You guys program?

deposition · 09-15-2005, 04:45 PM

I didn't know we had a much of a demand for a programming forum. How many of you program? In what?

Post what language(s) you program in, what are you learning, how long you have been, level of expertise on (1 to 10) scale, mabye some examples of your work, and whatever else you want.

soccr743 · 09-15-2005, 04:53 PM

I program in: Flash, PHP, Java, C++, C#, ASM (Z80 & learning x86). (HTML and CSS as well although that isnt programming).

Flash: 01234567( 8 )9 [3 years]
PHP: 0123456( 7 )89 [1.5 years]
Java: 01234( 5 )6789 [.75 years]
C++: 01234567( 8 )9 [1.25 year]
C#: 01234( 5 )6789 [.75 years]
ASM (Z80): 01234( 5 )6789 [1 year]

I have switched from doing programming on a web perspective (Flash, PHP, etc) to doing C++ and ASM in the past year or so. Right now I am currently working on a 3D graphics wrapper class library for DirectX as well as handling 2D sprites. After that, I am going to work on a real time strategy game that will be 3D. I have also worked on (And still finishing up) a library of classes for C++ such as String, List, Dictionary, File, FileStream, and Vector2D and Vector3D. (List, Dictionary, and both vectors are template classes so they can be used in many settings).

EDIT: Oh yea, I forgot to say that the only reason I consider Java a 6 is because of C#... I took the AP CS A exam and got a 5... Never bothered to learn Java really.

PHP 4 LYFE

I do have some background in Java, but that was only for school

Brainmaster07 · 09-15-2005, 05:35 PM

I'm taking Java in school, but I can only do basic things like calculations at the moment :O.

**FishFishRevolution** · 09-15-2005, 05:40 PM

I took java for two years, then taught it for a year. Maybe around a 6 or 7.

GuidoHunter · 09-15-2005, 06:36 PM

I took Pre-AP CompSci and a semester of Honors CSE 1341, so I didn't get very far past object-oriented programming, but I consider myself pretty proficient in anything below that. If it's your first or second year of C++ I can help out.

I'm also decently proficient in programming on the HP32SII calculator, but it'd be a miracle if any of y'all even had one of these, let alone had an interest in programming on it.

I can only program my TI83+.

:(

I'll be learning some kind of programming next semester though.

QreepyBORIS · 09-15-2005, 06:54 PM

I used to know client-side Python, but I don't care about that so much. I was like a 0 or 1.

I am learning C++. I am less inept. The class I am in for it moves WAY too damn slowly for me, especially since I already know a fair amount of it.

**chickendude** · 09-15-2005, 07:01 PM

I can do C and Python
I'm going to start learning C++

I understood the concept of object oriented stuff pretty well from python, so it shouldn't be that hard, especially after learning C first

right guys?

ad0gg · 09-15-2005, 07:37 PM

C++ - I've only been programming with C++ for about half a year, but I know quite a bit about it.
Visual Basic - Haven't programmed VB in ages, but back when I did (3-4 years ago), I pretty much learned everything in the "Learn Visual Basic Now" tutorial.
HTML - I know, not a programming language, but I'll throw it on anyway.
Java - I started learning this, but stopped once I started C++. I plan on learning it again because I have this massive book on it.

And that's it.

**chickendude** · 09-15-2005, 07:43 PM

This should be stickyed
not that it would make a difference right now though >_>

09-15-2005, 07:47 PM

I can do C++, VB, and a bit of TI-83 BASIC.

JurseyRider734 · 09-15-2005, 07:55 PM

C++ (1) For about a week ;D

QreepyBORIS · 09-15-2005, 08:16 PM

Oh, I forgot, I also know some C. It's like C++, but not as cool.

**chickendude** · 09-15-2005, 08:18 PM

Yeah, its sad, it doesn't have any objects =\

Is the syntax mostly the same? If it is then thats good, because I'll learn C++ faster.

QreepyBORIS · 09-15-2005, 08:20 PM

It is. The libraries have different names, I think. And you never, ever use printf. It's all about console for basic programming.

Most of it is the same, though.

**chickendude** · 09-15-2005, 08:24 PM

goodies,
yeah I noticed that <stdio.h> changed to <iostream.h> but thats no big deal

That's good to know, C++ shouldn't be that hard to pick up, I understand classes, and C-syntax so woohoo

soccr743 · 09-15-2005, 08:52 PM

C++ is just a enhancement to C really. It also adds a bit more overhead to programs... But it is worth it for OOP.

**Squeek** · 09-15-2005, 08:55 PM

I'm aiming for a Master's in CS based on Java.

Been programming in Java for 4 years now. My pride and joy (the only program I have ever kept that I was forced to make) is a base convertor. Nothing much, obviously. That isn't to say I haven't done anything harder than that, because I have. I think the last project I had to do was to figure out how to manage a train station that needed to shift the positions of traincars in the most efficient manner for any circumstance. Boy do I wish I made that one a little better so I could share it with you all. The basic concept was to order them numerically in such a way that the highest value (caboose) goes in first so the lowest value (engine car) can be in front. You gave the program an order the cars were in already and entered a number to represent how many holding tracks you think would make it work. Functioning or not, it told you so and told you how many is the minimum possible. If you have it set to tell you the steps taken, it outputs every step the traincars move around in. Pretty fun stuff. I wish I had made it visual.

Flash...not so much. I can do simple stuff and things that require Action code, but going much further than that makes things harder for me. Best I have made is on my DeviantArt page. It's a Space Invaders game using Kirby.

**talisman** · 09-15-2005, 11:28 PM

I got through week two of a book called "learn c++ in three weeks!" and I'm pretty sure the only program I wrote in C++ (mind you this was in ninth grade) was one that solved simple x and y systems.

and I know how to program on my TI 86 which is fairly worthless... but I have made a game where you move a circle around on a screen to collect astericks (which give you fifty points) with a time limit of 100 cycles of the program. the astericks appeared in random places after you collected one, but never on top of you. I also tried to make one with a boss guy that chased you around as you collected the astericks but it turned out that that made my calc cry and everything ran hella slow.
