NES games were mostly written in 6502 assembler - same architecture as the Apple I, Apple II and the early Commodore machines

this depends entirely on your school - some will teach a particular language and expect your project to be in that language, others are do whatever you want, there are a few that don't even do a project :S

i wouldn't be too concerned if your teacher hasn't mentioned java or c++ one month into preliminary SDD... the syllabus obviously doesn't specify what languages have to be discussed, but either way it doesn't come up until later in the game. theoretically he should start teaching you some...

edit: beaten! darn! still priceless though

i did! but then i live here, so... there is really nothing in it you can't get from the website, except your uni id obviously

i wouldn't get too excited just yet, plenty of us here in canberra haven't got one either ;)

yeah, some of the course names are wrong - my bachelor of philosophy comes up as a diploma of maritime and logistics management o_O the course codes are accurate - you can use something like http://www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/documents/atar/atar10-cutoff-main.pdf to look them up and get the...

Re: hi its looks interesting!!!!!!!! what don't you like watches? see you all tomorrow, i just can't wait for the loooooooong drive to sydney

you didn't increment i in the while loop in maxKingdom ;) other than that it all looks good, exactly what i had for every question. only difference was i decided for the desk check that "a" should be > "b" rather than < "b" such that the algorithm sorted in ascending order. it's not really...

these look spot on to me, exactly what i had

while we're talking about errors, did anyone notice they spelt poor old clinton davisson's name wrong in quanta to quarks? poor guy!

you can post this as often as you like, it's not going to make the wrong answers right

there was no common theme in this year's paper! swimmers, the animal kingdom, cars, joysticks. what happened to the fish theme from 2008? fish fingers, fish and chips, just good old fish. i had studied intensely expecting a fish question and was sorely let down. we even had our examiner call...

this comes back to the stupid way the HSC psuedocode works. according to the specifications, there's no psuedocode instruction to "return" a value. instead they like to use a parameter in the subprogram that is assumed to be passed by reference. so something like: BEGIN MAINLINE a = "hello"...

right, the addresses are counting up by one. the important thing there is that "31" is actually 31 in base 16. 31 in base 16 (= 49 base 10) is not equal to 31 in base 10. it works exactly the same way as when we count upwards in decimal, except we have more "digits" available to us. so in...

this was a fairly poor question because it was so barely related to the syllabus that said, what it's getting at is that, when you have a 32 bit wordlength, each memory address in your system points at 32 bits of data. so, if you asked the computer to tell you the value of memory address 2E, it...
