how come images dont show up for me?

Because they're > whatever the post area width is on a 1024x768 (I think that's what I have the make-it-a-link limit set to).

And as for the <shiny pants>, must be nice. I dev on an HP dv1000. That's a laptop. More specifically, my fiancee's laptop. I think they got some upgrades from base when they ordered it, and from memory since I'm not at home:
Processor: ~1.8?GHz Intel
Memory: 1.25gb (:P) PC2700 [shipped: 2 slots, 2x256]
Hard drive: 80GB (Dunno the RPM)
Video Card: Some Intel thing that uses ~64mb of system ram
Sound Card: Dunno
Speakers: Laptop speakers / Headphones with a volume adjustment on each ear
Keyboard: Laptop
Mouse: Touchpad
Operating System: Windows XP SP2
Motherboard: Who knows

Also from your sshot I can tell that
1) the tutorial you're at would save a lot of trouble by writing 'using',
2) you aren't a big fan of spaces, but you like carriage returns ")){...\n } \n else{" //eww
3) your variable capitalization is a bit strange ">> damage >> ApCost" //oops?
4) you don't like shorthand "if (blah) { \n ONE LINE \n } \n else{ \n ONE LINE \n}" , also if (blah == NULL) //i like shorthand
As opposed to if (blah) \n ONE LINE \n else \n ONE LINE \n
And as opposed to if (!blah), although tbh == NULL is 'safer' in case they decide to change NULL to some value not == 0 because that would make sense ha.

comon jesterguy.. You're just showin off..

But you surely have something to show off with..


The only thing that I have better than you are the headphones and maybe the sound card (external)..

1 ) Cant say much on it as I didn't write it.
2 ) ??? Sorry you lost me on this one.
3 ) Agreed, the variable names aren't quite as good as they should be and some need to be remade but that's still only my third real project after hello world, I'm still working on good codeing habits.
4 ) and no i don't like shorthand, i like easy to read, understand and modify code.

lol maybe but I have the advantage of being 18 and having no other expenses plus for the past few years I've put all my money into my computer builds.
also I love my headphones I've never seen/worn more comfortable headphones then these.

2) You write

Code: Select all

if ((...) op (...)){
    dostuff
}
else{
    domorestuff
}

Instead of

Code: Select all

if ( (...) op (...) ) {
    dostuff
}
else {
    /* You also don't write "} else {" but if you did you'd probably write "}else{" */
    domorestuff
}

Obviously I was bored between classes. :)

[jesterguy]

O ok you were talking about the spaces, then yea I did do that originally but I've been starting to use spaces alot more lately. Like I said its only my third project so I'm still working on good coding habits.

Its better to be bored between classes then not have any classes at all, I was a bit too lazy during the summer and missed my chance to sign up for the first semester so now I'm sitting around all day with nothing to do.

[dandymcgee]

You have six monitors.. wtf?

[Falco Girgis]

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.40GHz
2.0 GB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2
ATI Radeon X1650 512MB VRAM

KVM switch for second monitor/Dreamcast

Sega Dreamcast
200Mhz SH4 processor
16MB System RAM
8MB Video Ram
PowerVR2 Video
~3 million poly/sec theoretical performance
400 blocks of storage (memory card)

My dev setup.

[dandymcgee]

Me:

DOS Machine:
75 MHz (P1?)
16MB RAM
1GB HDD
Graphics Card: ROFL

Dev Computer:
AMD Sempron 2.0 GHz
256MB RAM
250GB HDD / 40GB HDD
64MB MSI MX4000 Graphics Card
Windows XP Home SP3

Well at least it's a little better than Falco's DreamCast.

[Falco Girgis]

Well at least it's a little better than Falco's DreamCast.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T. Can that graphics card of yours do Dot3 Bumpmapping?

[dandymcgee]

How do I tell? :P

EDIT: Lol a Dot3 Bump mapping app just crashed my computer o.O You Win.

HAHAHAHA! That just made my night!

Dreamcast wins.

[dandymcgee]

In case you were wondering: http://www.zanir.szm.sk/dx10-19.html

BTW, next video needs to include some sort of proof that you can run this on your DreamCast. If my memory recalls correctly (which it probably does not), I haven't seen a running DreamCast in your videos for quite some time.

[Falco Girgis]

It will.

...it's running on Dreamcast right now. I just broke the build for a long time.
