I'm personally planning on buying a Wii this week primarily so I can avoid the holiday rush on Wii (if there is one again) and then snag this game in Feb. I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally appreciate the team taking the extra time to work out the kinks in their game. I don't know ...

I can't read this entire post and not jump in somewhere. I have serious issues operating system wise as a programmer (now, at least) of PC games. The industry revolves around MS, some people detest MS for being popular and thus use Macs to prove they can, and everyone secretly knows linux is probabl...

I don't mind it being specific to a particular processor, I don't know of any computers these days that use non-z86 processors. (Mac testing is not required.) I will definitely try specifying hex in there, I had not thought of that. My target compiler (the one the teacher will be using) is gcc, so t...

Correct you are indeed. However, both windows and linux use the same emulated machine to actually draw the console, thus the escape sequences are the same. (These escape sequences actually came from a linux tutorial, but they work fine on linux.) Problem is, these sequences are very specific to the ...

Hello all, been a while. I am working on a random project, and I need to be able to work with the individual frames of a video file, as images, so I can convert them and work with them in my program. Does anyone know of a free program I can use to do this? The problem is, I need this conversion to r...

Hmm... Perhaps on older versions of windows. I actually went out and found the escape sequences (they were quite hard to find, mind) and they all worked fine. Clearing the screen very quickly works fine, but has the mentioned flicker. We found a better way however. It still flickers a little, but it...

Yes, that's C, not C++. Unfortunately. Let me explain. I've been tasked by an instructor to make a text based game. We've been limited to only Pure C and the standard C library, such that the game will easily compile on multiple platforms. For your typical text based game, this is fine. We want to d...

Wow... I need to start up work on my version again... I'm way behind. ^_^

I have a program on my computer running in the background (for all intents and purposes, I can't pinpoint it using the standard windows tools) that is using the internet to do something. (My connection icon remains busy even when I have closed all of my internet-using applications.) I wish simply to...

Kind Harold, I have never (in all my many attempts) gotten that method to work with any satisfactory results at all. Sorry... Honestly, I am going to agree with the crowd, and say a TV tuner is all you need. That, or a video-in card, which is sort of the same thing. (A TV tuner usually has an RF (ca...

Sheesh... I already mentioned that I could care less for speed. I know my dial-up is going to be slow, I'm used to it. I just needed something that could fix it when it failed, and the first suggestion on the page (wget) is doing that beautifully. -thegamefreak PS: I have tried opera, and was never ...

I have a dial-up connection here at home, so downloading large files is a bit of a major inconvinience to me. I've managed to circumvent this a little by using a P2P program, but it's so incredibly difficult to find anything useful with one of those. I am thus looking into a download manager. Since ...

*GASP* I ... I ... IT WORKS.... sort of... OK, OK, I officially figured out that the tooltip has a typo. It wanted me to import a DataSet, not a Data Table. No biggie. OK, so I got my grid to show my access table by setting it's data source to: HappyData.Tables(0) 'Yes, it's happy. Now I need to go ...

Oh piddle. I'm not entirely sure which version of VB.NET they will be using at contest. I would naturally assume 2005, but one can never be too sure. Since the methods are likely backwards compatible, when you are near the computer could you try to use only methods that are available in 2003? (I kno...

This is really starting to bother me... I can get my MS Access Database to show up in VB.NET. (I can connect to it. Whoopie.) I set up an OleDbDataAdapter, and set the table mappings to basically return the whole table. I only have a few slight issues. Like not being able to see the data at all. How...
