Developer's Corner / Re: Do you use a good office chair when programming?

« on: June 13, 2008, 10:13 AM »

here's my chair of choice -
 (see attachment in previous post)http://www.swopper-uk.com/home.shtm

well ... it's actually a stool, innit !?!

I tried it for an hour or so once & loved it - you're forced, you could say, to sit with a straight back and the movement keeps your back "fit" and I found it very comfortable to boot
@ $600/€500 pricetag I'll be waiting!

Also check out PureBasic(www.purebasic.com), it's a very powerful language and Fred(the creator) is a really nice guy and same goes for the helpful community! It's cheap($99) for life time updates and has versions for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, AmigaOS ;-]

Basic / Re: What flavors of basic?

« on: September 11, 2007, 01:52 AM »

simple question (compounded by the above thread...)

I assume when I read basic, you mean BASIC, but the references to VB makes me wonder.

if we're talking BASIC, is there a preferred flavour??  I've been experimenting with Emergence Basic (no reason, it's free, and it was handy...), but if there's a better/preferred option I'd rather know now...

Target, I would highly suggest you to avoid IONICWIND, their website, forums, applications because after all you get is grief! Paul Turley, the founder will keep stopping and taking back on the development.

He gave to his users numerous of excuses, for instance(and this is true) "My dog needs to go to the vets bla bla i need money if not i won't be able to work on the language"...So they did contribute...People on there are more like followers then users, so please do not pay him a dime! Maybe you could check out the following:

FreeBasic - it's free
PureBasic - it's 99bucks for life time updates(excellent language)
REALBasic - expensive and buggy
PowerBasic - a little pricey but not that bad!

I'll think of more later...

« on: May 14, 2007, 05:02 AM »

What winamp version are you using? My class supports 2.x and 5.x (excluding 3.x), supports every aspect of winamp. So i could do a replicate that can control it, so if you PM'd me a little more detail of what you want, i'll be happy to sort it out for you.

Hey Mouser, we don't know eachother yet, but April showed me this topic, and i decided to code it for you to mess around with! Haha I was bored man.

This was done in C using the SDL library.
it will show in full screen, and you move the lazer around with your mouse.
also to exit, just hit the escape key!

peace to you all.
