not quiet the same excuse here.. but i've now missed two or three in a row - missed the deadline for the symmetry challenge by about 9 months! did finish it though!

usually this is triggered by a hardware change, but once validated it shouldn't reoccur

Some great stuff being going on here!
I finally finished what would have been my entry for the Symmetry challenge a while back, and have just archived away my code base to refactor it all.
After a period of brainstorming/research/basic planning I am making a couple iOS/Windows store apps. They are partially heavy on the GL ES front, along with some other stuff They're not massively beyond what I've already done graphics wise. But learning from the previous issues I've had I'm throwing away the C only ideal, and going for a light smattering of C++. The other factor is, the debug builds and whole thing itself will optionally have a huge amount of logging/diags. I already have a read-only windows console window (see AllocConsole) showing my output auto positioning itself in the bottom left of the screen, or optionally auto sized full across the entire left hand side. This window also auto-shows hides shadowing the main gl window. Later plans for a full screen GL console for debugging purposes where the windows console isn't available. Console input there isn't critical now, but could be down the line.
I'm not going for full cross platform, just enough stuff to make the other platform specific parts minimal.
Plan. Get the prototype apps running on Desktop GL, get it running on a ANGLE project desktop build to iron out desktop GL vs GL ES differences then (basically the what webgl usesa). Then get that running on "Modern UI" (metro) version of ANGLE project as I have a cheap x86 tablet i picked up on black friday. I'll use that to get the usabilty with touch screens dialled in. After that, get it running in the iOS simulator (I have a VirtualBox VM running OSX) and once at that point this is definitely happening I'll allow myself to buy a Mac to finish it off and launch it on iOS, apps in both stores
Although i'm mainly a Windows dev, I've done a little iOS/objective-c dev at work, and am doing an android project in the near future.

C / C++ /C# / Re: [c++] Bug In 3d
« on: November 03, 2014 »
i tried it as well.. however didn't recompile.
the exe in the package was fine, and the main thing i noticed were the different colours from your screenshot?
the only thing i could see is that maybe you still don't quite get what was explained elsewhere about pointers to classes, but there isn't an issue with the way it was being done apart from a memory leak at the end of the function and a too large value being passed to the B component of an RGB macro.
is the only code you've changed within the main cpp file? i dont know from looking at the project what is yours, and what pre-existed in tinyptc

i've only just now found the time/inclination to sit back down coding again (schools are back, so the mrs is back at work..) and first thing on the list is to finish what i had started with this challenge. i guess i know theres little chance of more coding after this beyond mar/apr!

very cool... #11 broccoli is my fave
definitely not going to make it with an entry.. even pared down I hit a wall of zero time, good weather and more excuses...
I was going to reproduce (and possibly improve) a scene from this old demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLJPL5Nsqdk a personal favourite of mine.. scene in question is at 4:47.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLJPL5Nsqdk

think i found it, page 9 not page 6?
can barely read it.. but basically the guy has a big collection?
i guess most, if not all people here appreciate it, and with enough space/money its one of the things on my "evil villain lair" list of things to buy if i win the lotto
its not that expensive to pick up most old retro consoles here in the uk

just managed another hour or so.. got another smalll piece of progress done
getting less time than i thought, but i think i'm also off on hols the week or so before the deadline
a few of my best chances for coding days, sundays have been stolen by the mrs's mother moving hours

project created,
small amount of progress made (stuff was drawn)
ended up holding one of these up directly onto the screen, the first time i can ever remember doing it.
and the first time my 'helix' set has ever been used since i picked it up

It is indeed.. after that I found and read this book, a less heavy, but still engaging companion to the glieck book
(actually just realised it should have been down in my 'man cave' with the glieck book)
