[QUOTE=Jawalt;39072785]Anyone here use Ruby? I've been messing around with it for the last day or so and it's pretty nice. The grammar is.... quirky though.

Well, I'm just about done with this program (just for personal use). Just gotta center shit and cleanup and optimize code. Listened to you guys and swapped JList with JTable, and I think it looks slightly better than before. If anybody wants source code or the program for some reason drop me a PM and I'll send it to you when done:

Thank you for the highlight!

The iOS version is actually still not released. Still waiting for Apple to do their part..

Anyway, today I got a bit bored, so I decided to make a small application to grab information from [url=http://www.gravatar.com]Gravatar[/url]

Working on my FPS game engine in OpenGL. I implemented a timer system and a seperate Input manager. Here is the game progress so far if you want to check it out: [url]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43867531/SubZero.rar[/url]
It only works on PC currently.

I've also decided that it is going to have doom style controls, so you can only rotate on the X axis. Not sure I will keep this behavior though...

I took a C++ course in high school but I forgot everything, so I'm trying out VB. This is my first program. It has a button and then plays a sound, then you can click the button again and it stops the sound. It's also an experiment with custom icons.

I'd like to know if it works with the audio and everything for you guys.

Added support for playlist creation to my API, also added support for starring/unstarring tracks and adding/removing tracks from playlists to the "friendly" API:

spotify = Spotify("un", "pw")
src_playlist = spotify.objectFromURI("spotify:user:topsify:playlist:1QM1qz09ZzsAPiXphF1l4S")
dest_playlist = spotify.newPlaylist(src_playlist.getName() + " - Copy")
dest_playlist.addTracks(src_playlist.getTracks())

Clones one playlist to another (whilst transparently replacing no-longer-available tracks and removing unavailable tracks).

there isn't a lot of good documentation

So, Ruby is the OpenGL of programming languages.

Maybe someone else can also use this. I wrote this real quick to get the server info of my teamspeak server.

<?php
function tsServerInfo($host='localhost',$port='10011',$serverId=1) {
	$fs =fsockopen($host, $port); 
	fputs($fs,"use $serverId\n");
	fputs($fs,"serverinfo\n"); 
	for($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) fgets($fs); //connect
	$parsable = explode(' ',str_replace('\n','',fgets($fs)));
	$parsedData = [];
	foreach($parsable as $parseme) {
		$parseme=str_replace('\\s',' ',$parseme);
		$parseme=str_replace('\\/','/',$parseme);
		$parseme=str_replace('\\\\','\\',$parseme);
		$expl = explode('=',$parseme,2);
		if(!isSet($expl[1])) $expl[1] = '';
		$parsedData[$expl[0]] = $expl[1];
	}
	fclose($fs);
	return $parsedData;
}
print_r(tsServerInfo('server01.liberumgamers.net'));

Except there's lots of OpenGL documentation, it's just all out of date.

Framebuffer:
[t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/41041550/Coding/C%23/OGLFV/framebuffer.png[/t]

Code to set it up:

renderbuffer = new Renderbuffer(RenderbufferTarget.RenderbufferExt);
renderbuffer.Storage(RenderbufferStorage.Rgba8, 640, 480);

frametex = new Texture2D();
frametex.TexImage(data.Scan0, 640, 480, PixelInternalFormat.Rgba8, OpenTK.Graphics.OpenGL.PixelFormat.Rgba, PixelType.UnsignedByte);
frametex.TextureMagFilter(TextureMagFilter.Linear);
frametex.TextureMinFilter(TextureMinFilter.Linear);

framebuffer = new Framebuffer(FramebufferTarget.FramebufferExt);
framebuffer.AttachRenderbuffer(renderbuffer, FramebufferAttachment.ColorAttachment0Ext);
framebuffer.AttachTexture2D(frametex, FramebufferAttachment.ColorAttachment0Ext);
framebuffer.BindDefault();

Code to render:

framebuffer.Bind();
GL.Clear (ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit); 
program.Bind();
program.UniformMatrix4("model", ref model);
program.UniformMatrix4("view", ref view);
program.UniformMatrix4("projection", ref projection);
DrawQuad(texture, vertexbuffer);
framebuffer.BindDefault();

GL.Clear (ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit); 
program.Bind();
program.UniformMatrix4("model", ref Matrix4.Identity);
program.UniformMatrix4("view", ref Matrix4.Identity);
program.UniformMatrix4("projection", ref Matrix4.Identity);
DrawQuad(frametex, screenvertexbuffer);

I like using the [url=http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/]man pages[/url] myself. Handily there's also a package for Arch called "opengl-man-pages" and I assume there's a package for debian somewhere.

Can someone explain to me what purpose and the general idea of tick rates in computer games are? I've always been interested in their purpose but never knew what to google for.

[QUOTE=false prophet;39077821]Can someone explain to me what purpose and the general idea of tick rates in computer games are? I've always been interested in their purpose but never knew what to google for.[/QUOTE]If I'm right it translates to ticks per second, more ticks means more precise simulation and physics and stuff but also lower time "budget" to do stuff every tick. 60 ticks per second means 16.66 ms per tick to do stuff and 30 ticks per second is like 33.33 ms.

[QUOTE=false prophet;39077821]Can someone explain to me what purpose and the general idea of tick rates in computer games are? I've always been interested in their purpose but never knew what to google for.[/QUOTE]

I think in most games it's the rate at which everything except the rendering parts of a game runs at. The purpose of having it fixed is that things like physics would get inconsistent at variable timesteps because of rounding errors (and some other stuff).

Currently reading [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Metaprogramming-Ruby-Program-Like-ebook/dp/B00A376YAK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357218032&sr=8-1]Metaprogramming Ruby[/url]. Ruby is so damn amazing; the fact you can add methods to a class and have libraries change their behaviour without changing a single line within them really takes DRY to its limits.

An example given is this:

class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base
end

Just that code creates methods for retrieving fields depending on the columns in a table called movies, along with CRUD methods for easily adding/removing records. Ruby metaprogramming is awesome.

I just came back to my computer to find this on my screen and, as sad as it sounds, I was truly overwhelmed for a bit. It's not often that generosity finds its way to me from people who aren't my family, and I really, really appreciate it. You have made a good birthday a great one, Blk, so thank you again! <3

P.S. I love all you guys too, don't worry.
P.P.S Apologies again for being really off topic but I just know I'd forget to say thanks next time Blk's online, so I came here instead. I promise I'll post content soon![/QUOTE]

"happy birthday or whatever" is about as sincere as I get. :v:

I try rendering a single quad covering all of visible clipspace in OpenGL (yes, I know it's deprecated, but I couldn't trust my triangle vertices anymore), and what do I get?

Oy vey. I don't even know how you can mangle a quad like that.

I use Ruby.

Not sure what your problem is with newlines, though. I've never gotten an error for an including a newline. It's generally safer to add the newline if you're unsure (that will probably also be more readable).

Parentheses are used just like they are used in math: to clear up ambiguity. If there are ever alternative interpretations due to missing parentheses, add them. The interpreter does have rules where it will yell at you for not including them, but I don't think any Ruby programmer bases their parenthesis use off of them. Remember, however, that Ruby is a really flexible language. If you aren't very familiar with the parser you can easily miss alternative interpretations of a statement without parentheses. When it doubt, add them.

[QUOTE=ThePuska;39066569]I'm convinced the world actually runs on Delphi.

That [img]http://i.imgur.com/YVkdG.gif[/img] is behind every system. If a device runs on some kind of electricity, it's probably plugged to a Windows Server 2003 via COM, running a permanently full-screen Delphi application. The about-page probably includes a name, a landline number and a hotmail address.

They're probably not even programmed by real people. It's some Delphi gnome or something that churns out horribly designed programs, littered with annoying little bugs but surprisingly stable and good enough to do the job. No-one even begins to wonder where they got the program, as far as they're concerned it was always there.[/QUOTE]

There's this program, called Subtitle Workshop, which seems to be what everyone uses to edit their subtitles after subtitle editor. A dude from work wrote it in Delphi when he was 14, and this is what he wrote about it years later:
