Scaramouche posted:Yeah this will undoubtedly help with vocabulary but holy cow the grammar is going to be crazy. I believe context is required in many cases for verb conjugation, are you passing the bracketing words too for that, or is it just one word -> un mot style? Yeah, I've more or less written grammar off as a lost cause. The idea is that you'd use it along with a more conventional language-learning thingy. Bracketing words won't really work because you have no way of working out which of the words you sent will map to the ones you got back. Right now there's a minimum word length setting to filter out articles and pronouns, and I'll probably add an option to join adjacent words together before sending them off at some point.

You could solve the problem by translating the whole page then putting in some words, right? I mean Google translate does do some grammar?

Factor Mystic posted:This is an interesting solution. How would you be able to pull out the correct translated word reliably, though? Not at all, I am not sure if Google translate keeps track of which words were translated to what words, and in which placement/tense it translated, maybe it would work because you could track down the word and put it in the right place. It would only be reliable if you translated full paragraphs and replaced them on the sites, and this isn't even reliable since the translations are nonsense some times.

 Don't ask why I have Poland Spring in my contacts, I just do, and I was testing not having first names and seeing how it would react. e: About the project, it's meant to be a task manager, and a people manager, allowing you to manage and allocate people's tasks, still a work in progress, and that's far from done.

I'm not sure how Google fares from english to german (I think the grammatical rules are closer), but even for languages close like French and Spanish, anyone can instantly know it was translated that way, word for word. The best thing to learn, in my opinion, is to use things like subtitled movies you know well. If you can keep either the subtitles or the spoken language in your native language, do it. It'll help you successively compare written vs. spoken languages with translations made by professionals. Avoid comedies though. Most puns get mangled across language boundaries and the translated movie makes no sense.

There was a small bug with the hitting of enemy -> losing a life -> not spawning more enemies. This bug should be now fixed in version 0.2c  And thanks for all the kind words! I really had fun working on this game for a weekend, and I think it turned out pretty well.

Well, OK. It's for a game I'm building, and this is a picture of a branch with most of the assets turned off, but running an experimental method of organising map data to do some pretty cool stuff down the line. Lets just say some of the problems Notch is having with Minecraft oughtn't be a problem for this

I'm really interested in this as I am making some procedural planets and this is the kind of thing I want to end up with! If you would like to share your methods I'd be super happy! Thanks. Right now the noise function is being sampled at each pixel fragment per frame in the pixel shader. I'm going to change it later to render once to a texture. I can render ~10 octaves of noise at 1680x1050 at around 400fps. It seems really fast. I copied most of the ugly stuff from GPU Gems. You should look at this article. There's a link somewhere on that site for the source code and optimized version. I've also got a blog at jetaylor.net you might be interested in. (You may be the only one. It gets like 0 traffic.)

I've had Pwned.com for a few years now and I've learned a ton. About a year and a half ago, my girl had come home from an in-service day (she's a teacher) and told me how it was really helpful when she got to interact with other teachers and how she wished she could do it more often. Fast forward to last Monday, I launched Teacher9.com:     She's started uploading some of her lesson plans to the site. The purpose of the site is for teachers to share lesson plans, interact with eachother and be able to post up local events. It was all built with PHP and MySQL. I used some minimal AJAX (things like sending PMs that don't need a full page refresh) and the obvious XHTML/CSS. My next goal (once I make sure the bugs are all fleshed out) is to make an iPhone app for it. I've done iPhone apps before, so that shouldn't take too long. Anyway, I'm not really sure if it'll be successful or anything, but we have ~23 members so far. There are other teacher social networks out there so I have plenty of competition. It's fun to do though and if it doesn't work out in the end, I enjoyed programming it. I should've launched much sooner, but the project sat on the backburner for almost all of last year because I was really busy with other stuff. 2 weeks ago I came across the code and realized that 90% was done, so I decided to finish it up and launch it. I need to learn marketting now to see if I can spread the word. Also, I'd like to save up for a graphic designer since my graphic skills are extremely limited.

necrobobsledder posted:Not to kill your idea or anything, but do you have any idea how few teachers can afford to have an iPhone? Granted, I know a few that do that's likely in your target demographic, but take a look at some schools and find out if there's enough interest in iPhone apps before you go buy a Mac or something (obviously not a big deal if you already have a Mac and paid for the SDK). I agree in that not many can afford iPhones, but it'd be nice for those that do have them. I do have a Mac Mini and the SDK stuff already. The Mac is only for iPhone development as I'm not a fan of the Mac UI.

Cleaned up the front page a lot. Click here for the full 1366x746 image. Sorry for the huge resolution.. I don't have Photoshop on this machine, so I used Window's Snipping tool. Anyway, I think the front page looks a lot better. Eventually I'd like to completely get rid of that "where do you go from here?" paragraph. Until I can show off each section though, it's staying there. I also built a Javascript/PHP file upload for the lesson plans. I used the generic post-to-iframe technique and it's working well. I tested it with Firefox 3.8 and IE8. I'm thinking that since the users probably aren't on the most advanced machines, I should make sure it supports IE6. I hate IE6. Traffic to the site has been picking up. I've been trying Google AdWords and Facebook advertising. I'm up to 30 members and people are starting to post in the forums. I also had my first lesson plan review from a member. Analytics is telling me that the most popular page is the front page (obviously) with the second most popular being the lesson plan section. Surprisingly, the average visit is ~7mins. I'm assuming this is from reading the summaries on the lesson plans. I'm happy with how it's progressing so far. pokeyman posted:Don't forget iPod touches.

dangerz posted:All my apps are iPhone and iTouch. No sense in building for 1 device when there's barely any difference between the 2. No, I meant don't assume nobody will use an iPhone app because teachers can't afford iPhones, because they can afford iPod touches. Also, the site looks great! If you wanted a more reasonable screenshot, resize the window to a useful size then hit control-printscreen (I think it's control, I always forget so I hold down every modifier key I can find) to get a screenshot of just the active window.

The Mac is only for iPhone development as I'm not a fan of the Mac UI. Sorry to join the anti-iPhone group here but you're a lot better off by creating an actual mobile site which is basically just a super-lightweight version of the website you have (that means no JavaScript, no Flash, no frames, certainly no iframes, no excessive CSS trickery, single page size around 30kb at most...) and then allow the teachers to use that with their phones. Then you can add just another CSS file to fancy up the layout for iPhones afterwards but considering your target audience isn't trendy businessmen the potential effort you'd have to invest into making an iPhone app would be practically wasted. I do like the whole idea of your site though, keep up the good work!
