wyrd Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I just thought I'd start a thread to see what everyone is up to (I'm a little bored right now, can't you tell?). There are lots of people who ask questions, but rarely do they hint at what they're working on exactly. So, what's your current project? I'll start; I'm currently working on a pseudo GDI/+ game called Sharp Invader, which is programmed in C#. Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
Moderators Robby Posted August 15, 2003 Moderators Posted August 15, 2003 Sharp Invader, cool name. :) Waiting for a .NET contract to pan-out. In the meantime, I'm working a few small things, mostly asp.net. Quote Visit...Bassic Software

Moderators Robby Posted August 16, 2003 Moderators Posted August 16, 2003 No way Volte, that was next on my plate. Anyway, by the time I get to it you'll probably be finished yours. Quote Visit...Bassic Software

Diablicolic Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 I'm currently working on an RPG, it will have a nice storyline, ripped music lolol, and pretty good graphics. We're talkin' solids here, none of that polygon stuff. It's taking forever because I've got so much stuff I want to do on it. Currently I'm trying to get these things together: -The Music -The Sounds -Maps That's it for now, later we go into the world of stats, and actual programming.

*Experts* mutant Posted August 17, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 17, 2003 PCMario and an online RPG for http://www.theanimesite.com btw whats a directX textbox? is it the same as a regular textbox? Yeah, its a version for DirectDraw, ive been working on it lately. I need to add scrolling if the text is longer then the control and some other minor things. (building controls from nothing is a little frustrating :) ) :) Quote

*Experts* Nerseus Posted August 18, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 18, 2003 Professionally, brain-numbing MVD stuff for a couple of states. (Too many rules!) For fun: 1. Built-in chat client for the professional stuff 2. Ms Pacman clone (DX9 - 3D and 2D) 3. Log file parser and stats builder for a 3D game I play with some friends (was VB6, SQL Server, ASP, etc. - needs a massive update but no time) -Nerseus Quote "I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over.

KenpoMatt Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I'm working on an web-based Executive Digital Dashboard. It is intended to give C level managers a snap-shot view of the health of my company at any given moment. I am using .Net to dig into the Crystal Enterprise 9 infostore. It allows me to manage, schedule & run reports. I am using Crystal Reports 9 to design graphs and charts, then display the report parts using ASP.Net. Oracle is my database. I get the feeling I'm about the only guy out here writing anything against Crystal Eneterprise Quote
samsmithnz Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I'm working on a couple of projects/ Ideas... I'm developing an XCom Clone using C++.NET and VB.NET... Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
Threads Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 1. Optimizing an application written in ASP that interfaces with an Oracle database using OO4O. Whoever designed the original code should be shot. In some cases they are making multiple calls to the database on a single page simply because they have never heard of Joins. With upwards of 75 Agents doing searches on the database concurrently, this means horrible performance. 2. Designing a .NET component that will be utilized through ASP.net to get shipping rates for all the major shipping companies for use in shopping carts. It utilizes XML, WebRequests, and in some cases TDEA. It will later be updated to allow tracking information to be retrieved from the vendor so it can be presented to the customer without them ever having to leave the site. Quote mov ax, 13h int 10h
Threads Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 3. A Windows Service that will run at a specific time each day. It will retrieve information from a database, and dump it to a flat file, then encrypt the data using an encryption scheme I haven't decided upon yet (probably TDEA or possibly just DES since the value of the data would be worthless after a week or so). Then it will automatically upload the file to a client FTP site. With all this "fun" stuff going on, my only salvation is that my soccer league is starting up again in a couple weeks. Too bad my girlfriend doesn't like computers or soccer. Quote mov ax, 13h int 10h
Threads Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Nerseus, the game you talk about in #3 wouldn't happen to be CounterStrike, would it? Quote mov ax, 13h int 10h
jspencer Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Putting together an on-line sql server to run a client application over the internet. Is anyone interested in renting sql server space on the internet? Quote
Octavo Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 Documents... arg Heyo boys. Been so long since I was last here I had to re-register, alas, life is cruel sometimes. I'm currently working on a Document Management app for the FMCG (fast moving consumer goods. ie milk, bread) industry. The first part using vb.net mass scans & cleans invoices and POD's. Then it uploads them to the Exchange server. The second part is a aspx portal that digitally verifies the signatures are authentic (lots of fraud here in SA I'm afraid) and puts them through a workflow and stores them eventually in the right place, ready for queries (which the portal also handles). Personally, I'm just working on a small thingy to keep track of my MP3's and upload them to my mp3 player. Quote
hog Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 I've just released my Maintenance and Servicing Contracts system to allow both our distribution sites to track all service contracts for equipment that require regular servicing, Suppliers, Equipment, Service Costs and Details etc. Also acts as a asset Register. My next project starng very soon is to do with extracting MI from one of out corp systems to aid distribution processing. The game fun side of VB has now hit the back burner. Afterall it's work that pays the bills :):) Quote My website
