Delphi

VB sucks.

If you want an easy language, go Delphi (aka object pascal).

If you want a descent language go either: C#, C++ or Java.

ridiculous. visual basic works wonders and it's more intuitive than c. and java... come on please.

for what concern me, perfect choice zodiac.

[Argg0]

I never said C or Java were easier than VB... I said Delphi is.

[Xifanie]

Well, to make it short, I lost my VB6 CD.

Then I had to choose 120mb Delphi or 680mb VB6.

After 3 days of dling Delphi here I am.

I read a lot about Delphi and they all said it was easier than VB if with any Pascal experience. Else it was harder.

Well, since I never really liked the fact that you could see the source code with notepad of a compiled VB program, I'll do my best to learn Delphi.  

[Xifanie]

So, in other words it starts...

NOW!

[Argg0]

If you need any help/have doubts, feel free to ask.

I'm not experienced in Delphi as I'm in C++, but I think I'll be able to help.

Are you using Borland?

Not sure about other compilation programs, but, in Borland, Ctrl Space is your friend.

[Xifanie]

What you could C++ this whole time and never volunteered to make a program? <_<'

内乱罪!!

Yeah, Borland. Anyone ever created any other Delphi compiler?

[Argg0]

I only findout you needed help coding a while ago...

And I did offer help, more than once.

All offers got ignored...

[Xifanie]

Well, I thought you said you weren't very familiar with hex editing...

And as for coding it's the first time I read that you can code.

Not to mention that I don't want anyone to:
Patch file, Import in CD mage, then load Savestate.
rofl.

Anyway it's too late now. Coding is a useful skill and I already started.

And I have to say Delphi 'feels' much more reliable than VB. So I don,t regret my choice.

[Argg0]

My univercity is about Informatic (it's not CS though), more focused on programming.

I've never had a reason to go on hex things... If I actually knew what you guys need, I could help, go after knowladge.

But I don't know what you need exactly. Without knowing what you need exactly, I can't help.

[Xifanie]

I'm not sure myself. XD

[Argg0]

Yeah, that's common.

So common that I have two subjects just for this problem (user not knowing what he wants, finding out what he wants).

Too bad that I suck at it and almost failed on the first one and might fail on the second (still on it).

[Xifanie]

Huh? Ã"_o

I don't follow you anymore

[Argg0]

The client (who wants the software) not knowing what he wants.

That's common.

[Xifanie]

Ah, lol  

[Xifanie]

Hey, I do have one question.

Private/Public what's the difference? Is is that you can only use a define variable in the current function if it's private? I never really got it in my Java class. I kept making everything public.

in answered you twice or trice and never heard anything from you  

[Argg0]

I found the info rather vague when you said... >_>

Don't remember why I didn't reply. I think I stoped caring or something...

Private means that only the class that possess it can alter/use that thing.
Public can be changed by stuff outside the class.

Basically, it's a security thing. If you don't want to accidently mess up use private.

If you make everything public and take care while coding, there will be no difference.

Hadn't enough time yesterday for some Delphi or even to answer most topic, so just wanted to say thanks.
