    If I had a Mac, I could make a Mac video.

    I guess if you have gaps in knowledge we have to start at the bottom. Do you know how PATHs like PYTHON_PATH work? Do you know how the import command in Python works?

    Could you skype me and talk there? I'm luke.burrage

    To answer those questions. I know paths and python_path. I know the import command. I know many things. Currently I'm stuck on:

    "SystemError: Cannot locate working compiler"

    It's always something a tiny bit beyond the bottom, but all fixes to such a problem assume I'm well above the bottom. I'm not. I'm a little bit above the bottom.

    In the second video you jump from something not working to knowing which dependencies are needed to make that compile and installing them. How do you know such things? Should I be installing xcode to make a python extension run? That's the only solution I can find by googling. To me that seems way over the top, and not something I feel I should be doing every time I want to be able to sort alphabetically with ä in the right place.

    Oooh, I know what's going on.

    Turns out: yes.

    Testing out Sublime Text 2 by working on a Lua project over the weekend. Hopefully I have results by Sunday :3

    Looks kinda neat.

    Might look at it if I could get a good C# compiler for Windows.

    a good C# compiler for Windows.
    Uh, C#... the one designed by Microsoft? Doesn't seem like it should be a problem, right?

    Price isn't even an issue. Visual Studio Express, which includes a C# compiler, is free.

    A compiler that isn't integrated into VS. I suppose I could compile it later, but then why am I using a different editor.

    Uhhh...

    It's not worth using a somewhat better editor to then have to open it in VS to test/compile it. Things like gcc can be invoked with a command line or a script.

    I think it's time you hit the books again son.

    Urgh, windows command line.

    Why did no-one ever tell me that most small businesses use so much windows server.

  • AndrewAndrew
    Powershell, cygwin, mingw are all viable alternatives... To be honest, I really don't think you have a strong enough grasp of the Windows dev environment to be making any judgments.
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    Which would be most like the linux command line?
    I stated my preferences.
  • AndrewAndrew
    LOL why don't you put only the minimum amount of effort of research to find out.
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    You know, never mind.

    There's tools that do fairly similar things in Visual Studio. Using Sublime Text would be an alternative for any other situation, maybe excluding Java.

    Lots of under the hood changes, messed around with GLSL shaders, but ultimatley decided to shelf it for the time being. Working on dungeon generation now.

    Weekend update:
    -Implemented BSP data structure to initiate dungeon creation. Lots of improvement needed to make the dungeons fun, but it works for now. Need to also make sure you can access every room.

    I'm using jsoup throughout an app I'm creating to process HTML. In one part of the app, I just need to load a page but not process it (basically just pass some variables to a php script). Is it substantially wasteful to use jsoup to do this?

    It's still a weekday, but I started messing with the Google Glass Mirror API. I can do a lot with this. The Glass-specific stuff is actually quite easy. The problem that is going to keep me from moving quickly is that I have to learn a lot of Google App Engine stuff.

    Google App engine ain't too hard.

    Here's some stuff you should know:
    AsyncTasks - For running network or other long-running stuff in the background.
    openFileOutput/openFileInput for internal storage i/o.
    Resources - One important thing to note is strings used in the UI should be stored as resources in strings.xml
    Intents
    Services - Longer running background stuff without a UI (for example playing music in the background) (Never used these myself)
    Permissions
    jsoup - not google-specific but important if you're doing any web-scraping (run this in an asynctask)

    Let me know if you have any questions, I've been doing android dev for about a year now.
    Herpderp I don't know what google app engine is.
