Here is my first Robocode robot - Age.

No need to have an introduction, just have a try if you want. BTW, it uses anti-gravity motion.

Finally, I upgraded my Wordpress to 2.3. There is an error with Google XML Sitemaps 3.0b4 or below.

WordPress database error: [Table 'yourdatabasetable.wp_categories' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM wp_categories WHERE link_count >= 1

For details, see here.

At this stage, I wish myself upgraded as well.

Those ppl met errors in 1.0 or upgrade from 1.0, to save your time, please download config.php directly, and replace the previous one.

Right, as a plugin for WP Super Edit, Monsters Editor (MsE) brings the magic of Fckeditor back to TinyMCE. So if you prefer TinyMCE as its concision, but used to Fckeditor’s powerful functions, then MsE is your good choice. Let’s take a look at what it can do.

To open MsE, just click the “MsE” button in TinyMCE.

Because I haven’t gotten a TV set in my house, I was trying to watch BBC World via Internet. Without luck, the official site of BBC World didn’t put the video stream as a free service, and I also tried lots of online TV sites, all of them has a invalid stream feed for BBC World. However, I finally found a p2p TV software written by Zhejiang University (China).

It’s called TvAnts, which is based on BT transfer technology and provide us an awesome quality of live BBC World, and I think it is the best online TV program I met up to now. For more information, please visit http://tvants.com/

Now, I am just enjoying BBC World. Hoho

Here is the Java program written by me to simulate the Brownian motion. In this prac, I tried to use double buffering to improve the performances, but actually it is triple buffering. That’s because the JPane has already implemented the double buffering, so plus mine own copy of buffer to store the background coordinate system and the path of particles, it is triple! Ho ho

Many Java programmers are befuddled by the three methods repaint(), paint(Graphics), and update(Graphics). This is because they are designed to work in a wide variety of circumstances, and they interact in a non-obvious fashion. This happens in several contexts in Java, but GUIs are the most obvious. The designers of Java wanted Java programs to be able to run on any machine that had a Java VM. So, a particular program might be running on a desktop machine, or a laptop, or a hand-held machine, like a personal assistant or a phone. This presents quite a challenge for the designer of an abstract windows toolkit (AWT). It also makes the job of a novice programmer more difficult than it might otherwise be. So it goes.

i) public void update(Graphics)
By default update(Graphics) fills the drawable area of a Component with its background color, and then sends paint(Graphics) to the object. Thus, flicker that comes from redrawing the background over and over, can sometimes be fixed by overriding update() (see Code Example 9 on page 238, Simple Java).

ii) public void paint(Graphics)
Every Java Component implements paint(Graphics), which is responsible for painting that component in the Graphics context passed in the parameter. When you extend a Component (like when you write a Applet), if you want to display it differently than its superclass, you override public void paint(Graphics) . This was first illustrated in Chapter 3, Simple Java. Read the rest of this entry »
