Is there something like Project Euler except not as math oriented?
[QUOTE=Ortzinator;27578084]Is there something like Project Euler except not as math oriented?[/QUOTE]
This would be cool, given project solutions and such and told to implement a feature or this or that. Like logical, but not heavy on the math.
[QUOTE=Overv;27574707]I've been mostly working on the back end of Facepunch for Android, so not really any new functionality yet. It loads the forums dynamically when it starts up, so when new subforums are added, they immediately appear in the application without the need for an update.
It took a while to understand how to manage the forum list data between activity restarts (when for example the screen orientation changes) and making the loading asynchronous, but the good thing is that I've learnt a lot of new stuff about developing for Android.
Here's another amazing GIF with Slow Motion by Camstudio™

Really looking forward to this. Im browsing fp on a galaxy tab right now which is pretty high end as far as android devices go, and the scrolling is pretty laggy. Theres just too much going on on a waywo page for it to handle with the ratings, images, youtube embeds, gifs etc.
One thing though, are you making sure its resolution independent? Ive found a lot of apps just sit in the middle of this 1024x600 screen with the default 800x480 or whatever it is.
HiredK, how did handle textures in your engine?

Should I use SFML to draw entities, or use OpenGL as well? (Think Doom enemies)
Turbulence is pestering me to post this on his behalf while he's banned, so I suppose I should. [b]None of the following is any of my work.[/b]
[b]Fructose[/b] is a little project I've been working on the past couple of days. It's a language that uses Ruby's syntax which compiles to PHP.
The compiler is written in C# and uses the parser from IronRuby. It grabs the AST from IronRuby, and recursively walks it, generating PHP code. The outputted code relies on a PHP library called [b]libfructose[/b] to provide standard library classes, but it's all pure PHP. Because Ruby and PHP are so dissimilar, I've basically treated PHP like Assembly in the compiler. Fructose isn't like CoffeeScript which produces readable Javascript - the outputted PHP code from Fructose isn't very readable.
There's a very small test suite at the moment, but the few tests that are present show just what Fructose is capable of:
[img]http://ahb.me/1yvI[/img]
Here's a few example input/outputs:
[release]
Hello World just demonstrates basic classes, method chaining, etc.
[b]HelloWorld.rb[/b]
[img]http://ahb.me/1yvM[/img]
[b]HelloWorld.php[/b]
[img]http://ahb.me/1yvP[/img]
[/release]
[release]
Arithmetic demonstrates the support for operator overloading, right at the core of Fructose.
[b]Arithmetic.rb[/b]
[img]http://ahb.me/1yvS[/img]
[b]Arithmetic.php[/b]
[img]http://ahb.me/1yvV[/img]
[/release]
The important thing to realise here is that although Fructose uses Ruby's syntax, [b]Fructose ain't Ruby.[/b] It's just a language with a similar philosophy that can compile into PHP. Because of this, some features Ruby supports - like execution of class bodies - aren't present in Fructose.
You can take a look at Fructose's codebase and follow my progress if you wish at [url]http://github.com/charliesome/Fructose[/url]. As Fructose gets bigger and better, I'll put a website together for it. Fructose's aim is to completely replace PHP in the development process.
If anyone has any questions, you can ask them here and I'll get luaduck to answer for me.

For the BBC feeds you have to parse an XML file to get an authentication token before you can download from their RTMP servers. The server that hosts those XML files blocks all non-UK IP addressees.
Could you just have a server in the UK download the XML file for you?
[QUOTE=layla;27581589]Could you just have a server in the UK download the XML file for you?[/QUOTE]
I don't see why not.
I'm not sure how legal it would be though, since people in the UK pay an annual TV license which pays for things like iPlayer.

You don't need a TV license to watch iPlayer so I'm not sure how exactly they get their money from it. But if they have blocked it in other countries it's sure to be illegal to make it so that it's unblocked.
[QUOTE=Richy19;27571109]Is it possible to edit individual pixels on a texture2D in XNA3.1?[/QUOTE]
Yes, using Texture2D.GetData() and Texture2D.SetData(). You won't want to do it very often though; it's very slow as it has to stall the graphics card to send/receive data from the entire texture.
Smaller textures will be faster regardless of how much data you're getting/setting.
Shoved a WebBrowser control and some RegEx in and now you don't have to type PIDs any more.

I was talking about those who don't speak English at all.
Bypassing a region lock on iPlayer which the UK pays for through taxes is verging on piracy in my opinion. You're removing locks to access content for which you have not paid. I'm not sure if ITVPlayer and 4oD are region locked too and they're funded by adverts, not taxes so I'm not actually including them in my argument.
There are some American shows that I like but I don't try to bypass any protection Hulu might have. I either wait for it to be broadcast on a television channel I have legitimate access to or I buy the DVD.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to watch shows produced by the BBC, I'm just saying you should help pay for the cost of producing them and broadcasting them.

I think you're misinformed in a few areas.
Yes, you're correct - bypassing an area restriction to watch BBC content is piracy.
However, language has nothing to do with it.
I'm Australian, I speak English, but I don't pay taxes to the British government.
For services such as Netflix (I'm not sure about Hulu), you have to pay to receive content.
I cannot access Netflix in Australia due to legal reasons.
If they were not present, there would not be illegal to bypass an area restriction (unless it was against their ToS).
(We are derailing a bit... someone post content!)
Anybody want another competition?
I'll see what we can do about getting some prizes too.
Anyone got any clever or witty suggestions what I can call this iPlayer Downloader thing?

I test it on both the emulator and my phone in portrait and landscape mode, and they both have different resolutions. Everything about the layout is relative and graphics are scaled to adapt to the screen resolution.
