VuTales M.A.S.T.E.R.M.I.N.D.

[David]

A very simple program that receives a question input and spits out an answer.

Sad how such a simple program requires almost 50~ lines or so of code. 🙁

Obviously, with limited experience, it’s messy and not very useful, but I hope one day to develop a version that can be put online – kind of like Wolfram and Alpha, and talk about the legacy that is VuTales…

UPDATE:
Uses arrays instead of doing it manually for each question. Ftw.

Code said: /*
** Written by David G.
** Program answers specified questions within strings. Uses a simple event structure.
** Uses FlowLayout for easier use.
** Strings may be modified easily and answers can be added just as quick.

…?

LOL Vista’s default theme without glass is so ugly.

[David]

Yes – well, I’m upgrading to Windows 7 when it does hit the public.

By the way, what happened to [code] tags? ._.

I already have. It needs some work, but I’m finding it better than XP now.

[Quang]

Ooh how’s windows 7?

[David]

Feedback has been pretty decent for it – although the price when it hits the public is still pretty lame. It’s Microsoft anyway. ._.

The new features are really good though, plus the pre-loaded wallpapers are awesome. 🙂
