What "Hello World" is to the console, the "Bouncing Ball" is to the Graphical User Interface. Nothing fancy, the ball is created via a call to the API function ellipse() and then bounced within the confines of the windows form. For the DEV C++ crowd: Let me know if you …

There are many pictures of hearts out there. I just wanted to draw a picture of a heart on my own from a math formula I found on the net. Seems there are many formulas to find. This is how it looks:  Enjoy!

Quite a while ago, I made [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet217147.html"][B]this[/B][/URL] snippet. This code is basically the same, except that it adds animation. This method of blitting is very fast assuming you don't use a surface that's too large. On a 500 x 500 surface, I managed 350fps using only 0-1% of the cpu. …

I borrowed this from C#, where you can easily send output, that normally goes to the ugly black console window, to a nice looking Windows MessageBox with an OK button to close after you read your results. You can accumulate your output in a string to send to one message …

This came up, maybe it is usefull to somebody. Later I plan to do a managing context interface to `with`statement for this.

This simple class encapsulates the exAnimatewindow api call. I got tired of adding all the jazz to every form I need to use as a pop up, or any borderless forms I used. (Windows 7 and vista don't animate windows with no border by default) This class could easily be …
