Re: Problem calling free() from another function

should be grid = malloc(GRID_SIZE * sizeof(Grid*)); My bad :oops: So I'm still having trouble passing this Grid** in and out of functions. Remember a pointer-to-pointer is still passed by value: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void f0(char ** pp) { pp = malloc(3); } void f1(char *** pp) { *p...

Re: Problem calling free() from another function

grid should be just GRID_SIZE * sizeof(Grid) in size. You misunderstood how a 2d array is implemented using pointers to pointers. The "first level" pointer ( grid ) points to an array of pointers of size equal to the number of rows. Each pointer in this array ( grid ) points to another ar...

Re: Java Sucks

Worst thing is this prevents actual users from updating java on their computers (actual users being the ones that just give up when a computer tasks demands more than two steps).

Re: Reading Chess Position[SOLVED]

There are two things you have to pay attention to (taken from scanf(2)'s man page): scanf reads until it finds whitespace (space, newline, etc.). If a pattern is not matched, scanf stops reading the input. Say I have the following code: while(1) { int ret, i1, i2; scanf("%d %d", &i1, &...

Re: rss

Those articles were great! Altough I have a blog which I should be updating more often (don't we all?), so I know how tough it is to take the time to write something. Well, I just discovered you can make an rss feed from a subreddit , so I guess that'll make things better. If only I could find somet...

Re: So who is coming to visit?

Is that a Kickstarter reward? I though you did this to everyone who came to visit. But seriously, I would love to do that. If only I had enough time and money to go on such a trip (I'm from Norway). Same here (Brazil) :cry: edit : Why imagine when we have internet? map edit2 : Ok, I guess superLED ...

Re: rss

I think they have different purposes. Social networks are good for the "explosive" kind of marketing, but a rss feed is for the hardcore fans who never want to miss something from the project (much like the people on this forum). I'm no social network expert (on the contrary, I rarely use ...

rss

Hey guys. I noticed you broadcast news and other ES material on many platforms. However, some of us are old fashioned and still use rss as our main source of updates. I already subscribe to the blog rss (which haven't had much action lately), it would be nice to have a feed for the more frequent upd...

Re: Building a Desktop

Are you sure you didn't erase the whole disk at some point in the installation? The installer is very careful to warn you, but sometimes it's just a bad day ;) I've never had this problem with the ubuntu installer (or any linux installer). edit : anyway, it is better than the windows installer, whic...

Re: Neon GBA Lighting Engine

Surely that's not a bug. It's hardcore mode, where monsters have powerful illusions that make them invisible, twist your beams and displace the background. It also happens to be the only mode ;)

Oh yes, and an article that actually explains what is going on, instead of throwing phrases like "read all the memory from the server" around:
