...isn't as laborious as this: I have to write a program that calculates every legal chess move for all pieces- however, the language isn't particularly bright, so I have to manually type out all the possible co-ordinates manually... No thought involved, but I have to do it or I'll fail this module :( |

Can't you employ some valleys white trash nipper and pay 'em 50p an hour to do it for you? |

someone once told me that after nine moves on a chess board there are move possible positions than electrons in the universe |

Exactly, that's why it's taking so long to do... Jonesy: I would, but the proles around here haven't been influenced enough by our russian comrades to play chess yet, so they'd probably mess it up :) |

Quite. Catch you tomorrow. |

Isn't the whole point of doing that to use mathmatical equations so you don't have to type all the coordinates? Just a thought, I can't program at all... |

Math is hard. I'm writing a term paper on Otto Von Bismarck and it's very upsetting. |

I know, in "normal" languages you could use a "FOR LOOP" to work out the various permeatations- however the language I have to do it in (PROLOG) doesn't support this! And this is the language used for most AI programming in games... |

I pity you. Software Development is the reason I didn't complete my degree. I'm not mathematically minded |

LOL @ Loogie. Narkotic: I don't see how programming makes you a Nerd. That's a bit of a stereotype. Are you calling the admin here nerds? ;) |

Man, now I have to do a family tree program that given a list of people and their family calculates which people may marry... ...this is much harder. I'm tempte just to say they're all red necks/aristocracy/people from the valleys and hence marry anyone regardless of blood ties. |

I'd kill myself if I had to write code for a living :) I'd rather just design on computers. |

Me too, I'm not a bad programmer by any means, and I can see the mathematical beauty of programming- it's just that I don't enjoy it the way some people seem to. Also I forsee the next generation of programming languages (that'll probably come out after the next big breakthrough in chips- and hence processing power) negating "conventional" coding. So I can't be bothered to spend hours learning to code at the moment. I just do the minimum to get by in programming for my degree- I far prefer creating something on a computer using existing programs like level designers, music software or 3d packages etc. |

Writing code is fun (er for most languages, not COBOL for instance), but it takes a certain type, I can easily see how it could drive some people insane. |
