danishcake posted:Just to give some follow up to this comment, I doubled the price and noticed no appreciable drop in sales, insofar that there were any. At £1.49 I seem to get a sale every couple of days. What I've found interesting is that it's been downloaded ~4000 times since my last post in this thread, at a greater rate than other projects of mine I think are better. I suspect this is because it gets twice the exposure - people might see the paid for version and seek out the 'Lite' version. Just out of curiosity, what did you use to make these?

Modern Pragmatist posted:How did you go about remapping eject? tl;dr: CGEventTap with voodoo. ntl:dr: Eject is one of the so-called media keys. Along with volume up/down/mute, brightness up/down, and so on, keyDown events for these keys are never sent to your application. The next-lower level to get events has a name: CGEventTap. These are pretty easy to use (minor annoyance notwithstanding). An event tap sends the events we need to a callback function. Using some voodoo that I found on various blogs, websites, CocoaDev posts, and napkin scribbles, I learned that the media keys are of type NX_SYSDEFINED with subtype 8 (whatever that means). Using that, I can tell when an eject keyDown event comes through. If it's unmodified (no command/option/etc. key) I trap it and do my thing. All other events are passed along unharmed. The minor annoyance: for whatever reason, OS X gives your event taps timeouts and simply disables them if they aren't used. The timeout is really short too, in the area of five minutes. Fortunately the OS Is nice enough to tell you that you timed out, and it's easy enough to just reenable the event tap once you realize that this is what's going on. I'll throw the code on github when I think it works OK. I want to make sure it can run for awhile without falling down.

Hey this was my idea   Mine doesn't normalize, but it has exponential decay; I'm playing with the half-life, but 20 minutes seems reasonable. I'm also considering using a logarithmic scale so that stuff like numeric keys will actually show up, but I'm going to let it be user-customizeable as well.

This is actually one of the things that I plan on adding, as well as modifier keys, maybe even tracking specific modifier/key combinations (so if you use emacs a lot, there would be a yellow dot in the lower-left of your x key to represent meta-x).

Tracking the buses in my city with about 100 lines of node.js. I found an API call that gives lat/lon/heading through the bus service's iPhone application. Unfortunately, it only lets you query the information for one bus route at a time so I have to send them 86 requests/sec. The results are sent over to long polling clients every 1 second. I've never used the Google Maps API before, so I haven't done anything interesting on the client side yet. I plan on adding a bunch of client side features like viewing schedules, routes, etc... and putting it up until the service complains about it.

 This motherfucker. An attempt to visualize entromics data, which is basically crazy bullshit with energy levels across a sequence of DNA and looking at which parts affect other parts. So the mountainous looking thing is a map of energy levels against each other (thus the crack in the middle), and the mizbee looking thing is an attempt to show which things probably are related to one another. Qt and OpenGL and boy how do I hate Qt. Basically, a cooperation of a cooperation. I'm working with an IS guy who is working with some bio-med people and this is the end result. He's working on a 2D web-based version of the same data. clockwork automaton fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Dec 5, 2010 |

Bodhi Tea posted:Just out of curiosity, what did you use to make these? I modified the application to save the backbuffer to the SD card every frame, then stitched them together with the GIMP. The interface timing feature of the gimp is the only really annoying missing feature - changing frame timings means renaming layers, so it's hard to get the final frame to last longer than all the rest, though I've figured it out while writing this post - save as gif, forcing all frame times to 20ms, then reopen the gif and change the final layer. Wheeeeeee  I suspect you're asking as you want to take advantage of the new youtube video feature of the Android market. Unfortunately I have no idea how to make videos of Android apps more elegantly than this.

Also, I gently caress around with colors in the HSV colorspace and I was irritated that I can't just create a color that way. I have to create a color and then use setHsv. That's not the only thing I ran into that pissed me off.

That's not the only thing I ran into that pissed me off. I'm running a Qt application within Windows, and with an embedded OpenGL window, and it's in no way slow as hell. Also, I just checked, and it is possible to directly create a QColor object using HSV parameters, so that's not a valid argument either. Then again, maybe I'm biased, because the other big library I have to work with is VTK, which makes Qt seem like a haven of sense and simplicity by comparison.

Care to provide any benchmarks? I've never heard about Qt being slow on Windows. Even massive industry applications like Maya are using Qt these days and I really doubt they'd do that if it was slow as hell.

I've been using QT and embedding an OGRE rendering context and then doing distributed rendering over a cluster and it's certainly not slow (even when using huge framebuffer sizes over Eyefinity).

Mustach posted:I was expecting a hideous macro mess, but this is very readable. Awesome work! Alright, I got "for", "for typedef", and the assert working and I'm really proud of it so check it out! The macro temporarily has a long name because I can't think of a more concise one -- what it does is it checks all of the superficial requirements of the concept, in other words, it will only produce error if the conditions in the concept fail, even if a concept map hasn't been written for the type. This ends up being useful in practice because things like iterators should not be auto concepts, however, since iterators up until now have been written without C++ concept support, you likely just want to check requirements rather than whether or not a programmer explicitly wrote a concept map using my library. There, of course, are asserts that check the latter as well. Here's an example with a basic but contrived binary concept, just to show things off. Note that with the following code the first error, which states that the assertion failed, points to the line where the user invoked the macro. This is where they would most-likely expect to see it. The errors that follow point to the concept definition and tell the user exactly which conditions failed and doesn't mention any that passed. This makes it simple for the programmer to see exactly what went wrong in the context of the concept itself.  The simplicity of the definition and errors hides just how complicated this library actually is. ...just don't ever try to read the code that the concept macro generates Edit: Now an even more concise error message That Turkey Story fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Dec 13, 2010 |

It's been a while but I remember Pop'n Navy, which was for keeping track of Pop'n Music scores and, after searching, there apparently was one for iidx as well (both of which closed down but were resurrected as "Solid State Squad"). Is this related at all to that?
