Posted: 23 Apr 2018 10:49 AM PDT Hello All, For the past 4 months, I have been drawing comics that explain simple programming concepts. You can find the ones I've made on my website: https://prairieworldcomicsblog.wordpress.com/programming-series-in-order/ Feel free to read them! But do note: I'm thinking of redrawing the series, only in a true collaborative effort. I thought of doing the effort in the Ars Technica Open Forums, or in some other format elsewhere. But seriously: I'm screaming for true collaboration in the process of building the programming comics, as opposed to just going in alone and blind - and just getting heavy criticism all the time. If you think my work has great potential, I encourage you to take part in collaborating with me to make some great comics on this subject! Edit: So people wish to understand the collaboration process I'd create: I would be the head artist and leader of the collaboration project, and you would be the educators, programmers, and readers who would collaborate with me. The steps in this process would be the following:
I have a more lengthy description and guidelines in a collaboration document I have written, of which you can find here. I'm still figuring out the tools and webpages we'll use to collaborate. Some have suggested using github to shape the scripts, and I've been wondering about using a dedicated subreddit as a place for communication for this process. Feel free to give ideas on this!

Adding to my Github dos and dont's Posted: 23 Apr 2018 06:06 PM PDT I am a computer science student and do not have many projects to my name, and recently have been given much more lengthy projects in school. I want to put them on my GitHub since most potential employers will ask for them, but I want to know things I should make sure I should have and things that I should avoid doing. Can you help me Reddit? [link] [comments] |

Looking for an online buddy to study algorithm for job interviews Posted: 23 Apr 2018 08:00 PM PDT Hi, I am preparing for developer interviews and I was hoping that I could pair with someone who is also preparing for interviews and studying algorithms. We can work on algorithm problems remotely using colabEdit or something. I feel that the exchange of ideas and seeing different ways to solve a problem would be helpful. Please message me if interested with:
Thanks. [link] [comments] |
[C/C++] - Trying to read in a text file from a zip file using zlib/minizip. Posted: 23 Apr 2018 07:46 PM PDT This for a little graphics program I'm writing. The idea is simple enough. have a zip file in my executable's directory with a few shaders in it. I want to be able to open that zip file, find the shader file I'm looking for, and read it into a character string. I can read the shader in, but I have major problems adding a null terminator '\0' to the last element of my char array. Every time I so much as access an element from my char array, Visual Studio gives me an access violation. I can't touch anything without it going crazy in debug. If I run the program outside of debug, my shaders work, but I get Debug Assertion Failed: _CrtIsValidHeapPointer(block) error when I exit. I'm still relatively new at C/C++, so I'm positive this is an issue with how I'm storing/accessing data. But the documentation for minizip is basically nonexistent, so I'm really out of options here. Can anyone help me out? [link] [comments] |

Trying to find out what I'm lacking Posted: 23 Apr 2018 11:08 PM PDT I'm a CS major probably graduating this semester with around 3.7-3.8 GPA so I would say school wise, my programming skill/CS knowledge is good enough. Unfortunately, whatever I learned in school does not seem to be translating well to practical work skills. Currently, I have an internship at a company that produces a Windows desktop application. My job is to fix the bugs/new features that are sent my way. However, I'm having difficulties understanding the code and coming up with code to fix the problem. Initially I thought the reason might be the code quality. The product has been written since 15-20 years ago, I've been told it's over 300,000 lines, old code isn't removed but commented out, code isn't documented much besides having the bug number and title, etc. Due to the relatively large and relatively old code base and code being commented out, I've had trouble finding what section of code I should be modifying. Since code isn't documented much, I try to set a breakpoint within functions to figure out how I should be using them. And setting a breakpoint and making it hit is always difficult for me since I can't find where I shoudl be setting the breakpoints. However, it's been 3 months and although I do have some general ideas about certains parts of the code, I still have difficulties reading and writing code. Other coworkers are doing fine, even the newer employees whose only been around 1-2 years. I thought that the old code could be part of the problem, but even when working with newer code that been recently written, I still have trouble reading and writing code. At this point, I'm pretty certain there's something I'm missing. I've taken 20-40 hours to fix 2-5 hours bugs and I think once I've reached close to 50 hours for a 3 hours estimated bug. And those fixes ended up being small as well. I've worked with other people's code in school with group projects and tutoring other students from lower division CS courses and did fine with that. I've also written my own code and did fine with that. Of course everything I've done was on a much smaller scale compared to work, but I've expected that I'd be able to transition smoothly over time, which I haven't. It's like I have a venn diagram of school skills and work skills and while there are some in common, there are some crucial skills in the work skills set that's not in the school skills. Has anybody experienced this and if so, what was the problem and how did you overcome it? If not, does anyone have any advice for me? I don't even know where to start in order to improve myself since I don't even know what I'm missing/doing wrong. [link] [comments] |
Visual C#: Am I doing the label output correctly? Posted: 23 Apr 2018 11:00 PM PDT I am getting errors trying to output information into a label and was wondering what I am doing wrong. The code is below. Any help with this is appreciated! [link] [comments] |

I need my arrays to interact, but don't know how to do it right. Posted: 23 Apr 2018 04:58 PM PDT So I'm trying to write a simple program for weight lifting. It finds out a users one rep max for a given lift and multiplies it by a set integer. So on week one, day one, the program would grab the deadlift max that the user entered and multiply it by the week one percentage (7/10) and then receive the product, and then know what to lift. On week one, day two, it would grab the squat and multiply it by week one. On week two, day one, it would grab deadlift again but this time multiply it by the week two percentage. So far I have it taking the data from the user and displaying the data on a separate page. I feel like in order to do the rest I needed to create two arrays, a "lift" array that gathers the maxes previously recorded, and a "week" array which is the different percentages for the different weeks. Ideally I would be able to click a workout tab and be directed to a page asking which lift they were doing and which week they were in, and then return the correct result. I'm new at this, so I'm going to post what I think is the relevant code and if I need to post more I will. also in my code ORM stands for one rep max. [link] [comments] |
Should I include methods I do not use? Posted: 23 Apr 2018 07:09 PM PDT I'm working on my first real coding project, and throughout my course so far we have generally included methods for retrieving the parameters of custom objects we have created. For example, for a proposed class Clock, we would have something like the following Now, I am using a similar Clock object in my project. I only need the getHours method, but is it considered a good habit to include getters for mins and secs anyways? Or am I misguided, and this is a waste? [link] [comments] |

[Java] Dispose of an object that moves X distance from a specified point? Posted: 23 Apr 2018 06:53 PM PDT I'm currently trying to finish my 1st year final project, which is a 2D Java version of the board game Crokinole(it looks like this). Basically, I need to dispose of the circular puck objects if they contact the outer line of the board, but I'm not exactly sure how. This is what my "board" currently looks like I have a radius variable, though I fear it may not be right: Would it be something as simple as I figure I can use the same basic framework for calculating scores, since each ring has its own point value, I could do something like Thoughts? Opinions? Tell me I need to study harder? Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! EDIT: Just noticed a "setActive()" method in the graphics package that my teacher requires us to use, so that would be how I dispose of the object. Edited code to reflect. The question about the veracity of my logic still stands as is, though. [link] [comments] |
Visual C#, Restaurant Keeping Total Posted: 23 Apr 2018 10:35 PM PDT Hello everyone, I am trying to keep a running total of all food items selected in my program. However, in the errors I am getting "Total is declared but never used." I have total calculated throughout the program but I don't get why Visual C# is telling me it's never used. Enclosed is the code. Any help is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |

Visual C#, Summing Price Totals in a ListBox Posted: 23 Apr 2018 09:52 PM PDT I am creating this program that sums the totals of songs selected from a menu. I quite can't get how to assign each song a value of 0.99 and get a running total. Can someone please show me how it is done? I have Googled this topic but have found things that are close but not quite related, such as summing numbers that are in a list. [link] [comments] |
[Python] How can i push items from one stack to another? Posted: 23 Apr 2018 09:45 PM PDT I have two stacks, stack1 is empty, stack two has the numbers 1-10 : How can i push the even numbers from stack2 to stack1? Stack2 should be empty afterwards and stack1 should contain even numbers. My guess would be to do something like this: [link] [comments] |
Posted: 23 Apr 2018 09:35 PM PDT EDIT: I have it working now! Thank you all for your help! Hello. I am trying to implement a bubble sort with void pointers. It all compiles and works almost correctly, but it is putting the largest integer in the array to the front of the array instead of the end. I've tried a few different things and nothing seems to work. I'm sure it's some small thing that I'm overlooking, just need a second set of eyes! my code: [link] [comments] |

trying to read images with Cimg in c++, Cimg cannot recognize file format of png Posted: 23 Apr 2018 08:31 PM PDT hi there! I'm new to programming and am trying to put together a project for my C++ intro class - the concept is to read in an image file and produce a color palette with the given image. I am running into a problem using the Cimg library where trying to read in an image, even with copy/pasted example code, produces the error "failed to recognize format of file 'test.png'". I'm using a Windows 10 Education OS and compiling my code with Code:Blocks. Any idea what I might be missing? My Cimg header file is included properly and files are in the right location and properly named. A suggestion online was to link gdi32 as it's not done by default in Code::Blocks, but that hasn't changed the error. [link] [comments] |
