Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 17:58): Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 17:58):Which programming languages are you guys planning on learning? I think Go would be fun to use
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:00):c# i need that for making and assigning scripts to model in unity3d
Mitesh (Jan 15 2018 at 18:00):Seeing the tasks...i would like to improve c++ programming...later on I have't planned but would like to learn as many as i can ;)
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:00):i want to be a game designer and thats even my new year resolution , i will learn to make and release atleast one game this year
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:01):Tbh, I'd rather think more in terms of what I want to make, then what programming language to use. It's kind of a secondary thing.
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:02):Well, generally you would assume that if you plan on studying a programming language you would have a motivation beyond 'just learning'
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:03):Not that learning more programming languages isn't good, but it seems as though all too many people get caught up with the "What language should I learn now? What language is important in the 21st century" thing
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:03):C++ is my first language and also my favorite, I've learned various languages during last 3 years and I've mostly wrote C# when I was making games with Unity3D. I'm currently learning Python so I can step into A.I. programming.
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:03):Yeah, personally I don't like those articles but I do believe the syntax of a language does affect the programmer
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:04):hey have you released any game on steam ??
C++ is my first language and also my favorite, I've learned various languages during last 3 years and I've mostly wrote C# when I was making games with Unity3D. I'm currently learning Python so I can step into A.I. programming.
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:04):Even beyond the syntax there are other nuances
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:04):I mean, I don't think many people want to program using Visual Basic ;)
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:04):my teacher recommends me learning dotnet
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:04):Yeah, but I do find it interesting to discover the different programming paradigms
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:04):LOL, I haven't made anything which could be called a Game.
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:05):LOL, I haven't made anything which could be called a Game.
if you make progress , do let me know
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:05):What languages do you guys know as of now?
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):can we share our email addresses ?
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):Yeah, like learning a functional language can really help people used to object oriented understand how to approach problems differently
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):I do know a bit of python, java, js, c, cpp
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):can we share our email addresses ?
Click on the profile pic , LOL.
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):i just realized that
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):Does mysql count
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):i am soooo stupid :face_palm:
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:06):I know python, java, and cpp
Lucas Prieels (Jan 15 2018 at 18:07):C/C++, Swift, a bit of Python (I learned it a long time ago) and also a bit of HTML, CSS, JS (even though they're not programming languages)
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:07):Yes, OOP
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:07):Everyone's stupid at something, Ha ha
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:07)::laughing:
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:08):But I've never really worked on a large scale project for any of those before though
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:08):c++ is wonderful but my god it is just such a pain to work with
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:08):Especially when you try learning about generic programming
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:08):As in generic types?
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:09):LOL, I haven't made anything which could be called a Game.
if you make progress , do let me know
I've made few playable projects and if I really want, I could make a good game in a few weeks. I just need more dedication and motivation.
Lucas Prieels (Jan 15 2018 at 18:09):That would be great if we could work on something all together (except BRL-CAD of course)
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:09):if its possible we could work together
LOL, I haven't made anything which could be called a Game.

Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:09):Yeah, I'd be down to work on a project with you guys
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:10):We could start our own open source app
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:10):yes, i could help
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:10):Maybe we could start the next big open source project!
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:10):i'd try to help
Lucas Prieels (Jan 15 2018 at 18:10):We first need a more precise idea :)
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:10):Yeah! I think this was the actual purpose of GCI: get students to want to engage in more open source and potentially create their own
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:10):A multi-platform chat app?
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:11):like Zulip.
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:11):But realistically, there has to be moderators to maintain such code
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:11):@Naseef In your free time , i would love if you could send me those playable projects
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:11):There are far too many and we need specific knowledge on networking protocols
Mitesh (Jan 15 2018 at 18:11):i got one more...rahil sended me this link...we can also take part in it...Www.launchforth.io
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:11):And setting up stuff like unit testing
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:11):like Zulip.
Mitesh, made a chatting application
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:12):Ya we could all do this , its an competition organized by HP
Mitesh (Jan 15 2018 at 18:12):but it only worked for lan
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:12):Not to rain on our parades or anything, but to do something like a chatting application won't be the best of ideas in my opinion.
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:12):@Naseef In your free time , i would love if you could send me those playable projects
It's been a long while since I uninstalled Unity, But my project files are still here. I'll send them.
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:12):The learning gap is probably too high
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:13):@Naseef In your free time , i would love if you could send me those playable projects

great :smile:
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:13):What if we created a virtual assistant?
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:13):For what?
Mitesh (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):for any OS?
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):It's like trying to reinvent the wheel: if you aren't gonna make it better, what's the point
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):Yeah, multiplatform
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):Like Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana, Bixby
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):www.launchforth.io is a great idea , you have to model using your imagination about how the first city in mars would be like , i think so , only group of 3s can enter ,(probably)
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):Most of those applications are OS specific
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):Or maybe I'm thinking too realistically here.
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):Mitesh is working on one such AI
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:14):There are no well-known open-source virtual assistant.
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:15):/
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:15): Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:16):yya
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:16):The whole process wouldn't really be about making the next big product but rather an opportunity to learn and grow :)
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:16):ya
Jeff Sieu (Jan 15 2018 at 18:16):I agree
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:16):of course, I was just kidding.
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:17):i have a pewdiepie video going on on another tab :laughing:
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:17):I really dislike current virtual assistants because I have no idea where the data is being sent or used
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:17):If we could design our own assistant we would have an option to let it manage all that information locally
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:17):more safer for user
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:18):You watch pewdiepie? have you seen Scare PewDiePie on Youtube TV?
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:18):i just saw on epidsode . i thought that series didn't go well and youtube cancelled scare pewdiepie season 2
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:18):Is anyone actually down to go through with the virtual assistant idea? Add an emoji to this comment if you are.
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:19):i would try my best but after march
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:19):It was cancelled for some other reasons
Rahil Malik (Jan 15 2018 at 18:19):ohhh, do you know ?
Mitesh (Jan 15 2018 at 18:20):ok guys...would ask for leave...feeling little tired today...see you tom...good night and sweet dreams
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:21):Night!
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:28):Anyone here have Github Student Pack?
Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:30):What's that?
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:30):https://education.github.com/pack
Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 18:34):Siraj Raval recently uploaded a video about Unity's new Machine Learning feature, You might like to check that out.

Mahdi (Jan 15 2018 at 18:42):I don't really like c# lol
caleb parks (Jan 15 2018 at 19:39):I have been programing in go lately and it is fun to use. It does alot of thinks correctly that alot languages don't.
Siddharth (Jan 21 2018 at 18:32):I write Haskell
