Sollux and basically time-space hacking it to run immediately anyways.
It has been a long time! Has there been any progress? The download link doesn't appear to work, at least not for me.
This looks super exciting, and I would love to try it out!
is this alive because it is cool
the code where you where immortal because it has basicly no actual time when you are dead, maybe that's how the caledscratch is never broken?
Editing posts makes doubleposting useless, deleting the other one makes you seem flawless and me silly. I'll edit something relevant in a minute, just wanted t put that down.
