RomanceAfrican Women Can't Flirt? by sinequanon(op): 3:38pm On Feb 04, 2016
I grew up in London in the UK.

My experience has been that, when it comes to flirting, African women are generally less adept compared with European or Asian women (even less so than Indian women).

I had a theory that it was because African men are way too pushy, and the women have too much choice and have become lazy. But, in some Asian cultures, the women seem to hold all the cards, with men falling over themselves for them, yet they are the flirtiest women I have come across.

African women are so-ooo confident, it is as if they are ready to take out their checklist right in front of you to see if you measure up.

And if you are a stranger and you pass her in the street, it is as if she thinks eye contact is dangerous and the man will start molesting her.

So why is it?

Nothing.

You got what you wanted. You met her "officially", whatever her name is, and she politely told you to get lost. grin

And you got a bonus of a warm glow of excitement and gratitude in your stomach.

She would have been traveling at over 150 mph.

Insecurity is at the root of feeling good about snubbing somebody.

You must be insecure.

Anyway, I always approach women with the intention of getting to know them, first. It never goes wrong.

Women who do what you say you did, gradually lose the ability to communicate normally, and can only hook up with players.

I started dating a guy that has been my friend for years and I was really happy I had him, though he wasn't rich nor didn't have any job but I believed he still has a future. Things went well for years and I help him also from the little I make, sometimes I even ignore my family needs just to make him happy and he promised that as soon as things gets better he will go and see my parents.I rejected many rich men who were married men anyway,even very promising suitors because of him,i never cheated on him,there were nothing i needed from a man that i didn't have.I wasn't rich but i had what i wanted in life and paid my bills.
Are you saying that you only gave him money because he had promised to propose to you?

Or what are you now complaining about?

RomanceRe: 8 Things Guys Will Do When They Are Seriously In Love by sinequanon: 7:44pm On Feb 03, 2016
ped007:
In a little study about guys, I discovered that guys actually could get seriously in love with a girl and when they do,these are the signs
1.He will always want to be with you
It is possible for a guy to be always busy but the truth is,if a guy truly loves a girl,he will try to create time out of his busy schedule just to be with her.
2.He feels so confident about you
That moment when you step into a place and he walks up to you and tell you how georgous you look even though you are not putting on the best of clothes.If he sees beauty in you when others think of you as ugly,That’s a sign.
3.When he is willing to wait
He may be one guy who loves s*x and loves making out with whoever he dates but when he decides to wait till he is committed “married” before he dig it down with you then it means he thinks of you as special.He loves you..
4.When he introduces you to his friends and family
When a guy loves you,he wont hesitate to do the needful because He feels lucky having you and he is scared of loosing you to another guy.
5.He always want to be seen in public with you by his side
When he takes you out to every occasion he attends,it doesn’t mean he is selfish/overprotective of you.it means he feels confident about you and he loves you.He doesn’t see the relationship as just a joke and he is ready to invest his time and his resource to build up lovely memories.
6.When he sees you and smile even though he is upset
When your guy seem to be upset with everything and everybody around him but immediately you show up he smiles like kilode……..That is a sign that you mean a lot to him
7.When he respect your privacy and is concerned about your success
when he respect the fact that you need to work or study and in most cases he’s willing to burn the night with you just to make sure you achieve your goal successfully. Then he loves you
8.When he tell you crazy things and does crazy things
When he tells you how many times he purged that morning after eating something funny,how had to sneak into the kitchen to taste what you were cooking when you were not looking,when he still kisses from you wen you are not looking….That means he sees you as a friend,confidant and as his love.

ProgrammingRe: Html/css/javascript Tic-tac-toe Project by sinequanon(op): 12:15pm On Jan 27, 2016
Here are the special terms -- the vocabulary -- I have extracted from the specification.

These terms will have to be represented by appropriate variables that will hold the data that they represent.

Having listed the terms as the first part of my analysis. I have a question: what happens if the computer doesn't win?

Our client tells us, "well, because it never loses, the game ends in a draw". I need to add the word "draw" to my vocabulary.

"Then what happens?", I ask. The client replies: "the game ends, and the user is notified that it has ended in a draw."

I add "notified" to my vocabulary.

Already, I have a vague idea that the program will contain a variable, gameStatus, which may take the value DRAW, and a variable userMessage, which may contain the string, "Congratulations! You have drawn with the computer that never loses at tic-tac-toe". What other messages may it contain?

It is a good job I analyzed the data upfront. Let us keep refining it, until we are happy with it.


[size=18pt]Here is the list, so far:

plays
user
tic-tac-toe
rules
game
new game
start
move
first move
square
3 x 3 grid
0's, x's, set of x's
lose
highlight

position
force a win
indicate
select
the middle
corner or edge
non-losing game
game ends
draw

thanks for pointing out my mistake bro
This is not what fixed your code. You may have done something else without realizing it.

All you need to show us your example is to copy and paste the code in your small html file into your post and put it inside code tags (by clicking the # button next to the quote button). Do the same with a small external file. Leave out everything that is not relevant to the problem.

What is important here is the order in which you have written your code, so giving us a couple of lines separately doesn't help us to help you.

Welcome!

[size=18pt]Discovery[/size]

Discovery is basically the task of converting a requirement into a data model and data processes.

The requirement is the system we have been asked to build. In our case it is simple. Our requirement is described in a specification, outlined earlier.

A data model is the starting point in programming. It describes what data we need, and how we will organize or structure it. It is always a good idea to start with comprehensive data analysis, rather than plunging straight in to a programming project.

In real life, a software company would interview a client about the requirement for the system it has been contracted to build. The interviewing would start at a very high level, with a boss or board member sponsor, who will specify the scope and terms of the requirement and engagement. There would often be a ToR (Terms of Reference) document, forming part of the contract.

Once the scope of the project has been established, the interviewing process would be extended and organized to include middle management, and finally, shop floor employees, to get an increasingly detailed picture of the business and its system requirement. The interviewers from the software company are usually business analysts, and they get paid handsome salaries, rivaling some of the top programmers. They must aim to dot every i and cross every t, because the software isn't going to guess.

During the interviews, the business analysts listen very closely to the words and business terminology (beeg specialist grammar cool ) used by the business. It is this terminology (vocabulary) that indicates what information needs to be processed, and forms the basis of a data model and the data processes. The business analysts will ask questions, and get the client to explain in increasing detail how the requirement is to be fulfilled. Understanding the client's jargon, and knowing the right questions to ask, is a valuable skill, especially as top brass and others in the business have to give up their limited time to be interviewed. That is why good business analysts are highly paid. If they do a bad job, it can lead to wasted man hours, poor design or major gaps in the delivered product, which can be extremely costly, or even catastrophic, leading to abandonment of the project.

Business analysts liaise with a data manager, who organizes the data. The data organization helps identify gaps and further questions for interview. It is an iterative process.

Anyway, we are going to pretend that our tic-tac-toe project is a beeeg application, and our specification (outlined earlier) is what our client has ordered.

[size=18pt]We are now ready for discovery: going through our requirement (the specification), and isolating words and terms that appear in it, and indicate what information (data) we will be working with.[/size]

That's good.

The more effort you put in, the easier it is to remember in the long term.

Answers on a plate are a false economy in effort.

One ironic thing, though...

Your OP says, "help an upcoming programmer".

What goes around comes around.

Why not spend a little time helping upcoming programmers like yourself, by explaining what you did?

I want to come back to styling at the end. Meanwhile, could you expand on how you would use divs? Would you use absolute positioning?
ProgrammingRe: Html/css/javascript Tic-tac-toe Project by sinequanon(op): 1:18pm On Jan 26, 2016
DanielTheGeek:
I think first we need to update the style

Now we can have a separate style sheet, for readability sake..
Create the ttt.css file.
I prefer to defer this until the very end, after the whole thing is working.

I agree that a separate style sheet is more readable for an experienced programmer. But remember this has to be accessible to complete novices, so we have to consider the pace and order in which we do things. Everything initially in one file does have its advantages for that.

Also, the main challenge, here is functionality, I think that we should do minimal styling at the moment, and revisit it at the end, so that it doesn't distract from the functionality (minimize any questions on styling). It will also simplify the set up for any complete novice -- just copy and paste one file, and you are ready to go.

(If we were to replace the table with canvas or svg, we would have to do it now, but I think that is too advanced for this thread.)
ProgrammingRe: Html/css/javascript Tic-tac-toe Project by sinequanon(op): 12:44am On Jan 26, 2016
The next task will be to review the rules and make any necessary amendments.

Then we will use the rules to determine all the data we are going to need.

For example, we will need to know the game status (x to move, 0 to move, or finished).
ProgrammingRe: Html/css/javascript Tic-tac-toe Project by sinequanon(op): 12:39am On Jan 26, 2016
Yeeeup... here we go...

[size=18pt]Specification

1. The application is a program that plays the user at tic-tac-toe according to the standard rules, as specified here.

The following are additional specifications and requirements

2. A new game is ready to start when the web page loads, or any time the user clicks the "CLEAR" button.

3. The user can make the first move of the new game by clicking any square on the 3 x 3 grid.

4. The computer will make the first move if the user clicks the "MOVE" button.

5. The computer will move automatically after each move by the user.

6. The user will be 0's and the computer will be x's.

7. The computer must never lose.

8. All 0's and x's will be black, except if the computer wins, in which case it will highlight the winning set of x's in red.

9. If the computer is presented with a position from which it can force a win, it must indicate that it is about to win, and force a win.

10. If the computer is not in a position to force a win, it must be able to select ANY position that does not lose.

(9, 10 imply, for example, that the computer must not ALWAYS go in the middle if it moves first. It must SOMETIMES go in a corner or edge. It must be able to play ANY non-losing game, unless it can FORCE a win.)

11. If the game ends according to the rules, the only option available to the user will be to click "CLEAR" for a new game.[/size]

It's OK. It's fixed itself now, using its Artificial Intelligence.

People must have been cheating against it, because it has learned how to cheat.

It keeps pretending not to notice when you win, and it makes extra moves when it thinks you're not looking.

As for the game against DanielTheGeek, maybe it had an off day, or had just had a spliff.
