What are you working on? v15

[Dryvnt]

I'm sitting at school, trying to get my program to work.
I need the VC2010 redist, but I can't install it because of not having administrator permissions.

Could anyone zip MSVCP100.dll and MSVCR100.dll and then upload it somewhere for me?
Or will it still not work with those?

I feel left out for not getting any PMs from soda :saddowns:

[r4nk_]

yeah same :frown:

Hey soda I'm a girl I swear

[Parakon]

he's just playing hard to get r4nk_

[Cassel]

Does anyone know how binaural simulation work? I have read that the max delay between human ears is ~700 microseconds and that seems a little too fast to simulate.

Can we try to not start an argument like the last time soda has posted ?

I like how I save constantly in video games, but when it comes to a project i'm putting effort into, I forget and have to redo quite a bit of stuff.

During the Software Testing lecture today the professor (jokingly) remarked that every programmer should be able to name all the Turing award winners. So I figured I'd ask how many do you guys know? :eng101:

EDIT:

That professor also has a Twitter over here with pretty interesting links and stuff concerning software design / testing: [url]https://twitter.com/#!/delftswtesting[/url]

0.
A few of them I just can't remember :D

Im making a quick game in SFML with C++, is it worth having the update and the draw functions as threads?

Haha, it was just to poke fun at us. One of those Turing award winners (a woman even) popped up on the presentation slides so he asked if we knew her. Not a single person out of the 50 people that were there :v:

Does he happen to be an academic rather than ex-industry professor, because that is a completely useless piece of information.

The Turing award is regarded as the highest distinction in computer science. You guys should at least know that (and now you do).

Working on a Flash Game Engine called The Rice Engine, which uses DnD as well as a custom scripting language which can also integrate with web languages such as HTML, Java, Flash. Just finished the Prototype A using GameMaker, and am now switching to RealBasic.

What I know is that Computing is a field anyone can contribute to or work within, because it doesn't require a huge background of knowledge like maths or science. People can create and innovate by themselves, which is partly why I love programming.
I have no interest in the formalities in the field of computer science such as that award, the people who have contributed to it or specifically striving to add to the field myself.

I just want to make what I want and get money.

Ah yes, I'll make sure to use that knowledge in every program I code from now on.

You're on a 64 bit machine, right? I can't remember what we did to make it work on 64 bit, but try changing the target platform to x86 and recompile it. It should create a new folder called x86 with Debug/Release inside. You'll then need to copy all of the misc files from the original debug/release folder back in - but don't overwrite anything.

[zenby]

Alright, I'll try that.

I got a BrainFuck editor/interpreter working, but I plan to get some sort of macro system so you can say stuff like "add_des", which would translate to BrainFuck code to destructively add the current cell and the next.

Know what sucks most? When you show people something you are working on and they do the same thing and 1-up you because they have better knowledge of the language.

[QUOTE=Cassel;27951391]Does anyone know how binaural simulation work? I have read that the max delay between human ears is ~700 microseconds and that seems a little too fast to simulate.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure it's been proven to work at all. I mean let's just say a certain frequency has an affect on the brain, it still wouldn't be magic. I see a lot of people say it will help you quit smoking or whatever, but I call bullshit. In fact I quit smoking on Wednesday despite [u]actual[/u] chemicals affecting my brain telling me to smoke loads and loads because it's ace. I think the most effect, if [i]any[/i] would be the same kind of effect warm milk has when you drink it. Warm milk (not cold milk) makes the brain release serotonin, which makes you sleepy - that definitely happens, and yet, I could go get some warm milk now and still be awake later, because I can decide to not go to sleep, serotonin released or not. So even if this binaural sounds did work, the effect wouldn't be of much use. Although I'm not saying you can ignore anaesthetics or chemicals that numb you at the dentist, or drugs that cause different chemicals to release, that's different.

Sorry for the off-topiccy-ness but to answer your question about the time max delay between ears - I'm not sure that's relevant - the 'beat' in binaural beats is sort of imagined by the brain if I remember right (I probably don't) because of the difference in frequencies.

Thats why you only "show" them what you are working on. Einstein was [b]NOT[/b] the most mathematically inclined person (his cousin-wife helped him with some of his equations), but the man was a creative genius! There will always be people who can code better than you, but they can't steal your creative ideas...unless your uncreative enough to post those too.

Well, same here, I don't care much about formalities either. But knowing something about the history of the field you're working in can't do any harm, right? People who won the Turing award shaped computer science as we know it. I personally find it pretty interesting to see who's shoulders I'm standing on.
