My Programs
Download programs I've programmed myself!

At Cybercamps 2002, I learned some basic C++ programming. Later, I began programming in C#, which is a lot like C++ yet slightly newer. Here you can download a couple of the programs I've created. Unfortunately, they only work on Windows computers.

Please note that these aren't the "final" versions and may contain bugs. Don't worry, though -- none of the bugs that I know of do any real harm! All you have to do is close down the program and VOILA! -- problem's gone. However, it may be nice to read my nifty little disclaimer. These programs may also lack certain features that I still hope to include. If you have any feature suggestions, feel free to let me know, and I'll try to incorporate them into future versions. Speaking of versions, while I'll try to keep this page updated with the newest version, I'm pretty likely to fall behind.

Instructions

These downloads are offered as ZIP files. (Basically, that means that I've compressed the files for speedier downloading. However, because they're compressed, there is a need to decompress them for use.) After clicking "Download Now", a dialog box will pop up asking you whether to open the file or save it to your hard drive. Click "Open."

In Windows XP:
Windows XP conveniently comes with a handy-dandy little tool for ZIP decompression. After clicking Open, you'll see a folder with one file. That file is the program. You can use the program straight from there, but if you want to save it for later use you'll have to click "Extract all files" on the left. After clicking through the simple guide to extraction (the "Extraction Wizard"), you'll be asked to specify where to save the program. That is where you'll have to go for future access.

In earlier versions of Windows:
Unfortunately, earlier versions of Windows don't feature the kind of automatic extraction that XP has. (At least, I don't think they do; feel free to prove me wrong!) However, you very well might still be able to extract "zipped" files. After clicking Open, you'll find out! If something happy happens, you're all set -- just follow the simple instructions on-screen. If something sad happens (i.e., and error message), I recommend that you download WinZip. You can download a free 21-day trial at that site. After that, you'd have to pay $30 to keep on using it -- but you won't be downloading these in 21 days, now will you? :-)

Programs

My First Program C++, Cybercamps 2002. ~187KB: This is my first program. It has a kind of conversational style, and features... (1) a calculator, (2) a tic-tac-toe game, (3) guess my number, (4) mad libs, (5) a Star Wars quiz, and more! Note that this program was never really completed, and thus, for example, might claim to have a feature in the Help section that doesn't actually exist. Download now.

Trip Calculator C#, 2003-2004. Version 1.0.1538.19635.: This little program calculates facts about a road trip like miles per gallon, average price of gas, total trip distance and more. It's not very impressive, but it's something. I've delayed the release of this to the public so that I can add some more features and make it more functional. Coming soon!

TuckLyne ChatBot C#, 2003-2004. Version 1.0.1536.34099. ~29KB: This program is a lot like my first program. However, it's more oriented towards educating the user about TuckLyne. Some of its current features include (1) a (better) Star Wars quiz, (2) a searchable TuckLyne staff database, and (3) information on the founding of TuckLyne. This one's really a work in progress! Download now.

TuckLyne Photo Viewer C#, 2003-2004. Version 1.0.1536.32203.: This program is really, really simple! All it does is display four different images. However, seeing as how it's my first real Windows application, I still consider it a major accomplishment. I've delayed the release of this to the public because of some complexities relating to photos and fonts, which aren't an issue with my other programs. Coming soon!

On a happier note, unless specifically noted (**cough** Kazaa **cough**) I am not aware of any bad things that might happen because of any of these programs. Well......... okay, how about this: I'm not aware of any such bad things happening assuming you use these programs in a remotely sensible way. I.E., no stealing code, transmitting confidential information openly over MSN, sending bomb-detonation signals, and so on.
