Re: Avatar: Go see it

It was a really good movie, and I was reminded of the play "Custer's Last Stand" and the movie "Dances With Wolves" time and time again.

Agree with ALL points by hurstshifter, especially about being predictable. Overall, I would recommend seeing it :)

Re: What is the point of programming?

I program because, when I achieve the finished product, I feel like a badass. It is uplifting when you run the 2D platformer that you spent so much time trying to get up and running, and it finally does. The best phrase to describe a program when you're finished is: "THAT IS SO BITCHIN!"

Re: Learning C++ as a first language

It all depends on the person. I started learning C++ as a first language and I didn't feel I was getting anywhere, but as soon as I switched to Blitz3D, I understood a lot more. I leaped ahead learning concepts instead of trying to focus on learning the syntax. Visual C++ wasn't letting me grasp sim...

Re: Begineer projects.

What you just said went WAYYYYYYY over my head, Gyro. I have only been learning to program for a little over a month. I am a total noob and not afraid to admit it :mrgreen: I just tried to take my program to quadratics but it was too complicated. I hadn't realized that I was programming in C and I h...

Re: Begineer projects.

I was thinking of making a program that would solve quadratic equations. I made a program that would take the two co-ordinates you entered and give you the slope, Point Slope equation, Standard Form equation, and General Form. It was fun to do. Now that you suggest quadratics, I'm thinking about ext...

Re: Begineer projects.

I'm in the same dilemma as you,Rhys. I don't know how to put the knowledge that I have absorbed to use. I want to be able to SEE the progress I have made. :/
Suggestion on simple projects would be appreciated :)

Re: Programming books?

I just finished: "Crash Course in C" -by Paul J. Perry. It was a little monotonous but it was very informative. I just bought "Whose Afraid of C++" -by Steve Heller for $5 on amazon. It is extremely easy to grasp and very well written. I recommend it for beginning programmers, bu...

Well I guess that'd completely work if you never put in the coordinates for a vertical line... Then division by 0 :shock: Shit, forgot about that... #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { float fltcoordx1; printf("Enter x1: \n"); scanf("%f", &fltcoordx1); float fl...

Re: My first program from scratch(calculator)

I have revised my program with a few more lines of code. Now you can enter the coordinates and it will give you the answer in slope intercept form, instead of only giving you the slope :mrgreen: #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { float fltcoordx1; printf("Enter x1: \n"); sca...
