programming projects

Post Reply New Topic

So has there been any recent colaborration amongsts programmers here? A wrong planet programming project would be awesome!

Any ideas? What are your skills? Would you be interested?

I'm interested. My finals are coming up soon so I should have time. Only other thing I'll be doing is other programming projects.
I can only really write Java at the moment, so chances are I can't help too much if you use another language, but I'd like to observe nevertheless. :3

I know html, javascript, css, php, cgi and some flash, but I have a hard time completing projects, so I don't know what kinda role I would take in a thing like this. I do have lots of ideas for solutions and I know what is possible to program and what is not, mostly, so perhaps "ideas for solutions"-man could be my part.

Take a look at the thread Attention, Programmers: Want to Make Wrong Planet Mobile?.

C#. vb.net, C/C++, Java (bit rusty), I can learn new languages quickly when needed.

We could start with something easy such as a severe weather notification program. I wrote one of these a couple of years ago. It would monitor the National Weather Service's website for Hurricane, Severe Thunderstorm, and Tornado Warnings. When it detected a new warning within the three county area where I live, it would call my phone phone and relay the warning. This is necessary for me because weather alert radio signal does not adequately reach where I live. I wrote the program in C, but would be willing to use Java or C++ as well. Also, the program worked in conjunction with the Asterisk phone switch program. The reason a rewrite is necessary is due to the fact the National Weather service changed its alert format.

I wouldn't be good for mobile programming, but I do know (and keep refreshed my knowledge on) C#. Get me a team and and a goal and I'll contribute. Sorry, I don't know any other languages (apart from a novice's knowledge of html), but I can easily expand my C based knowledge.

I would say my strengths are:
Graphics and stuff
Mathematics based programming
Interface design
Data retrieval



In short, I'm interested.

I've been somewhat interested in making a telnet/dial-in interface to this site for a little while (reminiscent of BBSs) - but I've been waay too busy to even figure out what all that would entail.

I do not know how to code in Java.

I am proficient in C programming, GTK UI programming, Bash/AWK. I am a beginner in NASM Assembly, python, and JavaScript. So, a project in any of the following is fine by me.

BTW, I am a hardcore Linux user. I swear by it and will not 1000 of a running Windows OS lol

Java is a great language though!

That's good to know! You would be very handy with a web based project or a person to help with logic and finding solutions! I do not have much experience in the web area though, except JavaScript. Which is awesome BTW. Reminds me of C. Any ideas for a web based project or a even a general project??

This sounds like an awesome idea, though I do not know how to program in Java. I would say most phones have android as an OS with has Java as a front end. Even if I am not a part of that, I think that should be done!! Its such a great idea!

Ideas??? I really like the idea of making wrong planet mobile. I have no experience in this area though. I am like you though; I pick up languages very easy because of my C background.

Not sure what you mean exactly. I absolutely love socket programming! It can get very complicated though!

The programming language is actually Scala, which can run on top of a Java or .NET CLR virtual machine; in this case, we're going with a JVM. Android actually runs on top of a customized Linux kernel and uses the Dalvik virtual machine, which isn't quite the same as Java.

In this case, we're not talking about a mobile-device app that runs on iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, etc.; we're talking about a web app that runs on a server and generates HTML5 that the end user can view using Mobile Safari, the Android browser, etc.

You seem to know what needs to be done. So where can we start? I gave a list of languages that I know pretty well. A list I have began to use 6 months ago and some that I play around with. So if you want to do this I say let's give it a try.

BTW, I think JavaScript has functions like webview to mobilize web content.

Can we just completely rewrite WrongPlanet's software? I would contribute to that project.
