What Are You Working On Jan 2013

[QUOTE=TrafficMan;39125775]A window pops up

"Do you want a cupholder?"

The only option is yes and when you press it the cd drive opens[/QUOTE]

That reminds of the guy who was too lazy to be a good father and wrote a bash script to open and close his CD Drive every few seconds to rock the carrier for his child. He even made it a video. Of course, everyone was like "WOW. SUCH A GOOD IDEA. NOW I CAN BE A BAD PERSON AND A BAD FATHER".

The best part was his discussion of the bug where the CD drive wouldn't eject and how he fixed it. Like, duder, you're spending time away from your kid so you can debug why your shitty attempts to stay away from your kid aren't working. That's some new level of meta bad parenting right there, right up there with becoming a referee in AYSO so your son or daughter doesn't get a red card and kicked out of the game.

Why weren't you a referee dad, why were you a fair and righteous coach. Whyyyyyyy? :(

This is probably the most excited I've been about my work in awhile.
Xi is finally starting to turn into something.
Now that basic expressions are implemented I just need to add... everything else. :D

What language are you writing this in?

Rewrote my platform physics test in C++, added a basic PvP mode. Had some good fun playing with friends.

What's with the influx of people using C# for everything?

[QUOTE=Sartek;39126721]What's with the influx of people using C# for everything?[/QUOTE]

Because it's the world's greatest language.

Anyone who disagrees is probably just Richard Stallman.

Multiplying strings... What is this nonsense?

Python, because, why not?

I gave it a try 2 years ago and couldn't figure out how to do anything in it even after following one of the XNA tutorials. After that I switched over to C++ figured out how to compile SFML and got something up in an hour. I guess the problem was not really with C# just I didn't understand the libraries and hadn't looked up the documentation.

Maybe you should start from the basics instead of trying to make a game as your first project.

In his defence, you can't really get work done while you rock a babby.

I'm pretty sure you can sell successful bot nets for millions. Although if you can find a 0day, you can sell that for large chunks of cash too. If you can managed to find a good one, like one for win7. The os not any of the programs people install.

You'll need a function in there somewhere because putting that directly in a class won't/shouldn't work with any language.[/QUOTE]

not necessarily no.

In Python and Ruby, class bodies are just executable code. Bloody good idea that.

c# is ok, but i wouldn't go that far.

Been using Jira for about a week. Hate how old school and busy it is. It does have some good features, I like the dashboard and the wallboards.

Going to try basecamp out again. They changed it quite a bit. It's simpler than it was.. and a billion times simpler than jira. But that's fine when all we really want is an assignable todo list with comments.

I haven't used it myself, and I don't remember whether it's already been brought up, but have you looked into trello?

[QUOTE=ECrownofFire;39126740]Multiplying strings... What is this nonsense?[/QUOTE]
It's fine to multiply strings if you know that the string is longer than (string location * factor - string location) characters and that the product will not be out of memory/exceed pointer size, but in multitasking OSes it's better not to multiply strings.

By the way, C# was created by a delphifag. Being it called "C#" is an insult to C/C++ developers. I'd call it Delphi#.

Haven't looked at trello, but we use [url=http://asana.com/product]Asana[/url] where I work and it is great!

[editline]7th January 2013[/editline]

It's also free for under 30 people and has a API.

I just tried ST2 in it's vim mode. It is glorious, especially w/ [url=https://github.com/SublimeText/VintageEx]VintageEx[/url] installed.

It's used in some programming languages. The only one I can think of right now is Python. It's not that usefull unless you're doing stuff like formatting SQL output into a fancy ascii table etc as far as I know.

Or, you know, Java# (but not J#, that's taken), because it's almost the same syntax.

And I can't see any resemblance of C# in...this:

procedure CalcNormals;
var
  i, j, Count: Integer;
  l: Single;
  Normal: TVector3f;
  FaceNormals: array of TVector3f;
begin
   SetLength(N, Length(V));
   SetLength(FaceNormals, Length(F));

   for i := 0 to High(F) do begin
     Normal := GetNormal(V[F[i][0]], V[F[i][1]], V[F[i][2]]);
     FaceNormals[i] := Normal;
   end;

  for i := 0 to High(V) do
  begin
    ZeroMemory(@Normal, SizeOf(Normal));
    Count := 0;
    for j := 0 to High(F) do
    begin
      if (F[j][0] = i) or (F[j][1] = i) or (F[j][2] = i) then
      begin
        Normal[0] := Normal[0] + FaceNormals[j][0];
        Normal[1] := Normal[1] + FaceNormals[j][1];
        Normal[2] := Normal[2] + FaceNormals[j][2];
        Inc(Count);
      end;
    end;
    N[I][0] := -Normal[0] / Count;
    N[I][1] := -Normal[1] / Count;
    N[I][2] := -Normal[2] / Count;
    l := sqrt(N[I][0]*N[I][0] + N[I][1]*N[I][1] + N[I][2]*N[I][2]);
    if l <> 0 then
    begin
      N[I][0] := N[I][0] / l;
      N[I][1] := N[I][1] / l;
      N[I][2] := N[I][2] / l;
    end;
  end;
end;

That reminded me of the video where some guy makes Javascript print "NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN BATMAN!" or something like that.
