    Please help me make my library work!

    So, if I build a static library using C++ with no "extern C" declarations, and use it only with C++ programs, I shouldn't have a problem.... and I'd only have a problem with a shared library if everyone didn't use the GCC, which they do. So if I go with the static library, I'll be good...

    Please help me make my library work!

    I'm trying to make my own library of commonly (re)written functions and classes for my own projects to share, so that I don't need to waste my time re-creating them. I don't want to just copy-paste them between my projects; ideally I'd use a shared library, but a static one will do. The...

    A checklist of basic game elements

    Never heard it said that brilliantly before. It's a good philosophy. I embrace it.

    A checklist of basic game elements

    I was raised on the same mentality. However, since I was also raised to be a racist, a misogynist, and a conservative, and am none of them today, I suppose it's an overall good thing that nothing really stuck. (in other news, AquaAnalogue has family issues today; film at eleven)

    A checklist of basic game elements

    Hah. Well you could do what I did, jump right in and learn it as you go. As a warning, though, it (very slowly) produces a God-forsaken heap of functional yet illegible code, and the error to trial ratio is somewhere approaching 1. I'm going to release my project under (L)GPL/CC-BY-SA, but...

    A checklist of basic game elements

    Yes, BP, a thought: Make sure you pay attention to your chapter on classes. Some of it is not as easy to truly "grok" as it is to go "mmhmm, mmhmm *flips page*". For instance, it took me the longest time to grasp the concept of polymorphism and I still have trouble using it sometimes. That...

    [SOLVED] Who has clock issues?

    Right, this fix is confirmed after a week (or thereabouts) of no clock issues. Total drift over the week was about 10 seconds; not too bad for a device with nothing radioactive inside. Thanks for all your help guys. @CatPhoenix: I tried that just now; didn't do anything bad to my clock...

    [SOLVED] Who has clock issues?

    Ugh that sucks. I've done that a couple times before. I usually use a text editor first now. Catlooking Writer is the best for that, I think. On topic, though, thanks for finding ntpdate in the upstream repositories. I had done a search before but I couldn't find them, because first I was like...

    [SOLVED] Who has clock issues?

    Thanks so much for this solution, Notaz. My hardware clock was, indeed, off by quite a lot, and was not being set properly. I have it set with ~2 seconds precision to the output of a website. In a week's time, I'll report back to this thread, hopefully with a confirmation for this fix. Can...

    [SOLVED] Who has clock issues?

    Don't give up Dunny. I am really trying to find the issue here and your experience sounds closest to mine thus far. My clock currently says it is Saturday. o_OHas anyone experimented with a script to check the time and correct it?

    [SOLVED] Who has clock issues?

    Hello friends, it has been a while. Save for the occasional read-only visit (*lurk lurk* :ph34r: ) I have been neglecting the Pandora scene for about a month on and off, due to the pains of life outside Eden and some annoying family issues (just money, nothing serious). I am saddened to...

    Android emulator

    I find it incredibly funny that Java was designed to purposefully throw out performance to gain portability... and Android went and made a special version which not only performs terribly in a Java-esque fashion but also does not work on any other platform. William the Third himself could not...

    British songstress, Amy Winehouse found dead.

    Well, that could be a figure to be proud of, if we would just unglue ourselves from this rock.

    Norway: More than 70 dead in Twin Attacks

    You know, nobody would say anything about an agnostic or atheist committing this sort of crime because the world is biased. The world hates religion because of their bitter and ignorant assumptions that religion is bad. It is not their fault, though, because all these nuts commit heinous acts in...

    What's your biggest fear in life?

    ... my biggest fear... It'd have to be either myself or my soulmate dying long before the other. We need each other. It's a bit twisted, but I'm hoping that if she went first, my body would recognise my soul's need to escape and simply shut down within a few minutes. My last moments on Earth...

    The What Music Are You Listening To Thread

    "Mad World", the cover, by Gary Jules (actually the original by Tears For Fears was first, and a very good version too) Just a few minutes ago, I was listening to another favourite of mine: "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult

    Age

    Okay, I'll play; I am twenty years old, studying Computer Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I use my Pandora about 30% for web browsing, 10% for music playing, 20% for games (pathetic, right?), and 40% as an extra workspace hooked up via Synergy. I suspect I will be doing a...

    Equivalent to SysRq REISUB?

    The (alt)-SysRq-REISUB combination is my best friend on my laptop when things hang. On the Pandora, there is no SysRq key, and so there is no REISUB. REISUB is important because it cleans everything up and syncs/unmounts filesystems before restarting. Does the Pandora's reset function do...

    Pandora as an icontrolPad ?

    I would like to see it go even further. I would like to see it double as a Wii controller. I am serious. They use bluetooth so why not? I would kick ass at New Super Mario Bros. with the Pandora providing my controls. We just need a simple app to emulate the thing on Bluetooth, grab the...
