new Code center sub

[peterb]

i would sugest a new top level sub in the code center.
An area where we could post routines of code, and improve each others routines maybe.
Could be in any language VB6 VB.net python c++ c C# etc

I think throughout the history of darwinbots various people have tried to improve code.
And some had suggestions, while other would like to begin.

But as a whole its like a monster project...

 >> reading DNA,
 >>improving graphics with openGL or DirectX,
 >>colission detection,
 >>physics of bouncing,
 >>FTP    
 >>saving game
 >>or general ideas.. how should swimming work etc.. with code samples


PS
i begin to like Python (i'm using v2.6 with a free editor, python scripter)
I also got visual studio 2008 but its not free, so not everyone can code in that.
Python is free, and simple to read has a lot of free and really advanced libraries acka modules (which you can google to include)
Modules for :  music, graphics, openGL, directX, math, neuron math, games (sprites), video,ftp.. wel lots lots and lots.. and free!
there even is a module which allows inline c++ , so the main prog can be simple to read while complex parts can be improved wit c++
And if you think that's not fast enough, there is even inline assembler support nothing beats that..
(well, a compiler usually is better then you to convert any language to the final assembler)

If I understand you right, I think you want what essentially a code repository is for.  Once I figure out SVN on the server (ugh) I can set up a code repository for whatever DB related project you want to play around with.

I also got visual studio 2008 but its not free, so not everyone can code in that.

There are express versions which are free.  I code on my laptop with the express versions.  Just for the record.

oh yeah i know free version as well, but it lack some things basic tcp/ip stuff etc (thats more my type of work, a specialist on communication)
For my job i require a small part of it just to be able to create custom tools for my self

Well i know SVG its a code repository, but thats almost purely code and version numbers based.
I mean more something like a forum in which people can explain the ideas, the whole program can (as a problem) be split up in smaller parts.
People can explain their parts in text form, and people could combine parts or rewrite them into another language. bet get the main ideas behind it.
