...while many things seem good on paper, they often don't work out as planned in practice.

-Hindsight is twenty-twenty. It is always easier to see old mistakes than to predict or anticipate new ones
-Instead of providing a political opinion, come up with a political solution and apply it. If you can do that, you can lead a nation and anybody will follow your ideals.

Agreed.

@Netham, they always try to censor things more than what they already are, especially video games, but it never really works out lol. And you got me on the Bush thing :P

@Qwerty, I can't "prove" it, per se, but I think it would work a lot better. Give money to the mom-and-pop businesses. They buy goods/services from other companies, who in turn do the same with larger companies, so on so forth. That, to me, sounds a lot better than giving money to banks and car dealerships who ended laying people off and giving their CEOs benefits :/

Careful with your generalizations there, boot ;)

1: I haven't noticed any cuts in my school that the school themselves did not intend to cut.
2: No, SOME of them are pushing to censor TV and radio more than what it is now.
3: Since when did republicans want a theocracy?
4: Where did you hear that? And wasn't it Obama and the democrats who gave billions of dollars to banks in hopes of a trickle-down effect when it obviously wouldn't work that way (and didn't), when a trickle-up effect is what would've been better?

Apparently we need to be 18 for a month before we vote :/ if not, then woot because my birthday is October 19th so I'd have plenty of time :D

flyingfisch, it's not really bashing. I think the democratic party in general doesn't really have much faith in him either. And I agree with jkag too. just because you say you're in a party doesn't mean you need to compromise or change your beliefs. I only change my opinion if I convince myself otherwise (I'm stubborn like that) but because I'm conservative in many ways, I generalize myself as republican.

@will, Dreamweaver because pretty much everything Adobe makes is amazing lol. If you already know HTML, it's very good IMO (I've tried NVU, and own DW CS5.5 and MS Expression 4 Ultimate, all paid for :P)

I'm sorry Snake, I must've deleted the notification for this :( but yes, the Incredible 2 is 3G. Have you gotten your dream phone yet, though? :D

My school has a zero-tolerance policy with drugs. If you get caught once with even pretending to have them (i.e. a bag of sugar in your pocket), you get 10 days OSS, a $150+ fine, and you're put up for possible expulsion. Still, out of 484 kids in my class (not school. Huge, I know), about 75 drink, smoke, or do some kind of drugs. I expect that number to go up because some parents took the school to court saying that random drug tests are "unconstitutional" and the judge ruled in their favor, so no more of those.

There's a Walmart literally right next to my school and I went to a football game last night and in its parking lot there were plenty of kids smoking and nobody doing anything about it. I found it somewhat amusing, to be honest.

 I'll post one if I ever clean my desk <_< hopefully that'll be sometime today lol. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L675 and my desktop is a Dell Inspiron 531 (I'm planning on making my own soon, though)

Count me in! I say we start at the top of the list and make our way down. Would we also be providing reviews for the files, or just rate them?

Computer Programming / Bresenham's line algorithm help
« on: September 15, 2011, 05:19:51 pm »
EDIT: Nevermind, I solved it. I fixed my interpretation in case anyone else needs to use it.

I've been looking at Bresenham's line algorithm for something that I'm working on, and I can't seem to get it to work. I tried using the first sample algorithm that is on the wikipedia page, but my line stays stationary. I tried making my own one based on the article itself, but it only works in two positions (the line is either horizontal or perfectly diagonal).

Article: [wikipedia]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm#The_algorithm[/wikipedia]
Spoiler For their algorithm:
function line(x0, x1, y0, y1)
     int deltax := x1 - x0
     int deltay := y1 - y0
     real error := 0
     real deltaerr := abs (deltay / deltax)    // Assume deltax != 0 (line is not vertical),
           // note that this division needs to be done in a way that preserves the fractional part
     int y := y0
     for x from x0 to x1
         plot(x,y)
         error := error + deltaerr
         if error ≥ 0.5 then
             y := y + 1
             error := error - 1.0
Spoiler For my translated version of their algorithm:
int deltaX = x2 - x1;
            int deltaY = y2 - y1;
            double error = 0;
            double deltaErr = (double)(Math.Abs((double)deltaY / (double)deltaX));
            int y = y1;
            for (int x = x1; x <= x2; x++)
            {
                this.PxlOn(x, y);
                error += deltaErr;
                if (error >= 0.5)
                {
                    y++;
                    error--;
                }
            }
Spoiler For my algorithm:
            for (int x = x1; x <= x2; x++)
            {
                int y = (((y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)) * (x - x1)) + y1;
                this.PxlOn(x, y);
            }
            //x1 in mine is equivalent to x0 in theirs. x2 in mine is x1 in theirs.
I've attached what my algorithm (not my translation of theirs) looks like.
