What should I do?

[MidgetsBro]

What should I do? I see everyone working on projects, and I can't think of anything to create. I'm not the creative type, but I love to write the actual code. Any ideas? Nothing too outlandish like writing a program to get into Bill Gates' bank account or any other jibberish. (Beside I already did that and he doesn't keep any money in the bank... it's all under his matress)

Oh yeah... and it can't be database either because that will end up with me throwing the computer out the window... that's not a pretty sight either...

You can finish my assignment for me...

DON'T DO IT MIDGETSBRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His project has a bizarre recursion error!

[MidgetsBro]

LOL. I wouldn't do it anyway cause I have no clue how to do what he is doing with classes and objects and whatnot.

Now it has a bizarre incompetent group member contribution error(s)...

Damn... that's really too bad. Wish I could help somehow.

Isn't NightWalker an Ozzie too? Why don't you get him to help?

Wish I could employ you to help.

I've thought about it many times, but then every time I realize that there are already plenty of programs that do this already, and I've learned from SmashTheQube's experiences that not many people like to move to a new filesharing program when they already have one that works.

[rjlohan]

Instead of just making stuff, why not try to learn something? You just said you didn't understand classes and stuff. There's a good place to start.

I'm working on something for him right now that uses classes. I should be ready to zip it up in about 20 minutes.

what about learning a different programming language?

ive kinda played with C++ and Java... never really did much with it though.. probably will go back sometime to it as i do need to know C when at uni ive i do that course

tis a good idea

Thanks man. I'm looking for tutorials on this site, but I haven't found much. Most of points to projects on PSC, and I don't really understand from the comments exacty what they are doing.

I've ventured into C++ a few times, but always got lost when it came to Windows programming. I can make console programs pretty well, but as soon as I use some code to make a window, I don't know what do next.

OK, this should get you started. Like I told you in the PM, the point of a class is to encapsulate the crap and create an object. Once you have the object, you don't have to worry about how it handles the details.

This took me about 10 minutes, so it's no great shakes, but it should get you started.

Just click twice and you'll get a line.

By the way, RJ, this class uses a picture object like what you were asking about yesterday.

[MidgetsBro]

hehe. I am playing with this... it's rather confusing, but this is what I did to it so far. Just added a "DrawCircle" property to the class.
