What are you working on? V7

[QUOTE=andersonmat;20129798]Well, it is .NET. :v:

Awwww yeah, rate me dumb. It is .NET. It's considerably slower, bulky and Microsoft made it. :downs:[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=blankthemuffin;20129905]Well what is the bug Xeon06?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Xeon06;20108333]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.

And here is the link to the SFML thread:

I can't figure it out for the life of me.

It doesn't work for me. I'll look at it if you PM me the source.

Thanks, I really appreciate the help. No need to PM, it's no big secret, it's only that:

using System;
using SFML.Window;
using SFML.Graphics;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace SFML1
{
	class Game
	{
		static void Main()
		{
			//NOTE: Compile targeting the x86 architecture if you get Bad Image Format Exceptions
			RenderWindow app = new RenderWindow(new VideoMode(500, 500, 32), "SFML1");
			app.Closed += new EventHandler(OnClosed);

			while (app.IsOpened())
			{
				app.DispatchEvents();
				app.Clear();

				Text t = new Text("Text object instances: " + Text.Count);
				app.Draw(t);

				app.Display();
			}
		}

		static void OnClosed(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			((Window)sender).Close();

			if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) //Hotfix for app crashing in Debug mode when closing if using Text
				System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();
		}
	}
}

I modified the .Net bindings slightly, adding the ObjectCount property to the Text object. It's only a static counter that I increment in the constructor and decrement in the destructor.

[Ortzinator]

Well I meant send me the solution so I can debug it.

What's the bug? Have you considered log spam? As well, is the bug a crash bug? You might be able to use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException to write a crash dump.

I'm not attacking anything, it's a joke bud, get over yourself. Just because you think your opinion is greater than mine doesn't mean you have to "shew" me to the Web Programming forum.

You are creating an object every frame :\.

Also because of the way .net works. It wont be deleted every iteration. It will wait until the garabage collector gets it.

That was simply a joke, I like to have a good time and joke. There were other things that preceded that statement that were true about .NET. Furthermore, a "Fuck Off" smiley face isn't much of an argument either.

So it's a fact that it's considerably slower and bulky? Compared to?

DirectX is horrid. Is does what OpenGL has been able to do for ages and works on one system. Rate me boxes.

Well, as much as your point may be valid. I have no idea how this is related to anything, nor do I think you have any idea why it's valid. I'm pretty sure you have no real experience of either API and you're just talking a load of crap you read on the internet.

[mechanarchy]

blah blah blah, welcome back flamewars. :sigh:

As for actual development, I've just finished writing a high-score manager class for my game. I wasn't sure about the best way to store the format so I just went for a custom binary-format, and that seems to be working quite well. So far it doesn't have sorting, but that's just about to be added.

[editline]07:25PM[/editline]

Actually, a quick question for you all. In my high-score manager, I have it opening the file in the constructor, loading the data and leaving the handle open until you close it yourself or destroy the object. Is this an acceptable way of doing it, or should I be loading the data and then closing the handle?

As it currently stands, leaving it open means when I write it I need to close the handle, open it in output mode, output my stuff and then reopen it in input mode. :/

With gmail for example, you can use SMTP, POP3 and IMAP, all SSL/TLS enabled. POP3 sucks though, if you want to be instantly notified of new mail, use IMAP.

Is there no way to open it in both reading and writing mode? You could do it in python but I am not sure about other langauges.

[QUOTE=Jallen;20126350]Wierd... I made a random paths program, and rand from stdlib.h, no matter what the seed (I seed it with time(NULL) at the beginning of the program) always ends up giving me the same strange shape...

Here's a picture of this strange shape:

... Whoa. Maybe I just completely misread that page I was looking at before, or it was just plain wrong, but apparently std::ios::out [b]doesn't[/b] have strange side-effects (like file truncation). Good old cplusplus.com to the rescue!

Thank you for making me question my own stupidity :smile:

Indeed, but this is still the correct way of doing it, I don't need to declare my objects before my function (according to the SFML.Net dev anyways). The problem is that since this object uses unmanaged memory, it's sometimes just hangs up when it arrives at GC for some reason.

The real problem IMO is in the way SFML does stuff. It shouldn't require objects to draw, but merely method calls, ie: DrawText(string text) instead of Draw(Text text).

What bug exactly? Highly doubt its .Net.

It eventually hangs up on certain systems when there are enough string instances instead of garbage collecting them.

That's negligible.

C? C++? D? Don't tell me you've never felt a few seconds of a .NET application loading before.

Who comes to this thread just to look at pretty pictures of other peoples awesome creations and only wishes you had the capacity to do it yourself?

I genuinely am impressed some of the stuff you guys can do and I love reading up about but I do tend to scroll over the big code parts and look for more screenshots :p

Keep it up guys!
