[7:46PM] Terrawing

yo

[7:47PM] Terrawing: LA LA [7:48PM] Rhuynh3

yea

[7:48PM] leolian joined the chat room. (7:48PM) [7:48PM] Terrawing

there

[7:49PM] Rhuynh3

hey

[7:49PM] leolian

Ok, I need to find how to join a new channel

[7:49PM] leolian: Now it's ok [7:49PM] Terrawing

you don't have hong's number?

[7:49PM] leolian

Hey, Richard

[7:50PM] Rhuynh3

HEy Leo, hows it going?

[7:51PM] Terrawing

hey Leo can you put your console.cpp and .h files into the trunk because

[7:51PM] Terrawing: i think we all agree to use ur version [7:51PM] Terrawing: don't need to leave it in the tag [7:52PM] leolian

Ok, I will do it later. Now, there are only three people here, how do we start the meeting?

[7:53PM] Terrawing

first thing first is to know what exactly are we doing

[7:53PM] Terrawing: im reading the assignment, what the heck we making? [7:53PM] Terrawing: i tried the testframe [7:53PM] Terrawing: is is exactlyy like that? [7:54PM] leolian

No. I have finished the testFrame part and tag them.

[7:54PM] leolian: Now, we need to finish the step two. [7:54PM] Terrawing

i meant like the r0.1 version where it says to just compile the testframe.cpp

[7:54PM] Terrawing: to the console files you got [7:55PM] leolian

Develop CLabel class and CDialog class.

[7:55PM] leolian: Using Test2DialogAndLabel.cpp [7:56PM] Rhuynh3

we use that to see if our definitions are correct right?

[7:56PM] leolian

Yes. And finish the compilation.

[7:57PM] Rhuynh3

ahh ok

[7:57PM] Terrawing

what?

[7:57PM] Terrawing: english [7:57PM] Terrawing: lol [7:58PM] leolian

But I have read the instruction several times, and I don't understand how to write the two classes yet. Have you had any ideas?

[7:59PM] Terrawing

I think it wants you to follow exactly what it says

[7:59PM] Terrawing: those little comments [7:59PM] Rhuynh3

nah thats where im having trouble

[7:59PM] Terrawing

I just don't know how to

[7:59PM] Rhuynh3

i cant seem to figure out what the two class suppose to do..

[7:59PM] Terrawing

put this together

[7:59PM] Rhuynh3

I hope fardad explain this on Thursday and extend the assignment...

[8:00PM] Rhuynh3: He never explain anything about this assignment :S [8:00PM] leolian

Yes, I think we need to research the CField class and CFrame class because our classes are inherited from these two classes.

[8:00PM] Terrawing

prob should just bug him on irc

[8:00PM] Terrawing: now [8:01PM] leolian

Yes, I think we need professor's instruction

[8:02PM] Terrawing

there's so much stuff in cframe

[8:02PM] Terrawing: i don't even know what it is doing [8:02PM] Rhuynh3

Fardads not on IRC

[8:02PM] Terrawing

looks like a walkthrough of a 2 hour exam

[8:03PM] Terrawing: farlog is him [8:03PM] Terrawing: i think [8:04PM] Terrawing: im gonna email him right now, cuz I don't know how to even start this [8:04PM] Terrawing: think all of us should email him, than we get a faster response [8:05PM] leolian

I think CLabel class is a little easy, maybe we can start from this class and get familliar with the other class

[8:06PM] Rhuynh3

sure

[8:08PM] Terrawing

Im reading the constructors and stuff, it looks kinda like what we did last class on Thursday

[8:08PM] leolian

there are 8 functions and no attributes in CLabel class. maybe we can finish this class first then we switch to CDialog together

[8:09PM] Terrawing

The thing is, what are we compiling this with? If all this is doing is allocating memory and no output, don't know if what im doing is correct

[8:09PM] leolian

otherwise, directly go into CDialog class, I have no idea about this class and don't know where I can start with.

[8:11PM] leolian: I think for each function, we need to write our own test function to make sure it can work properly. [8:12PM] Rhuynh3

alright

[8:12PM] leolian

We cannot write all the functions and then test them. It's hard to find where the error is.

[8:12PM] Rhuynh3

hmm

[8:13PM] Terrawing

so i guess we're making our own main and just test 1 function at a time

[8:13PM] Terrawing: if that is what you mean [8:14PM] leolian

Yes, I think so. Just leave other functions return 0 or something valid.

[8:15PM] Terrawing

i see

[8:16PM] Terrawing: if that's the case the c label really has no work almost [8:16PM] Terrawing: besides the constructor [8:16PM] leolian

When one function works properly, then switch to next function.

[8:16PM] Terrawing

the methods just returns 0 and stuff

[8:18PM] leolian

If you write the constructor, then you can make other functions return 0 and stuff. then write the test function to make sure the constructor work properly.

[8:18PM] leolian: Then continue next function with the proper constructor function. [8:18PM] leolian: That's what I mean. [8:19PM] Terrawing

yea I think that is the best thing we can do right now with the instructions being so vagued

[8:20PM] leolian

Yes, we can finish what we can do first. Then if we have other questions, we can ask for professor's help.

[8:20PM] Terrawing

so how you want to split this?

[8:20PM] Terrawing: between 6 of us i guess [8:21PM] Rhuynh3

just for

[8:21PM] Terrawing

cuz that clabel doesn't have anyhting

[8:21PM] Rhuynh3

CLabel?

[8:21PM] Terrawing

yea

[8:21PM] Terrawing: lol [8:21PM] Rhuynh3

or Dialogue

[8:21PM] Terrawing

label

[8:21PM] Rhuynh3

lol

[8:21PM] Terrawing

i don't even know what the dialogue does yet no pt getting to it

[8:21PM] Terrawing: at lease the label is understandable with the instructions [8:21PM] Rhuynh3

theres not much u can do with the constructor/deconstructor

[8:22PM] Rhuynh3: its just 4 functions [8:22PM] leolian

I have no idea because I have no idea how to start with the CDialog class.

[8:22PM] Terrawing

well since me and richard signed up for that part, maybe we can both try doing it and understand what the hell c label is doing

[8:23PM] Terrawing: than take it from there if we have to explain it [8:23PM] Terrawing: the clabel part i mean [8:23PM] Rhuynh3

yea guess we can do that

[8:23PM] Terrawing

Prob can try emailing fardad for cdialogue

[8:24PM] Terrawing: and what the hell it is suppose to do [8:24PM] Terrawing: since that is the most marks coming from [8:24PM] Rhuynh3

if you're gonna email him

[8:24PM] Rhuynh3: just ask him for both [8:24PM] Terrawing

you emailing him?

[8:24PM] Rhuynh3

yea ill email him

[8:24PM] Terrawing

just cc us

[8:24PM] Terrawing: hopefully he will reply all [8:24PM] Rhuynh3

idk what u mean by CC lol

[8:25PM] Rhuynh3: maybe you should do the emailing lol [8:25PM] Terrawing

put us in the email so we get a copy of the question

[8:25PM] Terrawing: ur asking him [8:25PM] Terrawing: so when he responds hopefully he will email all of us the answer [8:25PM] Terrawing: if he reply all [8:26PM] Terrawing: is he on the campus on tuesday? [8:26PM] Terrawing: better to just ask him in person [8:27PM] leolian

yeah, but I think it's better to send him an email first

[8:28PM] Terrawing

shit he's only in mon and thurs

[8:28PM] Terrawing: yea email it is. [8:28PM] Terrawing: So you emailing him Richard? [8:28PM] leolian

I will continue to study the CDialog and try to understand the CDialog instruction tonight

[8:29PM] Terrawing

you finished DBS already? haha

[8:30PM] leolian

Not yet. But it's stiil a group assignment. I don't need to finish them all by myself. Haha.

[8:30PM] Rhuynh3

yea im emalingi him now

[8:30PM] Rhuynh3: Hey Fardad, [8:30PM] Rhuynh3: we got a few questions about Assignment 2. We read the Assignment over and over again and we're still confuse on what we are suppose to do can you give us a quick run down in laymen what is the end product and what each class is suppose to do? [8:30PM] Rhuynh3: sounds good? [8:31PM] Terrawing

add in what clabel is suppose to do and cdialog?

[8:31PM] leolian

I think we just need to ask him about the CDialog class since CLabel class is easy.

[8:32PM] Rhuynh3

alright

[8:32PM] Terrawing

I guess i'm the one that is going to log this chat

[8:33PM] leolian

I think we need to express that we studied the instruction and can understand some easy parts and cannot understand some difficult parts.

[8:33PM] Rhuynh3

ok sent

[8:33PM] leolian

ok, thanks Richard
