Ok, first off, PLEASE don't give me another routine (I am aware that Weregoose (I believe) has a super-optimized base converter algorithm), I just want to see if the one I'm trying will work.
Now, in theory (or at least through my way of thinking), this routine should work, but I get an error for anything other than hexadecimal. Here's all of the code for it:
While D>0 sub(Str2,L(fPart(D/L))+1,1)+Str1→Str1 iPart(D/L→D End
Disp Str1 However, I keep getting errors during the first run-through on the sub command. I've manually checked all the variables' values (using 50 as my test value) and the very first letter should be G, but I keep getting a domain error with the cursor scrolling to the closing parenthesis of the sub command.
I'm writing a game in XNA 4.0 (my first huge computer game for both XNA and C#), and one of the things I wanted to do for the main menu was add a snow effect because the game is called Tundra and a tundra is a cold and snowy place and, well, I think you get the idea. I thought it looked pretty cool when it was done, and figured maybe the function I created could be used for something else by somebody else, so here it is!
First, for ease, what I did was create two public properties to be equal to the width and height of the game window. Basically, it looked like this:
//There's more code in here, just not needed for this tutorial } Just try to remember to not assign to h or w
After that, I made some variables all dealing with the snow. I made them private because I'm more than likely not going to use them specifically outside of my method to draw the snow, but you can feel free to make them public.
private Point[] snow = new Point[225]; //You can increase/decrease this number depending on the density you want private bool isSnowing = false; //I only set this to true (so far) in the main menu private Texture2D snowTexture; //Our texture for each snow particle. I'll attach mine, though it's very simple private Point quitPoint; //The point at which we need to recycle the snow particle private Point startPoint; //The point where the snow particle gets recycled to private Random random; //Will be used for generating new random numbers For quitPoint and startPoint, we'll only be using their Y-coordinate.
Now, go to the LoadContent method. Here we'll load the snow's texture as well as the quit and start points. If you do these points in Initialize, you'll get a NullReference error because XNA calls LoadContent after Initialize (in case you didn't know).
protected override void LoadContent() { //Load our texture. I placed it in a folder called "Textures," if you don't put it in any folder, don't use "Textures\\" //or if you use a different folder, replaces Textures with its name. this.snowTexture = this.Content.Load<Texture2D>("Textures\\snow");
//Set the snow's quit point. It's the bottom of the screen plus the texture's height so it looks like the snow goes completely off screen this.quitPoint = new Point(0, this.Height + this.snowTexture.Height);
//Set the snow's start point. It's the top of the screen minus the texture's height so it looks like it comes from somewhere, rather than appearing this.startPoint = new Point(0, 0 - this.snowTexture.Height); }
If you want to be exactly like me, somewhere in your code, make a method called DrawSnow that doesn't take any parameters. We'll come back to that in a second. Head on over to your draw function and call DrawSnow between where you begin and end the sprite batch. Also, change the clear color from CornFlowerBlue to White.
public void DrawSnow() { //If it's not supposed to be snowing, exit if (!isSnowing) return;
//This will be used as the index within our snow array int i;
//NOTE: The following conditional is not exactly the best "initializer." //If snow has not been initialized if (this.snow[0] == new Point(0, 0)) { //Make the random a new random this.random = new Random();
//For every snow particle within our snow array, for (i = 0; i < this.snow.Length; i++) //Give it a new, random x and y. This will give the illusion that it was already snowing //and won't cluster the particles this.snow[i] = new Point( (random.Next(0, (this.Width - this.snowTexture.Width))), (random.Next(0, (this.Height)))); }
//Make the random a new random (again, if just starting) this.random = new Random();
//Go back to the beginning of the snow array i = 0;
//Begin displaying the snow foreach (Point snowPnt in this.snow) { //Get the exact rectangle for the snow particle Rectangle snowParticle = new Rectangle( snowPnt.X, snowPnt.Y, this.snowTexture.Width, this.snowTexture.Height);
//Draw the snow particle (change white if you want any kind of tinting) this.spriteBatch.Draw(this.snowTexture, snowParticle, Color.White);
//Make the current particle go down, but randomize it for a staggering snow this.snow[i].Y += random.Next(0, 5);
//Make sure the point's location is not below quit point's if (this.snow[i].Y >= this.quitPoint.Y) //If it is, give it a random X value, and the starting point variable's Y value this.snow[i] = new Point( (random.Next(0, (this.Width - this.snowTexture.Width))), this.startPoint.Y);
//Increment our position in the array ("go to the next snow particle") i++; } }
Voila! You now have snow in your program! If you need something explained more, feel free to ask. If you have imporvements, say so and I'll add them. If you want to use this somewhere (not necessarily in C#/XNA), feel free to go ahead and do so! In this, I only change the Y position of the snow particles. If you want to do something with the X to make it more realistic, go right ahead.
I've attached a gif of what it looks like in Tundra but thanks for your time
P.S. - If this is in the wrong category, please move it to the appropriate one. I've had problems with that in the past lol
I've downloaded and "installed" the JDK 1.6 update 27 at least 3 times now, but the Android SDK isn't recognizing that I've installed it for some reason. When I get the version from the command prompt it only shows that I have the JRE installed (the correct version), but idk if it shows anything for the JDK.
So I'm not really a great fan of the gothic subgenre myself (I'm more into the deathcore/metalcore stuff if you look at my sig), but evidently I felt something click with this band (probably the vocals). I didn't remember I had them until just now whilst cleaning out my 3,000-some songs library.

In case you haven't looked (or even glanced) at my signature, I'm writing an OOPL called Zenon. (In case you don't know what that means, it stands for Object-Oriented Programming Language.)
My only problem is: I'm terrible at coming up with syntax because I have no creativity The syntax I have right now looks cool, but it's impractical. It requires more unnecessary typing than I'd like.
This language will be .NET-based, so anything you can do in C# or VB, you'll be able to do in this. This includes designing forms, creating console-based applications, and probably libraries (.dll's) for use with other, non-Zenon programs. My request to you, the Omnimaga community, is to help construct a syntax for this language.
I guess the only thing I want you to keep in mind when suggesting syntax and whatnot is to try to make it fun to write in. Something you'd like to make a program or two with. The language can be simple, complex, or moderate, it can be completely original or it can combine elements of other languages together. But please, this will not be an esoteric language
Syntax last updated: 4:24pm EST (GMT-5) on 19 Aug 2011. Change with block comments and methods, etc.!!
Spoiler For Current syntax:
* - Indicates a change + - Indicates an addition # - Indicates a removal Since last edit, that is. -- As in many languages, a semi-colon will mark the end-of-line. -- Strings will be like every other programming language; beginning and ending with a (double) quote. -- *Block comments will be [[ comment ]], single line comments will be "//comment" -- Modifiers are the same as any .NET language. These include "public," "private," "sealed," and "abstract". However, "public" will be "global," "private" will be "internal," "sealed" will be "closed," and "abstract" will be "open". -- Threads will be a built-in type for easier access. (yay) -- #Moved arrays and matrices so they have their own mini-topic -- Instead of using "." to access the methods of a variable, the colon (":") will be used. I.e. instead of "<var>.<method>;", it will be "<var>:<method>;" -- Accessing the current application/class will be "current" instead of "this" or "Me". -- Inheritance will be implemented. -- "parent" will be used instead of "base" (like in C# or <insert other language that uses "base">) or "super" (like Java). -- "break" (from C#, not sure on its equivalent in Java, etc.) will be "exit" -- "quit" will be a general command to exit the program, unless in an infinite loop . -- +Preprocessor directives will only be in the main file and will be denoted by '@'.
VARIABLES Will be defined by "<type> <name> [= <value>];" -Here is a list of current types (layout is "<type> : <declaration name> : <default value>") -string : str : "" -integer : int : 0 -boolean : bool : false -byte : byte : 00
CONDITIONALS Will be accessed by "if (<condition>) { <code> } elseif (<condition>) { <code> } else { <code> }" You will also have the ability to use switch/case statements that will be used in a similar fashion.
METHODS / FUNCTIONS Methods, since they don't return anything, are sub-procedures and therefore will be accessed by "<modifiers> sub <method name> ([<arguments>]) { <code> }" Functions will be similar, replacing "sub" with their return type. "<modifiers> <type> <function name> ([<arguments>]) { <code> return <type>; }"
LOOPS Will support 4 types of loops: -While "do { <code to be executed until condition is false> } while (<condition>);" -Until "do { <code to be executed until condition is true> } until (<condition>);" ---Both of the above loops can have the "test" (the "while" or "until" part) either before "do", or after the closing brackets like in the example. -For "for (<int>[ = beginning], <end>[, increment]) { <code> }" -For Each "foreach (<type> <var> in <collection [of type]>) { <code> }" Thanks to calcdude for the idea of testing before and after.
CLASSES Will be implemented in the same way that most languages (at least the ones I know) implement them. "<class name> <class var name> = new <class name>;"
ENUMS An enum, in case you don't know what it is, is basically a group of numbers. However, in Zenon, they can be a group of anything. (If that can't be done, then a new group type will be added called Group) -Declared: "<modifiers> enum <name> { <name> = <number>, <name2> = <number>, etc. }" -Accessed: "<enum> <var name> = <enum>:<enum child>;"
+ARRAYS/MATRICES As an example, here are declarations of a string array, matrix, and collections that have more that 2 dimensions: -Array: str# hello = new str#[0][1][2]; -Matrix: str# hello = new str#[[0][1][2],[3][4][5]]; -Multi: str# hello = new str#[[0][1][2],[3][4][5],[6][7][8]]; Or, for non-specific declarations, one can do -Array: str# inf = new str#[]; -Matrix: str# inf = new str#[,]; -Multi: str# inf = new str#[,,];
I'm working on an IDE and the first thing I want to tackle/complete is the text editor. Right now I'm working on the syntax highlighting part of it. Strings highlight perfectly, and so do keywords. However, the part where it un-highlights keywords that have been partially deleted seems to not want to cooperate.
Here's my code, for anyone who thinks they can help, or just wants to take a peek at it (I comment a lot, so it should be fairly easy to understand)
//Initiate vars string[] lines = this.Lines; int pos = 0; int cpos = this.SelectionStart; int line = this.GetLineFromCharIndex(cpos);
//Let's see if there are even any keywords in the line. //If not, we'll exit bool cont = false; foreach (string kw in rsrvdWrds) if (lines[line].Contains(kw)) cont = true;
//If the current line doesn't contain any words, if (!cont) return; //Exit
//Get the exact beginning char index of the line for (int i = 0; i < line; i++) //+1 because of \n pos += lines[i].Length + 1;
//Now pos is the index of the first char on the current line //Reset line colors (THESE ARE THE FOUR LINES THAT *SHOULD* RESET THE LINE COLOR) this.SelectionStart = pos; //Go to beginning of line this.SelectionLength = lines[line].Length; //Select the line this.SelectionColor = Color.Black; //Turn it black this.SelectionLength = 0; //Deselect the line
//For each match of keyword in the current line foreach (Match kw in reservedWords.Matches(lines[line])) {
//Highlight any strings that might be in the line's string this.HighlightString(line);
//Resume current position this.SelectionLength = 0; this.SelectionStart = cpos; this.SelectionColor = Color.Black; Oh, by the way, this is an extended control. By that, I mean it's a control that inherits from the RichTextBox. That's why it says "this" instead of "rtbCode" or something like that.
Which type of cell phone do you use? I.e., Windows Phone, Droid, iPhone, Blackberry, other, etc.
I mainly want to know to see how many Windows Phone users there are on here. This can help for anyone who develops for it, so we can help each other debug and whatnot (same for Droid, iPhone, etc.). I'm looking into learning XNA so I can make a game for Windows Phone (7), because I'm hopefully getting one soon

Hello everyone! Even if you're not reading this, hello!
I'm BlakPilar, in case you didn't know that. However, this little forum post is for you! Yes, you! Not that chick down the hall, or that dude on the other side of the room- you. I'm working on a project called TBEXE (+1 if you can guess what it is without reading on.) It will allow anyone who decides to try it out to take their boring, old, bland .8xp programs and turn them into full-fledged executable programs for use on any Windows machine! With full access to color and processor speed! Yay!
Right now TBEXE is still very much in its infancy, which is the perfect time for me to be doing this kind of poll. I want you to ask yourself and anyone else who you think might download and/or use TBEXE when it is released what you would want in it. I want your ideas because I want to make this a lasting program that many people will use. Heck, if enough people want it, I'll draw a purple dinosaur and throw that in there. TBEXE is a program made by me, for you.
I have some obvious, common features planned, such as syntax highlighting, auto-complete/intellisense, code snippets, a WinForms designer (like the one in Visual Studio), plugin support, and possibly theme support. I have little to no creativity in my mind and I can't really think of any other features besides those aforementioned. Oh, of course you can also import and export as a .8xp, but some command syntax will be changed, not all commands will be supported when exporting to .exe, and some commands/functionality will be added.
So um... Yeah. Gimme suggestions
--EDIT-- If you still don't understand what this is, here's a simple explanation: I take your calculator-only .8xp programs and turn them into fully-functional .exe programs so you can use your calculator programs on the computer WITHOUT the need of an emulator. With the resulting executable file, you will be able to do everything with a normal computer program that the calculator can do with a calculator program. See EDIT3 if you're still confused.
--EDIT2-- TBEXE will be completely open-source! I'll be hosting it on Codeplex (and maybe here if I get the privilege >.>) as soon as it's ready for Alpha testing.
--EDIT3-- TBEXE will only support BASIC .8XPs. If you try to open an ASM compiled program, you'll get the same result as if you tried editing the same program on-calc after unlocking it using MirageOS or something similar. Because of the plugin support, if someone wants to write a plugin to handle decompiling of those ASM programs, go right ahead.
I probably left some stuff out (I wrote EDIT3 quickly from my Zune HD), so if I did, just ask me and I'll get to you. Also, don't forget to give me suggestions! Thanks!
