Recursive Functions Using Blocks

[CS4life]

oh ok, didn’t see any so thats why I made this one

[bob_the_tomato]

I have the same exact problem.

[CS4life]

I’ve been doing gimkit for about a year, but programming for about 4 years tho. I just never had any major ideas for posting

thats true, thx for the advice

OOOHHHH waitt…
Ok nevermind about that, sorry. I just realized this is a for loop. (kinda) Nvm!

So you need the counter for it to work. But then it’s not really recursion.
Also, this has been made before:

How To Make A Loop With Block Code!

Have you ever needed to run the same piece of code over and over with one variable changing? Yeah probably not. But if you ever need to, here’s how you do it! What you need: A trigger and a property device

Step 1: Get the devices ready

This is probably the easiest step. Create a property device. This will be what keeps track of how many times the code has looped. Set the property type to “Number” and the starting value to 0. (This may not be necessary depending on the conditional statement yo…

For/While Loops - A Sorely Needed Mechanism

For those who know how to code, you should know what a for/while loop is. For those who don’t, it’s basically a loop that continues repeating until either a certain condition is met (while loop), or until it iterates through something some amount of times (for loop). They’re incredibly useful for any sort of code-like mechanism, and are almost necessary for a number of systems. For some reason, however, we haven’t actually made a guide on this yet. (I’m still really surprised we didn’t have th…

And also you could do this with a counter and a checker, so the block code would only be needed to do advanced stuff.

Ok, thanks for letting me know

[dynachamp]

im almost certain this is bear.

[CS4life]

bear??? who is bear…

Don’t mind that, random coder on the Discord and used to be on Forums but… ahh… quit. ^[1]

[Fulcrum-19]

Really liked this! I do agree that this can be a fairly effective way to make loops. Sometimes if you’re setting a property in the function, you can just stop the loop once the length of the property is a certain number.

[dynachamp]

first off, new users don’t come making guides like this, they act like bear, bear was talking about cs earlier today and this user knew bear was a person (who) and not a what

@dynachamp

first off, new users don’t come making guides like this

Look at Rithekd and Clic, and a bunch of other people. Sure, it’s a possibility that it’s Bear in disguise, but it’s not exactly the most probable thing.

@dynachamp

bear was talking about cs earlier today

Hmm that does point to the Bear Alt Theory

@dynachamp

this user knew bear was a person (who) and not a what

That’s probably because of the context and the way you said:

@dynachamp

im almost certain this is bear

This is bear, not this is a bear.

Most signs point to that it’s not bear.

[getrithekd]

The one drawback to gimkit recursion is that there really aren’t functions, and so any “arguments” aren’t saved and we cant make programs like we can in any programming language.

[chunky]

Why would raeb make an entire alt to post this

[mysz]

[DannyStarf]

Thank you for posting a guide on your first post! Welcome to the forums too :3

[bob_the_tomato]

no cussing :))))))))))))

[CS4life]

CS stands for computer science…, and you said “this is bear”, making me assume that its a person

[VoidFluffy]

Yeah, exactly.
Also it’s confirmed that you’re not bear so yeah let’s go back to talking about recursion
