Shokie ! Jim ! Spitfire ! Benny !
i DO am really really happy to read your answers ! ( I have a big smile stucked on the face right now xD )
Shockie : Thanks ! It goes pretty well ! I didn't imagine how stressful and time-consumming it can be but hey, I won't complain, I just hated my old job so that's just positive stuff !
I guess that you don't have much call to write 3D engines for people for their sites.
Well .. You're right
But I still have graphic coding in mind even if I have no time to experiment a lot. In fact I started to learn perl to have different ways to code web stuff, I learned a lot in pseudo object-oriented programming with php (all that started with ... freebasic
) but now, I'm looking for some language I could use on my spare time to code gfx stuff (like 3D engines
).
C/C++ ? Gosh, I just don't want to use sdl or open gl, that's so funny to iterate *directly* through screen buffer
Freebasic ? Well, of course
But I'd like to see some new stuff.
Java ? hum .. Don't know why, i'm not very sold on learning java.
Prototyping with javascript and canvas element (yep you red well
)=> It's obviously impossible to do big gfx pixel-per-pixel with this but it's funny
I coded a scanline renderer for some fractal stuff on a canvas. It works well
but it's .. SLOOOOOOW
Anyway, I just noticed I sidetracked like hell
Can't remember removing the stray pixels from my avatar to be honest with you but if you say they are gone I believe you, the forum is really quiet these days and that's my fault.. I should be around here more but I've been distracted more and more by other things around me, my job, my son and other stuff. No excuse really and I ought to do more
Well I remember your avatar had some pixels laying outside the skull (and on the limit between the skull and .. outside the skull
). But maybe that was my navigator
I guess with life going, it's more and more difficult to have time. You .. You have a son ?! Dude I didn't even know !! Is he really young or is it an information I didn't get on the great period I called my dbf/fb times ?
Jim : Thanks !

I know the feeling, I barely have time to wash my clothes. We are doing cool demo-scene like stuff in my computer vision course though. Computer vision is like the inverse of computer graphics. You start with an image or video, and you have to figure out whats in it. Its not quite spinning cubes or metaballs, but theres alot of image filtering and warping. If youve heard of augmented reality, it uses this.
Excellent ! That must be absolutely fascinating ! Maybe you will be the developper of the future of robotic vision algorithms
Also, augmented reality is really nice, I saw on internet an indian researcher who invented the future of computing
It's almost the same as augmented reality but .. inversed
A projector puts images on surfaces laying around you and a camera gets anything you do with those images so there is a real interaction between you, your computer and your environnement (Like a sheet of blank paper : it detects it's a sheet of paper, you can write on that sheet and the software gets what you wrote depending, by example , on what you wrote in the header of the sheet (is it a letter ? Instructions ? a list of stuff to do or to buy ?) )
Maybe you already saw that (I was totally amazed by this concept), the name of it is SixthSense, here are some videos :

I just started working directly. I learned what I needed to know about coding with "offline" programming, and about web coding and standards with an online invoicing application I coded for a friend. I'm right now learning about the
MVC paradigm on the way (not easy to get it at the beginning
)
Did you ever post code for that mercury effect?
Didn't I posted it with the submission ? Oh gosh maybe I forgot :/ Sorry about that. I posted the code on my blog, here is the adress of the article :

Benny :
great to read that everything runs fine for you and it is really cool to see that ppl
come back here - even if they are not active in demoscene coding anymore. This
proves how cool this place is - even if it seems that it gets quieter and quieter.
This place is absolutely fabulous
I can't imagine working where I work today without the help and kindness of people here.
I won't lie, I have no time to read and participate actively to the board, but I'd love to post again some gfx stuff here when I'll have some things to show.
Thanks again for your kind answers buddies !
