    Posted · Edited by Naming is hard

    Hey everyone, the 21 will be my b-day and iv already gotten my money.

    So i want a new Hard drive cause the one i have now is only 80GB with about 26GB left.

    The only question i have is, is there anything i need to know befor i go out and shop for a harddrive?

    EDIT: Oyeah and ill be dual booting Windows and Linux(Ubuntu) will that matter on the harddrive? or is that more the processor.

  11. Pong

    Posted · Edited by Naming is hard

    Heh, Simplist pong game you could make.

    I couldn't get the scoring working for 2players or change the balls direction in mid-game so the ball starts off at an angle.

    Still took me about aday though.

    EDIT:

    Opps i forgot to say, W and S for player one, and Up and Down arrows for player two.

    I'd attach it but it wont upload .py

  13. Mouse Responding (somehow Got Here Without One Xd)

    Hey everyone,

    so i wake up this morning, i turn on the computer and my mouse is stuck in the middle of the screen,

    so i reset, i make sure its pluged in, i plug it into a different USB slot, i keyboard my way to mouse settings and its not even seen by the computer, although the mouse is lite up, after about 20mins i here "beep" (The sound it makes when you plus something into a USB slot) and the mouse works! w00t happy right? 20seconds later its dead again.

    Sooo what could it be?

    the mouse is kinda old but i dont think its dead cause like i said the lasers lite up.

    Windows XP Home, Mouse drivers all there, many different slots, USB slot working with other devises, no other

    mice to try.

    Hey, heres a peice of code that wont compile the error i get is,

    "'minus' was not declared in this scope"

    // pointer to functions
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    int addition (int a, int b)
    { return (a+b); }

    int subtraction (int a, int b)
    { return (a-b); }
    int (*minus)(int,int) = subtraction;

    int operation (int x, int y, int (*functocall)(int,int))
    {
      int g;
      g = (*functocall)(x,y);
      return (g);
    }

    int main ()
    {
      int m,n;
      m = operation (7, 5, addition);
      n = operation (20, m, minus);
      cout <<n;
      return 0;
    }

    Minus should be global...shouldn't it?

    If I change:

    int main ()
    {
      int m,n;
      m = operation (7, 5, addition);
      n = operation (20, m, minus);
      cout <<n;
      return 0;
    }

    To:

    int main ()
    {
      int m,n;
      m = operation (7, 5, addition);
      n = operation (20, m, subtraction);
      cout <<n;
      return 0;
    }

    obivouly it works but thats not the point >_< why isn't minus global?

    btw i got the code from a tutorial located at

    http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/pointers.html
