I have a small article on the tool I used to move a tank via voice commands. http://boxhacker.com/blog/2011/11/22/speech-recognition-for-net/[^] Part 2 explains how I converted the speech into commands (parsing) and such: http://boxhacker.com/blog/2011/11/25/voice-parsing/[^] Its ok if you have time to train the speech recognition software, but out of the box stuff would require something more powerful. - Could help :-D

Thanks again for the helpful feedback! :-D From all of the replies we decided that it would be best to: x - Not assign global roles x - Assign "local" roles on a per scenario/stint basis We might still have a lead programmer role somewhere in there, but over all we will tackle subdivision depending on the problem. - Thanks again :laugh:

Thanks for a nice logical separation of responsibilities :-D

So far it seems that a key pattern is, someone overlook the flow of information through the system and the others can add to it over time somewhat multi-responsibly. Big Grin | :-D Similar answer to what me and the team thought, but we are noobs - what do we know? xD

Hello I am about to work in a team of four (all programmers) on a small game at university. It should take around three to four months of development time and I have hit a wall already! What roles could be subdivided logically in such a small team? Looking on-line only really shows how larger teams are broken down, for example one person working on the GUI is probably over kill for what we need, yet I still don't know what roles we could assign... Any suggestions? :laugh: Also we have a similar skill set, so speciality based on skills wont really come into play.

This sounds like a course assignment... :suss: Think about it logically: x - Find a way to read the file line by line x - What could you do when you obtain a line? x - Is there a way to split the line apart, maybe separate name and mark? x - When you find a way to separate them, it is simply the case of casting the string to an int and visa versa. If you get really stuck here is a nice link of tools you could use to help with the string: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/[^]

Good point!

Should had used an SVN! :laugh:

Some way or another your are going to end up storing a collections of string elements (to be mapped onto your GUI) that relate to many language versions. EnterButton => English:"Enter",Spanish:... Localization I think is the only way you can achieve such effect... Maybe look at http://ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2002/09/30/manager.html[^], a four part series that could help?

I have the following code:

        IKernel kernal = new StandardKernel();

        kernal.Bind().To();
        kernal.Bind().To();
        kernal.Bind().To();
        

        package = kernal.Get();
        package.Get().Force = new Vector2(10,10);
        package.Get().Position = new Vector2(2,2);

LocationCom:

\[Family("Location")\]
class LocationCom : BaseComponent, ILocationComponent
{
    public Vector2 Position { get; set; }
}

MovementCom:

\[Family("Movement")\]
class MovementCom : BaseComponent, IRealtimeComponent
{
    private readonly ILocationComponent locationCom;
    public Vector2 Force { get; set; }

    \[Inject\]
    public MovementCom(ILocationComponent locationCom)
    {
        this.locationCom = locationCom;
    }

    public void Update(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        locationCom.Position += Force \* (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;
    }
}

ComponentPackage:

    public ComponentPackage(IEnumerable components)
    {
        foreach (var component in components)
        {
            Add(component);
        }
    }

The idea is that the movement component will get a reference to location component when injected into the package. The problem is that MovementCom receives a new instance of LocationCom, thus when it applies force it is applying it to an unrelated position (not inside the package). Does Ninject resolve this issue or would I have to write some "adaptor" code for the dependencies to work, I am fairly new to using an IOC container so it is likely to be an easy question ;P

The idea is that other components can get another component based on its key. At the moment there is no configuration file aspects, but I may consider it... The problem is that one type of component can be added multiple times, some of them can be configured to act more generically, in theory I could install two OffScreenSensor's but with different keys.

Ok thanks, sounds like I am on the right track :)

I sometimes come across situations where I could use a string type to represent a unique key in something (sorry for being vague)... An example:

ConnectSensor(new OffScreenSensor(),"screen");

Where the "screen" part is used to identify the OffScreenSensor object in a dictionary somewhere. I could use an Enum as a replacement but was wondering if any one here has a better way of dealing with stuff like this? I don't like the idea of having to look back to see the names of keys I have named before :laugh:

This sort of post normally raises an eye brow or two, but the pwnlist site could actually be useful! Yet I still hesitate to put my email in, anything related to warez or its affiliates I stay well away from...

SOLUTION: This works for me but I still do not know why it was behaving like that...

if (table.getCellEditor() != null) {
table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}

Was called when deleting the row, forcing the cell that is being edited to stop editing. PROBLEM: I have the following CellEditor that is used to validate cells on a column:

public class CellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {

protected TextField source = new TextField();
private ArrayList validators = new ArrayList();

public CellEditor WithValidation(IValidator validator) {
    validators.add(validator);
    return this;
}

public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {

    source.setText(String.valueOf(value));
    return source;
}

public Object getCellEditorValue() {
    return source.getText();
}

@Override
public boolean stopCellEditing() {
    String s = ((String) this.getCellEditorValue());
    if (s == null) {
        this.fireEditingCanceled();
        return false;
    }

    for (IValidator v : this.validators) {
        if (!v.isValid(s)) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, v.getErrorMessage());
            this.fireEditingCanceled();
            return false;
        }
    }
    return super.stopCellEditing();
}

}

And I attach the code to my table like this:

this.jTable1.getColumnModel()
.getColumn(0)
.setCellEditor(new loyaltyapp.validation.CellEditor()
.WithValidation(new TextLengthValidator(1, 12)));

When the second snippet of code is commented everything works as intended (but of course not including any validation)... The problem is that when I do attach the CellEditor to my table when I remove a row WHILE a cell is being edited the rest of the row gets deleted, leaving behind a rogue cell!

I have the following code inside a Derived "Panel" control in C# 4:

    public void ForceMoveScrollBar(int distX, int distY)
    {

        if (Math.Abs(distX) > HorizontalScroll.Maximum - HorizontalScroll.Value)
        {
            HorizontalScroll.Value = HorizontalScroll.Maximum;
        }
        else
        {
            HorizontalScroll.Value += distX;
        }
    }

It is meant to scroll the horizontal scroll inside the panel by a certain amont when a key is clicked on the keyboard. However I have to tap the key twice for it to work, the first time make my panel flicker and the second time works. The only fix I have is:

public void ForceMoveScrollBar(int distX, int distY)
{

        if(Math.Abs(distX) >HorizontalScroll.Maximum - HorizontalScroll.Value) 
        {
            HorizontalScroll.Value = HorizontalScroll.Maximum;
        }
        else
        {
            //The value does not set on the first assigment!
            HorizontalScroll.Value += distX;
            //so I add another one!?
            HorizontalScroll.Value += distX;
        }
    }

Why does it do this strange behaviour?

I read through it and I can see how that would be useful however "perform a particular action that needs performed once only", I intended those methods to be used more than once and to increase the usability of the code. So when people see:

Controller.BuildSingleRow(_sheet);

They realise that it constructs the object set to a single row sprite sheet... It seems ok to me but im sure there is someone out there who would slap me in the face... :laugh:

Hello I have the "following" code:

controller = Controller.BuildSingleRow(_sheet);

_animator = Animator
.WithStartupInfo(_controller, PlayMode.Normal, 1f);

I have used a static method in the Controller class to setup some method of build pattern, I was going to use a constructor but a static instantiation won it for me. Is this bad to do this? Thanks :-D

Thanks :-D

I need to have one of my properties in a custom control to open the "open file dialogue" window when selected. I have googled around but it keeps throwing me .net controls! At present I have a property and when "set" opens the dialogue, but this forces me to enter some text and open it only when deselected... Just to clarify: 1: Click on the property name in visual studio designer property area 2: it opens the open file dialogue Thanks :)
