I'm bored and can't think of anything to program.
So, if anyone wants to share some ideas for something that'd be great.
If it's something that requires a UI, it'd be great if it was possible in Qt or GTK.
Don't suggest making a game or a mod, not really in the mood for that.
I'd prefer something that won't require an eternity of work but it shouldn't take a few minutes.
Has to be possible in C++ or Python.
[b]tldr: I need ideas for program(s) to make in C++ and Python.[/b]
A basic syntax highlighter/auto complete.
hmm, kinda like the one in gedit or more like the kasyntaxy bot for Google Wave?
(live editing as you type or once it's done it evaluates it then highlights)
I need ideas to help me learn C# as well. :sigh:

Finally decided to drop VB in favour of C#? Congratulations.
I decided there isn't much you can do with Visual Basic, so I moved on to C#. I'm still going to occasionally mess around with it though. :)
Yeah, that's basically what everyone was trying to tell you when you posted something about VB. Though I'm still not much of a fan of .NET languages. I think I'm gonna try a gedit-style syntax highlighting like efex suggested though. You should probably try XNA or something.
C# is amazing. There's only a couple of (minor) things I don't like about it.

It's not so much the languages I have a problem with, it's more that I do 99% of my coding on Linux and there isn't really a solid implementation of .NET which is the whole advantage of those languages if you ask me.
Well, if anyone can link me to something that is understandable for someone who's been doing C# for a little more than a week, thanks :smile:

You could try looking at some of the tutorials built into XNA. They talk about the basics including movement, collision handling, etc. They're pretty well written and provide a good amount of information on what you need to know to create something with XNA.
I'm not going to start with XNA yet, I want to basically start from the very beginning. I've already made 2 "nooby" things: My "Make your computer beep" and "Guess a number".

Seems to cover a good lot of the very basics.
Should go beyond your beeping and guessing apps.

Mono is pretty damn solid. Sure, it may not implement stuff like System.Windows.Forms, but it doesn't need to. Mono isn't meant to be .NET, it's meant to be a CLR.
Interesting, I might look into it eventually.

Also, it does implement Winforms, that was just a loose example
Mediafire is being stupid so I can't upload my awesome "Guess the Number" app. My friend almost pissed himself laughing because of the "Consequence" for guessing the wrong number.
I'd offer access to my open directory section through ftp, but I'm pretty sure you'd rather just wait for Mediafire to work.
Yeah, my internet is being weird today. I'll reset my modem and router and try later.
Alright, I'm actually interested in seeing your number guesser. It'd be cool if you included source with it as well.
Alright, I'll just upload the entire folder of it. But I'll need to include a .zip of the .exe and the sounds folder, because I made it play a sound from the folder it's inside.
Yeah, sounds fine.
OK cool, I'll upload it tomorrow.
am i the only one who was on topic? god damn
Whoops, sorry.

lol yes, you were. But I kinda got bored of making a syntax highlighter and went to make additions to a tumblr theme instead.
well at least you have something to do now :v:

I got as far as I could go really...
Added DISQUS comments to it.
Though it's kinda broken. I'm not sure how to fix it though so I'm just leaving it.
The "broken" part is that if the post is short there's a huge gap between the post and the comments.
A server of some sort (especially if you have multiple PCs).
Learning networking stuff is good & getting inspired for multi-user app ideas is a lot easier
Hey guys, I'm uploading my "Guess the Number" thing. It'll be up in about 10 minutes or so I guess.
[editline]02:53PM[/editline]
Done!

Mind the size, it's because I uploaded the entire folder and theres a .wav file in there. One folder is named "Guess the number SOURCE" and one is "Guess the number LAUNCHER stuff" so you know which is which. Enjoy checking it out.
