I just want to vent.... in order to program in a certain game engine (so I can get a paid project), you can't have vis studio 2010 or net framework 4, so, like an idiot, I decide to uninstall net framework 4 first. It breaks my visual studio uninstall, so I reinstall net framework 4. didn't fix it, now I download a program which is supposed to uninstall anything, which accidentally deletes itself trying to uninstall visual studio. now I have to re-download 2.2 GB of data just to uninstall a program, then uninstall net 4, then have to download 2008 professional, then have to hope the game engine works... wow this sucks.
triclops200, I work at making AI engines.........I think I know how to deal with frustration. You look for other people with worse problems than you. For example other people getting bsods
If you want to send me over the files and tell me what you need done I will give it a go, no promises about my skill though lol, just ask and ill supply my email.
Also look into a tool called sharp develop, I dont know if it can do native C++ however it can do all of the .net languages.
lol, It is the best OS I've ever seen. btw my AI was for tic-tac-toe, It got better each game... after 50 rounds I couldn't beat it with any of my good strategies. also, because I programmed in two AI's... they could play each other and get much better faster... after 10 seconds of play they had done 250 round and were unbeatable(I never lost, but I couldn't beat them).
ouch... and I used a binary file and arrays and weighted averages (recored whole game and recorded who won and how each move contributed and how many times a game including that move won or lost for that player)
