Just a nice video for anyone with ~an hour of free time.

Incidentally, I was looking through my sister's high school course booklet, and it seems that Alice 2.0 is what RHHS teaches for Compsci I these days.  I can't seem to convince her to take the class though :(

Despite having made a mental note to finish coding my LAN Pictionary game two weeks ago, I still haven't gotten it anywhere near what could be considered a completed work.  It's ready to be tested because A) it's at least functional now, and B) there are some thread-related aspects that I won't feel comfortable with until I've seen the program ( Read more... )

sorry, but all my deep, dark secrets and plans for world domination are in my xanga, myspace, and blogger (mostly, at least.  I think ( Read more... )

...like me:

1) If you're passing an array index through multiple functions, pass them as a 0-indexed value half the time and a 1-indexed value the other half of the time, adding as many increment and decrement statements as needed to make the code work (usually very many)

2) If you're passing two related numbers into a function, pass one as a string ( Read more... )

The paperwork was a lot less irritating than I'd expected, and what's more awesome than being in a building full of people who are all competent programmers? :P ( Read more... )
