#4931135 Importance of structs?
Posted by HNikolas on 14 April 2012 - 01:09 AM
// Nvm, just read Washu's comment. So basically if I am writing my own code for my own use, theres not much difference whether I use structs or classes.

Posted by HNikolas on 13 April 2012 - 10:37 PM
Other things to do:
- Learn computer graphics.
- Learn electronic music composing and sound effects.
- Start to use some game engine.
- Think small.
And keep that in mind: Winners never quit, quitters never win.
#4931039 Hero Engine?
Posted by HNikolas on 13 April 2012 - 01:57 PM
What makes HE interesting is that you do not define(create the blueprints) the classes in the code using HSL but you make them with an DOM Editor, I quess its made that way so it automatically creates all the nessecary database fields. After that, you can instantiate the needed classes with HSL and also access the instantiated classes and nodes(groups of classes) done previously by the engine.
I can not compare it to any other programming language that I know(C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby) and once you learn it, you see that it is specifically tailored for problems encountered in HeroEngine.
It is not very complex language to learn by itself but the complexity comes from the framework the HE has set up, not very well documented and the wiki has somewhat wrong info so I haven't really pieced everything whats happening together after many dozens of hours of learning.
#4931034 Hero Engine?
Posted by HNikolas on 13 April 2012 - 01:41 PM
Ive been toying around with HeroEngine(using HeroCloud) for a bit now and I can say that it is extremely powerful, in addition to that, you can make MMO with it. You can literally make anything from FPS to RPG to online racer and so on, thats how flexible it is.
You still have to make all of your art and write all of the game logic by yourself, using HeroScript Language. The game manages all the connections, networking and so on in a way to not tie you down to using some game mechanic that you do not want.
You dont have to learn SQL or any other data managing language with HeroEngine. Everything is handled by engine itself and you can query the data using HSL.
I have to warn you, I have used many frameworks and engines in the past but HeroEngine is by far the most complex of them all. You literally learn something and by doing that you learn that you are only scratching the surface, but that is expected from a flexible engine that is made to the professionals.
Browse around in the wiki (http://hewiki.heroen.../wiki/Main_Page) and also register an account and request a server, theres nothing to loose.
#4931009 confused about a few things

#4860268 Looking for some "best practices" advice
Posted by HNikolas on 11 September 2011 - 02:30 AM
Other keywords to search for would be software design, software engineering, design patterns and so on, but be aware that these are even broader and more advanced topics(and require good OOP base).
#4860026 Suggested C# Books
Posted by HNikolas on 10 September 2011 - 10:17 AM
This is, in my opinion, one of the best books for starting this topic.
Sequel to this book could very well be some XNA book or Apess's Pro C# 2010 and the .NET Platform. Would not suggest the last one as a first pick since it is pretty hard to follow if you dont know the basics(and also 1700 pages so takes a while to get throught)
Any book that has good rating on Amazon.com is usually a good one, just make sure you get something that covers C# 4.0.
#4859175 Best way to learn the basics of Java?
Posted by HNikolas on 08 September 2011 - 01:19 PM
There are many books that cover the topic. Java for Dummies(432 pages) and Head first Java(688) are really good picks for beginner and easy to follow or if these do not suit you, you could pick something else.
When learning with book and if the book has examples, be sure to complete them. In addition, making up your own problems that apply the concepts you learned is a great way too.
#4859148 Python/Pygame Bullet
Posted by HNikolas on 08 September 2011 - 12:20 PM
When you get a spacebar event, you will instantiate the bullet class with all the relevand information, like the bullets cordinates(based on the character cordinates), moving direction, speed and so on.
You will have an array of these bullet objects and the game loop checks all the relevant things about them, like drawing cordinates, collision etc.
This is a very basic example and there are lots of ways where you can imrove it, but it will hopefully give you some ideas on implementing it.
In addition I would like to note that I have not done anything similar in Python or Pygame so there can very well be an easier way.
#4857273 Where do I start, if I want to make....
Posted by HNikolas on 03 September 2011 - 04:20 PM
I would suggest you to take a look into the .NET Framework in general since it has everything there.
Based on your post I can not really give you any more pointers without knowing more about the game. I did a little Googling on the titles you provided and it seems that the game would be a resource simulation in space that runs basically in the browser environment and has a 3D map where the player can interact. Is it true?

We had a really early dinner, around 5.30, and the restaurant was still quite empty and seemed rather dark, so we decided to sit outside. It was a really nice, sunny, but not too hot day.
After much indecision and mind changing, I settled on spinach and cheese filled ravioli with chilli prawn sauce (my usual favourite) and my friend picked fettucine carbonara, which the waiter said was the most popular dish. The food came really fast, within 10 minutes, but probably because we were the only customers at that point in time.
My ravioli was aaaamazing. They gave me a generous amount of prawns and portions were large too, but I guess for $26 you'd expect a fair serving. It was a bit too oily though.

Told me I had something a bit more serious than anxiety like DR MacDonald believed I had. Was given a pres for an anti depressant and guess what in a few days I felt 10 times better!

It all comes down to the living room. The titans of tech have traded punches on PCs and are gaining ground in mobile, but the ultimate battle will take place inside the TV.
And why not? The TV is really just a full-blown monitor. With so many people wrapping up their days by spending their leisure time consuming prime-time programming, it was just a matter of time before the quest for eyeballs came to the battle to end all battles in your living room.
So let's look at how the biggest players in tech are jockeying for position to be at the heart of your home's heart.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT )
The Xbox 360 isn't just about gaming, and that became apparent during last month's Xbox One media event, when the entire first half of the presentation was devoted to the new console's streaming and computing benefits. Game demos followed during the latter half of the reveal.
When the Xbox One hits the market in time for this year's holiday shopping season, buyers will be able to seamlessly shift from games to live TV to Internet Explorer.
Microsoft knows what it's doing. It was the first console maker to allow Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) subscribers to stream through its console. Netflix was a lot smaller at the time, and streaming video was largely a novelty. However, with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings sitting on Microsoft's board -- where he remained until stepping down last year -- no one has had to tell the software giant that Netflix is the leading source of bandwidth consumption during peak prime-time hours. Even without Hastings on the Microsoft board, Netflix will be a big part of the Xbox One experience.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL )
The world's leading online search provider fumbled Google TV with its launch three years ago.
Big G had best-of-class partners on the hardware end, but it failed to play nice with the programmers. Leading broadcasters and cable networks didn't buy in, and Google TV launched a Web-enabled platform where many of the more popular viewing options were blocked for Google TV viewing.
Third-party app developers showed reasonable support. Netflix was there, of course. However, Google's rush to launch a service before it was ready burned its hardware partners. Google TV lives on, but the only reason we can't write off the search star is the success of Android and YouTube. Google's open-source platform is the mobile operating system of choice in the smartphone space, and it's gaining ground in tablets. As far as YouTube goes, it's the top dog in video sharing.
So we can't dismiss Google, and later this year it will update the interface to run on its latest Android and Chrome platforms.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL )
The wild card here is Apple.
The Apple TV set-top box has gotten better with every generation, but it's still not the category killer that the consumer-tech leader has achieved with the iPod, iPad, and iPhone. Things can change with the long-rumored smart television, and CEO Tim Cook reiterated this past week that his company has "incredible interest" in this space. The only real question is whether we will be finally getting a full-blown premium HDTV this holiday shopping season.
There's plenty riding on this, especially if the Xbox One succeeds as a console that makes any TV a smart television. If so -- or if Google TV finally gains traction -- the appetite for a smart TV from Apple will diminish substantially. Apple knows its back is up against the wall, with margins on its existing products shrinking. Now it's merely a matter of beating the clock.
The tech battle will be televised
The next few months will be interesting, and couch potatoes will have the best seats in the house.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

In June of 1989 Paul McLeod, a newspaper publisher and recent widower, travels to Greece, where he falls for a young American artist and reflects on the complicated truth about his marriage. Six years later, again in June, Paul's death draws his three grown sons and their families back to their ancestral home. Fenno, the eldest, a wry, introspective gay man, narrates the events of this unforeseen reunion. Far from his straitlaced expatriate life as a bookseller in Greenwich Village, Fenno is stunned by a series of revelations that threaten his carefully crafted defenses. Four years farther on, in yet another June, a chance meeting on the Long Island shore brings Fenno together with Fern Olitsky, the artist who once captivated his father. Now pregnant, Fern must weigh her guilt about the past against her wishes for the future and decide what family means to her. In prose rich with compassion and wit, Three Junes paints a haunting portrait of love's redemptive powers.

This was posted on my page from a girl I went to high school with....She said. "I have struggled to understand this for a long time...A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God......Well said Ravi Zacharias..." How would YOU respond to this? Would you respond to this?
@Belle Rose - ALL religions teach women to submit -just one of the reasons they are all shite. It is where the women then sprout the same nonsense, and say it is thir idea. That is when it gets really scary.
A moral resistance - I started to watch a movie about the bible - and had to turn it off - it was where Samson was having his eyes gouged out - and christians talk about morals and ethics - give me a break. Just cherry pick the bible, the same way they do. I just refuse to follow such a venguful, viscious god.
I would respond that I don't get my sense of morality from a system promoting reward/punishment such as heaven/hell. I would also say that I do not submit to a dictator even if said dictator is celestial.
Tell her you are a follower of Deepak Chopra who says Ravi Zacharias is the love child of Satan and a Black Hole....or....don't waste what little life you have on idiots.
Get out and enjoy life, it's a blast. :)
Ask her why Jesus exists but Santa Clause doesn't. To be honest I'd rather believe in Santa than Jesus or god.
Same way I tell everybody to respond to religious retards: delete them. Why have these halfwit lunatics on your friends list anyway? It's like having an open pedophile who occasionally posts stuff like "Just bumfucked my 4yo niece, #bestdayever." You wouldn't come here for advice, you'd delete that creep. Same thing.
"I have struggled to understand this for a long time...A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence. A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God......Well said Ravi Zacharias..."How would YOU respond to this? Would you respond to this?
With the usual laughter. This Ravi Zacharias is telling atheists what we believe and why? There is nothing profound here to "struggle to understand". It's feeble, childish nonsense.
Zacharias has no legitimate response to demands for intellectual honesty and evidence for God. So he tosses them aside-- effectively denying they are required-- and delivers an illegitimate response instead. He projects a hallucinatory and circular 'denial of the need for God' (whatever that means) onto atheists, which contains the built-in premise that God is necessary (so never you mind that pesky evidence and intellectual honesty).
This is pretty routine stuff, Katie. File it under "denial" and "irrelevance and obfuscation" below.
Crackpot: God exists!
Me: Evidence, please.
Crackpot: There is none.
Me: I don't believe you.
That is why I am an atheist. That's all it is. The rest is just the crackpot employing some bit of dishonesty to obfuscate or deny it.
He'll shift the burden of evidence onto me. ("Prove God doesn't exist!").
He'll claim to have evidence when he does not. ("Lookee here! Purely abstract mathematics! That's evidence!").
He'll say he doesn't need evidence ("God is too big for evidence!")
He'll completely ignore the request for evidence and won't respond at all. (This is very popular.)
He'll restate the request for evidence as an accusation or insult. ("You hate God!" "How dare you question my faith!")
He'll respond with irrelevance and obfuscation. ("You refuse to admit your need for God!")
And on and on and on. Anything but evidence!
There is no case to be made about the existence of God. There is nothing to debate, nothing to consider: no evidence, no data, not a shred of the scientific whatsoever. The rest is just the outraged caterwauling of the crackpot, desperately insisting that any such "debate" over God exists at all.
This statement is confused.
"A man rejects God neither because of intellectual demands nor because of the scarcity of evidence." RZ is talking about the Creator God.
"A man rejects God because of a moral resistance that refuses to admit his need for God." "total confusion" This sentence is about God's love. God's love is a real thing. It is intimately bound up with morality. Some people are in no state to "face Jesus". They can't face the truth about themselves and have no integrity. So - this sentence can stand as given.
RE: "God's love is a real thing." - question, how can a real thing come from an unreal thing? Quantum mechanics can explain something from nothing, what's your explanation for real from nonexistant?
Here's a plan, let's run over to sub-Saharan Africa, and tell starving little children all about your god's love for the vultures that will soon consume them! Are you packed yet?
RE: "They can't face the truth about themselves and have no integrity." - What truth is that, Paynton? Don't be so cryptic, please share your profound insight with us.
Shouldn't you run on over to Christian Mingle, and leave this site for atheists and liberal theists like Barry Adamson? I'm sure you'd be much more comfortable with others of your kind, whatever that is.
"how can a real thing come from an unreal thing?" - this is a good question.
"What truth is that, Paynton?" - whatever the truth about themselves is, as the case may be.
"Don't be so cryptic, please share your profound insight with us." - cryptic for now.
Much ado about nothing.

Death Comes to Time was a five-episode webcast animated adventure featuring the Seventh Doctor. It was available via the BBCI website in 2001 to 2002. However, unlike the other webcasts starring classic series Doctors that premiered, it is considered non-canon to Doctor Who for depicting the ultimate death of the Doctor, negating the timeline that led into the TV movie. Also, the portrayal of the Time Lords in this story seems different to the one seen in the usual series, giving them the abilities to revoke TARDISes and release forbidden powers that disrupt the universe.
Before plans were announced to revive the series, an attempt was made to create a story that would act as the series finale for Doctor Who altogether. This ending would dovetail into a spin-off that would be the spiritual successor to Doctor Who, called The Minister of Chance. The would-be finale depicts the Doctor making a final sacrifice and an implied downfall of the Time Lord society. The Doctor's companion Ace also ends up on her own, solemnly telling Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart about the Doctor's demise. However, because the Doctor's body is never found, his final fate is unclear.
[show]Publisher's summary Edit
"Even Time Lords die..."
When a dissident Time Lord group inadvertently caused the destruction of an entire civilisation through interference, its members vowed to repent by serving the Universe not as gods of Time but as mere men. Many years later, this peaceful resolve is severely tested when two of their number are killed -- and the Doctor's seventh incarnation becomes embroiled in the struggle against the apparently unstoppable General Tannis.
Plagued by ominous portents, the Doctor and his companion Antimony must race across the Universe, taking in the Santine Republic, the Great Orion Nebula and the frozen heart of the Canisian Empire. Meanwhile, the mysterious Minister of Chance battles his own inner demons, and former TARDIS traveller Ace finds herself in training for a destiny she never dreamed possible. Matters reach a terrible climax when Tannis' next target for subjugation is identified. Exactly how much is the Doctor prepared to sacrifice in order to save Earth?

Story notes Edit
- Following the broadcast of Survival in 1989 and the show's subsequent placement on "indefinite hiatus" by the BBC, the idea of producing an animated series based upon Doctor Who and continuing the adventures of the Seventh Doctor and Ace was reported several times in the media; reportedly the Canadian animation house Nelvana was even interested at one point. This project never materialised, but the idea of producing animated Doctor Who adventures resurfaced with the coming of the Internet and the newly emerging format known as webcasting. Death Comes to Time was the first experiment of its kind; it would be followed soon after by Real Time (featuring the Sixth Doctor), Shada (featuring the Eighth Doctor) and culminating in Scream of the Shalka, which attempted to introduce a canonical new incarnation of the Doctor.
- A new Doctor Who logo was introduced for this story. Although it was never used again, the basic shape of the logo would be retained for the new logo designed for the return of the series in 2005.
- Voice actor Jon Culshaw is best known (in Doctor Who circles) for his uncanny impersonation of Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor in BBC's Dead Ringers radio and TV series. He was also famous for his impression of George W Bush in the same show, hence the President's appearance.
- The Minister of Chance was given his own spin off series in 2011 entitled The Minister of Chance. However this is generally considered non-canonical and is not covered by this wiki.
- It is left ambiguous as to what the Kingmaker is. However it is implied she is a being with greater powers than even the Time Lords. This is yet to be explored on screen or in spin-off media.
- The fate of the Doctor at the end of this story has been used by some factions of Doctor Who fandom [who?] [source needed] as a rationale to "de-canonise" the 1996 Doctor Who TV-movie and, in turn, the later 2005 TV series. However, Death Comes to Time -- or at least its ending -- is generally considered non-canonical. [by whom?] [source needed]
- This reality was one of the realities seen by the Eighth Doctor during the Anti-Time infestation of the TARDIS. (AUDIO: Zagreus)

Vista: Use Large Icons in the Quick Launch Toolbar
Posted August 15, 2008 by Rob Rogers in Microsoft Vista
The Quick Launch Toolbar is an area on the Taskbar for giving you quick access to your favorite apps. By default, it uses small icons which can be difficult to see, especially on computers that are set at a high resolution. Using large icons makes them easier to see and even more handy.
1. Right-click the Taskbar.
2. Make sure that Lock the Taskbar is not checked.
3. Right-click in an empty space in the Quick Launch Toolbar.
4. Mouseover View and select Large Icons from the flyout.
The Quick Launch Toolbar will now use the large icons and may need to be enlarged to display correctly. Once it is to your liking, you can right-click on the Taskbar and Lock the Taskbar.

Anyone used their grease ports on the new VP. I've tried to use the adapter that came with my frame on my grease gun and I can't get it to work. I can get grease to come out of the needle but I can't really get any to go into the zerk fittings. All that happens is it will leak out of the side of the adapter. I've tried unscrewing the end of the grease gun to let the adapter go further in but the same thing happens. Do I need a different adapter or thinner grease? Do I need a different adapter?
I'm sure that I don't need to grease yet but I would like to be able too when It does need it. Thanks guys.
