So...What projects are you coding lately?

[human_error]

Oh ... and here are some bad programming jokes because we all need a break once in awhile.

havn't heard most of those before

you gonna release this game? :O

when i finish it or at least get it to a decent level of completion - been busy for a couple of weeks but i'll be tearing through it from now till mid-Jan, i still don't have my textures loading (put it off again for other features).

My current projects include a programming website
http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=111047&page=2

and when I get home from vacation, I will be working on a buy/sell game program (sort of like the old-school drug wars, minus a gooey)

after I finish that, I will continue on to a small RPG with a semi-GUI based on text. These are very simple programs to get me back into programming.

Sometime in the future, I will be programming a finance tracker, then working on a fairly large project, which will be my first full-featured game (could be a very long project)

All of this will be programmed in JAVA (as far as I know so far).

Soon thereafter I will switch to JavaFX and develop for iPhones for a bit.

After a good while, when the site is up and running, and im programming on a regular basis, I will work on an independent project and attempt to get it published.

is that an OS?

it is basically ubuntu running xfce stripped of most apps with solaris utility dvd added.

xfce? xD
and solarius utility.. is made by Solaris17 yes? (my common sense coming into play :O)

I am coding firmware for next-gen server NICs at work (C), working on optimizing network latencies as part of my M.Sc research (C, Python, Java) and coding a "Fast Bilateral Filter" in OpenCL (C, C++, CL) for another uni project...this kind of sums it up.

almost correct. its suse codebase with minimalistic gnome. however since then iv switched to the more flexable ubuntu codebase and removed the dvd. i decided to keep the projects seperate that and the iso size wasnt remotely necissary.

I am looking forward to starting work on a iPhone based Augmented Reality game/app/thingy. But need to gather some serious funds and a team. I'll have to stick to web design for the timebeing.

Im currently learning java, do you have any experience?

i know an ok amount of Java. if you are just starting out and have question i can help you and if i cant i know someone who can. but make sure that before you ask you arent simply expecting people to do the work for you.

You're having more fun than I am.

I thought I was nearing the final leg of my ERP project when feature creep reared it's ugly head again. Pretty substantially this time too. I'll have to modify code in almost all the modules.

I need a really interesting coding project, but I can't think of anything recently. DOH !!

Well, last week I found out one of the customers decided to request more features for the device. Architecture team agreed, so I get to code more stuff on a pretty tight schedule. Thankfully I am two weeks ahead of the schedule as it stands right now.

Customer says, customer gets. The switch between the academia and the industry on a daily basis is enough to drive me up the walls sometimes.....just sooooo different thinking.

How about a LUA (scripting language, apparently) compiler/decompiler? XD

are you coding ERP for a provider like Oracle or are you creating your own?

 

[Kreij]

The ERP code is written as a front end for a MS Sql Server database.

@Ford : I said interesting !!! I would rather sit in my own feces and watch my feet being chewed off by rabid hampsters than write a compiler.

@Yuki : Welcome to dealing with customers. You are correct in that whoever is paying for the code gets what they want. Don't think of it as frustrating, think of it as job security.

 

[TIGR]

I'm afraid I'm probably nowhere near the level of the "real coders" here. Just learning as I go. I'm working on PHP for the web site of a BFBC2/CoD4/MW2 clan some friends and I are starting. Creating a member ranking system integrated with forums, member profiles, and server stats, creating a database for other clans to connect with each other and with players looking for clans, as well as a "duty schedule" if you will for server/forum admins/moderators. Nothing too interesting I'm afraid but hey, it's what I'm working on!

 

[Kreij]

It is interesting TIGR, I developed a site several years ago for the Everquest guild I belonged to. It was lots of fun. The guild (and the site) have long been gone, but the coding experience was priceless. It also gave me a much greater appreciation for the moderators on sites like TPU

 

[TIGR]

Thanks Kreij, and yeah it is a great learning experience. When I started being involved in web design for online gaming clans I really only knew a bit of HTML, and it forced me to reverse engineer a lot of PHP code. It is thanks to that, that I am now able to write my own PHP and create and manipulate my own MySQL databases rather than just use the work of others, and that feels good.

Indeed. Here it is worse, the customers pay for the Hardware - So stuff needs to be in the ROM before the chip tapes out.

But you're right about jobsec - The amount of features nobody knows anything about but me is growing daily.

I'm not coding but im trying to do start up a webhosting business for a friend.

Working on some stuff here in VB, just for fun...

Started with one problem, now I am just having a good time coding some programs for the challenge of it.

 

[Kreij]

I've been watching that thread PTV. I like how you went from "How to do a DOS command in VB" to making your own media player and RAR detector.

Kind of like how I do things when learning. "Hey, I got XNA to draw a triangle on the screen. Time to start on a 3D space combat simulator".

Too bad it is only a hobby and not a job (majoring in Mechanical Engineering, not Computer Science)... My eventual finished program (relating to dos) that sent messages across the school network made it easy for lots of computer n00bs, and was pretty funny! Anyway, I never was making a media player, I was trying to figure out how to embed midi. I spent about 4 hours on that, then said it was not that important. Next I made a rar and jpg combiner, now I want to DETECT when a hidden rar is detected... ala, "I wonder if this file has something in it I don't know about?" Also, example attached, it is a jpg that is also containing a rar. Just rename it to .rar instead of .jpg, and a rar will appear. Used by some people to his illegal material... I just put in a batch file into the rar. Anyway...

EDIT: BTW a little more on the media player or whatever you want to call it, I got the midi file to play PERFECTLY when it was called from the computer, but when I attempted call it from the program as an embedded resource, it failed, so hard. Apparently, I need to use wav... but who wants to use a wav file that is the same thing when it is 20.8mb when my midi file was 52kb. I sure don't.
