[QUOTE=nullsquared;20105484]It also looks like complete shit. I, too, can assign an ugly ass color to a range of iterations and pretend I'm the pro of mandelbrots.

Right, so, this was made ~7-8 years ago as I was learning how to program. It was a school project on a shitty 16bit vga renderer with a shitty borland compiler (TurboC++ 2, released in 1989). Granted, zooming with an arbitrary rectangle is really cool (not that hard, since zooming into fractals is actually pretty easy), you see no detail with a black/white fractal, so there is no fun in actually zooming into the fractal...because you can't see shit. It's cool without the cool.

ChromiumOS Flow build, trying to get nVidia's non-free kernel module to target x86 while building on x86_64 and it's proving a total pain in the arse.

Oh and bonus, new login screen after toying around with SLiM. Snazzy artwork courtesy of Cosmic Duck.

A really stupid question but I really can't seem to find it. I need Visual Basic 5.0, my teacher said that it's free but there is no download for it at microsofts website. I prefer to get their stuff directly from them rather than downloading it from other places. Anyone know the exact location? When I search on their page they just mislead me to other places.

I dunno if maybe you're blind or something but I see the detail just fine. Yeah, not the detail caused by # of iterations, but that's different detail. Your point is invalid. If you agree your program is shitty, then don't use it as an argument to make my program seem shitty. I didn't say zooming into a rectangle was hard. I said it was my task. You don't like my task? Oh well, don't post about it.

For anyone wishing to make patterns with C++, here is my SFML pixel renderer. If SFML is correctly configured, then a Win32 project with these files added should compile nicely.
Make sure you link to the graphics, window and system static libraries.

Why aren't you using a constructor for those structs?

[Jallen]

[QUOTE=jA_cOp;20107196]Why aren't you using a constructor for those structs?[/QUOTE]

I remember trying that once and it didn't work for some reason so I just made functions to do it instead.

Bjarn Stroustroup's book is on my shelf, don't worry me with your techno mumbo jumbo, I'll get to it in the book at some point :P

You'll probably enjoy C++ a lot more if you knew what it had to offer :D

[cpp]
struct Colour
{
int r, g, b;
Colour(int r, int g, int b) : r(r), g(g), b(b){}
};
[/cpp]

This way offers a whole bunch of nice stuff. Like this, it's not possible to use a Colour with uninitialized fields. You're not introducing more than one name per object. The code is centered in one place, also a lot shorter, making it more reusable and easier to maintain. It doesn't perform any unnecessary copy operations. List goes on :love:

Hmm I can't remember why it didn't work that time when I tried it, it seems quite unusual since that's like identical to the way you do it in a class. Hmm ok I shall change it to do this.

The only difference between a struct and class in C++ is that the struct's fields are public by default.

I need some help folks, currently trying to hammer down a memory leak bug in SFML.Net 2.0 and I would like it if you guys could try this app out and tell me if it crashes or hangs up, and if so, at how many Text instances were you. I also need to know what OS you are running (if Win7 what build) and what architecture (x86, x64). This would help me greatly folks.

Just finished Reflow, my new build system for ChromiumOS. This is going to save many, many hours of time I used to spend creating builds by hand. Reflow leverages the update system I wrote as a rootFS customisation tool, which basically means you can just run it and it does all of the following:

• Updates your local copy of the code
• Downloads the latest build of Chromium from the waterfall
• Runs a pre-flight script (this enables the local user account and sets the shared password right now)
• Builds the platform packages and kernel
• Patches the image build script to produce a larger rootFS and appropriately modified MBR image
• Builds the rootFS image
• Mounts the rootFS image enters it via chroot, setting up /dev, /proc and /sys so that we have networking, copying /etc/resolv.conf from the host box to get working nameservers
• Downloads the latest updater and runs it. This gets all the patches and customisations from the update server and applies them to the image.
• Unmounts the rootFS, cleans up the mounts and resets the resolv.conf
• Creates a full disk image incl the MBR, stateful partition and root partition
• Compresses the disk image and copies it to a web accessible directory for me to grab and test

It is epic. :v:

So it has to do all of this every time you build what?
