Title: Something stupid
Post by: Alhexx on 2001-12-12 15:27:00
Well, I see a hand full of topics including the word 'stupid'.
So I simply decided to post something stupid in here, too.

You know what? Looking at that makes me proud. :grin:
Why? Because I could do something like that too! I started Delphi and can do sh*tty little things like that now. I got VC++ 5 Prof. too ,but I haven't started that yet. Shame I never will too, I got bored of Delphi ages ago! I didnt even get pass day one of my tutorial! :oops:

Post by: dagsverre on 2001-12-12 20:33:00
So, you could do that? Hmm..I'm curious. How exactly would you implement TForm.EndGalaxyButtonClick(Sender: TObject)?

:wink:
Title: Something stupid
Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-12 20:58:00
then theres always VB:

Private Sub Death_Click()
galaxy1.explode = True
End Sub

Private Sub Live_Click()
galaxy1.explode = False
End Sub

Dag: Well, this is Delphi remember - I'm sure someone's written a native component to do just that. TGalaxyEnder or something. Install it into your component palette.

You'll probally get the message "Run Time Error: Object undefined" message.

How about something more drastic with the same button that will scare any computer newbies to death in VB

Private sub command1_click()
msgbox = "Congratulations! You've just activated a virus that will blow up the galaxy!!"
End Sub

Now that's funny if a computer newbie clicks it

YOU HAVE XP! WAAAAH!  :cry:
My parents are planning to force me to use Win98 for eternity :weep: :sad:.

Somehow I doubt that - after all, your method doesn't do anything either, not even display a comical message...
Title: Something stupid
Post by: Joey on 2001-12-13 00:21:00
Just launch VB and try it.

What it does: Displays a message.

Fice: VB stands for Visual Basic. And I'm good at it.
Title: Something stupid
Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-13 00:30:00
yes, yes. im sure he knows. i wouldnt have a runtime error if i had an object called galaxy with a property called explode.
Title: Something stupid
Post by: Joey on 2001-12-13 00:41:00
How do you do that? Is it by creating the galaxy object?
Title: Something stupid
Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-13 01:05:00
yes, bu youd hve to create the galaxy object yourself and explode would have to be boolean.

My god. The latest versions are VB really are *crap*. That shouldn't have done anything in a programming language...
Title: Something stupid
Post by: dagsverre on 2001-12-13 19:06:00
My eyes! MY EYES!!! What was that up there?

If "message" must be an implicit variable, much like "result" in Delphi...so that only the last assignment to message in the function is shown, and not until the function exits...then *perhaps* it could pass as a "good-intention-that-failed" thing. I fear that that is not the case though, in which case it's the stupidest syntax I've seen until now.

On the positive side, more features like this means the gap between VB-programmers and us grows bigger for every day. Making me even more lucky I'm on the right side of that gap.

It really is amazing what you can with VB, isn't it. You know you're onto a bad thing when even JavaScript has better syntax than you do  :laugh:

ohhhh burn, bill, burn :smile: im slowly moving into c++, need to learn more libraries (currently i know iostream and those related, and the fprint command of stdio :smile:)
Title: Something stupid
Post by: PurpleSmurf on 2001-12-13 20:48:00
the sad thing is javascript does have better syntax than VB though vb is more powerful and has better variable handeling.... if any of you are still in school, like me, and have foolproof on your cpu's i have a great little proggie that removes it. just im me of email me. do something. and darkness is right for the galaxy_explode thing you either call it up like this :

call galaxy_explode

or you can make a "variable" that relates only to that object as things like text1.(command) arn't exclusive. essentialy you could make a text1.x = y and you could save room in the program by not have to declare public/global variable's. and don't whine about not being able to use the variable in other forms. just use:

x=formx.text1.x

and viola you have it again. nifty little trick :smile:

Title: Something stupid
Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-13 20:51:00
too bad you cant really compare javascript to vb. the closest things you can really compare are vbScript and Javascript, of which i prefer javascript. If you didnt mean that, you were probably meaning Visual basic is better than Java. And for that statement, no only would every programmer in the world disagree, but some would flog you.

BTW: Im just giving you a hard time (i know this guy)
Title: Something stupid
Post by: ficedula on 2001-12-13 21:28:00
Actually, you can compare them to the extent that "they're both programming languages" and then go on to say "Javascript has better (more consistent with itself and programming in general...) syntax". Which is what I was saying before.

Honestly, Dag, there's a whole lot more of ridiculous syntax in VB.
When I first started taking lessons for it, (It's a core I had to take for my Pre-U) I was like "Huh? That doesn't seem quite right. That seems to go against standard logic."
And all my lecturer told me was "It's VB, what do you expect?"
Title: Something stupid
Post by: PurpleSmurf on 2001-12-14 02:48:00
well i'm not one for java so i guess i would be flogged. vb is the first "real" programming language i learned. the first was qbasic and the casio and TI calculator languages. i guess i'm just full of usless info. oh well chaney is still too old.
Title: Something stupid
Post by: ficedula on 2001-12-14 12:18:00
[HACK cough] You call VB a REAL programming language? Save me from this heresy!  :evil:
Title: Something stupid
Post by: dagsverre on 2001-12-14 13:02:00
Yeah, exactly how is VB a more real language than Casio and TI languages? Technically they're the same, interpreted script languages designed for doing a limited number of things (performing numerical calculations vs. boosting script kiddie self-images), though one might argue that the Casio and TI languages are more logically constructed than VB.

(I'm beating a dead horse here though, this will be my last I think)
Title: Something stupid
Post by: PurpleSmurf on 2001-12-14 15:19:00
ok ok i get the message :rolleyes:. but VB can be "powerful".....ish.  but next semester i'm gonna try and get programming 1. then i'll learn c++ and if i have the free time and the intrest i'll start to look into java.

Uhm, VB is more like a Scripting Language than a programming language. (Refer to Dag's post above)
Title: Something stupid
Post by: Alhexx on 2001-12-14 17:03:00
What have I done?

Joey Post #1: It won't do anything, except causing an error - the call has got to be:
Code: [Select]
Private Sub Command1_Click()
  MsgBox "Congratulations! You've just activated a virus that will blow up the galaxy!!"
End Sub

VB: As for me: I hate it, too. I just use it, b'cause I haven't learned anything else. But I'm gonna start with C++ next year.


Everybody: The app hasn't got any code. It is just a simple form w/o any messages or anything else like this...

Title: Something stupid
Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-14 21:12:00
fice actually, i dont consider VB a REAL programming language, because it was build on another language, and the only thing you really have to know is how to use a mouse and type if statements

i also must say tht VB has no real power. it only has the power that those OCX things give it.

Edit: after i read this, i noticed it was kinda against alhexx. no worries, man. i was AMAZED by what you did with it.

Title: Something stupid
Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-14 22:25:00
im leaning towards luck. you can do more in vb thn me because i dont program in vb as much as you do. I let that talent deteriorate along with my P166.

btw: check your private messages, and start talking to me by using that instead of making a thread.

Post by: Joey on 2001-12-15 10:16:00
I'm afarid that you are right. But VB has more detailed error messages, giving you less debugging headache. The mystery: VB's undo code is not found anywhere. Anyone knows?

Actually, MS meant to use VB alongside with VC++. Just make and OCX through C++, and VB can use it! Made a buggy program with VB? No problem! A compile option lets you debug it with VC++.

VB also has what VC++ have. But instead of libraries, VB uses ActiveX controls.

Personally, I like VB because it is easier to understand that VC++(which, until now, I don't really understand it either. Care to teach me?)

The only difference between VB and VC++ is that VC++ programs has the ability to wear "skins"(Typically, it isn't the "true" interface like VB, it's just a bunch of bitmaps.) and also that in VB it is harder to create a new object than how you do it in VC++.

Joey: How long do you program in VB? I do for 'bout 2.5 years, and I got sick of it. It's fine, b'cause it's easy, but have you ever tried to declare a variable as an unsigned long integer?
VB only supports:

[list=a]
Code: [Select]
Public Type sh*tVB
  NumEntries As Integer
  Entries(1 to NumEntries) As Long
End Type

That's one of the main reasons why there isn't any 'Export to MS3D' function implemented in Ultima ...


Darkness: WHAAA !! 588 Posts? In 2 Months ? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Last time I visited this board you had 490+ posts ...

Let's see:

Oct 05 - Oct 31 = 27 Days
Nov 01 - Nov 30 = 30 Days
Dec 01 - Dec 15 = 15 Days
27 + 30 + 15 = 72 Days

588 Posts / 72 Days = 8.166666666666666666666666666666 PPD (PostsPerDay)

That means : 1000 - 588 = 412 Posts to go
412 / 8.1666666666666666666 = 50

Dec 15 - Dec 31 = 17
Jan 01 - Jan 31 = 31
31 + 17 = 48

That means, on February 2, 2002 you will have No Life Status ...


I just wonder if there is another status at 10K posts named : "Go and find a Job!"

I'm thinking I'm gonna try rebuilding Kefka in VC++ for Alpha 3... heh... that should be good... Rebuild a program AND upgrade it! It'll probably let me get rid of some problems I've been having though... After I run into 50,000 others just trying to get it the same...
