It’s been a while since I looked at this stuff but one difference I noticed is that I used jdk1.5.0_07\bin\java.exe . So maybe if you try installing the jdk (if it isn’t already installed) and using a path to that. This is just a guess.

Hello,

I appreciate the effort to help but unfortunately, I am still receiving the same error after creating a shortcut and adding the following to the end of my shortcut’s target:

-vm “C:\Users\Public\java\jre\bin\java.exe”

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Thanks!

Do you plan to release the code for this? I would by quite interested in having a look at a physics engine in its earlier stage. The bigger ones are kind of hard to get a start on…

Comment on Scratch building a model house by Brian Adams

For someone who hasn’t scratch built before, you have done a fantastic job so far. Using the graph paper from old exercise book - grand idea. (How many of those old exercise books have we thrown out, over the years!!)..
Good luck for future construction projects…

Nice article. Another useful tool is GZIP. GZIP is a very effective way of keeping your bandwidth down when having large HTML/PHP pages.

It compresses the page thats being sent to the user viewing your site, when the user recieves this compressed version of the page it uncompresses the page saving bandwidth and speeds up the transfer from server to browser.

Paste ( php_value output_handler ob_gzhandler) into your .htaccess file and it will enable GZIP across all pages in that directory.

I realise that arrays and objects are quite different things but for some purposes they could both be used. For example I could create an object with several variables in it to allow me to conveniently group them, like what you would use a struct in C/C++ for. In this instance it would be faster to use an array with the same functionality.

It does take longer to access an element of an array if you run a simple test script. Like I said in the article this is only practical for very small arrays and would only be used inside a loop where the speed difference is significant. This can easily be tested if you wish to test it.

Dude most of your article is wrong .. you compare apples and oranges … Arrays and Objects are 2 different things… they dont serve the same purpose… and arrays are way faster than a bunch of variables to do the same work … you should point out that type casting is faster.. in php you cant type cast but you can code as if … like if $var = 1 … never change $var to a string .. this takes memory to do it…

i could go on and on about php optimization .. but this article is about 75% wrong

Comment on HTML Canvases and Lindenmayer Systems by John Snyders

I too created a canvas based L-system.
You can read about it and try it out here.
The big differences: you can’t input your own model - you would have to modify the javascript. It supports more kinds of L-systems (but not 3D)
