Hey McLake, how is software engineering compared to computer systems engineering? Are they really different or similar? thanks

Even if they are hoaxes, they still classify them as viruses. Millions of dollars are still lost from hoaxes according to virus companies. Not sure if i believe them though.

heheh, yeh i know. The VB bit was only created the last day before the project was due, so i was pretty much in a rush. I even forgot to change the app name, lol its still called "form1". But i wasnt marked down for any of that. I was too buisy getting the actual game to work then to worry about...

Well in my most unbiassed oppinion, id have to say NEVER go for redhat. I used to use it back when they had their 6.xx versions untill their 8.0 version which turned crap. It slowed the computer down and had allot of memory problems. So i swapped to slackware 9.0 and havent looked back since...

heheh Thanks. Stuck in grass? Never had that before. But when u drive through the grass, the car is meant to slow down a little. Getting stuck in the boundary or the wall is more common. Ive got a bug somewhere in my collision detection algorithm which i cant fix. Use your boost to escape out...

Thanks Winston. The actualy game was coded in c++. However with c++, its difficult to use menus, and mouse events etc... with out knowing windows programming. So, i desided to create a VB launcher with all the menus and command buttons for the sake of not loosing marks, lol. Driving up to...

With the second car, it needs a player to control it. However, if u want to make a 1 player game i will need to get the car to figure out were its going to go next for every frame. The CPU will calculate the next position on the fly while the game is running for every frame. The position or path...

Artificial Intelligence.

Were's the choice for "All except OSX"? :D Nah seriously, all are good at a certain thing (depends on what u do with it). e.g. u cant say linux is better than windows for gamming and you also cant say windows is better than linux for its stability. :) So they're all good in my book (except...

2 player game. Im gonna add some AI for the second car soon. :=) http://home.iprimus.com.au/ninos85/Project/cnrProject.zip

Thats the whole point of .net i believe. Microsoft are trying to replace Java with .net so it is meant to be a cross platform alternative to java. However, i dont think linux will give in to .net so Java will still be the one.

Yes.

HT hardly makes a difference anyway. In some cases, it may slow your application down (if it doesnt support HT). However, the latest p4's with 800mhz FSB are currenty the fastest but for the price i would go for an XP 2500+ (good performance/price ratio) and as Winston said, motherboard with...

Lucky we didnt have to print out the source code. My game had over 2k lines of code in C. How long did it take to print all those pages Winston? lol and whos printer did u use? :p

I know its not OSX. It must have been darwin though, was a long time when i read it.

What did u code it in? BTW: Congrats on your result.

Their was (is?) a rumour that Apple are thiking of porting their OS for x86 processors. Would be great if its true. If not, then there is no way im ever buying a MAC, especially with their prices.

Yeh logic gates are pretty cool. I got this program that lets u design logic circuits and allows u to actually run your circuit (using switches for input and LED'S or other stuff for output). I made a simple 1/2 Adder and a "Minuser" lol, cant think of a better name. :D

Oh damn! I wish we were told about that. :(

Wat do u mean about the HECS? About the transfer thing, wouldnt u need something like atleast a credit average (or whatever those mark things are called) to transfer? lol thanks
