Java IDE Accessibility
Java IDE Accessibility I have taken a java programming position. The team uses the java inteliJ IDE and a whole host of compatible plugins.What is the accessibility like with a windows screenreader? Does JAWS or NVDA work better? I am normally a Mac person which is primarily Why I'm asking. I doubt I will be able to get a Mac and Reasonably request to use a completely different IDE and system that the whole team unless InteliJ is completely inaccessible (which I don't believe is the case).

Re: mac python error when packing to executable The command or script you used to build your python code would help.But that being said, this looks a bit like some sort of library incompatibility or mismatch.

Re: is there a python module to get a subject of a sentence?
Re: is there a python module to get a subject of a sentence? I'm not sure what you're asking. The exact word "murder" is not in your sentence.If you are meaning pulling out the word of a specific sentence that is the subject, then the answer is is I. Which is rather ambiguous. We need more prior sentences to say who the pronoun I refers too. A module to process parts of speech would not be impossible.If you are meaning more the topicality or subject matter of your sentence, very few systems are that advanced or are publicly available that you could just call an API and get back a meaningful result. Google and some of the other big CV tech companies do have some work available recently on AI's starting to be able to do this, but see previous comments.Not even mentioning that the comprehension of a sentence is very subjective of all of the context around it and the language in which it is conveyed. In English murder has a very specific meaning. Are you sure though that this sentence's subject isn't talking about assassination, or any of the other half a dozen words that convey the same idea of person A kills person B, but have drastically different connotations. What if the subject is shooting guns, or shooting a bow, or travel, or gaming, etc. Languages are messy, landmine-laden mazes of contradictions. You will step on one eventually.I hope you are starting to understand this isn't as cut and dry as you think. This won't be solved any time soon or if ever.

Re: Developing with Swift.
Re: Developing with Swift. You can procedurally generate UIs in swift with AppKit or UIKit, but I would really recommend using SwiftUI instead. It will be the future moving forward for GUI development on apple products. TextMate is a clean very powerful IDE for Mac. It has support for almost any language you could ever write in. This includes Swift and SwiftUI. It also can build and run Xcode projects. I'm not 100% sure though if it can deploy to a physical device or only launch the inaccessible simulators.If you still wish to use Xcode, I would highly recommend you get used to many of the Xcode shortcuts. They are a live saver for not having to navigate the Xcode UI. additionally, I recommend using Voiceover + j for jumping around the Xcode interface when you need it.Lastly, I have been working through the 100 days of SwiftUI course. It is very good and 100% free. I have not needed to drag one UI element onto the canvas. While SwiftUI doesn't have all of the same features that AppKit and UIKit do, the updates in SwiftUI for iOS 14 are a huge leap forward. I recommend giving it a look if you have devices that support the OS requirements.

Re: IOS Development
Re: IOS Development I don't have any input on programming in react native, but I used Xcode for my computer science courses that were c++ based; as well as recently some swift and swift based iOS app programming. The key commands above are very good and work memorizing those and others so you are not navigating the UI. To those people that are scared of getting into iOS app development because you think there is lots of visual laying out of UI elements in the interface builder, this is not true if you use SwiftUI. SwiftUI isn't perfect and you can't do everything in it yet, but it is well on the way of completely replacing UIKit and AppKit on iOS and MacOS respectively. I am in the process of working on a couple apps written completely in SwiftUI and have have not once needed to use the interface builder. Yes you could previously procedurally generate UI elements with swift or objectiveC, but Swift with SwiftUI is an amazingly simple, intuitive, and powerful way to write your app.I have been using Paul Hudson's 100 days of SwiftUI course.

Re: Any way to make coding on MacOS non-painful?
Re: Any way to make coding on MacOS non-painful? To add a bit more sanity back into this discussion, Xcode has gotten much better as far as accessibility is concerned. I began using the Mac back in 2016 and successfully completed a computer science degree with it. I didn't have to have extensions on assignments because I couldn't keep up with my sighted classmates. if anything I was usually the first one done.TextMate can do everything that VSCode can do. I'm not saying that because VSCode isn't accessible, far from it. in my admittedly limited tests, it gets the job done. but just giving people options.In Xcode 12 beta you can now get the level of indention by pressing VoiceOver + t (control + option + t). While this is a bit verbose because it also mentions every text attribute that VoiceOver can see, it does work. here is n example from a project of mine, "SFMono: White on a shade of gray12: indent level 6: 24 spaces: 0 tabs: line 31." There are also rotor actions for jumping around in code by methods, errors, warnings, breakpoints, and marks.I also use an AppleScript attached to a keyboard commander shortcut of option + ` to get the level of indention of a line. This works in any IDE. It does get a bit confused if you run it multiple times, but I don't usually need that.honestly though, I don't worry about indention a whole lot of the time because the IDE takes care of it. Plus if you screw things up, its really not the end of the world. Most projects should be run through a code formatter/linter anyway.

C++ fixed width and strange 0 truncation
C++ fixed width and strange 0 truncation
Long story short, I am trying to save a 32 bit or 4 byte unsigned int. This is being used as hex values for colors that take the following form:0xRRGGBBAAwhere RR is the amount of red from 0 - 255where GG is the amount of green from 0 - 255where BB is the amount of blue from 0 - 255where AA is the alpha or transparency from 0 - 255see my code below.The problem arises when there are leading zeros such as in the colors green (0x00ff00ff) and blue (0x). I know those aren't the precise names, but stay with me. The zeros get truncated off leaving me with 0xff00ff and 0x respectively. these do not draw as colors on the screen as they don't have the required bits. How can I ensure that my values retain all of the bits? I have tried storing them in unsigned int, Uint32, uint32_t, uint_fast32_t, and uint_least32_t. all of these seem to drop the leading zeros even though the constant width values say they should keep all 32 bits. Is this a compiler optimization I can turn off? I should say I intend on using clang for cross platform compatibility. Currently I'm on my Mac in Xcode and I get the same results with g++ in terminal.My example code is not at all representative of what I'm actually doing with the colors. I know I could manipulate the stream with std::showcase, std::internal, and std::set fill('0') to this play the hex correctly, but that is only fixing the display and not solving the underlying issue.Any help would be appreciated.#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
uint32_t red = 0xffff;
uint32_t green = 0x00ff00ff;
uint32_t blue = 0x;
cout << red << ", " << green << ", " << blue << endl;
cout << hex << red << ", " << green << ", " << blue << endl;
return 0;

If you have a basic understanding of the c or c++ code that goes on under the hood of python and BGT that could help you better debug issues you encounter in the higher level abstracted language. The same can be said for c and c++. Is it necessary to learn assembler to know c and c++? not really, but it can most definitely help.

Re: What is the Point of Static or Constant Variables?
Re: What is the Point of Static or Constant Variables? Static and constant variables have two similar but different purposes. Constant variables by there name are constant and can never be changed. This is helpful in many situations when you want a value but you never want it to be accidentally changed. You could say just never change it, but can you guarantee that this will never happen? What happens if you are using a codebase amongst a whole team of junior and senior devs? Its just better to make things immutable/constant if there is no need for them to change.Static on the other hand is a bit more advanced. Many times, especially in games, static classes are used for back-end services like audio systems. things that are declared static are allocated memory in their own little static area away from normal scoping. generally this means they have scope for the life-time of a program is running but this is not always the case. Static variables inside functions retain their memory across all the times a function is called in a program. This is nice if you are running a counter and need to keep track of how many times something happens. Static class data members are available across all instances of a class with the same value. Static methods are likewise available to all instances of a class, but can not be accessed through the standard this pointer. static methods can only access other static functions and other static variables. Finally, static class instances or objects get their primitive data members initialized to 0 but not usr defined data members. they are in scope throughout the life-time of a program.Read this article for more info. and This page on game programming patterns is a good application of static classes.Something can be static and constant, static and not constant, or just constant. They are not the same.

Re: Reliability of packets?
Re: Reliability of packets? TCP is used when you want to make sure all of the bits got to the right place. For example, you would use TCP when you are downloading a file. You would want to make sure you got the whole file you downloaded and it had been assembled in the write order. UDP is mostly used for streaming data. Youtube or Skype are examples of this. When you hear a glitch in the audio that is usually a dropped or missing packet but with algorithms and the ear being so good we don't notice much of a difference. UDP is low overhead so when servers have to stream lots of data its super easy to bring up a TCP connection once for every connection it needs. that makes sure it got all of the info it needed to begin streaming. It will then imbed a UDP stream of the youtube or Netflixs show you requested.

Re: Keeping Track of a game's storyline/objectivs to quote the article posted above:I hear this a lot, often from programmers who don’t actually know the details of the pattern. They have a default assumption that anything that smells like a “design pattern” must involve piles of classes and indirection and other creative ways of squandering CPU cycles.The Observer pattern gets a particularly bad rap here because it’s been known to hang around with some shady characters named “events”, “messages”, and even “data binding”.

They involve things like queuing or doing dynamic allocation for each notification.This is why I think documenting patterns is important. When we get fuzzy about terminology, we lose the ability to communicate clearly and succinctly. You say, “Observer”, and someone hears “Events” or “Messaging” because either no one bothered to write down the difference or they didn’t happen to read it.That’s what I’m trying to do with this book. To cover my bases, I’ve got a chapter on events and messages too: Event Queue.But, now that you’ve seen how the pattern is actually implemented, you know that isn’t the case. Sending a notification is simply walking a list and calling some virtual methods. Granted, it’s a bit slower than a statically dispatched call, but that cost is negligible in all but the most performance-critical code.I find this pattern fits best outside of hot code paths anyway, so you can usually afford the dynamic dispatch. Aside from that, there’s virtually no overhead. We aren’t allocating objects for messages. There’s no queueing. It’s just an indirection over a synchronous method call.plus you can't say its to slow if you've never implemented it and tested it out. try it and report back.

Re: Witch is easier to learn? c++ or python?
Re: Witch is easier to learn? c++ or python? C# Is a Microsoft product. Microsoft the king of keeping on legacy products and continually to support them a long time after they should have died a quiet death in the graveyard of abandoned software. While Python generally has a cleaner and more beginner friendly syntax, It is more a matter of the teacher or tutorial you use. A Bad teacher won't be able to teach even the easiest of programming languages effectively. Also teachers and people trying to give advice who spout off in their corner about how you shouldn't pick Joe and Nick's Super Unique Coding Kit because the way they handle pointers is bad or the Memory management is slow and buggy; you should ignore them. Not that they aren't right. They may have valid points. You as a beginner though do not care about advanced pointer allocation or the memory layout or your program in ram. Eventually you might, but for now just learn the basics. If you get there one day, go shout along with the critics about how Joe and Nick's Super Unique Coding Kit is so buggy beyond belief that you couldn't believe that anyone in their right minds would even run it on their computer.

Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea!
Re: Another question about pythonic syntax, yea! Part of what bakes this tricky is that lists or arrays are actually pointers. Even though python touts the fact its a high level language that you don't have to worry about pointers and memory, in reality you kind of still do. personally i still like the more verbose version. its easier to read and much clearer as to what is actually going on. this goes for new programmers if you are collaborating with people and yourself 6 months or a ear down the road when you try and comprehend what the hell you wrote that one night. also good commenting can solve this too. if you are finding yourself writing a comment to explain what a tricky or clever bit or code does, there almost always will be a clearer way to write it. comments should explain why you wrote code like you did and your thought processes behind it.

Re: Couple questions bgt
Re: Couple questions bgt To quote the chapter I linked to earlierThis is tricky to implement cleanly since we have such a wide range of achievements that are unlocked by all sorts of different behaviors. If we aren’t careful, tendrils of our achievement system will twine their way through every dark corner of our codebase. Sure, “Fall off a Bridge” is somehow tied to the physics engine, but do we really want to see a call to unlockFallOffBridge() right in the middle of the linear algebra in our collision resolution algorithm?This is a rhetorical question. No self-respecting physics programmer would ever let us sully their beautiful mathematics with something as pedestrian as gameplay.What we’d like, as always, is to have all the code concerned with one facet of the game nicely lumped in one place. The challenge is that achievements are triggered by a bunch of different aspects of gameplay. How can that work without coupling the achievement code to all of them?That’s what the observer pattern is for. It lets one piece of code announce that something interesting happened without actually caring who receives the notification.For example, we’ve got some physics code that handles gravity and tracks which bodies are relaxing on nice flat surfaces and which are plummeting toward sure demise. To implement the “Fall off a Bridge” badge, we could just jam the achievement code right in there, but that’s a mess.Let me draw your attention to the idea That inserting achievement code willy nilly is not scaleable. Its messy, at best and if the game advances into a bigger project or when a bigger project is attempted, the programmer is going to need to come up with a better system. to make programming easier, isolated game components are put together to make a complete game.What we’d like, as always, is to have all the code concerned with one facet of the game nicely lumped in one place.To address the size of the projects people are working on. I'll say good programming practices scale in both directions. Bad ones: spaghetti coding, code interdependencies, etc do not scale. They make it more difficult for for you 5 to 6 months down the road and if you have other people reading your code, good luck to that other person trying to make sense of the mess you wrote. If you wish to move beyond our niche community you have to step-up your programming game.

Re: decrypting bgt stuff?
Re: decrypting bgt stuff? It doesn't say in the docs so you have to assume it does not actively erase or zero secure memory after it runs out of scope. likewise, you can not assume it actively protects keys in ram.writing secure C++ is tough even in the best of circumstances. Writing secure C++ while trying to erase memory behind you and not letting anything leak is near impossible. I would assume the majority of bgt is in angel script, only dipping into C++ where needed. I would be highly surprised if angel script had the capability to securely manage and protect memory. only the basics of encrypt, decrypt, and hash are offered. Do we even know the algorithms used?Again I reiterate, The sounds to your game being stolen is not the end of the world. why not leave them open and put that effort into a modding system. There are much more important things to protect, like your source-code, or your activation system.

Re: decrypting bgt stuff?
Re: decrypting bgt stuff? Both sides of this discussion are correct. I also think decryption of sounds is nothing. there are bigger things to be worrying in application development.I would suspect this psudo dictionary attack to work most of the time. I would suspect that most BGT devs don't have a formal education in computer science let alone cyber security/cryptography. They read, "You can encrypt your sounds from being stolen." They think to themselves this is something I want to do, I want to protect my hard work from hackers. They aren't aware of the reality. They probably either pick a stupidly simple phrase or mash on the keyboard which isn't that hard to crack. they would never make the phrase a bunch of non-printable chars.I proper education in computer science hopefully will give someone the understanding of BGTs shortcomings. This kind of research has to be done in public. Not in secret. Maybe, it might give an incentive for an BGT update. but i am not holding my breath. Admins should not delete any posts.

Re: Question about bgt handles
Re: Question about bgt handles
Another thing to consider when using pass by value and pass by reference, is that of the nature of the call. Note: all code is in c++. I do not know bgt. I'm assuming that bgt has some equivalent as it is a distant derivative of C, but so apply this to bgt with a bit of salt. slow and unsafe.This is equivalent to a normal function call where all of the arguments passed into the function are copied. Any changes made to those variables are not reflected in the variables of the calling function.#include
using namespace std;
void variableTest(int x, int y);
int main()
{
int x = 1;
int y = 2;
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
variableTest(x, y);
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
return 0;
}
int variableTest(int x, int y)
{
x += y;
y -= x;
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
}slow and safe.This is adding a const qualifier to the variables you pass into the function. This is basically not use and virtually pointless because if you already are passing by value, the changes you make will not effect the original values. If you want the variables to be read-only however, be my guest.The following code probably wont work, as i'm trying to modify a constant variable, but that could be useful though if you were trying to minimize access and keeping grubby little fingers where they don't belong.#include
using namespace std;
void variableTest(const int x, const int y);
int main()
{
int x = 1;
int y = 2;
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
variableTest(x, y);
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
return 0;
}
int variableTest(const int x, const int y)
{
x += y;
y -= x;
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
}fast and unsafeThis is the most dangerous of the 4 options. If you pass by reference, the function can modify anything it wants to as it pertains to your variables. It is fast though. A pass by reference is basically pass by pointer. It copies 4 or 8 bytes (the size of a memory address depending on your operating system) instead of passing the class instance or object you have defined that is a dozen or more bytes. copying dozens and dozens of bytes just to make a function call will slow your program down to a crawl.#include
using namespace std;
void variableTest(int & x, int & y);
int main()
{
int x = 1;
int y = 2;
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
variableTest(x, y);
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
return 0;
}
int variableTest(int ^ x, int ^ y)
{
x += y;
y -= x;
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;
}fast and safe.The best of both worlds fast and safe is pass by constant reference. If you are still with me you can probably guess what this means. We get the speed and efficiency of pass by reference, but the function can not modify the variables. This is especially useful for operating system / API calls where you are getting data from the user or application program. You as the system level software or operating system have no right to modify the data you've been given. plus if they have given you a struct of of employee data that has several variables like name, id, and address, you would much rather be shuffling around pointers and not big bulky employee structs.#include
using namespace std;
void variableTest(const int x, const int y);
int main()
{
int x = 1;
int y = 2;
cout << x << ", " << y << endl;

Any changes made to those variables are not reflected in the variables of the calling function./code]#include using namespace std;void variableTest(int x, int y);int main(){ int x = 1; int y = 2;cout << x << ", " << y << endl; variableTest(x, y);cout << x << ", " << y << endl; return 0;}int variableTest(int x, int y){ x += y; y -= x;cout << x << ", " << y << endl;}[\code]slow and safe.This is adding a const qualifier to the variables you pass into the function. This is basically not use and virtually pointless because if you already are passing by value, the changes you make will not effect the original values. If you want the variables to be read-only however, be my guest.The following code probably wont work, as i'm trying to modify a constant variable, but that could be useful though if you were trying to minimize access and keeping grubby little fingers where they don't belong./code]#include using namespace std;void variableTest(const int x, const int y);int main(){ int x = 1; int y = 2;cout << x << ", " << y << endl; variableTest(x, y);cout << x << ", " << y << endl; return 0;}int variableTest(const int x, const int y){ x += y; y -= x;cout << x << ", " << y << endl;}[\code]fast and unsafeThis is the most dangerous of the 4 options. If you pass by reference, the function can modify anything it wants to as it pertains to your variables. It is fast though. A pass by reference is basically pass by pointer. It copies 4 or 8 bytes (the size of a memory address depending on your operating system) instead of passing the class instance or object you have defined that is a dozen or more bytes. copying dozens and dozens of bytes just to make a function call will slow your program down to a crawl./code]#include using namespace std;void variableTest(int & x, int & y);int main(){ int x = 1; int y = 2;cout << x << ", " << y << endl; variableTest(x, y);cout << x << ", " << y << endl; return 0;}int variableTest(int ^ x, int ^ y){ x += y; y -= x;cout << x << ", " << y << endl;}[\code]fast and safe.The best of both worlds fast and safe is pass by constant reference. If you are still with me you can probably guess what this means. We get the speed and efficiency of pass by reference, but the function can not modify the variables. This is especially useful for operating system / API calls where you are getting data from the user or application program. You as the system level software or operating system have no right to modify the data you've been given. plus if they have given you a struct of of employee data that has several variables like name, id, and address, you would much rather be shuffling around pointers and not big bulky employee structs./code]#include using namespace std;void variableTest(const int x, const int y);int main(){ int x = 1; int y = 2;cout << x << ", " << y << endl; variableTest(x, y);cout << x << ", " << y << endl; return 0;}int variableTest(const int x, const int y){ x += y; y -= x;cout << x << ", " << y << endl;}[\code]

Re: What am i missing in bgt
Re: What am i missing in bgt
These are general programming questions. With out getting into deep game design and programming patterns, most of these could be basic variable saving and if conditionals.if (player.score > 200)
{
doAchievement();
}
if (getInput.key("rightarrow"))
{
player.score++;
}this is not bgt, I do not know bgt, just trying to give you options.if you want to dig deeper into game programming patterns go herean achievements system is a whole bigger thing than a bunch of if / else if / else statements. this would not be scalable to even a few achievements. the above link talks about this idea.

Re: My idea to encourage people to use Python and make more games with it
Re: My idea to encourage people to use Python and make more games with it posts 24 and 25 said it much better than I could ever put it. To get people off of BGT you actually have to solve the issues that BGT creates while not introducing any yourselves. I think this could be it, but as was said in 24 and 25, you don't need to reinvent the stuff that python already gives you. come up with coding standards and a plan. start small and build from that. be intentional about the function and libraries you add. If it doesn't solve a problem or duplicates something in the STL, why is it being included. The STL is going to be 1000% better than any functions you write. more secure, better tested, and as previously stated everyone knows them.

Re: Accessible C++ IDE?
Re: Accessible C++ IDE? I actually had a workflow sort of similar to yours. For my programming classes where we produced less complex code e.g.: all in one ".cpp" file, I would use an IDE like TextMate or xCode. Then I would compile it using g++. If there was any Microsoft specific functions we had to use like strcpy_s I would then move over to Visual Studio in a vm and add those in. Let me know if you want more info on these types of side cases. I was kind of bad about making sure My code compiled on windows but as long as you know you aren't using any Microsoft specific c++ functions you should be good. When the coding got more complex into data structures with 5 or 6 files I started using xCode and projects more and more.If you are writing c++ code I think you should be using g++ not gcc. alternately, you could use clang as I think that is what gcc/g++ calls anyway when you use it on the mac, but please let me know if i'm completely wrong on this.

Re: skipping numbers in bgt's random generator
Re: skipping numbers in bgt's random generator
A do while loop is useful when you want something to run at least one time. fore example:// this is c++ code
#include
using namespace std;
void whileLoop(int x);
void doWhileLoop(int x);
int main()
{
int x = 0;

doWhileLoop(x);
return 0;

cout << "Running while loop. x is: " << x << endl; //
x--; //decrement x
}
}
void doWhileLoop(int x)
{
// loop will run this time because it is a do while
do
{
cout << "Running do while loop. x is: " << x << endl;
x--; // decrement x
}
while (x > 0);
}This is a bit contrived but i hope you get the point. do whiles can be very useful in many cases. They can help with debugging and protecting against your conditionals acting up because of weird input.

Re: Getting started with coding audiogames in Python?
Re: Getting started with coding audiogames in Python? One thing to think about when comparing python and the way and speed in which it does data mining and machine learning as compared to game rendering, is that Any data analysts worth his or her salt should be running computations on a GPU. GPU's generally have many times more cores than a normal CPU and GPU tasks are much more parallel friendly. Your random duel-core (quad-core at best) random laptop will never keep up with a decent GPU. On the main CPU you are also fighting for execution time against all of the other process in your computer: mail program, twitter client, and oh look helpful windows just checked for updates. --This post will continue after this extended reboot.--Few, now that that is over... That being said, any program written poorly will run like crap no matter the language and no matter the CPU. Which is why I am so bullish on getting some sort of formal education in comp sci or a related field if you really want to program or in this case code games. You'll be able to see that the algorithm you just wrote is O(n^2) when you could have written it as O(n). And so many more things that you learn that almost can't be taught anywhere other than in a classroom setting.

Re: requesting some hints and libraries-Csharp
Re: requesting some hints and libraries-Csharp The reason you want a buffer as small as possible is because a malicious program could fill the left over space in your buffer with god knows what. It might be code they want executed as in an SQL injection or data they are trying to exfiltrate from your machine. These are just two things I could think of off the top of my head after a long day of classes, hockey practice, and homework.personally don't really see the "arrogance" people say Ethin is displaying. I am more of a lurker hear so i read a lot and don't really think its warranted. He posts a lot, usually fairly high quality stuff, that isn't baseless. "arrogance" is hard to attribute here partially because much of speech is word inflection, tone of voice, and emphasis. all of which is lost in a text-only medium. Granted, part of speech is word choice, which is not lost, but i think this is less of a factor personally.If its so upsetting to you that Ethin is posting away with all of his arrogance, how about just not reading his posts? responding in they way I see people doing is just making the problem worse by filling up threads with useless junk posts.The reporting tool needs to be used for posts that clearly violate the forum rules or is spam. not for our petty grudges.

Re: What do i need to get started with python on both mac and windows?
Re: What do i need to get started with python on both mac and windows? to rename a file in MacOS finder press enter on it. I think you can also press VO+shift+m (right click) and there is a rename option. If you are already in the terminal, you can use the mv command. e.g:mv my_file.txt my_file.pyalso the touch command creates files for you as long as they are text based. I'm not 100% sure on all of the specifics, so if anyone could explain that better feel free. the command is:touch file1.py file2.py file3.pyyou can give as many args to the touch command as you wish and it will create the files.

Re: c++ and audiogames?
Re: c++ and audiogames? I'm using SDL2. It takes care of windowing, graphics, basic sounds, and much more. unfortunately, libaudioverse is only available for windows. So even though c++ is cross platform for basically all platforms, remember if you are going to rely on LAV, you'll need to find something else to use in place of LAV on everything other than windows.

Re: Namespaces in bgt - A Tutorial / Guide is there even a good accessible disassembler/decompiler? all the ones i've tried lack horribly for accessibility.

Re: I would like to start making my own web browser
Re: I would like to start making my own web browser [[wow]], there was a whole other paragraph under that first line on my last post. why didn't that get posted. I hoenstly don't really remember what i said, but i'll try and say it again.i know i said the original post was very vague as to what personal use meant. a project is nice, but if you want to use it as your main browser, i would highly advise against that. like others said, keeping it up to date with security patches would be a nightmare beyond all imagining. the operating system is a great comparison. no sane person would dream of doing that from scratch. yeah you'd get a bunch of linux things and slap them together, but still you'd have to still do a lot by hand. same with a browser even if you used a lot of tools and api's URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=321516#p321516 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It, Or Why I've Chosen to Lern VB6
Re: If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It, Or Why I've Chosen to Lern VB6 aprone I was not saying i had VB6 or BGT exploits hiding up my sleeves. the likely hood however of bugs and/or vulnerabilities for said languages are pretty high. the problem is people neither disclose them properly, or if they do, they are never patched. i kind of think of it as if you are living in schrodinger's termite infested house. you actively ignore or are oblivious or don't care that there are termites that may or may not be eating away at the supports of your house. until you go look (find bugs or vulnerabilities) or wait until your house collapses around you, you think nothing is wrong. as this topic titles says, you think its not broke but you can't actually verify that. you are vertually sitting in your house with blinders on thinking your house is structurally sound while the time clock is ticking away on a impending crash. if you care at all, even a tiny bit, then stop using old deprecated languages that will never get updates. if you don't care, then you need to stop coding now and find a different hobby or profession. because pirates and hackers do care and they will eat you alive.
