Use this thread to say anything about programming.

Including questions, suggestions, small programs, etc.

I just compiled a C++ program that loads a Java VM (Sable's) and runs a Hello World class in it.

And it even worked.

Also, I have a SVN account for KDE4. Beat that.

Nope. And here, we only use the java.net.* package to nuke each other's comp.

I once looked at some Ruby code, but never written anything in it.

Hey Amarth, quick Perl question. Suppose I wanted an IRC bot to reset itself... that is, disconnect totally, load all settings from scratch, and reconnect? Without closing it down, modifying the settings, and restarting it, obviously. ;P

I don't know... Custom code, I think. Provide subroutines for those three things and they're easily reused.

No, really?

I know how to disconnect... that's fairly easy. However, when I do that, it kind of stops running. I want it to reconnect with a fresh batch of settings (so perhaps reconnect isn't the right term

).

Well, the POE kernel will quit if you unregister for all events. Don't unregister the events if you don't want it to quit. Or perhaps unregistering and re-registering them in one quick pass (ie, in the same subroutine) also doesn't quit the run() method, I don't know.

Unless you quit by sending POCOIRC_SHUTDOWN, that seems to be some new way of doing it. Then don't send that and disconnect manually.

Another way would be to set up a loop that only quits when some flag 'trulyreallyabsolutelypositivelywantstoquit' evaluates to true. While the flag is false, register for all events, load settings and start the bot.

Anyway, I don't know what your code is all about, I don't know how you read and write settings, how you quit, how you connect, ... in your code. For what I know, we might be talking about different things here ('I want to reconnect, but reconnect is not the right word' - am I supposed to understand you?

). Don't expect me to read your mind.

I was SO close to saying "No, you should beat it." when I saw this...

Perfect, that's what I should do.

I could've sworn I've shown you MageBot's code at some point or another. Hell, you half-wrote most of it.

I'm trying to make a Piet Interpreter. But for now, I have no idea on how to get the hue and darkness differences between two colours.

It's all 4chan related.

Because serious posts require serious replies.

Anyways its all based in perl and compiled, etc etc all the jumbo of creating your own reference.

Perl code is compiled, then run. The only difference is that the compiled version is generally not saved.

By "Generally not saved", do you mean that there's no way to do it whatsoever, or that nobody wants to because the language compiles fast enough to make transferring the code more economical?

I'd say the latter.

Pretty much, yeah. Plain text code is easier to deal with. Perl compiles & runs it fairly quickly, so it's more convenient to keep everything in code form. You could, of course, compile Perl code into an executable... but unless you're making a program you intend to distribute to people who don't have cygwin, I don't see the point.

Also note that compiled = processor architecture+OS dependant. Thus extremely unportable.

You might all use Windows + x86, but the FOSS world doesn't really care too much about Windows.

My Visual Basic code to convert a Hex value into a Dec value isn't working. Could someone check?
txtHex holds the Hexadecimal value.

Private Hexs() As Integer

Private Sub cmdConvert_Click()
Dim Final As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim lengh As Long
lengh = Len(txtHex.Text)
ReDim Hexs(lengh) As Integer
For i = 1 To lengh
    If Not IsNumeric(Mid(txtHex.Text, i, 1)) Then
        Select Case Mid(txtHex.Text, i, 1)
        Case "A": Hexs(lengh - i) = 10
        Case "B": Hexs(lengh - i) = 11
        Case "C": Hexs(lengh - i) = 12
        Case "D": Hexs(lengh - i) = 13
        Case "E": Hexs(lengh - i) = 14
        Case "F": Hexs(lengh - i) = 15
        End Select
    Else
        Hexs(lengh - i) = Int(Mid(txtHex.Text, i, 1))
    End If
Next i
Final = 0
For i = 1 To lengh
Final = Final + Hexs(i) * 16 ^ (lengh - i)
Next i
txtDec.Text = Final
End Sub

Yay, about everything I hate about VB in one post. Anyway, one solution that works for me is

    Private Sub cmdConvert_Click()
        Dim Final As Long
        Dim i As Long
        Dim lengh As Long
        lengh = Len(txtHex.Text)
        Dim Hexs(lengh) As Integer
        For i = 1 To lengh
            If Not IsNumeric(Mid(txtHex.Text, i, 1)) Then
                Select Case Mid(txtHex.Text, i, 1)
                    Case "A" : Hexs(i) = 10
                    Case "B" : Hexs(i) = 11
                    Case "C" : Hexs(i) = 12
                    Case "D" : Hexs(i) = 13
                    Case "E" : Hexs(i) = 14
                    Case "F" : Hexs(i) = 15
                End Select
            Else
                Hexs(i) = Int(Mid(txtHex.Text, i, 1))
            End If
        Next i
        Final = 0
        For i = 1 To lengh
            Final = Final + Hexs(i) * 16 ^ (lengh - i)
        Next i
        txtDec.Text = Final
    End Sub

though you might need to change it to your local VB dialect (mine is VB.Net 2005)

A better solution might be

    Private Sub cmdConvert_Click()
        txtDec.Text = CLng("&H" & txtHex.Text)
    End Sub

I am now reviving this thread to tell you about a test I did.
I created a Visual Basic program to tell me the speed of pixel drawing using 3 drawing methods: PSet, BitBlt and StretchBlt

PSet is a VB function that draws a pixel in a certain position with a certain colour.
BitBlt is a Windows API function that draws an area of a source into another.
StretchBlt is similar to BitBlt, as it's capable of setting different resolutions from the source's resolution.

I'll tell you more about it later, I'm in a rush to school. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.esnips.com/doc/1848ed42-6143-4e24-a8b0-1718541e3ec2/Drawing-Speed">http://www.esnips.com/doc/1848ed42-6143 ... wing-Speed</a>
