I got bored of graphing equations, so I'm thinking of writing a MUD, ala Hellmoo and such. It shouldn't be too difficult, and once you get the base framework down, the rest is just creating content, so it might even be fun to play around with once its done.
[QUOTE=high;22123509]That is a horrible viewpoint. You are the reason we can't have nice things.[/QUOTE]
I think its fine, as long as it is only applied to Microsoft.

[QUOTE=Darwin226;22123713]So you are defending downloading from TPB but not downloading from DreamSpark?
Look, I downloaded it legally and he will download it from a torrent so I think that this is a better alternative.[/QUOTE]
If both are wrong, then neither is a good option.
The Express Editions work fine enough for me...
Maybe you are right. He did download the Express version but somehow it didn't seem wrong to try DreamSpark.
I don't think he'll use any of the extra features anyway.

Where did I say that? Also you said "something" not "visual studio" or "microsoft products" etc.

Torrents are legal. Some files that are popular on torrent sites are not illegal.
Correct me if I'm wrong, by all means, but in my experience the free Express versions of VB/C#/C++/VWD/SQL are more than adequate for most people.
If you need anything else then you're most likely developing software professionally in which case you should be paying for the full version of Visual Studio anyway.
I need some math help. I'm trying to draw an arrow with a line and a triangle from a point to the mouse cursor. The line changes in length but the triangle part stays the same size.

Aren't the express editions missing some IntelliSense features?
[QUOTE=Chad Mobile;22118022]broo20_c.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.[/QUOTE]
Well shit, I never actually did any error checking. bendin.txt has to be in the same directory as the .exe and it has to contain the right input format (i.e. two lines of four space-delimited numbers)

look into atan2().
[QUOTE=Robber;22125228]Aren't the express editions missing some IntelliSense features?[/QUOTE]
I don't think so. I think the main thing is it doesn't support addons.

I didn't test it but this should work:
[cpp]//Pseudocode
function doArrowStuff(Point start, Point mouse)
{
float angle=atan2(start.y-mouse.y, start.x-mouse.x);
Point firstCorner(cos(angle-20)*bigPartSize, sin(angle-20)*bigPartSize);
Point secondCorner(cos(angle+20)*bigPartSize, sin(angle+20)*bigPartSize);
}[/cpp]

I'm pretty sure Visual C# Express 2008 couldn't automatically generate properties while Visual Studio 2008 could.
The express versions can't compile to "Any CPU". So being a user of 64bit windows I use the full version.

a = point - mouse
width = triangle's width
height = triangle's height
n = a's normal (n.x = -a.y; n.y = a.x)
p0 = point - height*(a/|a|) + 0.5*width*(n/|n|)
p1 = point - height*(a/|a|) - 0.5*width*(n/|n|)

I assume you can work with that amount of information

Express Editions just compile to x86 rather than Any CPU if you are on 64-bit Windows.

Thanks, this works. I just had to add in the starting point to the new points.

it isn't compiled to "any cpu". it merely sets a flag for the runtime in the manifest which can be easily changed.

Yeah because what I put needed to be exact when the point is the program won't work on 64bit systems using express without further editing.

Finally made some progress on my game using LÖVE. A lot of the gameplay isn't set in stone yet, but I've got a global idea. I don't know if I'll use the zooming functionality, but it's pretty neat.
I didn't notice the stars in the background at first.

I just thought my screen was really dusty.
Guide making such a high quality starry background:
Paint.NET -> noise -> black & white -> blur

Finding a decent artists is on the todo list.
I made this a while back for my space flight game, feel free to use it if you like it. It's 3000x3000, and I still have the original if you want me to scale it up/down a bit.

Also, if you don't like the purple colour then I'd be happy to recolour it for you.
Just wanted to let you guys know I'm working on my website now, so I'll be posting more in the web development WAYWO. So far, according to the webdev guys, my design sucks :v:
Finally got something done with the Android SDK. Now I need a good idea what to make as my first proper app.

Null I think you should invest the first $50 made from your app in a decent web template.
