Coolest Programming Experience Yet

Midnight · Post by **Midnight** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 7:57 am

If it wasn't cool enough that Guice is an Editor built with an Engine that creates GUI using the GUI that it creates.

Then the fact that I've just made Guice minipulate the GUI that creates GUI with the Engine that kicks ass must certainly top it off.

This is the deepest thing I've ever seen in reality and it's virtual.

Which is why computers kick ass.

If that didn't make sense then let me sum it up.

Guice is now built using itself in Real Time.

This means that I'm able to move the Active GUI around the screen to actually make the program.

I'm curious if anybody else has created such a paridox with programming?

Well my collest exp was when i created a program for bus station. It was designed to announce travels, keep data of tickets and such. And i needed to travel somewhere, i just printed ticket at my comp. And took a free ride.

I'd have to say writing the ultimate "Boss" Key.

I wrote a program in python (of course!) that would silently monitor a webcam hooked up to a spare computer we have in my office. The webcam is pointed at the doorway to my office. The moment anyone walks through the doorway, the python script instantly realizes a large change in the picture and pops up an alert on my computer using a client I wrote and python's networking abilities.

Not unethical, at my office we are pretty lax. We're allowed to experiment with stuff like that.

I designed and led the team that implemented a prototype for air/ground communications for an air traffic management system. The software was modified quite a bit before it went live, but we tested the prototype with a real jumbo jet sitting on the tarmac. I really enjoyed that.

So if you ever fly across the north atlantic, your flight is being managed by software I wrote and maintained.

when I arrive at my work experiance my boss said "dont worry if you don't finish this project...very few have in 2 weeks, most spend the first week learning to program

." Me being an experianced programmer already, I finished it in the first day

Boss or teacher?

@roninmagus - That is awesome. I want that, except when 'triggered' I would like for it to start writing the stream to disc for, oh, say 5 min.
basically, I want a security camera at my house for when I am away that only starts recording if something is amiss

(just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me)

@ midnight - mind boggling sometimes, eh?
I been meaning to ask for some time now - how do you pronounce 'Guice'?
Goo-E-See-E?
Gu-wEs?
G-U-ice?
Goo-Ice?
Goo-Icey?

thanks

It looks like it might be pronounced Juice.

or its pronounced like "guys" - but since its midnight who made it, it could also be pronounced "gays!!"

Torque's GUI editor beat you to it.
