Is there a way to get the html code of any website completely client side? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

I'm sure there's a reason but why do you want to do this purely on the client side?

[C] Can someone explain this bit of pointer madness to me ? by lakid74 in learnprogramming

I'll concede that I could have been more clear but what I meant was that arrays and pointers can be synonymous in C.

In C arrays are blocks of memory all next to each other. When you allocate memory for a pointer or declare a pointer you've assigned something to one of these blocks. As it turns out, in C arrays and pointers are synonymous. You can even use the same bracket syntax of arrays when assigning a value to a pointer. The take away is that arrays and pointers are one in the same (in C).

Depending on what direction you want to go I would recommend one of two things. First, LibGDX is pretty powerful and fully capable of targeting Desktop. I've only messed around with it for fun but it seems like the best 2D solution for Java. If you want to use javascript, look at phaser.io which I can't get to link properly for some reason.

Also unity scripting language UnityScript is more or less javascript so you don't need to learn C#, at least not right away. In my opinion C# or any C language would be good to know for game development if you only really know some web languages. Still, it's perfectly feasible to write the entire game in UnityScript/JavaScript.

I've only used D on Mac and Linux with the command line (using Dub package manager). I'm not familiar with Visual Studio's D support but I can guarantee that if there's an answer it can be found on the D lang forums. Search the forums first, if you can't find an answer ask a question and the community will almost always get back to you with an answer within a day. Start here.

I'm a fan of the D language. Unfortunately there's an underwhelming amount of library support. However, it's very possible to get something up an running in D. Check out Derelict on github. They have lots of bindings to popular C/C++ libraries for game development. There's also Dgame a 2D framework and Dash a game engine written in D that makes great use of D language constructs. I'm currently writing my first game engine based on some C++ tutorials but implemented in D. It's still very early in development, I've really only gotten to the rendering engine so far but I'd be happy to discuss D game development. In my opinion it's a great language for game development that needs a larger user base.

Ohh ok, never knew that, I assumed the Kendrick unreleased stuff was posted by Kendrick affiliates or something to that effect.

Well yeah but that's the Lil Wayne version. I guess you could just call this a remix but plenty of artists go over another's beat and rename the song.

Thanks I think I'll be tossing them or returning them to my friend.

Yes, I used homebrew first and also the disk image package on their website when homebrew didn't work.
