Amazing, I'd read about that extension but the whole X thing scared me away, and no one I asked knew where to look for it in Gtk.  Edit: Apparently that only blocks the window from accepting focus/being brought to the foreground by clicking on it, but I really want to let clicks go through to the windows that are already below it. Sounds like my shape thing is broken!! Edit: Found some example C code that didn't work as advertised but was click-through anyway. welp.

Baby's first game: Two days into creating a game with Haskell and OpenGL (both of which I'm already familiar with), mostly as something to keep me busy So far I have: - hex based movement - A*ish pathfinding - impassable terrain - drawing boards and paths - changing the ends of the path with the keyboard https://github.com/Swooshed/Game-of-Hexes If anybody has any suggestions or code improvements, I'd love to hear them. VVVVVV: a two-coordinate system, where the two axes are | and /. Movement in the \ direction is a combination of movement in the other two. See HexGrid.hs for a comment explaining it in more depth. Something a bit like the first image in this answer but rotated 90°. gonadic io fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Dec 28, 2011 |

Quick and dirty visualisation of the Mandelbrot set using pygame. Code is here if anyone is interested or has any suggestions to make. Next I need to put it in an event loop and give mouse control to move about / zoom.

I did a quick 'n' dirty javascript benchmark with https://cloudlab.io today. It turns out that the CLR-bound math is faster than the latest browsers. That's a good thing, and I haven't even begun optimization. But then again, homebrew benchmarks can be wrong. That and I'm sure that those js arrays are sparse ones (which would be inferior, discounting all that JIT poo poo).

Been working on this for my robotics coursework, and I'm pretty pleased with how it's starting to turn out.  The rightmost window is the robot simulator I'm using for testing, Bottom left is the program that actually controls the robot, it follows a wall to some degree and collates telemetry from the robot. Top right connects via tcp/ip to the robot program to collect the telemetry and render it on the window in the middle. Things I've got to do still, some more behaviors as well as some proper mapping.

 I've been working on a Mobipocket/Kindle-compatible ereader, written in C++/Qt, for CV/yes-I-can-prove-I-can-code-here's-my-github purposes - I'm looking to move back to the UK from America, preferably to Oxford, in the near future. Not much to see in a screenshot, really, because it's an ereader, but here it is laying out text like a boss. I've been learning Latin lately, so I've added support for looking up words in a dictionary (more complicated than you'd think because Latin is highly inflected; you can't just go look up 'egisti' in the dictionary and find out it means 'I led/did' because the verb's going to be listed in the dictionary under 'ago'). I'm developing under desktop Linux and testing on my Android tablet, but it should work anywhere Qt does. I also intend to add support for an overlay/filter that'll let me correct misspellings without actually altering the book file on disc.

Because the overlay is a separate file there are no copyright implications; basically you'd just drop the overlay file in the same directory as you keep your books (so /sdcard/kindle in the case of Android) and magically your book will suck less.

I do plan on building a game around this eventually, but right now my frame rate is in the shitter so I need to get this optimized before I go on to working on game play.

It may not be technically legal, but I've never heard of anyone being sued over it, since it still requires you to have your own (presumably legitimate) copy of the source material.

I'm sure it's a violation of the DMCA somehow and you might have a problem if you released an overlay for Harry Potter that changed "wand" to "wang" or something.

My reader only handles unencrypted mobi files, so hopefully that puts any DRM/DMCA problems out of the picture, and as I see it it doesn't actually create or alter a work at all - the book on disc isn't being modified in any way, after all, you just get an alteration in what you see on-screen - it's more like when you use the annotation support some ereaders have. That said, since I am only handling unencrypted files, that means I'm working with books that are either in the public domain (I can trust that Julius Caesar won't be taking me to court, I think) or where the author is releasing his stuff for free anyway (like Peter Watts)

Whats your render time for that? e: Protip if you want to make some money off that thing. Heaps of architects (incl student architects) use Google Sketchup to do visualization for stuff. But sketchup doesnt really do realistic visualisation at all. Make a webservice that people can upload their sketchup drawings (you might need to do a plugin using the SDK to deal with materials) and get a render for, like , $15 or something and you'll have heaps of people using it, since the big name ray-tracers are horrifically expensive, and architects just want something they can poo poo out a realistic rendering they can give to a client. So write a plugin that lets them say "This is a wall, thats a floor, this is a roof, outside is some grass, and heres a pool" and do a few test renders (I dunno, make these free but watermarked and lower res) and then when happy get a big rear end rendering back to pitch a client with. Do it with a webservice at the backend so you can just bill by the render, and you'll make money hand-over-fist. .....and then get aquired by autodesk. duck monster fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Jan 9, 2012 |

Wheelchair Stunts posted:What part of copyright law says this is okay due to it being a separate file? I thought a derivative work is a derivative work? Copyright generally is about distribution rights, not useage rights. Generally useage rights are contractual grants of rights rather than copyright. Its a bit messy and the two tend to get mangled together in some of the more messier modern incarnations of "copyright" law like the DMCA and this loving SOPA abomonation being proposed. Basically traditionally copyright just covered copying to someone else without permission. You where allowed to possess stuff you didn't pay for, and do whatever the gently caress you wanted with it, you just couldn't give it to people without permission. This was the same for patents too by the way (and I believe still is). You can violate the gently caress out of patents, you just cant distribute your derivitive invention. One of the side effects of this when software started to come into the picture was EULAs where literally not worth the paper they where written on, and judges tended to basically say unless the person has signed a contract theres nothing in copyright law that makes a eula valid because copyright law does not affect useage, just distribution. This of course meant that record companies gnashing their teeth about people making cassette tape copies of LPs they owned for listening to in the car did not get a particularly receptive audience with judges who where adamant that making copies for yourself is fine, because you can do whatever the gently caress you want with stuff as long as you don't give it to someone else. So thats sort of why the DMCA came about with its restrictions on copy protection circumvention. Actually changing copyright law to allow EULAS to apply just by opening the packet (including the clusterfuck where the EULA is inside the packet, and you agree to it by opening it) really was going a bit too far and had a *LOT* of far reaching consequences outside of copyright (eg "by opening the packet to allow yourself to read this sentence you hae agreed that your house is now the posession of microsoft.") , having a click thru agreement seems a fairly good compromise. Arguably the click-thru always was valid (it was really shrink-wrap that was the problem), but there was a work-aroun where you could hack the code (rememeber until you agree with the eula, it doesnt apply!) so that it would install without you having to agree with it, which was perfectly valid pre DMCA. Where it gets interesting is that in most of the world its STILL legal to download music(etc) you havent paid for , just not copy it to someone else. Which is why usenet is mostly legal for the downloader and torrents are mostly definately not legal (because your uploading to others). I don't know if this is the case in the US. But I've *never* heard of record companies going after usenet users or people downloading of :files: sites. So in the case of an app that lets you read a possibly dodgy document and makes changes to it. As long as it doesn't crack the encryption or upload it anywhere, I'm pretty certain it does not violate the DMCA . Most PDF readers let you annotate PDFs, even ones with encryption on it, for instance. Of course I'm not a lawyer, so don't take this as advice or you'll get in ridiculous amounts of trouble, probably.

steckles posted:Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, the render times are similar to commercial ray tracers like Maxwell for most realistic scenes. You're looking at 8-10 hours or more on a 4ghz quad core for a reasonably noise-free image. I guess you could do something with cloud computing to avoid the huge up front investment in computing power you'd need. But then again, it doesn't matter if it takes the same amount of time; the customer doesn't have to pay an incredible amount of money to get a render done. Even if it takes a day, that's much better than paying lots of money. Perhaps if you decided to do it, you could have some sort of system for, like, $15 for 720p, $25 for 1080p, $40 for a huge image? Just base the prices around how much it takes in electricity, and potentially invest in cloud computing if the service kicks off.
