College programs

[MaGneTTo]

Hi guys, i was just wondering my college times and remembered that i still keep every program that i've made back in college time. What was the best program that you did when you were in college or any other place, i mean, those weekends programs, remember that first program you did in C/C++, that one that was recursive... you understood... Mine one was a FAT 12 decoder, i was able to erase, read, modify the attributes and everthing of any file, and DOS would still read it... and about you guys ??

For compiler design I wrote a compiler for a super small subset of the C language that outputted actual 386 assembler. It was the first class where as the teacher was getting ready to pull all the parts together in his lecture I "saw" the solution before he finished explaining it entirely in an object oriented manner.

It was a real epiphany. I actually felt the "enlightenment" occur. Suddenly all the objects and the way they interacted became clear and I knew at once how I would write the code for the final project.

Then there was Prof. Root and his Algorithm class. He had one of those wooden puzzles that looks like a bunch of rectangular blocks of different sizes in a picture frame. The solution was to get the big block to the opposite side of the frame merly by sliding the bolcks around. That was tough.

If I get it working, it'll be the text-mode ncurses Minesweeper I'm doing right now. Though that's not for any classes, I'm just doing it because I'm bored, and I came up with the idea when the Duck was bored.

:cool: Minesweeper :cool:
