I made a post a few pages back saying I was working on a mini tank game: Well I got the movement of my tank done, and a cursor :D

Here's a youtube vid showing the movement too

[QUOTE=turb_;21979570]Keep in mind the algorithm for deciding whether to autoskip a song or not is very dodgy.

Here's the implementation:

[cpp]
var t = itunes.CurrentTrack;

if ( (like.Where(x => x.Genre == t.Genre).Count() >= 3)
|| (like.Where(x => x.Artist == t.Artist).Count() >= 3)
|| (t.Rating >= 4)
)
return;

if ( (dislike.Where(x => x.Genre == t.Genre).Count() >= 3)
|| (dislike.Where(x => x.Artist == t.Artist).Count() >= 3)
|| (t.Rating <= 1 && t.Rating != 0)
)
{
itunes.NextTrack();
return;
}

Funny, I'm actually working on something like this, only using a naive Bayes classifier, and a bit more polished classification

When you heart or dumb a song, it adds it to a like/dislike list (respectively)

When iTunes changes song, it applies a crappy 5 minute heuristic to the new song to see if you should skip it or not.[/QUOTE]

Actually, this is completely legal. It's not even decompiling, .NET assemblies aren't compiled until they're run. If you start editing/distributing it as your own, that's when you start breaking laws.

Of course, this could be a load of bullshit, as I don't see a source... I think it makes sense though; as long as you aren't distributing, why should the law care if you use the software in ways it wasn't necessarily intended to be used?

I was thinking of saying something but I thought it was too late; there are ways to form a best fit curve for a set of data, I've used a program called "graphical analysis" that does just that.

You can already graph points and lines from a table. But then it's not really an equation, so what's the point?

That program is $80?

I'm adding curve fitting (polynomials of any degree and exponentials) for much cheaper :v:

I think it's a pretty generic name, the one I had was for my physics class; I'm not sure if they had some arrangement, but I more inclined to believe it was freeware.

here's a trailer for the gravity bot game I had to make hella quick, and dropbox it so I thought I'd post it here (I'll youtube it later, no time right now, have to submit it in 1 hour and do an oral presentation [we're just gonna wing it])

The GUI's there are really nice, i also did a auto typer in a dedicated notepad app i made. It was complete within 1hr:30mins, the cool thing about it is it inserts a new character into the file every time you press a key, looks like those movie and cartoon guis.
Idea: imagine a movie style program contest in the forum

Needs less shitty sounds, and the walking animation is too slow for the actual walking speed.

[andersonmat]

I think this is mostly opinionated but that's why I wanted to come here to ask. I'm working on my 'engine' in Java and I basically have a set time that I want the engine to update the world, and I have it render as fast as possible -- giving the most FPS without an increase in world speed.

1. Is using Thread.sleep() a reliable way of timing events or should I look into using a class such as Timer() and just have the Timer class call a method to update the world at a set interval?

2. What would be the best way to use two threads? One to update and the other to render the world. That means I also have to set up thread waiting and thread notification for when one's done otherwise I may get thread data inconsistencies.

3. Should I even bother using JOGL (OpenGL wrapper for Java) or should I just move to C++ to use OpenGL?

Thanks for any input. :smile:

[ZeekyHBomb]

Why would you wanna re-draw when nothing was updated?
Either lock the framerate and tie it to the logic and the graphics or use the frametime to update the logic and do both as fast as possible.
It'd make more sense to do the logic as fast as possible and render a set amount of FPS to get input calculated as soon as possible, but even 20 FPS would probably be enough for this.

1. I think both are just as reliable. Choose what you prefer.
Timer might even use Thread.sleep. EDIT: Nope, Timer uses a different method (Object.wait).
EDIT2: [url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1453295/timer-timertask-versus-thread-sleep-in-java]Stackoverflow on this[/url].
You should not have too much stuff as a TimerTask though, as according to the Javadocs all tasks are executed in one thread, so you might then experience too much delay.
2. Use Mutexes to restrict access of certain data, not the whole. Blocking one thread until the other is finished would defeat the purpose here. EDIT: Java doesn't seem to have a Mutex-class. Look up the synchronized-keyword instead.
3. Choose what you like more :)
If you prefer Java, [url=http://lwjgl.org/]LWJGL[/url] might also be worth a look.

Artistic sun ray thing.

It's based on a slowly changing perlin noise pattern, so it looks pretty epic in motion. Unfortunately, the FPS is extremely slow, which, fortunately, can be fixed by reducing the quality to this:
