Programing Experiment (FreeTuring)
-----------------------------------
Just somthing i was messing with last night. Not worth the look if you don't care about turing at all.

YouTube'efied version is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdOnABZmpoU -- low quality, can't really read any text.

Yey, a screen cast!

So... jTuring? How viable is it to get full compatibility going?

Looks like the name might potentially be [url=http://code.google.com/p/opent/]OpenT.  At least that's the name for now... since some person registered OpenTuring already.

So...  no open source?  Might be interesting to rewrite it in Scala.  ;)

Well I don;t know about FreeTuring. Which is pretty impressive, but OpenT is opensource. It is licensed under the MPL. Which is pretty flexible. 

PS: I need Dan's gmail :\

This is just a litte test i did as a prof of conspect. It is not a full complier by any means, it is closer to what turing aucataly dose to complie it's code.

If we ever make a fully working complier/interiptier/pesdocode generator it will deftaly be open sorce. The reason why i called it FreeTuring for this test rather then OpenTuring is that i found another project called OpenTuring when googled the word.

I whould realy like to see a project get going that dose a good open sorce implemenation of turing however i am rather busiey with dwite.

As for turings comment right now it only dose put and var statments tho it suports lots of the built in functions as you can see like chr() ord() the math ones (cos, sin, ect), and basicly any that are not clases or graphic/musick realted and real functions.

Heh, i just realised that my video there had sound in it. Apperntly the screen caputre program i used was smart enought to turn on my mic or try to record the musick i was planing at the time. However it seems to have come out rather distorted.

This is actually pretty cool. How long have you been working on this Dan?

[offtopic]What song was that playing in the video? I know I've heard it before...
EDIT: And what program did you use for the screen capture?[/offtopic]

Try "save link as" or "save target as" and just save it to you computer. I had the same problem too. It loaded and all it showed was some white box and a line.  :?

Its probally a codec issue, I didn't have the codec on either of my computers, I tried to download it on the one but it just caused windows media player to crash when it tried to load the file, so I just gave up.

That was just one night of playing around in java.


What song was that playing in the video? I know I've heard it before...


VA - Summer Dance Megamix Vol.1 (2007)


EDIT: And what program did you use for the screen capture?

xvidcap, it is in the protage tree for the gentoo users out there.


To thos not being able to get it to play, it enconded as MPEG4 (DIVX). You may need the codec to play it, you could also try divx player. The audo part is MPEG2. It was made an record on linux and i only tested it on linux. There are some flash versions i tryed to make, however there quality is lacking and it is hard to read the text.

Yeah, that's what I get aswell. I don't know why. I uploaded the image the same way I did for the images in my collision tutorial and those don't cause this.

edit: nvm, I seem to have fixed it :)

edit 2: So Dan, are you using any compiler generation tools or are you doing everything from scratch? If we were serious in this project, then I would suggest using the tools Flex and Bison. I'm reading up on these tools right now and they look really nifty.

SableCC is more "nifty" ;)

If we were to use anything other than java-platform languages it would be Parsec + GHC. But we got bytecode optimizers for free. So we'll be sticking to Java :)
