DBPro's object system

SoulRed12 - Moderator — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:07:03 GMT

What do you think about DBPro's object system? (integer object indexes starting at 1, with no instances) Do you like it better or worse than GM's system, all things considered? I like it a little better, only because you can use for loops more easily in combination with object instances (and you choose which numbers to give to which instances). It just makes me feel that much more in control. Though I don't care for the fact that I have to manage it all myself; GM is very good for that ...

Making GML Easier Pt.2 (Custom Functions)

John(GmMkr-Admin) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:27:10 GMT

GML KNOWLEDGE NEEDED I'm sure that you've checked out my old topic on making GML easier. It talked about creating your own variables. Such as shortening "keyboard_check_pressed(ord('A'))" to something as small as "A" and as useful as that was I will now be showing you how to make your own functions! (If you haven't seen my other topic then I believe you should, it's simpler than this.) Now, I don't want to over-complicate this so here is something for your relief. AFTER ...

How ethical to use Javascript libraries that are available on the net?

clxkzj — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:02:10 GMT

I want to do something with JavaScript on my website but don't know how to implement it, but i've found it has already been written by someone and is available to download free as they've put it on net.

The weakness of div reliance

ranga227 — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 03:13:36 GMT

First to sum up - the two big problems I've found with divs are... 1. h/v centering can be a real bugger - if you have a carefully laid out page with everything placed at a precise absolute location, even sticking a "mother" div type thing in and moving that around doesn't solve the problem totally or easily and on different screens, platforms etc you see the stuff in different places... a few tricky equations may well solve it, but I never managed it when I tried, for days 2. If you ...

For those people who have thought, considered or anything have any of you seen any real time 3d games in Javascript? I have seen a couple, and the games are quite pathetic.

Do you still use MIN/MAX-WIDTH and MIN/MAX-HEIGHT

nilulk — Mon, 25 May 2009 05:32:48 GMT

What percentage of global warming deniers can't differentiate between weather and climate?

xckoza — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:01:23 GMT

It seems like half the questions in the global warming section these days are 'if global warming is true why is it snowing today?'.

What percentage of global warming deniers do you think don't know the difference between weather and climate, local and global, or past and present?

Considering this figure and the small minority of people who continue to deny anthropogenic global warming (AGW), what does this tell you about the AGW denial movement?

Mafia/Thesilverfile

Toledo88 — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 18:01:46 GMT

[copied from Thesilverfile, with minor editing] After playing it at another site, I think it would be a pretty fun idea to play it again. Before I say anything, this does NOT involve the Mafia at all in real life. They're just the name of the bad people on the game. The game is centered around lying, deceit, and logic. It is also played totally on the forums, which is nice. Since I'm terrible at explaining things and it takes a while, here is a thorough tutorial on how to play.here ...

How many bytes in memory a string occupy in Java language?

qinazaza — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 10:12:43 GMT

I am reposting this question.
How many bytes in memory a string occupy in Java language?
Suppose i write:
String name="Bill Gates";
So, how much memory it requires? Whether it can store a UNICODE character in the string. How internally it is implemented, using a 1 byte char array or 2 byte unicode char array? I read somewhere that Java's char data type is 16 bit wide.
