Socoder -> Question of the Day -> QOTD : Your current project?

Diablo's "Next Language" question has once again brought about the slight worry that people are simply playing with languages, rather than actually coding anything!

So, my question for today is this..
What's your current "big" project, and is there any chance it'll be finished any time soon?

Yesterday I started (and almost finished) my entry for the Wednesday Workshop. I need to transfer over some clever movement code from another project first.

I'm currently designing (literally right now) a new small Java application which will allow the user to select some Java .class and .java files and print out the Java bytecode for that class with line-numbers and comments on what's happening. But all that info is generated by javap, which comes with the Java SDK. I'm just making a program to tie the files and javap together and display the bytecode straight away in a text window, rather then having to use the command-line.

My main project (that I've been toying with for a while) is a RTS written in Java. All the graphics are generated at run-time, and currently all the colours glow and stuff rotates.

Recently, I found a few persons working on a game, and I've joined them. So I'm working on a team now, as a lead programmer We're still in the early planning stage though, so not much is decided. We're just making flowcharts and talking about the game mechanics, at the moment.

I'll let you know more details at another time

I'm currently finishing DiagnoSe, An input testing app for the Nintendo DS. Also I have just started a marble rolling maze type game, also for the DS, making use of the DSMotion card. I have been trying to put together a platform game for the DS to (anyone see a pattern?) with moving platforms, button activated doors, and a major difference from any other platform game. besides that, I'm still learning to code, I'm not great at any language, but then, I'm not trying too hard to learn either.

I might not bother with the little Java bytecode GUI app, but this has got me interested in writing languages. For the next academic year I've picked 'Programming Language Technology' as one of my modules, where we write a compiler in Haskell. I might try writing a simple interpreted language in Haskell (or maybe something else) over the next few months, using a similar system to Java bytecode.

Here is an example of Java bytecode.

This is exactly the reason I don't "play with new languages" ... much better to put your energy into learning one and then (shock horror) actually making something with it.

I'm between "big" projects right now and still trying to decide what to work on next.

My main project is the same one i have had for 8 months, which is a shoot-em-up. I havnt worked on it much at all for months now because of school and work. But tomorrows is the last day of school so now ill have more time to code. I also have 2 other little things going on, one is pretty much done i just have to convince myself that it is done and dosnt need more crap added to it.

My main project right now is a C# application that I have dubbed "Notepad 2.0" it will be pretty much like word pad only less memory usage (yey for portable apps) i may possible add syntax highlighting if I can figure it out although its just a basic program letting me learn C# as much as possible. Also, I dont know if it is considered a project but my website is also under construction and is being reworked into PHP (yey ). Thats pretty much it besides learning C++/DirectX and finishing up a 3D game in Blitz3D.

Mine is fixing all the massive security flaws in my school recycling committee website that I made. However, I haven't started yet. And I won't be able to for some time...

LOL, I just imagined the site being hacked by pro-rubbish activists Oh well, good luck though shroom. Building a website looks good on any CV, especially if it's about recycling too.

|edit| Oh yeah, and my big project will be the port of Omnircron to Cobra... and actually finishing it, plus level editor. No chance of anything finishing soon though. No chance of even starting anything soon though! |edit|

I should start this fixing now... at the moment, I can think on countless ways of hacking the login page to make yourself an administrator-level account... not good!

I'm currently working on a program that was originally just an experiment turned usefull currenlty called "Snooping Cat" (reminiscent of the ceiling cat, etc. thing). Currently it pulls information such as operating system, video card, processor, disk drives (along with their capacity and current use), networking capabilites, and more for any windows-based computer; all you have to do is type in the name (and credentials if you're not on a domain).

After a gap of almost two years, I have recently started developing my long-term RPG project again. It's been my ambition to finish it since about 2003 so it is dragging on and on!

I'd like to think I can make some serious progress with it this year. Just have to keep coding and see what comes out of it.

I'm working on Saving Fable, a puzzle rpg that once Jayenkai gives me this help with the collsisons he said he'd give me, I can finish my engine.

I'm sure I'll get round to it eventually!

.. You know, probably best to just ask on the forum. Knowing me it'll be another 8 weeks before I get around to it.
