[QUOTE=Robber;40000713]I continued with my plans for my AR Drone and my app actually just crashed while the drone was hovering and I panicked and turned off wifi and hoped the drone would just land itself, but it just continued hovering there and could have flown of into the bushes any second (because it's super windy atm). I tried grabbing the drone mid air and pushing it to the ground but the darn thing wouldn't turn of. Then I remembered that it had a emergency shut off when it flipped over so i tried turning it over which the drone obviously registered and tried to fight against it and became super angry (or just loud because it tried to counteract me).
Programming isn't usually this exciting :v:[/QUOTE]
If you're good at electronics, you can hook up a small radio receiver like the ones found in garage doors (hopefully with a bit better range) and program the drone to override the instructions from the Android and just land.
Or you can invest in a few hundred light-weight dog leashes.

By any chance are you able to apply simple textures?[/quote]
I know I can apply textures yeah but I'm not sure how fast it will be. I might save that for drawing text.
[editline]22nd March 2013[/editline]
There are ways you could draw simple patterns across the polygons using a stencil buffer and/or blending.

That is actually pretty damn cool.
I once made an OpenGL window that would just slide to the right and go off the screen. I still have no idea how I managed to do that.
I added very basic pipes and folder actions to my test console, so now I can write
[code]==> all>with tag>save to dir
With tag>LMMS
Directory to save to>"F:\Landfill Export Test"[/code]
to retrieve files.
I also made the availability a distinct status so I can drop and delete files with a something>drop>purge chain without deleting the names (which is OK for testing but definitely not a sensible thing to do).
Got in flat shading to my LOVE 3d framework. Coming along well :D. Just need to finish the camera bug. I did testing and I'm able to render ~8000 polys on mediocre hardware at decent FPS.
Any choppyness is caused by recording, it's amazingly smooth here.

It looks fine structure-wise but your usage of String is really cringe-worthy.
If you create a string by appending text a few times use StringBuilder instead. It's much faster because it avoids the string pool.
The lists in nameBase should really be ArrayList<char> as you only store one character at a time. char has a much smaller footprint than String because there are no references involved.
The way your rebuild the keys for nameBase is pretty bad too, either use a substring on strLine or make a Pair class that takes care of comparisons. (The latter is most likely faster.)
There's a duplicate check for [I]once[/I] in line 81 (remove the rightmost one).
I really doubt "" + as replacement for .toString() is good practice, although the compiler probably optimizes that out.

Thanks for the feedback, could you clarify your third point though? (The rebuilding of keys one)
[QUOTE=hogofwar;40005388]Thanks for the feedback, could you clarify your third point though? (The rebuilding of keys one)[/QUOTE]
You use c[i] + "" + c[i + 1] a few times. A faster way to do this is strLine.substring(i, i + 2) , as that only creates one string. You can also make it a bit faster by storing this in a variable instead of recomputing it each time it's used.
The reason I mentioned a Pair class is the string pool: Every time a String is created, Java checks if it already exists and reuses the existing String if possible. This means Strings are efficient regarding memory use, but creating a large number of strings is very slow.
If you have a class that stores two chars and implements the methods necessary to act as key in a HashMap, you can circumvent the string pool and only check against the keys in the HashMap.
StringBuilder is similar, it most likely contains a char array and a length variable in some form instead of using String.

I killed him. And every morning, when the day broke, I went to work! I was singu

not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the old
man. He had never wronged me. He had been too wary for that. A tub had caught al

tone, and inquiring how he has passed the night. So you see he would have been
a very profound old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. Now this is the
beating of the unperceived shadow that caused him to the death watches in the c

the sound well. Many a night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he sle

A watch's minute hand moves more quickly --more vehemently; but the noise was no

louder every instant. The old man was dead. I placed my own bosom, deepening, w

[code]By Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I answered cheerily, they
chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished
them gone. My head ached, and I knew it was impossible to do the work; for it w
as the mournful influence of the body. The night waned, and I kept quite still a

one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered- not a minute stopped
or stayed he;But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door, With
such name as 'Nevermore.' But the fact is I was napping, and so it was this! He
had been lodged at the street door. I went to work! I was napping, and so gentl

while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgo

police office, and they (the officers) had been deputed to search the premises.
I smiled, --for what had I to fear? There entered three men, who introduced the

That didn't work so well. Trigrams are too short to preserve structure, maybe around 1 1/2 of a measure would work better.
It's not properly integrated into the synth, I just made it override the notes in the piano roll.

I used something similar to this I think generating words once. I had trigrams/bigrams/unigrams of each letter combo and I could figure out how likely letters were to come up to one another. It could tell whether or not you could find the word in a dictionary fairly reliably.

I nearly doubled performance today, and I decided to render the classic teapot. You can see depth sorting issues here, but I'll fix that soon. It's only 60-90 fps while recording. It gets ~280 fps without recording, which is impressive considering it's in Lua and all of it is software expect the actual rasterization. I can now render 10,000 lit polygons at 60 fps.

Higher res textures, more deliberate art style and the bottom screenshot is an insta buy for me. Looks like a start to a great adventure game.
I am making a program to evaluate the validity of symbolic logical arguments, via truth table. I have gotten it to show the value of an expression for each possible combination of variable values so far. I just love the way my evaluation function turned out:
[code]
public static boolean evaluate(String postEx, char[] vars, boolean[] values){
char[] expression = postEx.toCharArray();
Stack<Boolean> valueStack = new Stack<>();
for(int i = 0; i<expression.length; i++){
if(inArray(order,expression[i])){
switch(expression[i]){
case '~': valueStack.push(!valueStack.pop()); break;
case '*': valueStack.push(valueStack.pop() & valueStack.pop()); break; //must remove both values
case '+': valueStack.push(valueStack.pop() | valueStack.pop()); break;
case '>': valueStack.push(valueStack.pop() | !valueStack.pop()); break; //come in reverse order
case '=': valueStack.push(valueStack.pop() == valueStack.pop()); break;
}
}else{
for(int j = 0; j<vars.length; j++){
if(expression[i] == vars[j]){
valueStack.push(values[j]);
break;
}
}
}
}
return valueStack.pop();
}

I switched and with * and or with + and implication with > so it would be easier to type stuff in when it's done.
