Major Project (1 Viewer)

[neester]

Personally
I have been programming since i was about 13.
So i have learnt heaps.
My dad is a software engineer, so he helped me out along the way.

Im topping the couse @ my school.
And im topping IPT @ my school too.

but yeah, like i said my dad helped me get where i am now...


as for my major
Im making a website.
in PERL.

I got my major last week...and im already almost finished the programming section of it...

Im making a web-browser in VB..its kinda easy, so im gonna be adding lots of extras to the web browser, such as a calculator and stuff...

does anyone have any ideas as to what else i can add to my browser?

 

[:: ck ::]

anti pop ups we would all love that in a web browser (even if u can get progs for it)

There's propaganda enough for you. It's a browser in its own right, and has anti-popups/scripts built in.

</Propaganda>

Chriswong: If you use the VB wizard to make your web browser, I'm going to have to come around to your house and try to harm you with a butter knife.

The reason it's so 'easy' is because there's:
A) A pre-made control that uses the IE engine.
B) A wizard in VB that does it all for you, buttons and everything.

Lazy gyet.

(The secret is out, now. Time to change your project plan.)

hahha damn i thought he was smart progrmaming nerd for a second till i looked at the wizard

 

[Garick]

i have NIH syndrome, so im building DnD character generator in VB. It looked easy, but ive been adding so many thing to it im having to learn a lot of extra functions to make it work correctly.

our teacher is awesome, he lets us use any programming code we want, and makes sure that the marking of the projects is weighted more towards documentation then the program itself. Basically that means you could have ultra leet programmer skillz, but without decent documentation of what youve done, your not going to get very good marks.

 

[ezzy85]

with the project, what kind of documentation do you guys have to make after the folio? what do you hand in when the teacher marks your programs?

 

[Ragerunner]

it should say on the assessment sheet your teacher gave you.

Also how do i make it so i can turn my program into an install exe so i can put it all into 1 file and have the teacher extract them ?

inno setup - http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

 

[Kn1ght_M4r3]

Well if you using microsoft visual studio 6 [im not sure about the others] just go into you start menu then programs-> microsoft visual studio 6 -> microsoft visual studio tools -> Package & Deployment Wizard and it will do everything for you. =0)

HoPE that helpz.

 

[Fiona]

Ooh I just tried that and ended up with a crapload of files... should I just use the Setup file? No I guess everything should be included... Ja?

 

[Kn1ght_M4r3]

Umm i think u will need the cabnet file, the setup.exe and the setup.lst file. =0)

But i think it depends on which 0pti0n u chose in the beginning.
and if u want t0o add sub folders to. Found out from here:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Pro...ages/Visual_Basic/VB_Controls/Q_20583340.html

i think ill try it and ill tell you how it g0es.

 

[del]

make sure all the VB runtimes are in your setup as well...

 

[haz_it_all]

NOT FAIR our teacher told us that we'll be markd 95% on the documentation n 5% on the project itself....but hey its helped cuz trials + HSC are comin up and u dont need to kno shit bout coding, only the theory n documentation

 

[hurrotisrobbo]

Except maybe pseudo-code... Which, depending on the type of project you're coding, may not get a look-in.

 

[Beaky]

We were allowed to do anything...

I did a SDD HSC tutor... (learnt a bit about software whilst building)

But a couple used RPG Maker (classified as RAD) and it turned out heaps well...

I was pretty happy with my mark i think round 97%...

 

[Kn1ght_M4r3]

w0w beaky sounds really good.
Congrads on that great mark and to the rest as well

well our teacher has mad a real specific outline of where we would get lots of marks and its kind of spread out throughout so yeah, u would have to be conisistent in all 3 stages to get a good mark so yeah. mines due on august 18th so don't know when im gonna get my mark back but would love to get it asap

1st stage i got - 19/20
2nd state - still waiting

oh welpz. ehhehe well congrads to all who got those great marks once again

 

[-X-]

Cool...We just handed our projects in (about a week ago).

I made a simple 2 player gta style game in c++ using opengl graphics. Still waiting for the marks

I think our assessment was 80% docuemntation.
