Which Languages do you know and use?

Clyde · January 06, 2007

Thanks, It's great you've told us about languages that you use. But would you like to see an area in the code section on them?

Also, anyone looking into / using Cobra?

Shockwave · January 06, 2007

Cobra especially... But it aint looking too good at the moment.
Anybody trying the Cobra demo out?

french and dutch...

ok, ok, I go out

imo we could use a delphi section, for newbs such as myself trying to get more familiar with it

Shockwave · January 07, 2007

The thing with new sections, I think that all the admin team would be happy to add them, howeer we need to have some experts or people who are at least pretty good at the language so that help can be offered when asked for. Delphi would be cool if there was someone to keep an eye on the board.

mind · January 07, 2007

well i have a decent knowledge of delphi, but im still learning.. i am able to code pascal in my sleep though

basically same language except for the RAD.. and i want a delphi board.. so i guess i'll sign up for modding it, if noone else wants to do it..

Shockwave · January 07, 2007

Thanks Mind

Will sort out the Delphi forum in the next couple of days, thanks for offering to look after it, it'll be your baby

I've done some Borland Object Pascal 7 which is the pre-cursor to Delphi. So maybe I'll recognise something.

sounds good.. maybe it'll keep me from continuing to spam the forums with tools.. lol.. or maybe you WANT me to keep spamming.. hehe.. anyways, i'd be honored to become an admin or mod or whatever system you use on these boards..

i was always under the impression that "pascal" sucked, since i was used to the tp environment(and trust me, 16bits suck!!) but when i got started with delphi i realized that it is as potent(or almost atleast) as any other high level language.. porting some of my tp effects to delphi(with PTC) netted me an increase in fps close to 3-400 percent, so it's powerful indeed..

anyways, im rambling.. time to go to bed and sober up.. sorry, no new tool tonight

When I first came here ... I was thinking about asking for a purebasic section.
But it seems like most of the users here who prefer to code in a basic dialect
use FreeBasic - so maybe an additional basic forum wouldnt be useful.
If there is a need for a purebasic board I could help answering questions there
of course.

I also could help about general Java programming questions. Although I didnt
do a lot of multimedia stuff with Java atm. I do business applications with Java
mainly here at my job. But I plan to do some applets and more J2ME coding
in future...

All in all I think some more programming (languages) related boards would be
interesting ...

Shockwave · January 08, 2007

As long as we have support adding boards is not a problem, we're happy to do that

We can add forums and assign moderators to look after those areas of the board and attract new members to them, this will grow the board and a rising tide rises all ships as they say.

What we don't want is a lot of dead boards, but having said that, adding boards and then releasing a product in that language into it's community is a tactic that we've used to build this board up.

Purebasic does have quite a following, I even have PB on the computer upstairs myself.

I think a lot of people use FB here because it's free.

benny! · January 08, 2007

So, if there is really some interest in Java / Purebasic I am of course helping
where I can to keep this boards as busy as I can. Maybe some others could
drop a thought about it.

Shockwave · January 08, 2007

I am definately interested in PB and Java Benny. Other's thoughts would be really nice.

benny! · January 08, 2007

If someone never heard of purebasic - here are some productions written in purebasic ( not coded
by me ).

"this is art" by :t:raumatic ( http://files.connection-refused.org/ThisIsArt/thisisart.zip )
uses a lot of directx

"reflectionStencil" by Cpl.Bator ( http://purebasic.myftp.org/?filename=files/204/ReflectionStencil.rar )
opengl fx

various games by bgames ( http://www.bgames.org/jeuxEN.html )

"vectorballs" by Epyx ( http://www.flasharts.de/files/LiLdemo.zip )

Shockwave · January 08, 2007

Call me old fashioned but I liked the vectorbobs demo a lot more than the first one

Although both were very good. The GL one was strange, the window seemed corrupted for a few seconds and then it was fine.

All ran smooth.

Interesting that the first one "this is art" is less than 64kb with music and bitmaps and everything.

benny! · January 08, 2007

@Shockwave:

Yup. Oldschool rules ... although I really did like the "this is art" demo including
the soundtrack.

@topic:

I definately would like to see a java section, too. Maybe just one which covers
all kind of languages with Java in its name ;-) ... like J2SE, J2EE, J2ME and Java-
script...
Or would childforums be useful

Guess that would be too many ?!

What do you think guys ?

(Guess combatKing would like to see a JavaScript section here, eh

)

Clyde · January 08, 2007
