Question

I am making this the thread for the development of the OS app.

Answer 1

Here is the test version of it to make sure it makes sense. The sign up button does not work yet, but the get verification key does.

Answer 2

nice

Answer 3

Your kidding right?
C# in the coding language on Windows Phone O.o..
I did not know that otherwise I could have helped you lol.
@poopsiedoodle
You should obstructed the program coding with an encryption of some sort. I know a couple free2use programs for this go head and send my a PM if you want. Since you didn't do that people could easily modify your program and bypass the Verification Key. Or worse get the password you used for the SMTP server.
@ParthKohli it's a false positive. I think it's because the program uses SMTP servers which are generally use to make basic keyloggers. Of course this isn't that thou.

Answer 4

Well, I made it and I haven't gotten any viruses yet :P I thought VB worked for windows phone as well o-o

Answer 5

It's Visual C# for Windows Phone.

I can easily help you with creating this. And I will but I won't be free until the weekend >.<

Answer 6

Well, as long as I get help, I'm OK :P @preetha can I get a list of the subjects?

Answer 7

@poopsiedoodle
Using GetElementById("join-groups") should give you the list of subjects.
Listing them all would require you to updated the app every time a new subject was added, so try to use my method.
private void Button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("join-groups").InvokeMember("click");
}
Would be the full code. Also you can make CSS and integrate it with WebBrowser1 to make a "Mobile" theme for you application.

Answer 8

Is one going to be availabe for Andriod?

Answer 9

It says that the app apears malicious

Answer 10

@~Chance~
It's not malicious read my statement above.
Also I've developed very little this for Android. I'll need to learn more before I can start anything in that section sorry. Although I dunno about poopsie...

Answer 11

Almost forgot. Poopsie...
If there is no Id you can use:
GetElementsByTagName instead.

Answer 12

@FirstFrostByte Alright thanks for the info. Hope to see you on another thread soon. Have a good night from the East Coast, assuming you are on the West. :)

Answer 13

Haha I'm on the east side too. But thanks anyway.
GetElementsByTagName would be needed for the Bump and Close Button.
@poopsiedoodle

Answer 14

I'll try it later. Spanish exam right now :P

Answer 15

Okay. Well good luck. I'd do it my self but I haven't Download the SDK from Microsoft.

Answer 16

ah. Well, if you do, get vb 2010 express.

Answer 17

nice

Answer 18

@poopsie what list do you want? How about if it only works for Math first?

Answer 19

Well, I'm going to start slow and test it subject by subject, but I need a list of all the subjects in OS.

Answer 20

That's one of the menus for the app.

Answer 21

@poopsiedoodle
If you look to the top of the page you will see "Find More Subjects"
Just create a button on when clicked it will invoke "Find More Subjects" in a new window.
For sub-subjects you can use the same method. If you went to list each subject it would be a major pain. OpenStudy already covers a lot of subjects, to list them all is just extra unnecessary work.

Answer 22

I made the main form :D

Answer 23

I think all you need to do is to: 1. Ask a question in Math 2: See last 5 questions in Math 3. Answer one of the last five q in math. 4. Give a medal 5. Invite someone to join. What do you think?

Answer 25

Im surprised that this would be allowed by someone besides one of the Devs like Farm or Shadow.... Also is this only for the client side or..?

Answer 26

Also for Mobile you will want either Java or Objective-C. Obj-C is iOS, Java runs on Windows mobile and for the most part on Android. GO is Android as well, w/e C offshoot will work on Windows Phone, as for VB,maybe VB.net, VB 6 doubt it unless it's exactly the same as the desktops/laptop architecture....

Answer 27

Well, I'm using VB.net, so maybe that'll work.

Answer 28

VB is the worst language that can ever exist on earth.

Android apps uses a dialect of Java and has an entirely different library for GUI works, so you can't just "port" android apps on Windows.

Answer 29

Well, right now I'm making it for windows. I'm rather good at VB, probably because it's easy. So, ya know. Btw, another screenshot coming soon.

Answer 30

Dat update doe.

Answer 31

woah tht looks nice

Answer 32

thanx d00d. :3

Answer 33

Lol omg, poopsie, you my friend need windows 7 c:

Answer 34

Yeah, XP sucks. :P

Answer 35

Xp is great...


@tyteen4a03
"VB is the worst language that can ever exist on earth.

Android apps uses a dialect of Java and has an entirely different library for GUI works, so you can't just "port" android apps on Windows."

First off VB is a great language, and a very old one. Yes it doesn't have objects, which is where .net comes in, but if you look at TIOBE's top languages, it's still #7 for a reason.

As for Androids they use the DELVIK VM which converts Java classes into Delvik byte code, it cannot use AWT or Swing because of the native libraries and such that is needed; however Oracle has mentioned they have lab testings for Android and iOS using JavaFX, so we should see that soon.

Also not sure what the mention of android on windows, since windows and android are 2 different OS's.

Answer 36

my 3 xp computers all suck. And one of them has like... 79 out of 110~ GB of free space.

Answer 37

xp was always the most stable, 7 is pretty good thugh.. Also what does the space have to do with anything...?

Answer 38

I am supporting this effort! Thanks for all the good work and also all the helpful guidance. Wouldnt it be cool if OpenStudiers actually developed this!

Answer 39

Answer 40

I thought that more free space made computers faster...

Answer 41

but yeah, I wouldn't mind a complete list of subjects (sub-groups don't have to be included though).

Answer 42

There are many things that influence a computer's speed. Having 80 out of 100 gigs isn't equal to having 800gigs out of 1 tb. There are many levels of "Crap" including spyware and such, as well as junk. The components also determine the speed.

Answer 43

I am willing to help with this project, though I'm not sure if VB is the right language to do this... Also again is this for a client application, or are we going mobile? Not too sure why one would want a computer based application if OS is already on the web....

also science it is on the web, you would need to be connected via Client/Server and I'm not sure you want VB for that...

OS uses Scala(Java based lang using JVM) as well as I believe some Java, so I would go with using Java or one of their offshoots for this task personally.

Answer 44

I'm sure C# is what that most used language that programs use on the Windows Phone.

Answer 45

Possibly, because it is a Microsoft product.....

Answer 46

But C# is useless on Android and iOS....

Answer 47

So does that make C it self useless for Android?

Answer 48

Well, I'm making it for just desktop and laptop right now, I guess. And, I'm using VB.NET because it's actually the only language I'm good at.

Answer 49

Stop with VB.NET. Start learning C.
Trust me.

Answer 50

BUT AH DUN WANNA. :<

Answer 51

There is room for many apps. As with all advice, take what makes sense. These are well meaning folks. If you want to do it with something else, go for it. If you succeed, more power to you. If you don't succeed, don't worry about it and try again. You will have learned something. I am rooting for you!

Answer 52

Thanks! :P By the way, your comments keep double-posting.

Answer 53

Yeah as Preetha said keep on at it, if anything it's a learning experience for gaining knowledge. I do it all the time. Even if you're a master at your language, there are still certain things you can continue to improve on and learn. I do it all the time, and it's especially great when you have an idea, or someone gives you an idea.

I don't know how VB.NET will do, but it raised up 12 spots since last year, so we can only hope right? :)

Answer 54

I do not know why.

Answer 55

and yeah Preetha has done that a few times, it's admin hax imo :p.

Answer 56

I personally recommend the TIOBE index for everyone who is serious about programming because it shows soo much info, and the trends over the past decade.

When I posted my tutorial on the "Best languages," you always need to consider THE FUTURE! What devices can my code run on?

Desktops are the past, Laptops are also "the past" Mobile is the future. Tablets, Phones, etc.

Answer 57

Virus alert. Do not download the exe file

Answer 58

It is not a virus. =_=

Answer 59

This has been explained above.

Answer 60

@RyanL. it is not a virus

Answer 61

I'm adding in a filter for names! :D

Answer 62

@FirstFrostByte
If InStr(Text1.Text, "Hitler") Then
FormWhatever.Show()
End If

Answer 63

lemme get a screenshot of said filter.

Answer 64

Wait, is that VB

Answer 65

yes.

Answer 66

@dmezzullo

Answer 67

@uri

Answer 68

Jaja, at the title.

Answer 69

of the popup.

Answer 70

:P

Answer 71

BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA POOP THAT LAST ONE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!

Answer 72

:3

Answer 73

Now I need to look up a list of bad words to filter.

Answer 74

Like, uncommon ones.

Answer 75

Could i be of any assistance in this making?

Answer 76

with the list?

Answer 77

Anything with making it or finding words or watever?

Answer 78

Sure :3

Answer 79

AAAAAAAAND, if you want to help extra, let me know.

Answer 80

Ok well msg me on what u want me to do.

Answer 81

Actually, I'll tell you here.

Answer 82

ok

Answer 83

for the list, I'm using this code:

If InStr(TextBox1.Text, "badword1") Then
My.Settings.InappropriateName = 1
Form9.Show()
ElseIf InStr(TextBox1.Text, "badword2") Then
My.Settings.InappropriateName = 1
Form9.Show()

I need you to replace badwordblah with the bad word. Every time it says Form9.Show() Press Enter and then start another block with Elseif. So, it'll be like this:

If InStr(TextBox1.Text, "HITLER") Then
My.Settings.InappropriateName = 1
Form9.Show()
ElseIf InStr(TextBox1.Text, "Hitler") Then
My.Settings.InappropriateName = 1
Form9.Show()
ElseIf Instr, etc.

Answer 84

and for each word, I need an ALLCAPS, Onecaps and nocaps version.

Answer 85

Im lost nvm, im not a computer genius i thought it would be easier, Sorry i cant help.

Answer 86

in that case, just give me a list without the code :P

Answer 87

So msg u words that need to be coded?

Answer 88

or put it here?

Answer 89

I guess so :P or just make a list in notepad and attach it.

Answer 90

btw, I already have Hitler and F.ag in there.

Answer 91

ok

Answer 92

And I'll handle all the common bad words like f*ck and sh*t.

Answer 93

Oh wow lol i was jus gettin a msg ready with those lol

Answer 94

If people see my code, they're going to wonder what in the world I'm doing. It has more curse words than a sailor even knows.

Answer 95

Test the signup name filter. You only need to change the userame. @SWAG @Umar97
