I don't disrespect my lecturers. On the first year, Andy said that "we'd be learning Pascal" if it was up to him. What I have trouble with is that I'm on the second year of something which should be...

My lecturers approach was "buffering is complex", that was it. There was no suggestion of "... but try it anyway and see if you can get it to work, here is the theory, make that happen inside a...

1 cycle, at least on a 'fast' 8-bit processor like the 6502, is a nano-second if my memory serves.

He was showing an example of a program from the previous year's first years (if that makes sense), and it was animated but had horrible flicker as though it was written in BASIC on a Sinclair ZX...

if...else if and switch we covered in the first year. The second year is 'advanced programming' and yet we're still asked to use if... else if or switch case. What's advanced about that? Okay, it...

I didn't say Java was slow, I said it is slower than some other comparable languages. And yes, it's the way you write the code, but that's down to how you're taught, and I know this because of the...

Okay, if you insist. But those people who have programmed machine-oriantated languages, like assembly, and especially on legacy systems, always try to optimise to free up processor cycles to do...

Perhaps, but it still helps if you have optimised your code. As for 'GUI' code, well I'm sure that I'll find out what this means. It would help if there was an emphesis on efficiency in my opinion,...

I remember having a similar problem with the JPanel thingy. I had a scrolly text (which would today be called an animated scrolling marque, for those people under 25), and only managed to squeeze...
