You guys program?

[QreepyBORIS]

It is. The libraries have different names, I think. And you never, ever use printf. It's all about console for basic programming.

Most of it is the same, though.

goodies,
yeah I noticed that <stdio.h> changed to <iostream.h> but thats no big deal

That's good to know, C++ shouldn't be that hard to pick up, I understand classes, and C-syntax so woohoo

[soccr743]

C++ is just a enhancement to C really. It also adds a bit more overhead to programs... But it is worth it for OOP.

I'm aiming for a Master's in CS based on Java.

Been programming in Java for 4 years now. My pride and joy (the only program I have ever kept that I was forced to make) is a base convertor. Nothing much, obviously. That isn't to say I haven't done anything harder than that, because I have. I think the last project I had to do was to figure out how to manage a train station that needed to shift the positions of traincars in the most efficient manner for any circumstance. Boy do I wish I made that one a little better so I could share it with you all. The basic concept was to order them numerically in such a way that the highest value (caboose) goes in first so the lowest value (engine car) can be in front. You gave the program an order the cars were in already and entered a number to represent how many holding tracks you think would make it work. Functioning or not, it told you so and told you how many is the minimum possible. If you have it set to tell you the steps taken, it outputs every step the traincars move around in. Pretty fun stuff. I wish I had made it visual.

Flash...not so much. I can do simple stuff and things that require Action code, but going much further than that makes things harder for me. Best I have made is on my DeviantArt page. It's a Space Invaders game using Kirby.

I got through week two of a book called "learn c++ in three weeks!" and I'm pretty sure the only program I wrote in C++ (mind you this was in ninth grade) was one that solved simple x and y systems.

and I know how to program on my TI 86 which is fairly worthless... but I have made a game where you move a circle around on a screen to collect astericks (which give you fifty points) with a time limit of 100 cycles of the program. the astericks appeared in random places after you collected one, but never on top of you. I also tried to make one with a boss guy that chased you around as you collected the astericks but it turned out that that made my calc cry and everything ran hella slow.

Yeah, I'm taking AP CS is school and all I can do is equations and a neat little Pig Latin translator. ROFL

I remember doing that program, it sucked.

Hey, it was funny putting in my name and it comes out, Chromelay.

[esupin]

I am also taking AP CS. Right now I am working on a magic square calculator. It would have taken alot less time if the teacher hadn't given us wrong test data.

[Chromer]

hA! N00b. Also I have a question. If all the classes for a Graphical type class come out to be like javax.swing, wouldn't that mean prompts like OptionPane are Object based?

[chickendude]

I just got a C++ book at my library's book sale (yay once a year) for an ultra cheap 5 bucks <_<

its this huge book, so I guess I can keep myself busy
and I can consult this forum for help
woohoo <_<

I'm fair at many sorts of BASIC, and have programmed my computer, a robot, and my Ti 83 plus calc in variations of BASIC. I did it on my computer years ago, and never got past maybe a 2 or 3 in expertise, the robot maybe a 4, and on my calculator i might be a 9 with it, except for the more complex utilization of matrices, which I haven't learned the use of. Though, I know an uber-nerd who programmed chess on his calculator using only BASIC. That was some crazy sh!t.

[chickendude]

holy crap, thats intense <_<

cin and cout are different. In fact a lot of syntax is different. It won't be a problem adapting though, since all the logic is about the same.

Anyone here have a good link to a sie to learn assembly? We all know all the decent calculator games are in assembly.
