I think we should start by naming renowned programmers in Nigeria if there are any

Djtm: ^ Yeah yeah, they are well funded plus they've been making stuffs work and not learning how it works (like we do here) from a tender age.

i disagree sir, they are a lot of smart people here, with very little funding i can build a team from Nairaland programming section that would do wonders...

really Sir? when they have no idea of what they are applying for? Atleast you should state the scope of their job...

so? whats in for your interns?

Seun: Added: Are you smart enough to comprehend & implement intricate Computer Science algorithms when needed?

Sir, IMO this was supposed to be your No. 1 requirement. Every other thing you initially mentioned can be learnt in a month or even less...

ActiveMan: @Javanian you are saying slyrox to move it to the frontpage so that etopup can be finished, have we done you any wrong before? why is nairaland moderators don't know their job self?

Sir, i never said so, all i was saying is be carefull with what you say and how you address people. You are protraying a bad image of your company here, and beleive me sir, anyone that reads this thread would have a second thought before doing business with you..

@ActiveMan, sorry sir but do you know if slyrOx wants to get at you, all he needs is to get this thread to front page and etopup is finished, Royally and Totally

mkwayisi: But from reading the docs, it seems the game engine is not fair to "smart" robots since the winner of a battle is determined by one's score. I believe the last survivor *should* be the winner instead.

You have a score for survival, i guess it is made that way so that some robots wont go and hide until the end of the game...

@prince did you use any of this in your code implemenation?

Pattern Matching
Clustering
Statistical partitioning

HBD to my 3 bosses on this board, less bugs to your code, Your life span would be like a LinkedList, Many more years to you..

@prince?

i love the idea.

But the most important thing here is who would sponsor the competition Any other thing is secondary ...

kind of, just started this yesterday, so i can't say i have done so much work on it, but i can still give it a try..

@op does game programming fall under this category?

@Prince are you still intrested in this stuff? it is damn addictive and interesting

Boss, Can i apply?

how does it update positions on your remote server, are you sending HTTP request periodically?, using sockets?, comet? how is your backend?

what technology was used to build it?

Ubuntu!

l.m.a.o

Java sucks!, Java is a useless language!, i would rather learn Swahili than learn Java #hahaha

@whiztim C++ rules, C++ is the greatest language in the planet, C++ is used for building artillery softwares I don gree!...

Whether you would ever learn Java or not is no ones business shaa, like someone said it doesn't remove the v from Java. I myself i don't see myself using a language like C# or PHP. Not because i have anything against them but i don't see any need to. I am a Game Programmer, Currently using Java/Flex/Flash for mobile and browser games. In a few weeks time i would start doing H.D. /3D games, and i intend doing it fully with C++. Like i said earlier i spent sometime the last few weeks learning C++ and since then every time i visit TopCoder i attempt the problems in C++, just to master the syntax.

Sorry for the insults man, you are a smart programmer, One of the smartest on this board and i admire your post alot . But please drop whatever beef you have with Java because it won't change the fact that Java is a great language and would always rival C++ What you are doing is like hating on a player like Lionel Messi, He would keep scoring goals and giving you heart attack, Like i earlier said, Java isn't the most popular language in the world for nothing, you are not smarter than all those programmers using it...

_Anyway, my job here is done....

_One_Love_Bro...

_Signing Out







#continues debugging code

elvis10ten: java rocks for me . And to that guy that said he would rather learn arabic than java, why are you telling us ?. If you don't use java it doesn't change the name to jaga, i think you should take what javanian told you.

Thanks joor, don't mind that empty head.

spikes C:

The guy is actually very funny , go through the thread, he was the first and only person that bashed a language on this thread, then when he saw how ignorant he has been all his life, he decided to end with 'use what get the jobs done'. I guess this is a typical case of taming the shrew...

lmao

.

lordZOUGA: Lol. but you see, when you have a thread titled "C++ vs Java", it implicitly says that one language is better than the other. this is war like someone previously said, any form of weakness is an ammunition to the opponent. there is absolutely no reason to take this personal. IMO, you are taking it personal.

Okay! Maybe i am taking it a bit personal , but this isn't the first time that dude called whiztim has come here to make such highly idiotic claims, so someone has to shut him up!

Come to think of it, in our argument here we have talked about only one branch of programming, System programming, which is the only strong point C++ has, and yet Java still rivals it, it is still very very debatable. What about on the web? what about on mobile? Scala (a JVM language among many others) has been tipped by many to be the present and the future of web development. Let me not even talk about mobile platforms. So WTF! are we even saying here? It is only a blind C++ fan boy that wont admit the fact that Java is way ahead of C++ in this field. Like i said earlier, Java isn't the most popular language in the world for nothing.

lordZOUGA: so, have you used templates and done some metaprogramming? like using function objects or creating containers that use iterators? have you used boost C++ and used their networking library or have you used the Boost.bind library for event driven programming?
these features are probably the reason why developers still stick to C++, they have lots of nice stuffs that makes advanced programming very nice.
that's what I think.

I have used function objects, i have used C++ boost libraries, i have taken even taken a look at C++ 11. I am not disputing the fact that C++ is a nice language. It is a very powerful language. But that doesn't mean some C++ fan boy would drop from space and make some very very stuppid claims.

spikes C: Stop giving me reasons why java is fast because a popular website uses java. Even facebook use PHP (Though a modified version). What you should ask yourself is, all those websites using java, what are they using it for?

Powers the android platform? The main reason why java probably powers the android version is just to accommodate more mobile apps and developers. Besides, Android is porting very very soon to C++...i hope you're following the news

With due respect sir , i mean with a lot of respect sir, but most of your arguments on this thread are so blind that even a blind man would see that they are blind. I mean no insults. I mean it in a very very nice way

lordZOUGA: please, before this argument can go any further. how many of the java defenders here have actually used C++ in projects? If you are all making your arguments On hearsay, then this is a waste of time

I have, at least for a little project that made me learn little of the language, i intend making it my main language soon...
