If C/++ then you should maybe look into xcode. Its much nicer, and I believe there are templates.
good god, they ported SDL to java?, thats a bigger waste of time than trying to beat ninja gaiden on NES.
Oh yeah? So what constructive things do you do with your time?

Re: Making the team development process easier.

Id also like to add a few things, well 2 for now, that you might want to look into regarding git , its a bit more advanced and some teams, especially really small ones (1-3 people) might not need or benefit from it. ' git cherry-pick ' is awesome especially when you merge branches where the code bas...

Making the team development process easier.

Working teams has always been a challenge in some form or another. While there can't be much done on a technical level for the clashing of heads, there are some things you can do to make some of the logistical aspects go by easier. Here are some of the things I have done at work to make life easier....

Re: Clash of the IDE's

Well damn. Okay, avansc's method DOES work. Even though the other project doesn't show up as a dependency and cannot be set explicitly as a dependency, "it just is" when you link against its product. Well, regardless of our differing opinions in the IDE wars, avansc has ultimately bettere...

Re: Clash of the IDE's

I use VS2010, QTCreator, and XCode on a daily basis. VS2010 has my vote as the most streamlined, professional, and powerful. You think VS2010 is buggy? XCode 4 crashes at least twice a day for me. QTCreator is my IDE of choice for multiplatform development. It's what Code::Blocks and DevCpp WANTED ...

Re: Clash of the IDE's

Interesting... I LOVE the Solution/Project approach in VS2010. As a matter of fact, I just spent HOURS last night trying to emulate something like a solution with multiple projects dependent on one another last night in XCode4... which failed? :mrgreen: It worked, but it's fuck-ugly. I have a "...

Windows 8 server is faaaar more impressive. If they pull up off what they wanna do with any modicum of quality they will launch them selves into the main contenders for the cloud market.

Re: 64 bit Systems

also take note of how you lay out structures, specially if they have pointers in them, you can end up wasting a lot of space. not that it really matters. but if you were curious.

Re: Steve Jobs resigns; Tim Cook takes over

People are retarded. Yeah, Apple is going to spiral completely out of control just because Steve Jobs isn't going to be around to unveil the next shitty iPad gimmick? :roll: He was a public icon. He was one of the founding members. Even so, I sincerely doubt that he played as big of a role in the a...

Re: The Demise of the Low-Level Programmer

Also, any embedded JTAG-based probe/debugger worth its shit can step you through C/++ symbols from a coredump of the same image without making you have to trudge through assembly. As far as I now JTAG is only for live debuggin. We dont have that luxury since 99 percent of our problems are not easil...

Re: The Demise of the Low-Level Programmer

Just to give another point of view. I work for a very large company that makes their own hardware, and with that writes their own OS's and drivers and all that jazz. most of what I've seen, certainly 99% of the kernel is in C++. Also, I guess you could call me a "software engineer", altho ...
