io-vedit work

I fixed up io_vedit today. I added a loop that will call edit until either _Valdiate returns true or edit terminates and returns a non-navigation key. I'm not sure if I used the right arguement for the function pointer _Validate but at least the code compiles. If anyone in my team reads this, take a look at io_vedit and see if I made any mistakes.

Assignment work

Well, the assignment is going pretty well. Eric adn myself gave Anton a hand with his assignment, scoping out the very small detail that was holding up his code's compilation. Online correspondence works in a pinch but sometimes you need a second pair of eyes on hand to help out. Thus, vedit is on its way to being complete.

Update

Well, things are going ok with the assignment. There were some hiccups, including a mistake with someone accidently committing a file prematurely, and thus leaving the project uncompilable. Luckily, we had backups in the tag folder and so we were able to have Fardad wipe out the trunk and committ the working files into it.

The project

I'm still getting used to working on such a project with a bigger group. I'm used to doing everything on my own or having to do a larger portion of the code, so it's a bit weird for me to have to rely on others to get the work done. Not that I'm complaining, but it makes me feel that I should be contributing more but I don't know how. The problem is that most of the team isn't communicating with the others and so I don't know how to help them out.

As for my last post, the problem was that the program was when the program ended, the top part of the frame would disappear. By putting in a getch, this stop the program from ending prematurely, so I could see that the frame was being constructed properly.

Windows 7 oddity

I was compiling my assignment 1 today and I noticed that the screen wasn't clearing when it should be. I ran the code before I upgraded to Windows 7 and it worked fine. Sometimes, some characters aren't being output. To be on the safe side, I had a colleague of mine run the code on Windows XP and he didn't experience any problems. I'm concerned about this, since I don't want to donwgrade to Vista, and there isn't any other computers at home that I can use. If anybody else notices these problems, or even better has a way to fix this problems, let me know.

Update: The compile I was using is VCC (I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition).

IO_Frame work

I've started work on IO_Frame but I've seemed to have hit a snag. Whenver I try to compile, I get the error message " error LNK2019". For some reason, it doesn't like how I'm using the io_display function. I'll keep at it but this is fustrating the heck out of me.

group meeting

SO we just had our group meeting for the group project. I was glad that Fardad did give us some pointers on the use if svn, but the meeting took too long. Also, we went over what we need to do right now, so that's also a plus.

For next time, I hope we can go over what our individual responsibilities are going to be. I'd like to be able to start planning on what I'm going to do, so that I'm not rushed into a bad implementation. I just hope that we're not just sitting around for a good hour or 2 again.
