I learned this from the Rama video game when I was like 8, oh my god was that frustrating for someone with no concept of anything besides roman numerals and base 10.
I would not be surprised if I got some of those wrong too.
Ok so when you write it out like that it makes so much more sense.
Bit twiddling and doing bit masks is fairly common in my domain.
Qt still requires you to understand Bit AND and OR to do anything remotely advanced.
Yeah, gets used a lot if you're doing network related stuff, too. I wrote a subnet calculator thing as an early android app and the easiest way to do that was just shift bits about. I based my code for that off of a snippet I found of some code from a firewall. I wrote a ping app that can take a subnet rather than single IP and did the same there to determine the range and convert back to IPs.
Now, this rotates, but not towards my cursor. Why doesn't this work? Please help un-retard me.
Thank you.
Are you keeping in mind that your sprite is probably oriented with 0 radians rotation meaning "face straight up" but 0 radians is actually pointing in the positive x direction?
Assuming you made a sprite that points up when not rotated.

No, No I wasn't. Now that I am it is working. Thank you sir.
EDIT: what I don't understand is that I set the rotation to 0 radians right after I create the sprite yet it still draws it at pi/2 radians initially.
EDIT EDIT: NM, that's stupid. I get it now.

Yeah, it seemed likely what you were doing because that is what everyone does!
Okay, upon further fiddling I found something out.
Setting a rotation of 0 IS initially pointing up if you're not retarded like me and just let XNA do it's thing.
The problem I was having is that in my rotation code I was calculating my tangent from the sprites origin, I was then using that to get the rotation. I then passed that rotation and the sprites origin to the draw method. Turns out, if you just calc the tangent from the sprites location (upper left corner of it's bounding rect) and pass that with the sprites origin to the draw method it takes care of the rest (allowing you to use 0 rads as up).

Well yes, 0 rads has always been up, if that's what the unrotated orientation of the sprite is. (Usually the case.)
The discrepancy is that if you pass a positive Y and a zero X to atan, you get pi/2, not 0.
You would likely want to be calculating your X/Y for finding the degree by taking mouse X/Y and subtracting the X/Y of the origin of your sprite (in screen space, so location+origin) since the origin is where it will rotate the sprite.
OK, I think I've worked out a C# coordinate system for use in a tactical game or similar program.
In plain speech, I create a 50x50x10 int[] array. Then I use a for-loop to assign a unique integral value to each slot in the array. Then, each of those values is made an entry in a dictionary. Using the mathematical patterns of those integral values, the dictionary entry is given an X, Y, and Z value.
Now that I've done it for myself, I feel more comfortable asking: Is there a more efficient way to do this?

Judging by the behavior, the angle is being stored as a value from -pi to pi radians. Your code (or perhaps the code you're calling?) is interpolating between where the circle is currently facing and where it should be facing, but when your angle goes from pi-a to pi+b (for small values of a and b) the latter gets converted to -pi+b, and the angle has to go all the way down from pi-a to -pi+b.
Probably the simplest way to fix this is to keep track of the previous angle and see if the difference between the old one and the new one is greater than pi; if it is, either add or subtract pi (if you went from pi to -pi or vice versa, respectively) when you're giving the interpolation code the value to interpolate to.
I just got my pathfinding method (an implementation of the A* search algorithm) working. It's putting out beautiful straight paths between two points.
Now I just have to expand it into 3 dimensions and have it account for blocked squares, but those are pretty easy exceptions to insert.
If you're doing pathfinding on game boards and you need optimal paths, fringe search is about twice as fast so long as you don't have differing costs associated with moving through the various squares (like terrain costs for example). It's pretty straight forward, or at least it isn't much more challenging than A*.

Hey guys, I lurk around this thread from time to time and get some tips and such, but I'm looking for your help with a programming concept that you guys will probably laugh at:
Pointers in C.
Specifically, I am talking about pointers in Objective-C (for iOS and iPhone/iPad) but I think as a starting point, I just want to talk about pointers in general. I'll provide a little background in the spoiler (which you can either read of skip; just a little mini-auto-bio of my programming experience so you can see where I'm coming from.
I have a background in C, and I do tons of writing for the web today in ASP/Javascript. I understand some of more advanced topics such as arrays, functions, even classes and object oriented stuff. So in reading books and things like that, I have a pretty easy time transitioning things from C/C# into Objective-C; the syntax isn't all too different and in working through the examples the debugger does a good job of keeping in check; so far it's been pretty easy. I still have no idea how I'm going to take my idea from concept to actual code but for now I'm just brushing up and writing simple console apps until I get a better grasp on the cocoa framework. But all of the books I read keep speaking to memory management and it's not something I've ever had to contend with.
At any rate, I've never had a problem understanding what pointers are (by definition), but when I should use them. In all the material I've read on iOS development, "garbage collection/memory management" is pretty well organized within iOS... but not on the mobile platform of iPhone/iPad, which means actually allocating and de-allocating memory will something I have to deal with. And pointers seem to be key at this.
From what I've read, pointers are key because you can reference them between different objects...? If that makes any sense. Does anyone have any real world examples?
I wouldn't say I hate Python. Just like I don't hate dealing with debugging. It's just an annoying part of my memory and knowledge.
I've been told that it's a good first language to pick up. I'm about 30% of the way through the textbook at this point. Not that I'll be done learning it by any stretch, but I wonder what I should pick up next.
People are telling me C# and Java and Perl and PHP to a lesser extent. Suggestions?
Python is a good language to begin with. It's not gimped like Java and C#, and well, PHP is PHP...
If you really want to dig on languages, learn c/c++

It's pretty easy though, syntactically. And I'm really very interested in concurrent programming, so it's right up my alley.

Yeah, I'm finding out that C is a massive undertaking, and I haven't even gotten to the point where I'm coding anything yet. I'm just finding out how incredibly deep/important binary really is.
Speaking of which, I really really appreciate the help asimperson is giving on binary/everything. They're really going above and beyond. Very impressive.
I want to read the volume label of a mounted CD from Ruby. Google gives me absolutely nothing useful. Any suggestions?
Closest thing was calling system stuff like volname and blkid, but those are platform-specific binaries that may or may not require certain packages installed.

Yeah, if we're talking audio CD, you don't want the volume label, you want a CDDB.
And turns out random samples shows not all of them are properly labeled anyway. Since this will end up with lots of swapping CDs to read (I slapped together a computer with 5 DVD readers), I'll just have a prompt for the volume name when running the script - the disc cases are all properly labeled.

I'd get it working, and then when you insert a CD, present a textbox with the label that was read in it, giving the user the ability to confirm or edit and continue.

Tried it on a random DVD from the pile. Took 11 minutes.
I'll bring a book for when I start the actual run. :P
Also, iPad with python, yea or nay? Is this a thing, or, is it even possible? I am really putting off learning Obj-C.
I like PyQt for classic GUI interfaces.
Or PySide, for those who find the GPL-only license of PyQt too restrictive.
Ah that makes me feel happy.
Is there a Py2exe for more than just windows? I really don't like to have people install runtimes and all that jazz if I can help it.
cx_Freeze claims to support *nix variants. Documentation, sucks, though.
Something I stumbled across was PyInstaller, but I've never used it before. I might give it a try, though.
I used PyInstaller about 2 years ago. I don't remember significant issues to setup an single click executable. I think our team spent ~16 hours learning PyInstaller and setting up the scripts to build the executable which we than used a a base for other projects we had.

}
}
}
}
My first reaction to your creation of Grid is that you have a scope problem, that is every entry in your 3D array is 0 after the for x/y/z loop. But lets assume I'm wrong since you say it's working. If the end goal is to create a 50x50x10 list of "id'd" Coordinate objects then you could have done it in less pass-throughs...
int cntr = 0;
for (int x = 0; x < MAX_X; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < MAX_Y; y++)
{
for (int z = 0; z < MAX_Z; z++)
{
Coordinate c = new Coordinate();
c.X = cntr % 50;
c.Y = (int) Math.Floor(((decimal)cntr % 2500) / 50);
c.Z = (int) Math.Floor((decimal)cntr / 2500);
Coordinates.add(cntr, c);
cntr++;
}
}
}
How is this being accessed? It just feels odd that you create this 3D array that gets thrown away in favor of the dictionary.
Okay, finally have time to work on this again, still crazy.
Set I = "$I"\"\[14\"
Works fine and produces FILE"[14".
Set I = "$I"\"\[14\]\"
Throws a no match error. As far as I can tell because some asshole decided no one would really actually want to escape a pair of brackets in tcsh. Anyone see an obvious screwup?

int cntr = 0; for (int x = 0; x < MAX_X; x++) { for (int y = 0; y < MAX_Y; y++) { for (int z = 0; z < MAX_Z; z++) { Coordinate c = new Coordinate(); c.X = cntr % 50; c.Y = (int) Math.Floor(((decimal)cntr % 2500) / 50); c.Z = (int) Math.Floor((decimal)cntr / 2500); Coordinates.add(cntr, c); cntr++; } } }Set I = "$I"\"\[14\"
Works fine and produces FILE"[14".
Set I = "$I"\"\[14\]\"
Throws a no match error. As far as I can tell because some asshole decided no one would really actually want to escape a pair of brackets in tcsh. Anyone see an obvious screwup?
But seriously, why use division to calculate your X/Y/Z back from an integer when you already have them.
Try '[14]', single quotes.
Edit: I've had entirely too much cold medication.
