Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. |

That's the thing about C/C++:
The advantage: You have way more control. The disadvantage: You have way more control.

The Dueling Network Runescape Games you don't have to download and are able to play on the browser are called Browser Based games.
Can someone recommend me some things I may need to learn in order to be able to do this?

Pretty much any web technology. Flash is a big player in browser-based games.

runescape is a java applet
you have to download java to play it.

Runescape is actually written with an inhouse version of Java. Jagex will be one of the places i will applying to for internship ^_^

Javascript with HTML5 let's you do pretty sick stuff, especially in modern browsers which use sufficiently fast javascript engines. At the moment it's only really viable for 2D, but there is a standard for 3D in the works as well. A few years from now, you'll probably be hard pressed to find new browser games made in anything other than javascript.

Here's a pretty cool recent project from some of the nodejs guys: http://voxeljs.com/

Hey guys!
I got a C# MVC Web Application running, with a problem (i guess it's a missunderstanding on my side). There is a View wich lists a List of Items in a beforehand specified Room, including a form with one textbox. In this Textbox you can put a identification wich relates to one item. So my idea was the following: you chose a room, an get the list of items in that room. if you input a identification the controller changes the state of the identified item and returns the model back to the same view. (the model is not in the db context, and I only change values directly) The problem i got: 1. he remembers the input identification even if i set the value of the model to string.Empty 2. only remembers the last state-change (aka on a second input identifier, the first one goes back to his original state and the newly input one changes)
I'm not that familiar with all the c# mvc concepts, so my latest guess is: i need to bind the model to the database context and set the EntityState.Modified. But i do not want the model in the DB, also I only want to save the changes once to the DB.
below are the models (simplified, cause they got some other unrelated properties) the models in the database context:
public class Room { public Guid RoomID { get; set; } ... public virtual ICollection<Items> Items { get; set; } } public class Items { public Guid ItemID { get; set; } ... public Guid RoomID { get; set; } public virtual Room Room { get; set; } } }
and here the models i just use for the views:
public class RoomScan { get; set; } { public ItemState ICollection<Items> Items { get; set; } ... } public class ItemState { public Item Item { get; set; } public bool Active { get; set; } }
I hope you understand my problem! and any help is appreciated

Just a little question for some more experienced C++ programmers. Do you think it is ok to use typedef to shorten types that gets really long?
In the project I'm working on, I work with std::map<std::string, std::vector<sf::Sound*>>, which I have typedefed as soundMap

First argument = where to store the input Second argument = the maximum number of characters (bytes) to read, most often the size of the buffer given in the first argument Third argument = file to read from, stdin = standard input, if you're running your program from a terminal, it will be what the user types into it
Also, if you were writing a serious program, it would be a good idea to check the return value. If it's NULL, then either end-of-file was reached or an error occured.

I can't remove the abstraction, however, because then I get the error (Speaking of classes CSInfoCore through Electives) that you can't edit an abstract method without an abstract class.

I'm not a Java guru, but it should work if you keep Core abstract and make all other classes non-abstract. There's something wrong with compareTo(), too... casting to Course like that is bad OOP. Also, when asking for help on a forum, try posting a minimal (but complete) amount of code that still doesn't work as you would expect instead of dumping contents of 10 files.
E: sorry, this compareTo thing is fine, I think... I'm just bad with Java

So I have this little problem to solve:
You are in charge of recording marks for a group of students. Input a list of marks. Input ends with 0 (0 itself is not someone's mark). Output the number of students who scored 1) greater than or equal to 85; 2) between 60 and 84; 3) strictly less than 60.
Sample Input 88 71 68 70 59 81 91 42 66 77 83 0
I just need a hint how to get input like this in C. Also, how should I go about storing marks? Is this a dynamic memory (heap) matter? I already know about getchar and scanf, but are they enough? Maybe getchar() and putchar()?
Please don't bother to give me the solution. I just need a little help. 
Thanks.
