Sure, in fact I thought you could learn from it, when I release the full version I will release the source code Except the only problem is that you have had trouble with Blitz ------------------ [This message has been edited by lava (edited January 22, 2006).] |

might I recommend this if you ever want to go TCP(As an example)? http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1467 Yet, this could be good. It would have the same problems with pong online, though. (routers, firewalls) [This message has been edited by firemaker103 (edited January 22, 2006).] |

hey lava... one thing, i'm not sure the search for game thing works... it just leaves it blank even when i know the game is there... oh and one thing, do you think you could post here when you are ready to test it with me if you want to... i can't find anyone to test it with... ------------------ |

I should have posted this as an update. Crazyishone tried testing it with me and it didn't work, so I am thinking (as he suggested), that if I had a server it would work. But we both have routers so there is no way to tell. Though it does work on great networks like in a router, as I have successfully tested it. ------------------ [This message has been edited by lava (edited January 22, 2006).] |

oh you have a router? it works if somebody without a router hosts it because my friend hosted it its just he has dialup and a slow pc so he can't run it for long and we never got to actually chat... i could join it tho... so any way, do you think i could have the source sometime soon? all i would need to do is set it up so that it makes you take turns and then rename it and i've got my thing... oh and how would i test it inside of a router? ------------------ [This message has been edited by buddboy (edited January 22, 2006).] |

I will have the source very soon If you have Win XP go on your Start menu and click on run, in run type in "command" after that loads, type in "ipconfig" and across from where it says "IP address" write that number down. When you open SlimChat and when it prompts you to choose a connection go to TCP/IP and type in the IP address in the slot click ok and where slot has you make a new game put in a name and click ok, have the other person do the same thing except when you put in the IP the other person can leave it blank and click enter, then they just have to wait for the game you named to show up on the list. Remember the program doesn't refresh completely, so if you think someone has typed something press space and it should refresh what they say. ------------------ [This message has been edited by lava (edited January 22, 2006).] |

I AM SO STINKING TIRED OF BLITZ!! What did you code this in? For some reason my stinking demo always comes up with a stupid error that cannot be fixed. This time it says it's expecting an EndIf, and i changed nothing, other than the title. That's it! That's all!! If you coded it in a different thing, tell me please! What was it that you coded it in? I did it in Blitz Plus and i am seriously mad... ------------------ |

oh, btw.. does it matter if you tab stuff over and such? or does it not matter? i mean, could you put everything on just one line and just keep going and it wouldn't matter? cuz that may be what is my problem... ------------------ |

I coded it in Blitz. Show me your source code and I might be able to help. By the way, isn't C++ and all of those other languages senstive to mistakes too? ------------------ [This message has been edited by lava (edited January 22, 2006).] |

Blitz somewhat understands one line. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Yeah, as a programmer your job is to make the code readable, and understandable for anybody who reads it (unless... in the rare instance you want to make the code hard to read...) But writing it in one line not only makes it impossible for other people to read it, but it makes it near impossible for you to debug your code, because if any errors occured they would always be in the same line, which could be a mile long. The purpose of tabbing over is to make the code easier to read, it is just a good habit to get into. ------------------ |

well, i only use blitz on those rare occasions when i need it... i don't actually have the full version of any of their... editors, i guess they're called... and CPU, i am already trying to get C++ figured out... i tried python... i got just a little confused... a lot confused is more like it... if you wanted to help me i might be able to convince my dad to let me try it... i just need to figure a couple things out with it and i'll be fine... but i have to re-download it (with my dad's permission, which is hard to get) and then learn the language... not easy. so, i guess until i can get C++ figured out or Blitz working, i'm stuck. plus, i don't really want to use the demo of blitz, or pay for it. ------------------ |

Just so you guys know, I posted the source of Slimchat in the code archives in case anyone wants it. ------------------ |
