On Programming and Money:
If this is seriously your situation, stop fooling yourself and go
out and get a job. If there is no work where you are, hitch-hike
somewhere else and get a job, then post the money back to your family.
If you want to learn to program, great! Do it in your spare time. Who
knows, you may even get good at it and make some money some day, but
there's no way known you can learn to program, write a game, market it
and earn some money before those four and a half packets of instant
noodles in the cupboard run out. It's just not going to happen, mate.
Tourist town? One thing that is pretty well universal is that tourists
are a ready source of money. Buy some cheap tee-shirts and print
"Welcome to Auckland, where men are men, and sheep are nervous" on them.
Of course if you're not from Auckland, you'll have to come up with
something else. Tourists will spend $20 on any piece of junk that makes
them laugh (this will include me if I ever get a real Holiday:-0)
On EUPHORIA:
1)
To make a Euphoria program, you must make a text file with some code
in it, then pass that text file to the euphoria interpreter.
2)
You can make the text file using any text editor. I still prefer ED.EX
that comes with euphoria, but it dosn't reall matter
3)
The text file should have the extension .EX (or .EXW)
i.e. "thisfile.EX"
4)
The Euphoria interpreter is a program called "EX.EXE" (or EXW.EXE)
5)
So if you create a text file called "this.ex", with some code in it,
you will have to run EX.EXE and pass it the name of the file
i.e. "EX.EXE THIS.EX"
or "EX THIS.EX"
or just "EX THIS"
In windows you can drag and drop "THIS.EX" onto "EX.EXE" which
should be in c:\euphoria\bin
The only problems you will have doing any of this is if your system
dosn't know where to look for the files. (6) below should fix this.
6)
include the lines already mentioned by several other people in your
config.sys file.
(This should be in your C drive in "My Computer" double-click
then select notepad from the list)
It's also possible (but unlikely) that you have no config.sys file.
If that's the case, right click in your C Drive window and select
New->Text File The just type "config.sys" in the name box.
Re-boot after you have done this
*************************************************************************
So, to recap,
A) make a text file with some code in it
B) pass it to ex.exe, this will run your code
*************************************************************************
ex.exe is for DOS programs (but runs fine under windows)
exw.exe is for windows programs.
I'd start with DOS to do a few tests and find your feet.
Euphoria programs can be easily converted to .EXE files,
but you will have worked that out by the time you get up
to it.
Good luck,
Graeme.
( and seriously man, get a job, the diffrence between a one
income family and a two income family is huge, it will give
you the peace of mind to relax and enjoy yourself )
