Programming Software Development by trueframe To make a basic elevator simulation, first, identify the floors and the elevator's capacity. Then, use loops and conditionals in programming to mimic its movement. Include buttons for users to call the elevator and select floors. Test thoroughly for accuracy. Re: Using Natural Language to Query SQL Databases with Python LangChain Module Programming Computer Science by aishamushtaq very helpful Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by toneewa Some minor syntax fixes. Some things to consider are the collision and distance of drawing the next ball. A ball inside a ball's radius will cause numerous collisions. Even the starting ball locations can be already causing collisions. I added a collision counter display. Increased the maximum balls to make to 50. The timer delay can also impact … Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by toneewa I cleaned up the code some more. Removed some things that were not being used. I ran into a couple problems which caused the freeze you mentioned. It was memory heap space and array allocating. E.g., if x or y becomes negative, and also infinite recursion. I added a x/y coordinate display for a ball, and tinkered with the placement of the … Using Natural Language to Query SQL Databases with Python LangChain Module Programming Computer Science by usmanmalik57 The advent of large language models (LLM) has replaced complex scripts with natural language for automating various tasks. You can now use LLM to interact with your databases using natural language, which makes life easier for people who do not have sufficient SQL knowledge.

Static, dynamic, or is DHCP on? It reminds me of the time a network printer that stopped working, after the power went out. Other devices connected to the network after it's setup. Then, after rebooting, it got a different IP, but the host still thought it was on the old one. I've seen the same thing when… Re: Video is not the main content of the page Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by Dani You have the itemtype set to a VideoObject but, as you point out, only sometimes is there actually an .mp4 file. The rest of the time, it's a static image such as a png, jpg, or jpeg. Google probably doesn't trust your meta tags since they are inaccurate half the time. Re: Determine if email address is used by scammer Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by Puterwiz82 Thank you. It seems based on the email on Friday, they got mad I reposted it to spam. The same supposed police department has contacted previously. I attached the recent emails. ![IMG_3185.jpeg](https://static.daniweb.com/attachments/4/7b55edb5f07accf5e085c8309e4055be.jpeg) Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani Currently the thing I hate most about TV shows is how much time elapses between seasons. I feel like I've been waiting for season 2 of Severance on AppleTV for *forever*! (It's been over 2 years already since season 1 debuted.) Speaking of that, is there ever going to be a second season for Squid Game? I can't imagine that Netflix wouldn’t invest … Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim Fer sher. You pretty much have to watch the previous season again before you start the next one. I'm still waiting for season 2 of The Old Man (Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow). At my age sometimes I lose the thread if two weeks goes by between episodes. Sometimes I'll wait until the end of a season before I watch any of it. I especially hate it when a … Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by pritaeas > is there ever going to be a second season for Squid Game Yes, already announced, available soon. Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani That's my point, though. Gone are the days when a show would break for a summer and the next season would start up again in the fall. Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim >Gone are the days That's pretty much the case for everything. I remember when TV sucked all through summer vacation and I couldn't wait for the end of September for the new seasons to start. Of course it was bittersweet because September also meant back to school. I'll mention a few more things that may have been mentioned before but I … Re: Things I hate about TV shows Community Center Geeks' Lounge by KomalBhatt You know, there are few things more frustrating than getting interested in a TV show only to find it falling short of expectations. From the overly predictable plotlines to the underdeveloped characters, there's a huge list. But what really get irritated by is when the dialogue feels forced, like the writers are trying too hard to be clever or … Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by jprog1000 Thank you so much for your reply and additions! It is certainly working as I wanted. I will read through the code you have added and ask you any questions I might have. I hope you don't mind. Regards Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by Dani I’ll mark this question solved :) Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by Dani … oh, sorry, missed the bit about you still needing clarifications. Feel feee to ask :) I’ll now unmark this topic as solved. /facepalm Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by jprog1000 Hello, Thank you again so much! All your additions are clear, but it seems like whenever two balls collide, more than one ball is added to the arraylist and painted. Any way to have just one ball added to the panel for every collision? Have some kind of a toggle flag in paintcomponent? Regards Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by toneewa Yes, this is true. Overlapping ball spawns can do that causing a chain reaction. Something like that could be done. How you handle the spawning of the new ball is what I played with a bit before. You will see better collision detection changing to: g.fillOval(ball.getX(), ball.getY(), 1 * ball.getRadius(), 1 * ball.getRadius()); Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by jprog1000 Got it. Thank you so much! Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by vortex_1 In my opinion, implementing a feature in a bouncing balls simulation where a new ball is created when two balls collide can add an interesting and dynamic element to the simulation. This feature can introduce a sense of complexity and unpredictability, making the simulation more engaging and challenging for users. It could also provide an … Re: Bouncing Balls: Creating a new ball when two balls collide Programming Software Development by jprog1000 Great reply, vortex! Agree with all your points.
