From: Harry Potter on 18 May 2010 14:13 I've been working on an idea called TempC. TempC is supposed to accept input from the user as to the type of pogam he/she is trying to create and then start the code for you. It is not AI. It can only provide code supplied by other users. Two people tried it, and they both said it was a bad idea. I have ready a simplified DOS version done in probably a week's time to demonstrate its planned abilities. However, it has limited functionality. I desire a second opinion. If anybody out there wants to try it and comment, I'd appreciate it. ------------------ Joseph Rose, a.k.a.

Only what he's *always* asking, which is for someone to come along and gush to him about how awesome it would be if he made one of these utilities he's perpetually talking about possibly making, despite the fact that they would only barely have passed muster as shareware items on early '90s BBSes.

Harry Potter >Working magic in the computer community...or at least striving to! :( I'll be a nice guy and pretend this malware is not your project: http://www.prevx.com/filenames/246103041313208566-X1/TEMPC.EXE.html and that you are asking a legitimate question here. It is difficult to provide real constructive opinions without fully grasping the practical application of such an endeavor, especially given the ambiguity of your description. Computer programs provide a wide variety of services ranging from problem solving to entertainment. To the general population it is more than enough to be able to find a program in its distribution format from a trusted source. What you seem to be suggesting, however, is a program that produces program code or source code. To me, such a thing only has practical value to a select few groups, of which are primarly programmers. So this begs to question, why does a programmer need a program that starts code? Feel free to elaborate more clearly as to what exactly your project's goals are rather than asking people to run your code without some detailed explanation. Charles Wilkins

A good question, especially in this day and age where most text editors and IDEs used by developers already sport support for code snippets without a need for an external utility. -- Lars Haugseth |
