I am 24, and as such I have begun programming 2 years ago. I don't know anything other pretty good then C++. Sure I can html, and bit of javascript, tcl and Bash, but that's it. I spent most of my time learning C++, because my main course of action is to learn something trough and trough. Amazingly, there is always enough new to learn after you'r done with the syntax. I think you made a good choice to learn C++, because it is a realy versetaile language with many many applikation areas.

It's all to do with the hips, if there is nothing on the hips, the soldier can shift his weight here and their very swiftly. After months of vigarous training, a soldier can jump onto a 3 metre wall within 2 seconds, or so. Oh and by the way, whoever said "Gung Foo". lol, it's Kung Fu.<span id='postcolor'> hehe, yeah, I'v heard of this Kung foo. And after a year of training the soldiers walk on top of bamboo forests, not touching the ground. They can jump like in matrix and break walls like agents. Geeze, why isn't the military deploying this? Just imagine an Army of modern warfare Kunf foo monks... ( why can't we jump in OFP?? btw. and train it till we can play unreal? )

This is why little girls are praised for interest in "boyish" activities, but boys who do the opposite are seldom tolerated. So such a character, by his fairy-like qualities and appearance, represents a literal blaspheme against their "god". No wonder few stage productions have dared to cast a male for this character! (Disney alone has had the guts to do so time after time.) Yet it is for these very reasons that this character suits me perfectly. Besides, the God of Love that Jesus spoke of is the only one I serve. Too bad modern religion seems to have missed that. *cough to end the gay vioce* Thats what peterpan man has to say on the subject<span id='postcolor'> Geeze, have you trown the dice over you are going to defend a this pathetic or what? Has the dice choosen you to be the Peterpanman? I have nothing against a Man with a female side, but I have something against completely pathetics!! I mean, a women couldn't even do it the same. She couldn't resist to make it look good, why can't he??

Yes, excelent point. What about the gun he shot himself with? Wont they sue the manufacturer for this too? And what about the room furniture he killed himself in. It was the place he choose to die, maybe the furniture producer is wrong in his design.

Life's cruel, and it doesn't end very nice mostly. Man are weak and idiots die soon.

Ah, and before I forget. What you need to understand this. -In depth knowledge about pointers and arrays. -Familiar with Templates -Understanding of a recursive function call. And pay attention, this code is by no means error Save

Well, as I tend to do all the stuff myself, here is my solution. Btw, all compiles! This stuff here would go into some kind of header. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> /////////////////////////// // swaps pointers in a // pointer Array /////////////////////////// template <class dType> void swapPArr( dType** data, const int& index1, const int& index2 ) {  static dType* tmp;  tmp = data[index1];  data[index1] = data[index2];  data[index2] = tmp; } /////////////////////////// // Compares data // Arrays /////////////////////////// template <class dType> bool GreaterEqPArr( dType* v1, dType* v2, const int& dataSize ) {  if( dataSize )  {   if( *v1 < *v2 ) return true;   if( *v1 > *v2 ) return false;   return GreaterEqPArr( v1+1, v2+1, dataSize-1 );  }  return false; } /////////////////////////// // Sorts the pointer // order to data Arrays /////////////////////////// template <class dType> void quicksortPArr( dType** a, const int& l, const int& r, const int& dataSize ) {  int i, j;  dType* v;  if( r>l )  {   v = a[r];   i=l-1;   j=r+1;   for(;; )   {    while( GreaterEqPArr( a[++i], v, dataSize ) );    while( GreaterEqPArr( a[--j], v, dataSize ) );    if( i>=j ) break;    swapPArr( a, i, j );   }   swapPArr( a, i, r );   quicksortPArr(a, l, i-1, dataSize );   quicksortPArr(a, i+1, r, dataSize );  } } <span id='postcolor'> And now we can use these functions </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> void main() {  // Number of entrys  int size;  // counter  int i=0;  // the Pointer array  char** PArr;  // the Data Buffer size for the names  const int buffersize=20;  // Get the  number of names  cout << "Please enter the number of records with \"1\" as first..:";  cin >> size;  PArr = new char*;  // Get the names  for( i=0; i<size; i++ )  {   cout << "Enter record nr.\"" << i+1 << "\"..:";   PArr = new char[buffersize];   cin >> PArr;  }  // sort the pointer to the names  quicksortPArr( PArr, 0, size-1, buffersize );  // Print the new ordered names  for( i=0; i<size; i++ )  {   cout << PArr << endl;  } } <span id='postcolor'> Ok, this may seem quit a bit a lot of code. But what you have here is a template sort algorithm which accepts ANY pointer array. This means that you not only can toss char* at it, but also EVERY other type of data. As long as the data is comparable with > at the level of a cell ( remember, we got 2d table here ). Damn, there's a bug !! Gotta find out. Hang on a day or two.

Ok, here's the simple game. You gotta post a picture ( as image ) and it got to be the bigger gun then the gun in the last post. Restriction is, we are only aloud to change weapon category every third post!! To make the case not to difficult I will begin with something small.

Well.. actually. See, that was my missile bursting this star into his white age. And btw, this blurry things around it is what's left from explosion. And no, this isn't CGI. Fusion bomb, what are fusion bombs? Ah, I see, those little puffs on the surface of some smaller planets.

Hey, I don't want to rant about the starwars movies....BUT. If you where the constructor of this utterly great, immense, superb ultimate weapon. Wich has inside some very delicate parts wich react "sensible" on explosions and such. Would you build a channel right from the outmost shell into the delicate core??? Moreover, would place a fine little pathway towards the entry of this tunnel to a perfect shooting position? I mean, why havent they just placed the hole perpenticualr to the surface, enlighted it with some blinky red guidance light so the atacking pilot SURELY doesn't miss his target. the only thing missing is "Kick me, I am with stupid!!" sign on the back of the deathstar, where vader can't read it!!

uhm, ok, category change

Well not quite a hand gun, but still avaiable non apc mounted as a fast to build heavy defence. 40mm high explosive automatic gun.

Hey, I am swiss, and this thingys are used in our infantry ( we call this guys "füsiliier" or "Kanonenfutter" )

Hagakure, also worth a look. Quite another book, less about tactics n stuff, more about personal honor and decisions. Has on a personal level more to give I think, but offers less to general philosphy and tactics. Strangely some principles in this book helped me to play amost every Fps game better then before. ( Rainstorm and Form are two important keyparts in playing I think ).

And have you started to play with dices yet?<span id='postcolor'> Well, strangley I did a bit, and remembered that I played this game waaaaay back my youth a bit without knowing that somebody wrote a book about it. But after a while I realized that I was too lazy to live with the consequences, and gave it up. I stick with this decision till now( made it with eight or so ) But somehow, a bit of it is still here, I just need no more dice to do it. I am able to make decisions, and stick with them without the slightest reason. But many of my friends say I am a mad but intersting person anyway. I have also realized, on the example of different creative activities in my youth, that chance is an exiting thing, but I have better motivation to complete a task if I pick it myself. After all, I don't like to be commanded around. It's not that I like to be in controll, sometimes I enjoy letting go, but I don't want to have to decide when live plays his riddles with me and when not, because I can't. The whole live is dicing, without me willing in or not. So what's the throwing good for, they have been thrown anyway and I can't change it, so it's best to listen to my madness and make more crazy creative work. (Have I told, I spend my time drawing, modelling and programming ).

Hey, just went out with 48%, perfectly adjusted hetero. I am so lucky that the barbarian and the cute girl inside myself are well balanced. ( Barbarian is playing flashpoint, cute girl writes poems and draws ). I am just not so sure where to place my c++ habit, cute girl or barbarian? Btw, smoeone here on this bord adviced to read "The Dice Man" from Luke Rhinehart, it's pretty good!

look at www.planetmedalofhonor.com or type www.google.com, and paste "mohaa blood patch" in the search field, and then press the Search button. Blood patches are great, and renegade is not the same game. Moh plays in it's own leaque, renegeade too. Just not comparable.

Hey, all your answers are realy great, keep em comming. We have passed 1000 views, and votes still increasing, great! I hope we will hit 200 votes with this topic, but I don't know. ( slowly I begin to think that people are making new acounts, only to vote again in this topic ) What is a bit unfair for the developers is that if we want the physics improoved, we do also want netcode improoved. Physics in single player runs much better then in MP, and this not without reason. So if the demanding majority is asking for physics, they also got to fiddle around with the netcode. Anyways, keep the votes comming, and it would be great if a developer could drop a line or two of his opinion. Cheers

Dono if it has posted in this form, just wanted to make a poll for myself, once, and look what's the response.

Oh man, this topic seems to be a constant burner, but the votes seem to drop quite a bit at the moment. So everybody, plz vote. Word about resistance, I think they will have a very very hard start this time with their product. Because in very little time from now to Summer, a whole ton of great games will show up, wich could proove superiour to flashpoint in every aspect. I would wish that flashpoint stays the coolest military simulation, but I don't know. I don't know even If I want to play military simulations anymore. Tribes 2 was also my heart, and so could Chrome or Breed go, maybe along with Unreal Turnement 2.

I see, you just have some sort of security buissnes running, you keep backup copies of his games, and he keeps some of yours. For backup only of course!

Jap can't be bad, ODI says it all the time.

na, you sure?

I was just wondering, because I seem to go on the nerves of Hilandor, what is wrong about sensless posts in offtopic area. Maybe I get it all wrong, but what is offtopic here for then? I am sure you can help me. I mean, I do not post crap in general, or anywhere else, but in offtopic it seems to me more apropriate. I do not mean to spam, that's something completely different. If you spam you get a bang, clear and simple. But what about senslessing, I do not get the point realy. Please help outa here?
