What Are You Working On? V13 - Developers

[QUOTE=xAustechx;25079390]Will do Ryan, will do. And thanks for the advice, I really do use it. Before the lights were just circles, but some recommended to make them better so now they're dynamic. But I will try to come up with creative ideas. Thanks for the support. :)[/QUOTE] And have you thought about having sprites instead of using circles?

Made the most boring game of pong ever, computer never looses { if bally > paddley then move paddle up else move paddle down } next step is to make it more realistic

Even better: paddleY = ballY - (paddleHeight/2) Super smart AI amirite?

[QUOTE=Chris220;25090134]Even better: paddleY = ballY - (paddleHeight/2) Super smart AI amirite?[/QUOTE] I thought setting it directly was even more unfair , and yeah is pretty dumb, but all A.I starts off as dumb, now I have it only moving when the ball is coming towards it

I'm trying to parse some HTML, but once again regular expression aren't working how I expect them to work. [cpp] Pattern p = Pattern.compile("<TD.*?>(.+?)</TD>"); Matcher m = p.matcher(s); if (m.find()) { //Never goes here } else { //Always goes here }[/cpp] s is this: [code]<TR><TD width="50%" nowrap=1>E1 </TD><TD width="50%" nowrap=1>HO </TD></TR><TR><TD width="50%" nowrap=1>5ADV </TD><TD width="50%" nowrap=1>1) </TD></TR>[/code] Through trial&error I found out that for some reason it always stops when it hits "E1".

*Ahem* [quote]While it is true that asking regexes to parse arbitrary HTML is like asking Paris Hilton to write an operating system, it's sometimes appropriate to parse a limited, known set of HTML. If you have a small set of HTML pages that you want to scrape data from and then stuff into a database, regexes might work fine. For example, I recently wanted to get the names, parties, and districts of Australian federal Representatives, which I got off of the Parliament's Web site. This was a limited, one-time job. Regexes worked just fine for me, and were very fast to set up.[/quote]

I'm not generally parsing HTML. I'm accessing the data inside a machine generated file which happens to be formatted in HTML. I think my regex is correct. Can someone tell me if I'm wrong or if it's a bug in the regex engine? Oh and how would you access data in tons of tables in a HTML table (:suicide:) without a combination of regex and indexOfs?

Since nobody could help me I just did it myself using a few indexOfs and it's working :buddy: [IMG_thumb]http://i53.tinypic.com/258828j.png[/IMG_thumb]

[QUOTE=arienh4;25091710]The answer was to not use regexes. There's a reason the answer I quoted is at the top. (Not just because it's hilarious)[/QUOTE] In theory regexes would have been a lot easier. It's just that there was a small problem where it stopped searching for no reason.

Don't you just hate it when something is working fine, then you spot a bug in the code, fix it, run the program again to test it and everything has completely broken.

Sounds like the wonderful work of an optimising (and in this case, fixing), compiler!

No posts in 2 hours? :o Content: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/286964/TuneTiles/RandomTiles.jpg[/img] Programmable tools - In this case a spray can that does random colours :D Isn't it great when you can get an idea implemented in 10 minutes or less. Also getting sick of having to use "Color" in code and "Colour" in everything else. I was in my weekly english class and nearly found myself writing "Color"

I wrote a function for calculating the intersection point of the line (d, e) and the plane (a, b, c) in 3D. [code] function LineXPlane3(a, b, c, d, e: TVec3): TVec3; var d1, d2, d3, d4, t: single; begin d1 := ((e.z - a.z)*(b.y - a.y) - (e.y - a.y)*(b.z - a.z)) * ((a.x - c.x)*(b.y - a.y) - (a.y - c.y)*(b.x - a.x)); d2 := ((e.y - a.y)*(b.x - a.x) - (e.x - a.x)*(b.y - a.y)) * ((a.y - c.y)*(b.z - a.z) - (a.z - c.z)*(b.y - a.y)); d3 := ((d.y - e.y)*(b.x - a.x) - (d.x - e.x)*(b.y - a.y)) * ((a.y - c.y)*(b.z - a.z) - (a.z - c.z)*(b.y - a.y)); d4 := ((d.z - e.z)*(b.y - a.y) - (d.y - e.y)*(b.z - a.z)) * ((a.x - c.x)*(b.y - a.y) - (a.y - c.y)*(b.x - a.x)); t := (d1 - d2)/(d3 - d4); result.x := e.x + t*(d.x - e.x); result.y := e.y + t*(d.y - e.y); result.z := e.z + t*(d.z - e.z); end; [/code] Goddamn it was tedious to solve it.

[QUOTE=thomasfn;25093391]Don't you just hate it when something is working fine, then you spot a bug in the code, fix it, run the program again to test it and everything has completely broken.[/QUOTE] That's what unit tests are for.

[QUOTE=Ortzinator;25097168]That's what unit tests are for.[/QUOTE] Don't you hate it when you can't be bothered writing unit tests and then you introduce a bug that turns out to be in the exact opposite place that you think it might be?

Yeah, don't you hate it when programmers have 20/20 hindsight?
