I am dumb, I need help
worker201:
Christ, ecsyle. How am I supposed to implement that stuff when I'm reading this at the library? Think I'm gonna stick with the solution, since that seems to be the primary problem.
You know, Tex, it would probably be possible to write a graphics editor in JavaScript. But I don't think that would help me understand C pointers any better.

I'm not saying it's not possible ... it probably is ... but it would be a pain in the ass, and not a good idea either.

IT'S BEEN DONE!

http://ajaxsketch.com/
(I posted both of them before..)
The one I made, the first one, if I was making that in C (a) it would've taken me ALOT longer than it did, (b) I wouldn't have had a fcking clue where to start, (c) you bet I wouldn't be arsed getting it to run on Windows and all the other platforms it does run on, and (d) it would take more work to try out my program than clicking a link in firefox...
The only problem is performance. I have a pipe-dream of being able to fix that by having an option to download and install the program on the computer, which would install (among other things) XULrunner (which is the guts of Firefox - gecko and all that) with an SVG canvas (written in C++) and maybe some other stuff optimized especially for this program...
(you'd be surprised how easy that would be, replacing parts of gecko. The only problem would be deciding what I'd change)
Hell it could probably just be a Firefox extension either. Install the extension for optional better performance in Firefox.
H_TeXMeX_H:
Hmmm ... but as ajaxscetch says you need FF in order to use it (IE and Opera probably won't handle them to well if at all) ... how many people use FF ? Those are the only people who will be able to use it (unless they switch of course). It's true that javascript is quite easy to use and learn, and you can do a lot with it (although not all too reliable from my experiences with it), but I dunno, I wouldn't use it for anything too important.

I don't know. Did you get it working regardless?
