General chat / Proposal: Colouration for code ?

« on: May 21, 2011 »

Hello,

As we are a coder forum, why our code in the [ code ] [ /code ] is not syntaxicly coloured ?
It would be cool if it could be added. I hope it's not too much work on this architecture ... ... moreover since we are handling multiple langages.

Code: [Select]

int main()
{

    printf("This is a test\n");
    return 0;
}

General coding questions / First experiences with D programming langage

« on: March 19, 2011 »

You can breath calmly this is not a question.

(Since I didn't know where to post it (not section for D) I will post here at the moment. Anyway, maybe it will be the only message on D in the whole forum.

So ... you already know that I will talk on D.
This is not a so new programming language like Go (the google's programming language).
D has been created by Digital Mars (sounds delicious  ), released as first stable version in 1.0
Now we are looking to the version 2.0 including new features (of course  ) 

Some random documentation:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_%28programming_language%29

Now ... going in the deepness of the thing.
The first good new:

It has a Garbage Collector Yeah \ o /
It wants to remove pointers and copy by reference by defaults ... but allow to use pointers (if you want to crash everything )
Documentation is shipped in the language (no need of additional doxygen)
Asserts too
Unit test too \ o /
C libraries can be used in D 

Now I will stop to say what you could know by reading the wikipedia. Really, I am not good at this language yet, but it's easy to write it. It looks like an improved C++ No headers, you have array with extended functionalities (and this without extended std lib) (but there is some if needed (Tango)). Some kind of hash map (called for the case associative array) are also shipped .

Some problems also exists. Actually I am under GNU/Linux. Fine, there are compilers Great there is a GCC port for D. Even if this one is not completely supporting it it works pretty well (since I am doing basic stuff). I still have some problem to debug it with gdb
Otherwise they are proposiing their own compiler. Also working on Windows

I have started a silly D OpenGL program. We can do demo in D and I know already one -> http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=53942

The OpenGL wrapper is called Derelict (also SDL / OpenAL / GLU / and many others) -> http://svn.dsource.org/projects/derelict/trunk/docs/index.html

So what to say about my experience with it ... hum ... nothing. I am still continuing to learn it. It looks really simpler that C++ (if you know C++ and the problems). Templates and operator overloading are allowed too and not too hard (better syntax that in C++)

THere is one major problem ... the documentation. Since the language is not massively used ... tutorials are few. And try to type just 'D' in google ... not giving you good answers (Better with 'D programming language' ... I think.

ANd that's all for now. Don't hesitate to ask.

Oh ... really great news ... OpenGL is really nicely supported in the wrapper and extensions easier to use than in C with GLEW

General chat / Breakpoint 2010

« on: February 14, 2010 »

Hello,

As usual announcement ( although all of us already know it ): http://breakpoint.untergrund.net/index.php

( I am going there, more than sure ( booked flights )

My question is:

In the shuttle list ( breakpoint website ), we are all taking the same flight:
TCE/HF
ant1   
Hikey
LittleWhite/adinpsz

Ant1, is on this forum, isn't it?
Maybe also Hikey, and TCE. Can we meet us at the Stansted airport ( or maybe before, before it's not so easy to go there by train :s ).

Please answer.

Otherwise, if other are interested, come at the party.

Projects / Framework V7.0 Beta Testing -> OMG It's rotating

« on: September 09, 2009 »

Hello,

I need your time.

I have built a kind of crappy framework, but during the Magnification competition this one doesn't work well.

Here a new version, but I am not sure that this will be better.
Can you test it, and send me back the file trace.log created by the framework. You can open the trace.log and check if confidential information will go out

There is a version for windows and also one for linux. I need only one check for the linux version.
On windows if the program doesn't work, can you try to update the driver ( O_o -> OpenGL implementation ).

Thank you

C / C++ /C# / [C] Dynamic Constant Trick

« on: July 26, 2009 »

Hello coders o/

I am a bit embarrassed about a little article in the Hugi #31.

This is the article on a way to "break" the const keyword with windows specific functions.
I wanted to try the trick mentioned by shadez, but when I tried to compile, VS2005 (and also 2008) do not recognise the function.

You can see the article here: http://www.hugi.scene.org/online/hugi31/hugi%2031%20-%20coding%20corner%20shadez%20dynamic%20constants.htm

Some things amazed me, for example, the functions mentioned are unknown from Google but also from the MSDN.
Other point, why this kind a code will be findable into the multimedia library of Windows :s
and finally, this code will be able to break the const keyword...

So, if someone know how to run the code, I will be very happy.
( If someone can tell me that was a joke, I will be also very happy )

Thank you

Challenges & Competitions / [MAGNIFICATION] Molecules by LittleWhite

« on: July 25, 2009 »

Here this is my little contribution \o/

Normally, all dlls are in the package ( at least for the windows users )
For Linux, you have to install glew and freeglut ( sorry about that ).

I am also sorry to not provide a video, because I am using shaders but normally you won't have any problem.

I think I have nothing more to say, if you want more information see the .nfo
