MaxCoderz

And I lost some weight, what the hell? I'll trade you mine. So far, I gained 2 pounds since New Years '09. Actually, 1kg sounds nicer. Still exercising the usual 6 to 7 days a week. It's gotta be the late-night carbs. Those little hell raisers will get you every time. If you want 2 extra pounds, do...

Instantly featured! This is one of those things that i never thought would be possible, but you've certainly proven that it is! What about this: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/369/36950.html ? I just wish it was more developed. But it works extremely well! For the 83+ series, that is...

This just keeps getting better and better, DigiTan! Your work is superb. I can't wait to learn assembly!

MaxCoderz is a true inspiration.

Thanks, darkstone knight . It took me a minute to realize who's quote that was, lol.

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

That's pretty funny. Just like kalan_vod, I forgot it was my birthday. I guess I'm just getting a little too tied up :P . Of course, I did celebrate my birthday at the same time as my two siblings a few days ago. It's always nice to have family around. Thanks for the reminder! Oh man, that means I'm...

I wonder... How much better is the Nspire, really? It looks a lot better, but the features aren't all that much better. If TI wanted (which they won't because it will hurt their business) they could throw out a calculator with color, as fast as a computer, and with at least 16GB of ROM. They could m...

Awesome, I got a direct answer this time! Ben, that works perfectly. There is hardly any CPU being used up by the program now. Thanks!

Too bad I already turned in the assignment.

Ay, I don't really know what to do to my code to make that change! Could you specify what changes to lines in my code I should make?

Here are a few more. Where the triangle and "o" is the logo added to the name.

Are you implying that I modify my code. Please let me know if anything should be modified to optimize the program.

I understand this isn't a programming competition, but I think we should have a competition to create a logo for MaxCoderz. It would be awesome! Here are a few of my quick images.

The repaint function is needed if I want to keep painting, else the program will only draw the light once.

I'm not really sure about the action listeners. Remember that I am a beginner at this sort of thing. Those are simply my assumptions.

Thanks to Ben and my brother, I have been able to upload source in its glory.

I see. It takes up about 35% on my CPU. Pretty crazy. I wonder what would happen if there were loops and conditionals instead of the ActionListener "hack" as you call it.

It uses 25% CPU on my machine - that's 100% on 1 core. Seems a little much for just switching between 3 states :) I can't notice. It goes super fast on my computer, but when I was on the Linux computers at school, the program did run slow. I'm guessing it's because the various ActionListeners. They...
