How do you make programs???

[zigar]

gawd some people....

if you use a multiphlanged codebase with frontpage you can make superduper progs...it's the phlangedness that makes it work

EDIT: i guess i should answer the first question...as it was a valid question...it was the replies that got me...waaay more secure...lmao

anyways...check out this thread....it's a good start....

sorry, you know us linux geeks try and avoid anything microsoft, i just thought that frontpage was a WYSIWYG HTML editor.......... hell im still trying to pronounce "multiphlanged" i have no clue what it means

many-fingered, if I recall correctly!

ok, zigar, frontpage? how dose he make a program? frontpage? i fail to make the connection there.

ok you wanna learn to program, open up sound recorder in windows. record your your voice saying what exactly you want the program to do (you need to be spacific) and then change where it the file is named. you need to change the last 3 letters that should be .wav you need to change it .exe then all you do is double cllick on it and come back and tell us how it works

LMAO, if that did anything other than crash, I'd be very surprised.

argh....someone finally asks a legitimate question, yes funny, but still.

newhack: Like some of the members mentioned, you write programs using a programming language and a compiler (in a nutshell).

Programming languages depending on which one you choose to learn are very, very complicated and take time to get really proficient at.

Some good ones are: C, C++, Visual Basic - for windows applications.

they are the most mainstream and are highly documented. Next writing an Operating system is beyond the scope of possibility at this time. It is a HUGE task that take many people and years to complete. Thats why there are so few to choose from.

gook luck.

this thread really shows how ignorant the average computer user is... even the ones that know enough to find a board like AO...

sad sad sad sad...

found a neato one in written entirely in asm...but yes it's open source and several years in the making and many many very smart people worked on it....

The goal of V2_OS first started as making a stunningly fast operating system for video processing. This goal held for all versions until 0.70, where a major redesign was forced.

The 0.70 versions are completely different, still aimed for maximal performance, though. These are the major features of V2_OS 0.70:

Single addressing space (SAS), this was to avoid far jumps in the code. Far jumps means loading 8 bytes for a single jump to another position in code. Using SAS we more or less force the coders to use shorter jumps (4 bytes to load for one jump), which makes modules smaller.

It is oriented towards the Object Oriented Programming (OOP), which makes even your assembly code able to use OOP.

It is not using any kind of memory protection from start, which enhances the perfomance compared to other systems. This is because the CPU will not have to check for permissions.

V2_OS 0.70 uses a static call table, a table with pointer to commands. This means that you can easily replace system functions with your own system functions. You can, for example, replace the malloc command, which reserves memory for your application, with a new memory allocator which you have coded yourself - maybe with some extra features? This change then instantly takes effect for all running applications.

Start by learning a programming language like C or one of its cousins (C++, Java, or javascript) or consider VB or VBscript depending on what you need to do. PERL is a good language to know. Really it all depends on what you want to do with your program.

So lets say you kind of know a language and want to code a simple program.

Define your problem -- What do you want it to do.

Determine what you inputs, outputs, and your processing will be -- What variables will have to be declared, what user input you need, what you want it to do with that input, and what you want the results to look like.

Select a solution -- Find what steps you will have to take to get from point A to the end.

Break the solution into manageable sections -- accomplish tasks one at a time and put them all togather when you are done.

Test your code...

Modify your code..

Test your code...

If you are a Linux user then rumor has it that most flavors come with C compilers among others. A PERL environment is available at http://www.perl.org If you are wanting specific techniques then you have to be specific with your request. Buy a book on the language you want to learn, but I would recommend you buy a book on basic programming first as it will save you tons of time debugging if you use good technique when developing your code.

shhhhhhh...... dont tell him that, i was hoping hed come back saying that its not working

[Scorp666]

LMAO LoggOff, your way doesn't work I think I will burn it to a CD and try it on another computer! Or maybe I should transfer the wave to mp3 before changing it to exe???
