Title: Language syntax f*ck*d up
Post by: jdoe on January 10, 2009, 05:49:44 AM

Is it often you write a program and you realize it does not compile because you used a keyword from another language.

Recently, the one I made is doing a .WHILE loop in MASM and ending the loop with .WEND. Isn't it wonderfull   :bdg

:U

Hehe, after taking a course in Java, I found myself using "//" instead of ";" for comments in assembler, and trying to terminate lines with ";". :green

Just for fun, if anyone wants to check out one of my Java projects, see my Final Fantasy 7 MIDI jukebox (http://heliosstudios.net/temp/java/FF7Jukebox.zip) - it includes about a hundred MIDI files modeled after the game. Extract the .ZIP into a folder and run the .JAR file. (If you can't execute .JAR files, go to www.java.com and download the latest Java Runtime Environment.)

Ironically, MIDI is a pain in the rear in Java -- I never did get the volume slider working properly. In any case, could someone try this on Unix or a Mac? I'm curious if there are any issues on other OS's. Java claims superior cross-platform performance, however this MIDI code is so tricky, I wouldn't be surprised if it fails to play at all on other OS's.

FF7 was one of the greatest games of all time, accompanied by one of the most illustrious soundtracks, composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuo_Uematsu).

Heh, cute and neat little app.  (in gui size I mean!)
Volume slider doesn't work as you said.

Works fine here, but I'm on XP, and practically everything works here anyway.
