How is everyone?
1st December 2007

I be ok. I'm working on an Epos system, in Java, for the place I work at. Its pretty boring really, but its paid and I should be able to sell the systems on when its done.
Apart from that I got shit loads of college work and other things that need doing, *snip*

Sun with a Quad?
19th November 2007

I think the best way to do this would be to make a greyscale bitmap similar to what fred did. Then load it into the textures alpha byte. The colour could then be applied procedurally.
IE: to make the light yellow fill the quad with rgb value FFFF00, reta*snip*

Yes, farting cows produce a lot of greenhouse gasses, and CFCs have 70,000 times the warming effect of CO2. However cows have always been farting, and it was fairly easy to stop producing CFCs. We cant stop producing CO2. Small imbalances can make big diff*snip*

Yeah apparently the top nobs in the industry are all going apeshit at the moment shutting down sites. My favorite was tvlinks.co.uk, but that got killed recently :'(

Coding a caclulator?
31st October 2007

You could have 2 variables, preferably doubles, that store the left and right hand side of the expression. The user starts off adding digits to the left hand side. When each digits entered you multiply the existing number by 10. When they press +, -, *, o*snip*

Who codes on/for Nintendo DS?
14th October 2007

I wouldn't recommend coding in C like you would in Blitz. It might be possible to get away with it for little things, but on larger projects you would be likely to end up with a hideous mess. Its definitely a good idea to keep data as localised as possible*snip*

C++ Unfinished Image Class
13th October 2007

An unfinised class for dealing with images. So far it only loads and saves 24bit bitmaps, but I am planning to add support for PNG, JPG, and TGA. It is not dependent on any non-standard external libraries. The image data is loaded directly to RAM, which av*snip*

C++ String Class

Heres a string class I was working on until I discovered that it was pointless considering I could use the built in C++ string class. Still it does quite a few things with strings that you can do in Blitz, and it shouldent be hard to convert a function or *snip*

In C++ you can manipulate strings in a very similar way to Blitz. A lot of work has gone into abstracting strings from a character array. I made my own string class in C++ which was pretty pointless really, but with a little tweaking all the functions can *snip*

13th October 2007

I have seen some of the stuff that rockford has made, and if he can do that then I'm sure he can get his head around C/C++. Its not as incredibly complex as you seem to want to make out, especially if you have a couple of useful libraries to work with.

I don't, but it sounds like fun. I cant see myself buying a DS, but I have an old SP kicking about somewhere. Maybe I'll see if I can get hold of a writeable cartridge for it sometime.

Which language?
9th October 2007

I don't use ASM yet, and its probably bettter not to write everything with it, but it give you access to the hardware in ways that you cant get with languages like Java and Blitz. Its probably best used for certain tasks once in a while and thats about it *snip*
