SPOILER WARNING: DISCUSSION ON THE SOLUTION BELOW This problem initially seemed vexing. After a little bit of thought about using bit twiddling to represent directions, generating the right codes was easy. If you have any experience with hexadecimal numbers, it should strike you that the direction table with 4 directions each of which can be yes or no, is a big hint that bit twiddles are exactly what is needed. https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/meet-pypes/ Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:20:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/meet-pypes/ Pypes is almost done, except for the loops, which shouldn't be there. Have a screenie. https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/opensocial-lastfm-recent-tracks/ Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:39:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2008/opensocial-lastfm-recent-tracks/ After two days of OpenSocial hacking, here is my app, which fetches the users Recent tracks and displays it on the profile. Now since there is no way to directly fetch the last.fm username, I had to resort to asking the user. Also 1.0 although usable has a few errors which aren't handled smoothly. But they do not pose security risks. For now its in the sandbox, if you have access you can view it here Last. https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/colourcode-10-almost-done/ Tue, 07 Aug 2007 20:06:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/colourcode-10-almost-done/ ColourCode is done. It now has support for PHP and HTML which it didn't have before. Perl support will probably get in before the stable release. This version has been bumped to 1.0. I think I've made a really good project and that it deserves the 1.0 tag. PDF support will not enter the 1.0 release but is on track for 1.1. All that is left now is testing some highly tweaked files. https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/introducing-pixelframe/ Sun, 18 Mar 2007 12:01:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/introducing-pixelframe/ In Trac(k)ing I mentioned the "secret project" I was working on. Well I have decided its time to let the world know what it is, even though its not finished yet. Its called Pixelframe. Pixelframe is meant to be a lightweight image gallery. It uses PHP for the backend and my custom javascript toolkit ( called Juice ) for frontend effects and ajax requests. Juice will also be released seperately once it is done. https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/colourcode-02-released/ Sat, 03 Feb 2007 11:38:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/colourcode-02-released/ ColourCode 0.2 has been released. In addition to the features mentioned in the previous post it now supports C# and Shellscript and Javascript. Check it out at the ColourCode homepage https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/game-of-lifelogin/ Thu, 25 Jan 2007 20:03:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/game-of-lifelogin/ I am proud to present my latest creation LOGIN or NIkhil's Game Of Life, my very own Conway's Game of Life simulator. Written in C++ using SDL. I wrote it mainly to learn SDL and because I truely enjoy life. Currently it only runs on Linux. Read the README file in the package for instructions on installation and usage. Here is a nice pic of part of a r-pentomino cycle for your enjoyment: https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/colourcode-01beta-released/ Wed, 03 Jan 2007 19:39:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2007/colourcode-01beta-released/ I am pleased to announce the release of version 0.1beta of ColourCode. ColourCode is a Ruby program to generate syntax highlighted HTML files. Currently it supports HTML, Java, C++, Ruby and Python. For more information and (not)features see the ColourCode homepage https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2006/glowpad/ Fri, 24 Nov 2006 21:41:00 +0000 https://master--suspicious-stonebraker-7d2d21.netlify.app/post/2006/glowpad/ Glowpad is a small Python/Pygame program to read in a file and generate a word/pattern with randomly coloured squares which morph to white. I basically wrote it after seeing the cool effect that appears at the end of one of the Sony ads(the robot one) where the same effect happens with the word feel. So I hacked this program in just half an hour. To run the program, extract it to any place on your computer.
