positive X axis

Oh I think I see what you are getting at now. You mean it should say "the point (x,y)", not "the point y/x", which is meaningless, but at best would lose the distinction between (-1,-1) and (1,1)?

The weird point notation isn't what I was getting at either (though, acknowledged, it is weird). It's the distinction between measuring the angle between a vector and the x axis (=angle between a vector and whichever of (-1,0) or (1,0) it hits first when rotating) and the angle between a vector and the positive x-axis (which is the angle between a vector and (1,0)).

[Pishtaco]

I don't think it's unreasonable to see the x-axis as having a direction. It's, say, the span of a certain basis vector, and so you can sometimes use it as shorthand for that vector.

why the fuck does xcode 4 cost $4.99 now? lameeeee

It's ok though, you don't actually want to use xcode 4

Speaking of which: IT TURNS OUT THERE'S ACTUALLY AN XCODE 3.2+IPHONE SDK 4.3 BUILD ON APPLE'S WEBSITE! The link just isn't very obvious. I am so incredibly happy about this. I would post this in the happy programmer room but I'm only just happy about something that's had me grumpy for a weak, ceasing, so I'm not sure that counts.

ya i've been downloading it for the past 2 hours. Im not sure why apple cant release a 500mb patch instead of a 4.1gb full install for every point upgrade

It's possible moving to the mac app store (and thus costing $5) will allow them to do just this!

ever since getting back from gdc my computer has been powering off randomly (no warning, no attempt to restart) (after an hour or 2 of being on, sometimes longer, sometimes less, sometimes when under heavy load, sometimes not)


What I've tested that isn't the problem
-CPU/GPU temperatures (are normal at times of shutdown)
-RAM (windows memory test works fine, intel burn test returns consistent results)
-Surge protector (different power strip same issues)
-Windows (recovered windows to a pre-gdc stable version, same issues)
-Dust

What I assume isn't the problem
-GPU (i've seen GPU crashes and failures before this is nothing like it)
-CD drive (why would it)

What I haven't tested yet
-PSU (waiting for a psu tester to arrive)
-Motherboard (dont even know how i'd check this, resetting CMOS didn't help)
-Harddrive (seems to work fine though in general)

What I think is most likely
-PSU (most googling indicates this as the issue, need to test to be sure)
-Very odd possibility of all the loose wires in my case shorting out / accidentally pressing the motherboard's power button (though i dont think so)

extremely frustrating and has been making me ragequit work this past week a lot.

XCode 4-- I was gonna try to compile one thing, real quick, before I uninstalled it-- appears to be barring me from naming a variable "check", and at one point, appeared to actually give an error on a line containing a comment containing the word "check".

Is this a... has anyone ever seen this in GCC/LLVM before?

[Ludophonic]

I've been using Xcode 4 for awhile now and I've never seen anything like that. I just tested with a small project changing a variable to 'check' and it worked. What is the exact error it's giving you?

Hm.

The exact error was

Code:

/Users/mcc/work/jumpcore2/desktop/../controls.h:164: error: declaration does not declare anything

Line 164 was the "void check" here:

Code:

class CheckGroup {
public:
	CheckControl *checked;
    void check(CheckControl *me);
};

But when I dumped that in a file with an int main and compiled it by itself with g++, it worked fine.

Meanwhile for whatever reason XCode was coloring the word "check" brown, like it was special; and google turns up a mailing list post (with no resolution) with someone having the same problem, in their case while compiling Boost, also on a field named check. I assume "check" is getting #defined special somewhere, and I assume (since g++ by itself worked) it's because of something special that somehow got turned on in my project file.

The really weird thing is I am pretty certain I compiled this same project with XCode 4 just a couple days ago and this did not happen (though the first time may not have been a clean build?).

Anyway, the mystery will have to go unsolved as XCode 4 is now, for unrelated reasons, uninstalled

[Glaiel-Gamer]

IIRC brown = macro in xcode, what file are you including?

[mcc]

Well  in my g++ test I tried to include more or less the same standard headers... but I'd have to include basically my whole program to be sure.

Anyway I can't really debug it at this point, I downgraded to XCode 3 and the problem went away...

[mcc]

Simplifying a bit here but:

- Can't test my code on the android emulator because the android emulator doesn't support an fpu
- Can't test my code on a device because only the android emulator supports os version 2.3!

you said you checked dust, have you checked dust in your PSU's fan? I had this problem and I think I either cleaned out the dust from the psu and it worked, or I just replaced it.

My problem was pretty much the same as what your saying, around 2 hours and it cuts out, but it got more and more frequent for me.

the can of air i had ran out as i was dusting the psu, ill try again once amazon delivers my new case of air. I'm afraid to open the psu cause it would void the warranty (comp is only 5 months old) and cause of the risk of electrical shock from the capacitors.

tests from today:
- same issue occurs in safe mode (left it on last night in safe mode, was off today)
- running it with the case open and spare wires hanging out instead of tucked away let me use it for about 5 hours before I had to sleep it and go home, possibly mitigated the issue but i wont know for sure till i go and use it all day tomorrow

Oh geez maybe it's just because it's 2 AM but this EGLConfig / EGLChooseConfig thing seems baffling

I'm being given a list of four configurations to choose between and I have no idea how to tell the difference between them

Meanwhile when I try to draw it's letting me glClear the screen to whatever color I want, but not draw a triangle; I have no idea if the fact I'm currently just picking whichever egl configuration is the first one has something to do with this or not but it seems plausible.

I have no idea how to tell the difference between them

I'm no expert on the differences, but if I recall correctly the list that's returned to you is sorted from most suitable to least suitable. As such if you aren't sure what you want, pick the first entry.

Cool

[JMickle]

Why can't the compiler just read my mind or something when it comes to coding, it'd be so much easier:

Code:

public var textArray:Array = new Array;
for (var i = 0; i < 40; i += 1)
		{
			for (var j = 0; j < 30; j += 1)
			{
				textArray[i,j] = 7;
			}
		}

it KNOWS what I want, but it won't tell me why it won't work.
