Recursion 101: A Foothold into Technical Gimkit

What is recursion? Well, in general computer science, recursion is a function calling itself. If we have function f(), inside of that function it will call f(). In Python, it would look like this: def recurse(): (indent) recurse() But that’s Python, not Gimkit. In Gimkit, our version of recursion is much more loosely defined. Any device that triggers itself, or – more specifically – any system that triggers itself, is considered recursive. If I have trigger A send out on channel ‘b’, but it a…

Recursion

[CringeKarlScott]

wat
ooh

[CringeKarlScott]

wait can you do that in one block code thing tho

[getrithekd]

Nope.

[CringeKarlScott]

pls explian how use recursion
am small brian

dis halp smul brian?

[CringeKarlScott]

no
how use recruisoin in one blok cod

[ClicClac]

Have it broadcast on a channel at the end of the block, and have it receive on the channel to run the block.

[JDAT_Is_Cool]

ar u sayin dat u wana do it in a blok or a skript

[twofoursixeight]

I edited your title since it was not very clear to the audience of the forum.

@ClicClac I don’t think block recursion works, I’ve tested this before. Might be wrong, of course.

@CringeKarlScott youre literally a troll
Loops can be done in a couple ways. Things like for/while loops can be done with checkers that continue repeating a loop if a check passes, but then stop the loop when it fails. I’m sure you could also use blocks for the if statements, but unless necessary that’s less efficient.

no luup in blok cod tho

[CringeKarlScott]

yeah
i figured out how to do it
check it out (this is waht i was trying to do):

[CyanTigerReigns]

That was in the update right?

[Blackfox45666]

how did you do it? that looks awesome!

[CringeKarlScott]

yee
the new blocks were super neccessary

[CringeKarlScott]

i might make a guide on it later

[Magenta_Dragon]

How much memory did that use?

[CyanTigerReigns]

ClicClac already did…

How to make typewriter text!

Note: this is extremely unoptimized, and can be made way better than this guide shows. However, for short messages, this method will work fine. Do you want an animation of text writing itself out like a message in a RPG, without having to animate hundreds of characters? Introducing… typewriter text! Memory cost: 0.635%

Everything but the block code

The actual setup is extremely simple. Make a triggerloop (trigger → wire repeater → back to trigger), then have the trigger broadcast on a chann…

[Blackfox45666]

ohhhh its that thing

[ClicClac]

That is:

1. Super unoptimized.
2. Only for regular text.
