----------------------------------- templest Thu Jul 29, 2004 5:18 pm "Do you want to leave a message?" ----------------------------------- I hate looking for pens/paper when someone calls and they wnat to leave a message to a sibling that isn't home. So I wrote this quick mofo' to jot down quick notes when someone calls, stores the name / message and the number in which to contact them. I know I don't need the arrays, and I could probably store the numbers and names on the same string, but I did it seperatly and in arrays because I want to give people a small challenge. This is the basic code for processing the info', I want someone to write the esthetics, ie: GUI. ;) Whoever write's the most badass interface get's 25 bits. proc add (name, number : string) var dummy_buffer : string var file : int open : file, "book.ini", get, put, mod loop exit when eof (file) get : file, dummy_buffer : * end loop put : file, name put : file, number close (file) end add proc gets var file : int var numb : int := 0 var count_buffer : string open : file, "book.ini", get loop exit when eof (file) get : file, count_buffer : * get : file, count_buffer : * numb := numb + 1 end loop close (file) var users : array 1 .. numb of string var numbr : array 1 .. numb of string open : file, "book.ini", get for i : 1 .. numb get : file, users (i) : * get : file, numbr (i) : * put users (i) /* comment out this line if you're making a GUI */ put "" : 10, numbr (i) : 6 /* as well as this one*/ end for close (file) end gets var input, name, number : string loop put ">> " .. get input : * if length (input) = 4 and input = ".add" then put "name: " .. get name : * put "number: " .. get number : * add (name, number) elsif length (input) = 5 and input = ".dump" then gets elsif input = "quit" then quit end if end loop ----------------------------------- templest Thu Jul 29, 2004 6:53 pm ----------------------------------- someone move this thread to the "contests" section. ;) ----------------------------------- Kingnoz Fri Jul 30, 2004 2:52 pm ----------------------------------- Here you go templest. This is the cheap message program for you...can only hold 40 messages...if anyone wants to extend on it go ahead. ----------------------------------- templest Thu Aug 05, 2004 7:25 pm ----------------------------------- I don't get it... all it does it display what's inside the text file? What happened to adding to the text file from within the program? :P ----------------------------------- Kingnoz Thu Aug 05, 2004 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- You really didn't try it fully did u... If you would click file, new message then there would be a popup window. Inside this magical window you can put a name/message/whatever and number then click add message and POOF it is added to the text file. Now click cancel and it closes the popup. Then go to file and click open message and then it has a listing of the all the messages. Click a message button and u can see ur message. You really need to try the program before posting a stupid comment... I don't get it... all it does it display what's inside the text file? What happened to adding to the text file from within the program? ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Aug 06, 2004 11:03 pm ----------------------------------- You really need to try the program before posting a stupid comment...

When's the deadline for your contest? Are we allowed to add features? (i.e. delete an old message) ----------------------------------- templest Sun Aug 22, 2004 10:06 pm ----------------------------------- Go right ahead... since yours seems to be the only submission thus far, I'm trying to give people a chance. :) Tell you what, the winning submission gets bonus bits for every aded feature. Basically, write a kick-ass "Message Taker" branching off from the code that I provided. (10 bits for every feature, significant features ie: deleting messages ;) ) EDIT: Very nice by the way. :D ----------------------------------- zomg Thu Oct 14, 2004 10:50 am ----------------------------------- lol i love it... ive used it like 3 times lol keep up the good work ----------------------------------- timmytheturtle Fri Oct 15, 2004 3:19 pm ----------------------------------- seems like a good idea for a program, but I find it easier to use notepad ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sun Oct 17, 2004 12:19 am ----------------------------------- stupid *$*@# crashed my comp... really wished some1 wud tell me where 4.05 is Check the thread in "Programming News" called "Turing 4.0.5." On page 6 there's a link where someone posted it. Enjoy :) ----------------------------------- templest Sun Oct 17, 2004 9:46 am ----------------------------------- The advantage of this app is that it's more organized than notepad. I would know, after a while I had a 600+ line notepad page all with numbers and messages. I just found it easier to write an app to organize/display the data. Anyways, yeah.. this is an ooooooooold as thread. I guess we know who our winner is.
