I am on the latest version of Windows 10, running with SWI-Prolog 7.6.4, and trying to get JPL (Java <->Prolog) running for a school project. I've not had to deal with path issues much but I have done my best to understand the problem. I've added the necessary import statements …

I am confused about this. I am using Unity 2019.3.f1, Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio 2019 community. While attempting to build an ECS enabled game, I have run into these problems. 1. Multiple errors complaining that a namespace symbol can't be located (paraphrasing here, exact errors: CS0103, CS0426, etc.), …

Looking to create an asset for the Unity Asset store in C#. I don't want to give away the source code, yet I want users to be able to purchase + download my work and use it in their projects. I'm not sure what this is called or how to …

I want to develop a piece of software that other developers can use in their projects. It has to be active at runtime however, and perform some standard functionality every time the application runs. It is essentially software that provides extra functionality to the application developer and its users... I'm …

Hey so I am trying to finish up a lab that I did not finish during a class this summer. The goal is to have the computer navigate an ASCII maze on its own. We use left/right hand rule to find our way through the maze. IE. you have your …

Hello. I'm using Unity3d to create a simple turret simulation and I have run in to a problem. I need to find the angle to an object from the turret in 3d space. Up to this point I thought I could just take the (arc)trig values retrieved from certain perspectives …

So I have a phone screening for an intern position coming up on Wednesday. I had a moment this weekend when I realized that I know more about procedural programming (and problem solving) than I do about OOP, though I do consider myself a strong programmer. For someone who has …

I'm working (rather beginning) on a Huffman tree. I think I've run in to a problem for time complexity. Huffman trees are supposed to be fast in most ways. As I prepare to build my tree, I have three for...next loops in separate methods. I think that could be very …

I'm pretty good with Java but I would like to learn to create interesting things with C++ or C. At the moment I have to ask: Why do all of these IDE's and libraries make it so damn difficult to set up an environment for programming? Personally I believe programming …

I'm working on a simple encryption program (for school). It is not currently "homework" just FYI, I'm just practicing the examples in the book. It uses a Caesar's Cipher method (an alphabetical shift). I have not tested this code very much. If something is wrong with it I probably don't …

I just need to know if its possible and how. I had an incident once on a message board I frequented where someone's signature displayed info about my PC and internet connection to me rather than an actual artsy-fartsy signature. I'm not new to this, I saw that type of …

I don't know that much about calculus, even less about Radians and polar coordinate systems. I need to find a point on the cartesian coordinate graph for my unity3d project. I know that the Mathf library with C# (or is it just Unity3d?) takes Radians as arguments, so I used …

I've been working on this project for about two weeks now. Essentially it checks the date, finds events for the day, tells you about them and even lets you plan new ones. Thinking this would be a great deal easier than it became, I thought I would have gotten further …

I'm sorry I keep having these strange problems but there's little I can do about them, they are unpredictable. I managed to fix the last one and I've been able to compile and run my programs. Now however I've run in to the *strangest *of problems, the one described in …

I've essentially copied a small project from another computer to this one. This one is running windows 8.1. What happens when I try to compile even a hello world cpp project I get this error: 'Fatal error: "iostream" No such file or directry' . I know this means the compiler …

I've been programming for a few years as a hobbyist but never actually created anything *useful* or complete. I've done the odd demonstration here and there. I want to get some ideas for software projects that I could work on to help me learn more. They don't even have to …

So I'm taking a Public Speaking course as part of my CS program, at a community college before I head off to a large university in a year to major in Computer Science. For the first graded speech of the class I must make a speech about a "process". Since …

Hello again! I want to understand how a particular software product works. Its a game and its completely moddable (uses lua for its game logic) yet most modders such as myself don't really understand how it all fits together. I asked something similar to this question a few months ago. …

Hello again I'm working with the Poco internet library trying to understand it but I have come across some syntax that I don't quite understand. This may be a beginner question. Here it is: Poco::AutoPtr<Poco::Notification> pNf (_queue.waitDequeueNotification); I know AutoPtr's contain a count of how many objects reference the object …

Hello again! I want to know what the best way to approach understanding how an application works is. I have a game that is highly moddable with Lua and I would actually like to do that. The problem is I don't know how to make sense of it all. There …

Hey-ya I'm learning Lua and kind of understanding it but I just don't understand some of the code on [this](http://lua-users.org/wiki/ModulesTutorial) Particularly the code inserted into this post. I would just like someone to comment it and explain what its doing so that I may understand. The page referenced lacks comments …

I need to know if AV software would interfere with my programming hobby. I'm asking this not because I'm writing some kind of malicious code but because I've noticed strange errors when doing things with my programming. For example I'm interested in modding a game with Lua, but after downloading …

So I've begun using a library called Poco. My program doesn't do what its supposed to yet I've checked over everything. The code is: #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <Poco/Debugger.h> #include <string.h> #ifdef POCO_ARCH_LITTLE_ENDIAN std::string endianness = "Host byte order is Little Endian.\n"; #else std::string endianness = "Host byte order …

I can program with C++ though I'm just a novice at it. I'm using Microsoft's Visual Studio Express 2010 but I don't entirely understand what I'm doing. I can use a library after a great order of frustration but I would like to make this easier. Are there any web …

Hi again guys this time I have a question about computer security that's related to my programming hobby. I hope this isn't against the rules. I am asking this out of curiosity and concern, not because I want to do evil. However thanks to some knowledge I gained from a …

I was thinking about a question I asked last week that someone answered very well. The person said that no program can interface with the hardware in the same was as the OS. That statement prompted another question and what better place to ask it than here, right? Well how …

Just out of curiosity I was wondering how library developers created their own string classes. I am sort of a novice with programming but I tried creating my own string class to prove that I could do it. What I wasn't able to solve was how to create an array …
