i tried it on a winXP virtual machine too, but there it threw an unhandled win32 exception.

That's weird, it works on desktop and laptop, both also w7 x64... Do you have XNA redist installed?

Looks cool. I'll have to try it maybe.

i don't have any xna redist, but i think it would be the program's job to make sure of its dependencies before running. (not your job, the framework's, although you might be able to configure how it builds)
xna is weird, my friend once made an attempt at some pac-man style game, and it didn't run on my old pc, complaining about my video card and its shader support.. all the game had was bitmap images floating around.

Hm, yeah, that sucks, and it is kind of a pain to have to install everything...

If you don't know
here's a page that could interest you guys. I've been trying solve some of the problems and it's quite fun and interesting, I recommend you try and see how far you can go
I've just started the University, taking a bachelor in Programming and Network, so I might be able to contribute more to this thread

I love Project Euler! I haven't been there for a while. I should solve some problems.

Seems interesting! I'm already afraid how it will kick my self-confidence in the butt.

I think you'll do just fine
It's not thaaat hard, I've managed to get to level 9 and I've solved Problem 10. I've heard that up to 30-40 you can brute force the answer.
Thank you!

I just looked, and I've solved 54. I started it as a way to learn Haskell, which was nice, but I soon lapsed back to Python, because I'm more comfortable with the syntax and I just wanted to solve the problem.
You can brute force a lot of them, but I like reading the PDF that sometimes comes with solving a problem, to learn ways to do it better. I also try to read what other people have done in the forum (Only the first few pages are persistent. Your post will likely disappear). Recent solvers' solutions are fun to read.

dug up my old account on project euler. I solved the first 16 plus a few others. apparently I solved #48? I think I brute forced that one.

Actually haven't noticed the PDF on the problems, got to check that out.

wait, so you're not supposed to brute force them?

I know nothing about programming and solved 2 of the problems using SHEER MATHS.

Nice
You can solve problem 8 without using any programs too.
atomtengeralattjaro wrote:wait, so you're not supposed to brute force them?
I think it's the only way on some of them, but I'm not sure. Of course if you find an easier way you use that :p

easier for me is not easier for the computer though.

I think I did #48 with a brute-force one-liner.

If the point is to become better at logic, programming, math, etc, then probably not. If you just want to solve the problems, and you're willing to wait on some of them, then go for it.

I think you can for a lot of the ones about combinations and permutations.

Today I share with thee a shining example of professional documenting!
Behold: The Oracle ™ Javadoc!
javadoc for Buffer.clear() wrote: This method does not actually erase the data in the buffer, but it is named as if it did because it will most often be used in situations in which that might as well be the case.
Does anybody understand what the frozen hell does this actually mean?

From what i read, it means that the method doesn't do anything, and is useless. Or I'm wrong...

That's what I read, too.
