Hehe, reminds me of a mate a year or so ago. He'd been talking to this girl when his parents came to pick him up, his immortal words were: "Mum! Dad! This is my new friend Hannah! She's well fit!"

Cockrockets

Little image from my current project, testing the newest addition : photon mapping, allowing for all the indirect lighting (shadows aren't solid black etc) and colour bleeding that you can see in the shadows and on the white walls and floor, and once im finished, nice caustic patterns from reflective and refractive objects.

Those tiles look awfully uneven...

What are we looking at? I assume it isn't Flash.

Some renderer you programmed?

yeh, its a ray tracer + photon mapper.

In all seriousness, that's really impressive. One of those things that I'd have no idea how to begin if I was even inclined to do such a thing.

well i've never looked much into that area of things, but i did make a mathematical expression compiler in AS3 and C++ a few months ago. for example, if you assigned it a variable 'x' and had it compile the expression:

SIN(3+x!)/(4+(xy)^2)

it would compile it into the following symbolic bytecode (its not actually stored like this, this is just for easier reading) the heap starting with the values 3,4,2 the execution would be

FAC v0 -> h3
ADD h0 h3 -> h4
MUL v0 v1 -> h5
POW h5 h2 -> h6
ADD h1 h6 -> h7
SIN h4 -> h8
DIV h8 h7

the reason being, that like this the expression can be evaluated millions of time extremely quickly without having to re-parse the expression for sometihng like a graphing application.

the C++ version, i ran the following trial of the expression SIN(TAN(x^x)^x)^x^x, running a loop of 1 million, and evaluating the expression.

using my class, and compiling it into the bytecode and running the mini-program in my little virtual machine, the execution time was 1350ms

compared to a pure C++ coded loop and execution of 975ms. and a pure AS3 coded loop and execution of 1220ms.

It's a little irrelevant to the topic, but anyone remember covering factorials in college? For us it just seemed to be something they slipped under the radar, like "Oh yeah, there's a new function by the way. We're not going to cover it or anything, but you need it for these formulae so stab it in on your calculator".

Blah.

its covered quite extensively in statistics modules of alevel maths, and also a little bit in the pure modules.

I don't do stats, and it was just incidental in our pure :P

Valentines Day
Since everyone is for the trend of "this is a sellout Card Company created holiday boooo" I decided this year I am going to celebrate it. And it's going to be fun.

So why do you hate Valentines day, when you could be enjoying it?

I couldn't agree more. I can only assume they think like we do except with characters and numbers. We draw a picture and say "Wow! Check out that nice shade of purple!" They look at a line of code and say "CHECK OUT THAT MATH(S). TOTALLY RAD."

To each his own.

Personally I code because I like to create. But not just create a static picture, or an animated movie (which may as well be 'static' because it's always the same). Although those are fun to make, I like to do things which always change, and are never the same. Something different. This is probably because I live in your average 'American' town where NOTHING happens at all. Just your typical average run-of-the-mill town. Ask this to ANYBODY that lives here (if they're under the age of 30) and they'll tell you the same thing.. I like the city life :(

Valentines

I'm against Valentines because it encourages people to expect gifts as a token of affection. In my school of thought, affection needn't be shown with gifts, but rather through understanding who a partner is and coming to terms with their faults, and their up-points.

I'm also really cheap! >:(

Valentines

It's a very comercial holiday, and i hate it because i can't not give stuff to people because they'll say i'm evil and dont like them cause i didnt buy them anything, so i just buy a big bag of cheap lollypops and give evrybody one.

Is this still done on the thread?
Newgrounds has been showing very htmlish lately, it had happened before but very rarely and usually refreshing cured it, but this past days the frontpage appears htmlish every first ng visit of the day and today even the bbs appeared like that. And when i wanted to take a screen its all normal again >:/
.. any reason?

Walt Disney
As far as I'm aware, Walt Disney himself wasnt actually a very good animator. He created a brilliant animation studio, which basically redefined animation as we know it.

Valentines

I hate it because I don't have a girlfriend. :(

Nah, its just a crass commercial holiday designed to sell candy. So is Easter...and pretty much every holiday now...

Actually, I hate Valentine's Day because I got shot-down HORRIBLY and each year is just another flagrant reminder of how much that sucked.

It was 9th grade. I'll admit, I was naiive. There was a girl that I liked, and I was pretty sure she liked me. We had hung out, we talked often enough. Yadda yadda yadda.

So, I thought I'd be cool and romantic and get awesome gifts. I got the bear. I got the chocolates. I even got fucking lip gloss and shit form Bath and Bodyworks (which is a fucking awesome store btw). So, all this for one girl. I even got a nice card that was serious but funny too.

Needless to say, I got horribly sick over the weekend, most likely due to eating a bowl of raw cookie dough that I nuked in the microwave. Don't do that.

So, it's Valentine's Day(a monday), and I'm retching and vomiting, and still in the same boxers as Saturday. Since I went so far, I didn't want my efforts to go to waste. Somehow, the package got to school and I was able to be somewhat comforted.

Next day, I felt pretty good, no fever, so I went to school. Everything was going well until lunch. I was chilling, hanging out with my friends and she comes over. I'm sitting there, palms sweating thinking "Man, here it comes!"

Needless to say, it did not come.

We talked for a little bit and then she gave me a note and walked off with a friend. Inside, the note started off nice, something like "Thanks for the gift", but then it went on to say things like "I feel guilty about taking this because I don't even know you", "I don't know what you think, but you are NOT my boyfriend" (not was underlined), and a bunch of other things.

So, it's about half-way through the day, and I'm emotionally crippled (which I don't think I've ever fully recovered from). And to this day, I still go out of my way and get her a card. Interestingly enough, next year I only got her a card and she gave me a hug. Bitch needs to make up her mind >:C

So, that's my LEGITIMATE excuse for hating Valentine's Day.

And before you ask, yes, I'm still going to get her a card, but I'm probably going to give her a poem written in Spanish, just for kicks. If things go bad, I don't have to see her for another 5 years. And as much as I don't want to, I do want to get another girl (or two :X) cards, but I'll just have to be sneaky about it :P Getting caught would be VERY BAD.

I think it's along the lines of:
" Suck it for me, sweet whore"

or something like that.

I do give you props for that. I can't do Indirect Object Pronouns at all. lol

But I don't think that'd go over to well...

I'll change "sweet whore" to "dirty bitch" and claim my prize.
