Tall Guy Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hello guys, I'm thinking about starting an Open Source repository for OSbot scripts in order make better scripts and help new scripters learn. Just wondering if people like this idea and if there would be participation. Let me know what you think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08egans Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 hi there! i've been teaching myself scripting and java for the last week and a half and i'd really appreciate it to see some of the coding for some things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Rag Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 a lot of the current scripts are open src Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you missed the entire point of the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't really want to upload open source code to someone else's repository and not be able to remove it / edit it, if i so choose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more src the better OP <3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yeah, the general idea I had was to make a general Github repo, where everyone could contribute to scripts or make new ones or learn from what's there. I definitely get what you're saying about some scripts already being open src. It was more asking if anyone would want to contribute to a single repo of OSbot scripts. I think it would be cool if the community placed its focus on one place. That being said I'm pretty new, so I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Once you find a good open source script you really shouldn't need to see more. If you do need to see more then maybe you should learn more java instead. Anyone that's spent the time to learn java won't need multiple sources. Learning to script exclusively from open source scripts with little java knowledge is a bad idea. It breeds bad habits and bad code. That's just my opinion though, good luck with your project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Grizzley Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 If you do I'll be sure to take a look to look to get into the scripting scene! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamN Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 @Explv has some pretty neat stuff, see github. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busychild Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Finding this months later and really wish there were a github with repos or a sticky. If a would-be programmer is lazy and does not learn enough fundamentals about the language or CS to become competent, that is their choice. Others would benefit tremendously from the freedom to explore good code. Learning Java (or any language) and learning from open source programs are not mutually exclusive. All of the developers I know learn from open source projects. The idea that you should find a single decent example and never need any others is somewhat bizarre. The suggestion that learning from multiple good examples could actually be detrimental is downright ludicrous. The fact is that this forum is littered with a hodge-podge of snippets. They range in quality from absolute gem to counter-productive. They are almost exclusively devoid of context or adequate explanation. Many are out of date. Tons of them are repeats. Not an insignificant subset are hidden between, "go read the API" and "learn java" comments (perhaps warranted). An open source library would cut down on useless posts. It would save many an OPs time. It would save the developers who answer those OPs time (God bless them). It would save the people flaming the OPs time. It would naturally select out bad code, and lead those in search to better quality, more up-to-date examples. Many of the free scripts are broken. Some of them just need small patches, and in fact would not be broken at this very moment if I or anyone else interested were able to fork, patch and submit a PR for them. I understand some authors may want to keep their free script private. But for those intending to give the code away, why not make a repo where the community can help keep it updated and learn from it? @Explv, in my opinion, did newcomers a big favor by open sourcing his Tutorial Island Script. How appropriate that it should be the tutorial island script and it is a good place for noobs to begin! We need more repos like his, in my opinion. I believe his tutorial island script hangs right after making dough for the baker. I will try to get around to forking and patching it. This is an option for me because the code is on github. Thank you to everyone who participates in this community, especially to those who maintain OSBot itself, or spent their time helping others on the forum, or contributed scripts. You have provided me and many others with an awesome incentive to branch out into Java, and have a ton of fun. You are awesome. TLDR; Open source repos is an all-around Good Thing for any programming community. Period. Thanks to every member of this community!
