Here you go:

MakeStuff ()
{
___ while (crafting = 1)
___ {
______ Make A Thing;
______ printf("Congrats! You made a thing!\n");
___ }
}

Put in a nested goto or I get confused.

I think you just created an infinite loop.

Congrats! You made a thing!
Congrats! You made a thing!
Congrats! You made a thing!

It needs some comments added to it for clarificaton.

I am so upset with the lack of information on crafting.
Why can't cryptic just post the open source code in the forums for us to sift through it for the next 5 years.

Ah, it won't compile anyway...

crafting.c: In function 'MakeStuff':
crafting.c:4:8: error: 'crafting' undeclared (first use in this function)
while (crafting = 1)

I wonder what language would allow writing "Make a Thing"?
I am sure there is one. But I suspect it wouldn'T use printf, would it?
And of course, crafting = 1 is an assignment, which, assuming the source code even allows undeclared variabes, might lead to an infinity loop, but will never yield the result the so called "programmer" desired.

Now we know why tacofangs isn't a programmer.

Didn't read every post but man, to suggest there is negative attitude in the blog posts is ridiculous ... maybe ludicrous.

It's a teaser for the consumer. That's all.

What do you expect, theres a certain section of the forum poster community that revels in its own cynicism, constantly inferring some malicious or devious intent from the developers with very little basis in reality

I prefer:

MakeStuff ()
{
___ while (crafting = give all)
___ {
______ Make A Thing;
______ printf("Congrats! You made a LOT of things!\n");
___ }
}

This is much cooler.

MakeStuff ()
{
___while (crafting = give all)
___{
_____ if(pay to win = $$$)
_____ {
________ Stack(Make A thing(With Big Explosions);
_____ }
_____ else
_____ {
________ Make A Thing(Null);
_____ }

_____ printf("Congrats! You made a LOT of things!\n");
___ }
}

Maybe my perspective is warped from having worked a "customer service" counter for as long as I did but I would describe the Dev's demeanor and tone as "stressed" not bored. I recognize and understand the feeling.

Consider that while we (myself included) often pick apart and nit-pik someone's project and/or long hours of creativity and coding, we only read what we want to read when we want to read it but Devs are constantly bombarded with EVERY (don't take that word to the extreme of literalness) criticism, gripe and suggestion on how something could have been done better. Consider how you might feel if you just spent 40+ hours developing and/or overseeing a new item, zone, content and/or story line only to have a boat load of players tell you that you suck, you're ruining the game, you should have done it better , etc.

"Stressed" and "unappreciated" was what I saw in the face of that Dev. Maybe I noticed it because I used to see it in the mirror everyday myself.

There, I have just criticized the criticizers. I stink. My posts suck. I should have written it better. I'm ruining the forums and fewer people are reading them now. (Truly though, and without trolling sarcasm, I enjoy reading people's posts, even if I don't always agree with their point of view).

That's one post that won't wind up on the Cryptic dartboard. <g> Very nice summary there.
