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.

Yes it's insufficient. That's only made for a single monitor + 1 being enabled/disabled.

So DisplaySwitch /internal /external or /extend and all that fails as well? I don't have my third monitor to test that on hand anymore

What card do you have? I know my ATI/AMD card is weird and can't do certain things, like 2DVI+1HDMI exhibits weird behavior, but 2DVI+1DP is somehow ok.

Do you want all three to be on at the same time? If not this guy may have a solution for you: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/archive/index.php/t-66282.html

And I suppose you could always try getting DisplayFusion and using their hotkeys: http://www.displayfusion.com/Features/Functions/

I've got three extended normally on the video card and a fourth that I extend as desired on my mobo. Assuming displayswitch works the same as win+p, it wouldn't work. It's already set to extended when I bring it up and I don't want to use the other options like projector only or mirror.

I've been trying to use an AHK script from 2007, but it doesn't work (probably a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue).

If you can get it to work via rightclick -> screen resolution, maybe play around with autohotkey? That'd be a seriously ugly hack of a solution though.

Yes it works done manually. I have been working with AHK, but I might just switch to IronAHK the next time I approach it if there isn't a solution OOTB.

Ok so I just got asked to see if a HTML5 app could see our capture cards and stream them, scrounged together a basic script to get a capture.

Actually pretty interesting stuff, except I don't know shit about HTML5 and for the life of me can't seem to find what I want in documentation, despite knowing that these are rudimentary questions about JS.


navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia;

var constraints = {video: true};

function successCallback(localMediaStream) {
window.stream = localMediaStream; // stream available to console
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(localMediaStream);
var video = document.querySelector("video");
video.play();
}

function errorCallback(error){
console.log("navigator.getUserMedia error: ", error);
}

navigator.getUserMedia(constraints, successCallback, errorCallback);


There is the script I found, I took it from http://www.simpl.info/getusermedia/.

Now I need someone to tell me how to find out more about this, specifically whats going on in successCallback.

window.stream - I can only assume window is some kind of class representing the window, where can I find the documentation?

video.src - again I can only assume some kind of class, can't find documentation for the life of me.

I'm guessing the guy who wrote this now just wants to confuse me by making a new variable called video and that has a play() method.

Seriously I just want someone to tell me how I can find documentation for this, I usually work with the windows api so I'm used to just searching msdn for any information I need, don't even know where to begin with JS as there just seems to be so much crap out there. I need to start looking into how to stream this next but I feel like this would be a good opportunity for me to learn a bit of JS as I work in C and high level languages confuse me.

Hey guys, I need help with Objective C. I'm majorly new to this language.

There is an assignment for me to create a city, a delivery item and a robot. Ok, the delivery item is generated easily, but how can I do so for the city and the robot? You may see code below:

- (void) turnleft {
// enum values are,really, integers between 0 and #count-1
if (d>1) d -=2;
else if (d==1) d=7;
else if (d==0) d=6;
}

- (void) pick: (Delivery *) x {
NSLog(@"Picking an object");
backpack = x;
}

- (Delivery *) drop {
NSLog(@"Dropping an object");
Delivery * res = [[Delivery alloc] init];
[res setStreet:[backpack street]];
[res setAvenue:[backpack avenue]];

- (void) genNewDelivery {

Basically, what should be changed in 'main' if it is the only file to be changed for my question?
I'm clueless whether I've created a city or not. The PDF below doesn't help me much.

MDN is probably your best bet when it comes to HTML/JS/DOM/CSS.

OOORRRR you could've googled "js docs" and found exactly that.

Yea thanks for the tip, I actually did check there but window.stream doesn't appear to be on there so I have no idea beyond a best guess what that is and whilst Document.querySelector suggests that video is an element there doesn't appear to be a play() or anything to suggest I could find it elsewhere. With regards to the video, its capturing a 720p source at 240p and I want to find if the API has anything I can do about that, figured if I found the play() function I'd find out what else I can do.

So what am I missing because clearly I've jumped in a bit over my head and I'm missing something obvious which should make this all click. I'm not used to OO docs so maybe I'm just being stupid on that front but this isn't as obvious as you might think it is to someone who hasn't done it before.

EDIT:

So I found the HTMLMediaElement Interface which defines play, still no idea where the stream property for window comes from though.

You've got the alloc and init on an instance of City. That looks good to me as it is. Unless I'm not understanding what you mean by "Generate"?

Thanks everyone

I guess I really lack the front-end stuff to apply it, though. I've been getting away with knowing just enough to do basic stuff I learned from web framework books. Now my weakness is growing on me, especially dealing with stuff like ajax, json and jquery (even though I already know basic javascript).

Can anybody recommend me some books/online resources for someone at my stage? It's just so much easier to pick up a decent web framework and language book/resource than to start learning front-end programming that connects the two, rather than front-end by itself. Most of the time, it's either too basic or way too complicated for my level.


The JQuery documentation is a practical solution.
I find learning things from a project standpoint works best for me, I have a goal of something to build and then I learn what is necessary to accomplish that goal. Gives me a purpose, rather than attempting to aimlessly learn a whole subject, expecting a book or some other resource to guide me perfectly.

I'm clueless whether I've created a city or not. The PDF below doesn't help me much.

*If you have time*, could you also please help with printing the grid?

You've got the alloc and init on an instance of City. That looks good to me as it is. Unless I'm not understanding what you mean by "Generate"?


I guess what I'm asking is, how do I make sure the city and the robot are created and ready to use on a grid?

Hey guys, I need help with Objective C. I'm majorly new to this language.

I guess what I'm asking is, how do I make sure the city and the robot are created and ready to use on a grid?

Based on the constraints outlined in the exercise (at least my understanding of them), it looks like there really isn't a grid. It's inferred based on the size of the grid (city.size), which represents the square size of the city (e.g., 5 = 5x5). The objects that reside in the city (robot, delivery) have x and y coordinates (street, avenue) that determine the position within the grid that they exist. So if you want to know whether the city and robot are created and ready to use on a grid, you can probably get away with just a basic NSLog output on City.Robot.Street and City.Robot.Avenue. This will tell you three things: (1) City and Robot are not nil, (2) your robot exists in the city's robot variable and it is not nil, and (3) your robot in the city has x/y coordinates.

Only thing I didn't see are the random initial coordinates for the robot. It looks like they aren't set, so they'll be 0,0 everytime.

Alright, thanks. I'll have a go tomorrow once I get an access to a Mac computer. I kind of wish the PDF didn't have so vague requirements though.

Someone told me to describe Flash API. I've been searching like a maniac and cant find anything about that. Are there even a thing called Flash API?

Ok so I just got asked to see if a HTML5 app could see our capture cards and stream them, scrounged together a basic script to get a capture.

Actually pretty interesting stuff, except I don't know shit about HTML5 and for the life of me can't seem to find what I want in documentation, despite knowing that these are rudimentary questions about JS.


navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia;

var constraints = {video: true};

function successCallback(localMediaStream) {
window.stream = localMediaStream; // stream available to console
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(localMediaStream);
var video = document.querySelector("video");
video.play();
}

function errorCallback(error){
console.log("navigator.getUserMedia error: ", error);
}

navigator.getUserMedia(constraints, successCallback, errorCallback);


There is the script I found, I took it from http://www.simpl.info/getusermedia/.

Now I need someone to tell me how to find out more about this, specifically whats going on in successCallback.

window.stream - I can only assume window is some kind of class representing the window, where can I find the documentation?

video.src - again I can only assume some kind of class, can't find documentation for the life of me.

I'm guessing the guy who wrote this now just wants to confuse me by making a new variable called video and that has a play() method.

Seriously I just want someone to tell me how I can find documentation for this, I usually work with the windows api so I'm used to just searching msdn for any information I need, don't even know where to begin with JS as there just seems to be so much crap out there. I need to start looking into how to stream this next but I feel like this would be a good opportunity for me to learn a bit of JS as I work in C and high level languages confuse me.


MDN is probably your best bet when it comes to HTML/JS/DOM/CSS.

OOORRRR you could've googled "js docs" and found exactly that.


Yea thanks for the tip, I actually did check there but window.stream doesn't appear to be on there so I have no idea beyond a best guess what that is and whilst Document.querySelector suggests that video is an element there doesn't appear to be a play() or anything to suggest I could find it elsewhere. With regards to the video, its capturing a 720p source at 240p and I want to find if the API has anything I can do about that, figured if I found the play() function I'd find out what else I can do.

So what am I missing because clearly I've jumped in a bit over my head and I'm missing something obvious which should make this all click. I'm not used to OO docs so maybe I'm just being stupid on that front but this isn't as obvious as you might think it is to someone who hasn't done it before.

EDIT:

So I found the HTMLMediaElement Interface which defines play, still no idea where the stream property for window comes from though.

So I think your difficulty is in not understanding how JS works, not so much the API here, so I will annotate the source to explain

// this line normalizes any browser-specific implementations. since getUserMedia is a fairly recent
// addition, browsers will often start to implement the spec (or implement while testing an
// experimental spec) under a prefixed API
navigator.getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia;

var constraints = {video: true};

function successCallback(localMediaStream) {
// this isn't accessing a variable at all, its creating one. It's creating a global variable named
// 'stream' (likely to be used somewhere else in a script, but not by this one)
window.stream = localMediaStream; // stream available to console

// this line makes no sense, its setting a property on a variable before the variable gets set
// (or declared, however due to hoisting this will probably not even cause an error in strict
// mode, although it doesn't do what you want). You should at the very least move this line
// below the 'var video' line.
video.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(localMediaStream);

// This sets the local variable 'video' equal to the first element in the document with the
// tagname 'video' (that is, the first <video> tag)
var video = document.querySelector("video");
// This calls the #play() function on the <video> tag (and you are correct, such an
// element would implement the HTMLMediaElement)
video.play();
}

function errorCallback(error){
console.log("navigator.getUserMedia error: ", error);
}

navigator.getUserMedia(constraints, successCallback, errorCallback);


Hope that helps, but if it does not get you to a point you'd like, you may prefer this guide: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/getusermedia/intro/

I forgot you mentioned you wanted some help with printing the grid.

There are certainly many ways to do this. I personally would go with two functions in the City class:

(1) A function that generates a 2-dimensional array of values where each value represents a point on the grid. Look at the robot and the delivery object and use their street/avenue properties to fill out the appropriate objects in the array with a "D" or "R".

(2) A function that accepts a 2-dimensional array of values and prints it out to the screen.

Is there no other context at all? I assume they are referring to Adobe Flash. I know almost nothing about programming Flash except that I seem to remember from like 10 years ago when I tried messing with the Flash developer software that you can write JS scripts for it. Googling for 2 minutes gave me this:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html?filter_flashplayer=11.7

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActionScript_3

I haven't looked much beyond that, but it seems that is what you want.

Hey guys, was hoping someone could help me out again real quick. I'm trying to make a vector-based heap of std:: pairs. My solution seems to be identical to the one they provided us with, but somehow it doesn't work. When I try to do something like this:


heap[1] = item(k, e);


the program crashes.

item is defined as:

typedef std::pair<int, string> item;

heap's a class variable, defined as:

std::vector<item> heap;


I appreciate any help.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Does heap actually have any items in it? You're assigning to the second element in heap, but if heap doesn't have a second element, it'll just crash.

That's just a guess without more code though.
