Intel Penguin posted:For some reason, this sticks out to me as bullshit. That's not a screenshot, it's a photo. Unless the device is part of the sim, but that doesn't make sense. Definitely not bullshit, would you like to seem some actual pictures of the device? Its a procedural trainer that monitors, evaluates and reports treatment decisions. I wrote the original paper on integrating it into an existing military program. After creating a mockup as part of the paper, I was asked to start making a prototype and now two years down the road we're currently in the productizing phase. Maybe I should post a youtube of it in use.

For the last week or so, I've been working on adding a blog system to my website. My site is strictly ColdFusion, and I decided since the blog wasn't really going to be a focal point of my site, that I might as well take an existing package and fit it into my site. I went with BlogCFC (http://www.blogcfc.com). But this is really meant for someone who just wants a personal blog. I had a grander idea - I want all of my (1000+, 187 of which are goons) users to be able to post blog entries as well. But I don't want it all to just get dumped into one giant blog. I wanted to have each user's personal entries on their profile page. Then I'd also have my "site-wide" blog that's for me to post news about the site, etc. BlogCFC = not exactly meant for this. BUT I was able to modify the code heavily and get it working (almost all the way!). Here's BlogCFC's blog page:  BlogCFC's entry page (which is in the BlogCFC Administrator):  Here's my blog page so far:  And here's the entry page each individual user would use:  Technically what I have done to achieve "multiple blogs" out of the one system is just have each user post to their own unique category. So I basically remove all references to categories in the entry and actual blog display. So I can offer RSS feeds for: just my site-wide blog, the site-wide blog + all users, individual users, etc. I'm also going to allow users to rate other users' blogs - and then you can tailor an RSS feed that only gets blogs from highly-rated users. (to weed out all the bullshit a lot of people will write) I also will still have access to BlogCFC's "original" Administrator, where I can moderate all blog entries from one place. I could have built one from scratch, but BlogCFC has a lot of built-in stuff that would have been tedious to build myself. Like the RSS feed, the Digg crap, the comments, comment moderation, the search, etc. Obviously I still need to go in and edit the CSS for my blog display, but that's coming last.  My site is http://www.fourdown.org if anyone wants to check it out. I'll be posting the modified BlogCFC source there (alongside the only other source I have available for download - my jQuery star ratings system - http://www.fourdown.org/code/jq_rating)

Hello Pity posted:Currently information for incorporating companies or changing company details is submitted to Companies House (UK) in an odd coded tag format by email. They're switching to an XML format later this year. I'm making our internal software compliant with this. It may not seem that exciting to most but I have to say - I am interested! I work for the government (HMRC) and in hours of complete boredness in work I read the Government Gateway PDFs about the XML standards etc. Helps pass the time! Do you work for one of the big 4?

Nice stuff guys! Keep 'em coming. On my part I've been working on trying to make some sort of multi-touch sound program similar in a way to the Reactable but a bit more oriented towards DJ performances. Right now this is a simple sound recorder module. I've mainly worked on the interface for now and I've made wobbly windows which are fully graphically updated (if something moves in the window and it's wobbling the content is updated live).

My first ever flash application! For the AIR application I posted earlier, our client requires to be seen to be verifying users ages (because it's a gambling site). For this, I started building a crappy little verification script in JavaScript, but getting the AIR installer to appear nicely wasn't working well, so yesterday I sat down and started to learn Actionscript 3. Today I have build this installer. It's a flash movie with the same age verification logic as before, but when the user clicks to verify it loads another flash movie - either a static "Sorry" message, or it loads the AIR badge for the user to install the app. This part was the hardest - but in the end, all the trouble was because I needed to test in the browser, CS3's inbuilt flash player for debugging is useless. The initial installer screen. It's still very rough until the designer gets her hands on it  This is the AIR installer being invoked into the movie  And the AIR installer loading up  Finally, here is the message if you are underage, a static flash movie

I love this thread. It's always interesting to see what people are working on. My own contribution isn't anywhere near the same level as most of the projects here, but I'm quite pleased with it. Basically, it's a small program that reads a bitmap 'save' file like this:  and turns it into a map for a small game I'm working on, that looks like this:  Click here for the full 646x514 image. Yes, those are Advance Wars graphics. It's not just graphical, each tile holds details such as terrain type, and eventually buildings and units as well. Getting each tile to display the correct 'orientation' (corners, straight up, junctions etc.) was pretty tricky, and all the code related to loading and displaying the map is horrible messy and bloated, but I'm nevertheless pleased with the result. It's one of the most complex things I've made so far, and I've enjoyed it. EDIT: Managed to add in bridges that the loader class automatically inserts and orientates. Also began to place restrictions on what can go where; no buildings in rivers or oceans, for example. Is this a good place to ask other people to take a look at code, and ask for advice, or would the appropriate language megathread be more suited?

A small deferred renderer in OpenGL and GLSL. Nothing to fancy so far, just building the G-buffer.  Click here for the full 800x800 image. Top Left: World Coordinates Top Right: Normals Bottom Left: Diffuse Color Bottom Right: Depth Buffer I know that holding both the Depth Buffer and the World Coordinates themselves is unnecessary (as one can be used to compute the other). My end goal is to use it to do some underwater lighting effects ive been working on, and also because its fun!

I've been working on a simple little zombie game in python, and it just hit the "fun" mark. It's basically a ripoff of Zomband, a zombie roguelike. I thought the game was great, but had some ideas to make it better, so I made my own. Still needs a bunch of tweaks, but I'll post it in games in a few weeks (I'm about to leave for the desert for a while, so I won't have any chance to work on it until I get back in September).

I've been working on this "Space Invaders" project off and on for a few months now. It's written in Java. In January I bumped into some of my old code from a games programming class I took in college. It was so horrible I could hardly believe that I had written it. I wanted to work on a simple game where I could put my focus on writing clean, elegant code. The game itself was almost secondary; I just wanted to make sure that, given the same project, I wouldn't wind up with another mess. It's 99% done. I think I want to redo those bullet images and change a few of the sound effects but otherwise I'm pretty much done. I think I made the game engine general enough that I can use it on other projects. On my machine, it can handle a few thousand sprites at 100FPS:  Click here for the full 1680x1050 image. If I run it through a profiler it looks like the Java2D calls are the bottleneck (i.e. Graphics2D.drawImage()) so I'll either have to switch to something like LWJGL or just man up and move on to C++ with the big boys. On the plus side, my game engine is extensible enough such that I could swap out all this graphics stuff without much of a hassle (just need to implement 3 interfaces: DrawingSurface, GameImage and GameImageFactory).

For my CS senior project (graduating with my degree on the 17th woot!) I created "P.O.M" - Project Organizer and Manager . Its a web-based project management software. I was focusing on keeping it simple and clean. Even though its web-based (therefor in browser) I tried to make it as much like a desktop app as possible (drop down menus, floating windows that are draggable, no page loads except for login/logout). Here are a few screen shots for you. (click for bigger, its my site so its not leeching) Login-screen  User dashboard (after login)  Opening a project  Viewing history  viewing project report( reports can be printed ad display statistics and a general overview of projects/tasks)  Managing project users (you can add/remove users and edit their abilities in the project)  viewing messages  Creating a custom skin (you can change over 40 display aspects of the program)  It's pretty much complete, But I'm still improving it and I plan on releasing it as open source as soon as I feel its ready (I'm sure there are alot of people who can add alot to this).

I've never heard of GEM (after googling I'm guessing you mean the guild manager) so I do not know anything about it. I have used activeCollab and base camp. I had to build something for Senior project that would be complicated enough to show off what I've "learned" in College, yet easy enough to finish in 3 months. So I decided to make my own. It's deffinetly not as complex as others out there, but I'd like to think its somewhere close. DLCinferno posted:Looks slick! I bet you got a good grade. Nice work. Thanks ( final grade: A- )

Subtitle editor for the rendering engine I built: Oops didn't realise how big it was. Right now I'm working on getting the text to be auto-sized in the same way it would be in the renderer. The main point of the program is to take multiple SRT files and combine them into a single multi-track format file, and also to optimize line breaks within subtitles to maximize the resulting font size.
