Do any of you guys offer help or lesson in exchange for paypal? I got an assignment in c# atm and I'm pretty much screwed lol. It's about objects/classes, basically have to build a board game similar to shoots and ladders. pm me if interested

Break it down into its basic parts and make those your objects. Make a GameBoard object, Player object, etc. Which parts are you having issues with, OO concepts or C# syntax?

[DannyBoy69]

In on this thread.

Appears mostly desktop based development going on up in here. Anyone need help with web development using PHP?

Also, PM if you're in the Sydney (Au) are and are looking for a web dev job (PHP/.NET) - my company is hiring (30+ employees)

[DannyBoy69]

Got too many projects going on, mostly school related.

Anyone use mySQL or have knowledge of GUIs

MySQL brah checking in. What's up.

I'm stuck at the very start. I've created a display for the board using a TableLayoutPanel, but the assignment is asking me to construct a SquareControl object for each of the squares in the board, including the Start and Finish squares.

whoops. qt, the software framework for c++. made some good progress tho, apparently their framework does support ms vs 2012 express 32-bit which is what i use. I am now in the process of downloading debain. gonna run it on a VM to develop QT applications, plus gonna get some more linux experience on the way as i suck with it atm

I haven't played shoots and ladders in ages, but I assume your TableLayout object would use some sort of data structure (eg array, linkedlist, etc) to hold SquareControl objects and ultimately the layout of the board (obviously). A player object would interact with methods within whichever SquareControl object it is currently "on" to know what to "do" (go back a space, draw a card, whatever). Squares could have pointers (references) to other Squares to represent the shoots and ladders. Dunno if this makes any sense, but I can see it in my head lol.

[Jeremy-Vincent]

any brahs willing to make an extra buck, pm me. i'm looking for an experienced programmer in java. trying to get a hack made for a 2d java based game. (not minecraft not that popular)

[jantelo]

sup brahs, checking in. I'm pretty advanced with Java/C/Android so let me know if you have questions. I'll be graduating this semester and have a full-time software engineering position lined up.

any of you go for a masters in comp sci? Was wondering how that was. I get tuition reimbursement for my job so I was considering applying for some grad schools in the future, but wasn't sure if it's worth it for comp sci. Doing a thesis isn't very appealing to me right now lol, but going for the no-thesis option seems worthless.

How were the interviews.. I need to start applying

[Engineer_Guy]

Expert C/C++ programmer here. Will be watching this thread from this point on if anyone has questions. My specialty is embedded programming on TI DSP or Atmel processors. Also fairly versed in ARM and MIPS assembly but I don't regularly program in assembly.

[JaxJags]

Can anyone help me with this C program?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main( )
{
	char s1[ ] = "   abcdefg   ";
             oneSpace(s1);
             printf("s1: %s", s1);
             return 0;  
}

int oneSpace(char *s1)
{
	int i = 0;
	//Remove Leading Spaces 
	for(i=0; i < 13; i++)
	{
		if(isspace(s1[i]))
		{
			s1++;
		}
		else
			break;
	}
	
	//Remove Trailing Spaces
	for(i=12; i > 0; i--)
	{
	
		if(isspace(s1[i]))
		{
			s1[i]='\0';
		}
		else
			break;
	}
    
    return 0; 
}

I want it to remove the whitespaces at the beginning and end of the string. I got the ending spaces removed, but not the front. Any ideas?

[moosecakes4all]

subbing here brahs. Great thread.

[jantelo]

whoops. qt, the software framework for c++. made some good progress tho, apparently their framework does support ms vs 2012 express 32-bit which is what i use. I am now in the process of downloading debain. gonna run it on a VM to develop QT applications, plus gonna get some more linux experience on the way as i suck with it atm

lmfaoooo i made this comment 3 months ago. Mind = nuked I was such a ****in n00b back then. Learned so much in this time frame

[moosecakes4all]

testing
This thread is buggy as fuark.

[Vagitarian]

Hey brahs, I have some questions, if any of y'all have feedback/advice, I'd really appreciate it.

So, I have zero coding/programming experience and would not be able to build my own website in a timely fashion. I am working on launching my first business, and I am still in the prototyping stage of my product, but while that is happening I want to have my site start to be developed. Now before you suggest WordPress, there are some unique things that I want to do with my site, especially later on down the line, so that's why I want to go custom-built. Also, I own the domain I want through GoDaddy (had to buy through them since the domain was registered by someone, prior to me, through them), and I want to switch it to a reliable host. Any recommendations? I have been recommended to look into a cloud setup like what Rackspace and DreamHost offer, anyone have any experience with that?

As far as what I want from my website, at least in the beginning, is something similar to this site: https://www.humblebundle.com/ - I like the social media/account bar at the top, but it would be ideal if as you scrolled down the screen, it was always at the top. Also, I really love how they have kept almost everything on one page, from the products to the shopping cart, it really streamlines the user experience. I also like when you click on a game and a box pops up under it showing more information and media on the game, cool feature, that I'd like to use for my products.

What do you guys reckon a site like this would cost to have made and where do I go to hire someone to build it?

Whew, just finished a marathon coding session writing a class specification for a binary search tree, and implementing the class and a test program. Probably shouldn't have left it until the night before it was due.... god I'm such a procrastinator.

[NoRKk]

             printf("s1: %s", s1);
             return 0;  
}

int oneSpace(char *s1)
{
	int i = 0;
	//Remove Leading Spaces 
	for(i=0; i < 13; i++)
	{
		if(isspace(s1[i]))

}

It doesn't work because when you give your pointer (s1) to the function oneSpace, a copy of this pointer is created in the oneSpace function scope. So basically you are moving the copy of your pointer in your function. You need to return your the copy of your pointer to main if you want it to work properly. Or you can give it directly the pointer address to your oneSpace function.

I'm not sure if I explained very clearly, don't hesitate to ask more questions if you need.

If I could give one piece of advice to any CS major, it would be start your projects as soon as possible every time, no matter how small or trivial the problem seems. I spent my first 4 years of college procrastinating projects and just squeaking by with like a C- average. I ended up being forced to go back for a 9th semester to finish up some classes. During this final semester, taking what were the most difficult classes in the curriculum, I decided to start projects asap, ask questions about the projects, seek help if needed, and ended up receiving all As that semester.

It was a real eye opener and made me regret thinking I was too smart or cool or whatever to not procrastinate these things.

Anyone here good with assembly language? I have to make a program in Easy68K that uses a recursive, reentrant subroutine to do multiplication ancient Egyptian style. We don't have to handle overflow, but if we do it is extra credit (if overflow occurs, program should return -1).

I have it working perfect without handling overflow, but can't for the life of me figure out how to properly handle the overflow. Anyone interested in taking a look at it if I post my code?

[XCrushFitnessX]

I've always thought coding was cool but theres a battle against an active lifestyle & sedentary. Exercise is what balances it out. I just feel guilty and restless in 1 spot.

Anyway, what is the best way to start a website when I don't want to have to pay someone to keep all the code to themselves? I want the person to share the code/ code in a way that others can also format. Should I just go with a website builder? And does it even benefit me as a Health & Fitness Professional?
