I figured it was an anagram for QWERTY, and hadn't fully understood the reason that E was missing, but that makes sense. What I like about it is that the processing of instructions meanders around at the whims of the code itself; it doesn't start at the 'top' and march to the 'bottom' except for branch statements. It literally FLOWS in any of 4 directions, and you have to interpret the code in the direction the processor will be viewing it. It makes it kind of a cross between a language and a game!

Yeah, that's what I was trying for when I made it...

Making the compiler was really hard... have you ever tried compiling something like THAT? I did it though, basically by making an "inline" interpreter.

I wrote a Visual Basic-like compiler once for a company. It generated native 80x86 instructions, mostly function calls through a passed-in table of functions. So it was faster than most interpreters, but slower than 'real' compiled code. But not by much!

You could have a visual-interpreter where it displays the grid and executes very slowly, maybe bolding the charactor being looked at. That would be fun to watch the program run.

Hello everyone, my name is Sandra aka Sukiebaby. I'm glad I found this forum, for I need lots of help . Taking a college course in C++ programming and I jsut cant seem to get that lightbulb to come on .

I'm a single parent, living in The Bronx, NY and work for Verizon over 26 years. Finally going back to school to get my Bachelors Degree in Information Systems.

Hey
Just joined more from a 'HELP!!!!' point of view, although in some rare circumstances maybe I can acually be of some use..mainly use computers for music and doing my label's website..and work of course..other than that ski-ing, music and arty stuff is all good..

hi i am amjad ali from SWAT.

there is nothing special about me which i should discuss.
the only thing is that i am just simple and friendly but onl to those who are friendly to me .

i hope this introduction is fine enough.

Hi folks! Well aren't you a nice bunch! I came here looking for answers on how to fix this friggin' mess my comp is on after a hell of a spy and adware attack. I have no idea where I picked it up, but after 5 days I managed to get rid of it. It took a lot with it, tho, and I'm not sure what or how to fix things, except with an AK47 and I'm fresh out. So, I'm picking the brains of people who know about this stuff, since I sure don't. I DO know that if there's any thing stupid, strange, "how the hell did you manage that" that can happen? I'll be the one it'll happen to, and that applies to my comp as well as my life.

About me...uh.......I was born in Iceland, live in Chicago, hate it a LOT, am a tall blonde nordic goddess with a very smart mouth that kills that whole Ice Queen fantasy pretty damn dead right there (heehee). I have a web site I mess with (I don't know what I'm doing with that, either) that averages about 4 million hits a year
which is a shame because I barely know how to put a page together, so most of the mail I get is about how sucky my interface is. I'm good at graphics, tho and backgrounds and fonts and make CD art for bands, so pffft on the HTML. Sez me. Maybe I'll meet a hamdsome Geek I can use for his coding expertise and then throw away like used Kleenex?
Thanks for being here and Dani, I've made you an offical nordic goddess

Hehe, thanks Wrennika! Welcome everyone - It seems like this last group of lurkers is a nice mix between people seeking tech support help and computer programmers Glad to welcome everyone together to join our community.

hay csgal is that pic yours under ur id.?

looks like i have to add mine also ;-)

I've been here a while as you all know but I haven't really ever introduced myself...


I come from a small country town in Australia in the southern part of the Queensland State. I am very fortunate to have gained an IT traineeship specializing in software while I defer for UNI as this town doesn't have alot to offer... my main duties at work include programming and graphics design. I am engaged to a girl I love, we have been going out for over 8 months and yeah we're probably too young and yeah 8 months isn't long enough, but I know it's right. She has just gone away to Brisbane (Queensland capital city) for a ballet school for a week. In 8 months, this is the longest we have ever been apart. I just received the rest of my AWESOME machine today and will be assembling it tonight so I can finally feel some power at my fingertips . Anyways I'm so tired I could sleep upside down.

Anything else you wanna know?
