All work and no progress. Situation looking pretty grim.

Worked for a good five hours today without being able to hail the two other in the group.
The main issue was that the program would not compile due to an error in the initialization of the player class where i had put the variable types in front of the names of the variables as if trying to create new instances of them rather than set them to specific values.
The rest of the day was spent not understanding how the Helium […]

Nothing much

Actually started work properly today, sort of.
I got a updated version of the project from Martin which included the game object class and the player class which inherits from the game object class. With this I was able to add the preliminary variables and functionality to the player class.
We had to send the entire project in a zip file rather than use SourceTree due to issues with committing, our list of commits and branches is a complete mess right now.
Tomorrow […]

I’m on

My web server program is now able to be connected to! Today was a pretty good day.
I was supposed to have a meeting with Tommi this morning but he was still sick so i worked in the classroom where Jerry helped the first year students.
I decided to add in some structs and functions from our previous classes where we made a simple Peer to Peer UDP chat. The most important thing i added from this was the struct client which […]

Revolving!

Didn’t make a post last night but we had an interesting lecture about multiplayer networking from the VGAvault form the multiplayer networking engineer who worked on Halo: Reach.
After the lecture we received some links on further reading regarding multiplayer networking which i read that night. During the morning i made little to no progress in the web server so i asked Tommi for a tutor meeting this Wednesday. Hopefully i can get the information i need then.
Because of this i […]

Staring and listening

Today was a worse day progress-wise.
I spent the entire morning staring at the server code trying to figure out what to do with the data i received from the recv function. I need to get the data from the char array i receive and somehow interpret it to send a html page back to the client. I’m not sure how i will do this yet, i will either create a html from a string or save a html page as […]

Late learning

Today was a good, if not very productive day.
Since last post I’ve learned three valuable things. First of all the location of the human spleen; right next to the stomach. But what does that have to do with programming? Nothing at all but I feel like i should have known this earlier.
The second thing i learned by studying the code i wrote from the microsoft tutorial i mentioned two blog posts ago. By pretty much staring at the code […]

Two days worth of blogging

Yesterday we met with the Assignment 3 group during the morning and made ourselfs a task list for the holiday project. I won’t talk too much about it on here until i’m done with the other parts.
During the lecture we were taslked to figure out one segment ourselves and while i was close to solving it, i couldn’t quite figure it out. With my mood ruined i went home and started reworking my erase function on y binary search tree […]

Incoming dump of posts for babel

Because of a tagging fluke on my behalf most of my blog posts from earlier weeks should be appearing on babel tonight. If babel doesn’t work like that i will just have to make a post linking to all those posts.
Today was a good start to what will hopefully be a productive week. I was in school before 9AM unlike most days last week and i was shown a tutorial on how to set up a basic application using winsock.
The […]

Started on Assignment part 2

I finally got started ever so slightly on the second part of the assignment today. On the morning I started piecing together parts from our two earlier pieces of code to make a webbserver. The first part is the UDP Peer to Peer chat we made which includes some functions and structure used to connect between to users over the Internet. The second part is a demonstration given to us which takes the html page google.com and displays its properties […]

One of those days nothing happens

Today wasn’t very interesting in any regard, barley worth going through the fuss of making a blog post.
On the morning i started reading up on how sockets work using a tutorial linked on the programming skype group. (Can be found here: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/output/html/multipage/syscalls.html) I felt unfocused during most of the day since all i did was reading and i didn’t manage to read the entire thing. Reading it during the evening again i am starting to feel like i […]

Catching up

I’m catching up with my work ever so slightly. Today i managed to get down to school during the morning despite my leg acting up and got some good job done during the day.
During the morning i went through the erase function of my binary search tree and fixed some of the cases who had the wrong instructions or had instructions which only worked on the high side of the tree.
In the afternoon we had a brief lecture in […]

Have to catch up

Bad weekend. Due to the unexpected death of a family member i was unable to get any work done as opposed to the things i had planned. Monday was better however as i was able to both get good work done during the morning, managed to follow the lecture on the afternoon and crunch numbers during the evening. This is required as i am still not done with the first part of the assignment, although i’m getting closer by the […]
