Comments in source code

[Serge Bertet]

Hello,

since a long time I use this method to split large pages of code in every programming langages I use (Javascript, C, HDL and ... B4X of course).

Try this link: https://patorjk.com/software/taag/#p=display&h=0&v=0&c=vb&f=Ivrit&t=Web side story

Copy and paste the resulting text in your editor. Here is an example:

'   __        __        _               _       _                  _                        
'   \ \      / /  ___  | |__      ___  (_)   __| |   ___     ___  | |_    ___    _ __   _   _
'    \ \ /\ / /  / _ \ | '_ \    / __| | |  / _` |  / _ \   / __| | __|  / _ \  | '__| | | | |
'     \ V  V /  |  __/ | |_) |   \__ \ | | | (_| | |  __/   \__ \ | |_  | (_) | | |    | |_| |
'      \_/\_/    \___| |_.__/    |___/ |_|  \__,_|  \___|   |___/  \__|  \___/  |_|     \__, |
'                                                                                       |___/
'
Public Sub isInternetAvailable As ResumableSub
    Dim net As ServerSocket
    net.Initialize(0, "")
    Log("My IP: " & net.GetMyIP & " - Wifi IP: " & net.GetMyWifiIP)
    If net.GetMyIP = "127.0.0.1" Then Return False ' this is the local host address
    If Not( ph.GetDataState.EqualsIgnoreCase("CONNECTED") ) And net.GetMyWifiIP = "127.0.0.1" Then Return False

    Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("", Me)
    j.GetRequest.Timeout = 5000
    j.PostString(getRemoteUrl, "action=ping")
    Wait For (j) JobDone (j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Log("isInternetAvailable=" & j.GetString)
        Return j.GetString.Trim.StartsWith("OK")
    Else
        Return False
    End If
End Sub

'
Public Sub getServerVersionName(timeout As Int) As ResumableSub
    Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("", Me)
    j.GetRequest.Timeout = timeout
    j.PostString(getRemoteUrl, "action=ping")
    Wait For (j) JobDone (j As HttpJob)
    If Not(j.Success) Then Return ""

I can't do without this anymore.

That's "just" ASCII art...

 

[Serge Bertet]

This is ASCII art actually.

ASCII art is the representing of images using ASCII characters, so both are ASCII art, although the "WEB SIDE STORY" is a simpler one than the zebra

Nice find. I think I'm going to start using it

Oh ! Now I got it after checking the website.
You mean to have a big block letters above the codes so that you can say what it does.

Maybe good, maybe useless. Depends on developers preferences.

Anyway link does shows ways to get ASCII art easily. Thanks.

Yes, that make the source clearer for me as I'm not well organized ... by nature
