...Joe Satriani's Until We Say Goodbye, which is fairly unusual. I guess that I'm in an electric guitar period now, because I mostly listen to acoustic stuff.

Happy Easter
10th April 2009

Easter is religious? Nah, just kidding. But it's pretty much lost any connections to Jesus it ever had. At least over here. We decorate the house with chickens and eggs, so I guess that we celebrate it (and there's lots of chocolate to be consumed).

Socoder Logo
9th April 2009

What we need is a symbol. I know that the image below in itself isn't ultra-awesome, but it's a symbol; one which can be adapted to five megazillion different themes (I am, of course, talking about the semi-circle 'S').

Socoder Logo
6th April 2009

A logo shouldn't be dependant on special effects, even though it can overall benefit from them. Optimally, a logo should be displayable in monochrome and people should still know that it's SoCoder. But nowadays it's hard to make a distinct logo.

Mind-bending Puzzles

Stumbled upon this site, with programming/math problems. The first few are fairly easy, but then the difficulty level grows.

Using a DLL
5th April 2009

I got the solution posted by Mark working directly, and I have the latest version of Blitz. I don't know if that's the problem though. But you should always have the lates version anyway, so it doesn't hurt to get it.

I got it working using this method instead, perhaps you should try that. Make sure to have the latest binary of the DLL as well.

Number bug in Blitz?

#194 - The Picture FX Challenge

Really nice effect Jay :)

Number bug in Blitz?
31st March 2009

[code]
a = 2^26
Print a
Print 2^26
WaitKey()
[/code]
Result:
67108864
67108900.0
So I suspect that this is another case of floating point inaccuracy. The power operator returns a float.

[quote]Dumb question, but you do know that ^ in Blitz is not the same as ^ in C right? In Blitz it's for power (why?), in all other languages it's the bitwise exclusive or. So in other languages you'd need to use something else.[/quote]

Number bug in Blitz?
30th March 2009

No, my math isn't incorrect. Firstly, due to operator precedence 2^26-2 is equal to (2^26)-2, not 2^(26-2). Secondly, the result of the program would be wrong even if we ignored operator precedence, because 2^24 isn't equal to 2^26 either.

Fiddling about with numbers in Blitz, I came across something odd.

Else
Print "F"
EndIf
WaitKey()

This prints 'T'. It obviously shouldn't. I immediately tried this in both C and C#, and both yielded t*snip*

Jay interpreted my idea correctly :) You're supposed to write a computer program using actual code and bells and whistles to apply an effect, be it animated or static, to an image of the user's choice. So it's both a coding and an art challenge.
