I don't really know what you're asking...but I think you need the general forum, or the flash forum...

*cough* FLASH Forum...*cough*

man, bad whooping cough today...

In other news my dad now has an iPod and we are making a family music database on a 320GB external harddrive

Nice :). Oh, and by the way, your sig is freaking hysterical. That is the funniest little youtube video xD

Ah, I understand you. Yes, once the crawler finds new links, they are immediately available to be searched. The crawler runs every 15 minutes, so that means there will be new data quite often.

How in the world do you code a web crawler anyways? I've always wanted to know :) What language, and stuff?

Right, forgot about the - 1 because of 0. I just thew it out there :o
lol

So did I xD, and like I said...I was ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I'm really sleepy, and that probably wont look, I'll look tomorrow...

*probably wont *work*. Like I said, I'm sleepy.

Wait tho, that wouldn't be right would it? Wouldn't it also count the www, somesite, com, and gif? I think because you're using "." as the explode parameter...

maybe:

$url=http://www.somesite.com/?file=file.gif   <----Use the $_GET
$filename = $_GET['file'];
$explode = explode('.', $filename);
$c = count($explode);
$ext = $parts[$c];

Woot, thanks afro :D

Sup guys? I have a quick question that I've completely forgotten about :S. I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a link like this:

http://www.website.com/uploads/gif/11_17 _07/0001

Instead of:

http://www.website.com/uploads/gif/11_17 _07/0001.GIF

(the .gif at the end is what I'm wishing to get rid of, and it just say 0001.)

Anyone know how that's possible? I think it's .htaccess, but I can't remember how to do it xD. Any help is appreciated, thanks :D

Wow.

If being obnoxious and joining this topic just to spam was a language you would be a translator! :)

Nah, DFox Owns, and you're crazy.

I totally support you DFox :D

Well, I believe I'm going to get started in the real world of programming, and I'm going to start off with Java. I was wondering if anyone had any specific recommendations for a noob programmer, and I don't expect a bunch of technical terms, as I have no clue what most of them mean...yet. Anyways, I was just wondering how to ger started, I'm currently downloading something like, Java Creator Pro or something? It's an IDE that looks to suit my needs, so I'll try it out, unless you guys recommend something else xD. Anyways, just asking, thanks for the help :D

Correct me if I'm wrong in anyway. These are just my thoughts, I haven't really done any research yet since that day is still far away. School keeps me a little too busy at the moment.

You totally stole what I was going to say. Yea, Flash is great for cross-platform, so why not? I mean sure, flash isn't the fastest, but I'm nnot a retarded code junkie who uses every minute second of his time to optimize code so it goes .12384579561 second faster.

Guys, don't be such freaking jerks to the mods, the kinda like, run the place, ya know? Now, apologize to Afro-Ninja, because everyone knows he rocks :)

Look guys, there's no reason to argue. OS's are not made for programmers, they're made for COMMON USERS. Microsoft's market/consumers are NORMAL, EVERYDAY John Does, who know nothing about NT technology, or programming. They really just watt o be able to check email, add sons to their ipod, do some stuff for work, and be done with it. I used to think, yea Windows is stupid, but it's not made for us. It's made for the common people who really don't know what they're doing, and will believe anything that pops up on their screen, thus creating a huge market for the so called "Geek Squad," and they fix computers regularly because people do not know what they're doing. Sure, Unix and Linux are probably better for computer-literate people, but the reason people buy macs is for the simplicity. Mac's aren't built for programmers like us, they're built towards people's needs, and I believe people are beginning to forget this. Just miagine yourself as a stupid, computer-illiterate John Doe who just wants to turn his computer on to send an email. Well, I wouldn't want to go through a terminal, find some raw files to make the terminal work, I just want to turn my computer on, log in, click email, type my message and hit send. It's amazing, even today, people STILL hate computers because they don't know how to use them. Keep this in mind when you're getting mad at each other, these OS's are not built for us, they're built for normal people, and who knows, maybe someone will make an awesome OS for people who are developers and stuff, and it might be one of you guys, and if you want to, I say go for it ;).

Anyways, I hope you see what I'm getting at, and if you don't understand me, ask. I'm pretty sure I got my point across, so if you have questions, feel free to ask, but quit the bickering, it's an OS, geesh.

I believe it's like,

Tools > Toolbars > Properties, or something like that.

I've just reformatted my hard drive, so I haven't got flash re-installed :|

show us some of your work, and you might get some people interested :). I might be if I can see examples ;)

Well, I appreciate all of your input, it really helps a good bit. I believe I might start off with Java, as I already know the basics, and advanced-ness of AS2 and AS3. I was planning on making a game, you know, a great example is Maplestory, or WoW, not run from the browser, but online, as you play with other people. I'm not necesarily sure about going 3d quite yet, I may not be ready for it, who knows, I am however going to try out Java. I want to further busy myself in a language, where AS2, PHP, or AS3 don't count :). Thanks for the input guys, and what would you all suggest for a cross platform 2d online game, like maplestory (Maplestory Link)? I'd love to get started with online things, and I can't wait to see what you all have to say for me to learn :D

Sup guys? I was kind of wondering if anyone here has experience with online game production/creation? I was wondering what languages, and back ends most people tend to use, and why. I'm contemplating messing around with some server stuff for flash, but I figure it's better to use something like C++. If anyone knows what programming language, like XML is typically used for online games, please let me know, and I'd love some help getting started with development, as one day, I'd love to get my own online game out there. Please disregard the fact that I'm young, and it will never work, let's just forget that, and talk to me like I know somewhat of what I was doing xD. Anyway, any ideas?

I fully agree. It's so simple that it's hard.

Kinda like Linux for some people! :D

(sorry, had to put that there)

Anyway, yea, you're better off making your own 2D Engine instead of GameMaker. Personally, Flash is better implemented places as well, and you can run it on the internet in real time, and on a machine, whereas in GameMaker, you can only run it as an exe, and that's really annoying as I've found out, especially for a simple game you made. Now, if you're planning on going all huge game of the century type thing...yea, still use Flash.

If you need some free hosting, I believe I could provide you with some extra free space, dro pme a line if you're interested ;)

Hey, it's RPGBandit, kinda like, had to make a new account, as I never knew what happened to my original one. Decided on The Ryoku, meaning the Warrior. Anyway, I have some spare mysql space / hosting for a forum on my site if you need it, send me a pm, and I'd be glad to help ;)
