[RELEASE]Gaydar v1.5

[locofocos]

Hey, I had registered with this site in January of 2007, but only made one post. Anyways, I'm back now.

I've been playing around with coding on the PSP and finally got some stuff to work, so I decided to make my first real piece of homebrew, called Gaydar (gay plus radar). It runs on 1.50, 1.00, and custom firmwares. It's a joke that tells you to point the infrared port at a person, press O, and a light will start blinking telling you whether they're gay or straight (it's about a 50/50 chance either way, regardless of what the infrared port is picking up )

I've included the C++ source code if anybody would like to use part of it. Even if you don't really think you would want it, download it anyways- it's funny to see if someone will show up as gay or straight. I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Here it is (updated version with random gay value and other button presses)-

In this new version, you can press [] to go to gay and triangle to go to straight. Also, after either light starts blinking, you can press X to start it again. You might need to hold it for a second though. It will generate a new gay value when you restart it like that.

Lol, I wonder what happens if I point it at my remote...

[locofocos]

lol, nothing as of now (gay people don't really emit infrared waves). Of course, you're welcome to download it and try

[mohaas05]

Aw damn it my remote is a homosexual.

OMG, my mouse is gay also, as well as my rubiks cube and computer monitor, although my computer itself is a metro sexual transvestite

[locofocos]

Haha, is it not picking up straight any more? *proceeds to put downloaded version on psp and test*

EDIT: Wow, I see. I thought I had made a good way to generate a random number of either 1 or 0, but I guess not. Any ideas (on how to generate either a 1 or 0 in C++)?

[mohaas05]

I dare everyone who has downloaded this app to point it at themselves.

[locofocos]

Haha, I did once and it got straight not that I would try it again. Yeah, for some reason it is pretty biased towards the result being gay because of the way I tried to generate a random number. I'll fix it tomorrow if I can.

[suloku]

You know, I thought the code really would make use of the ir receiver

[tamj]

lol this gave me a laugh. Totally original and unusual.

[TokyoDrift]

this is senseless and offends the homosexual...-.-
the source is written quite difficult for such an easy programm but not bad if this is your first project

you should not break the while loop if the buttons are pressed.
You just need to run the functions startstraight or startgay.

Use rand() or the mersenne twister algorithm to generate random numbers (I prefer the mersenne twister).
If 0 then runs startstraight otherwise startgay

[Davee]

My random number code

void InitRandom(SceKernelUtilsMt19937Context *ctx)
{	
	u32 tick = sceKernelGetSystemTimeLow();
	sceKernelUtilsMt19937Init(ctx, tick);
}

int GetRandom(int min, int max, SceKernelUtilsMt19937Context *ctx)
{	
	return (sceKernelUtilsMt19937UInt(ctx) % (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

this app needs further beta testing, you should take it round to your local pub and point it at strangers.........make sure you keep a log of all test results

Dude!

I was going to make a port of Gaydar!
You beat me to it!!!
Good thing I ported over FanMate before anyone else did...

@author, if you don't know what is the mersenne twister, davee has just posted it 3 posts above this one

[mohaas05]

I'm gonna point this at my TV the next time McCain comes on.

[BlackDevsTeam]

Good
Thank U

[Theredbaron]

This is great. We need more developers like you. Not necessarily the gay part, , but the mere fact that you would create such a one of a kind program. Ha, finally a something that uses the IR port that I would actually use. It just makes me wonder what could be next for you.




No pressure.

[GameBox47]

Haha, great app.

I'm avoiding half my friends now! Turns out most of them are homos!

Thanks for saving my butt virginity!

EDIT: Wow, I see. I thought I had made a good way to generate a random number of either 1 or 0, but I guess not. Any ideas (on how to generate either a 1 or 0 in C++)?

Look at the microseconds value from the real time clock and divide it down,
or time how long the user holds the button.
or just use the random function.

[TokyoDrift]

or just use the random function

I think that would be the easiest
just include math.h
then you can use srand(); at the beginning of your prog and int blabla = rand();

rand()%100

[locofocos]

Wow! 22 downloads! I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but still...

Alright, I've changed it so it actually generates a random number to determine if they're gay or not. I decided to go with the rand() thing for simplicity (and documentation that I found). I would go ahead and release it right now, but I think I'll add the option to press triangle for straight and square for gay (but it won't tell you that except in the readme). It should be out in the next 24 hours.

Also, yes, this is my first project. I realize that the code isn't very optimized in MANY places, but I'm happy that it actually works. Thanks for all the support guys, I really feel welcomed here.

A last note- I think I actually did get the idea from that palm application. My brother had mentioned it a long time ago, and I thought it would be a good idea to start with something simple.

[NoEffex]

Yeah, I've showed this around, it's pretty damn hilarious.

[BlackBurd]

cart was going to make this.
anyways could it have seen this coming.
what is flash?
because that was the gayest thread ever,,,,,,,,....::::..::> .

[locofocos]

Alright, I did it. The main update is that it's actually random as to whether it puts out gay or straight. Also, I added buttons to specifiy the output. Pressing square instead of circle will make it display gay. Likewise, triangle will go to straight. Once either light starts blinking, you can start over again by pressing X (you might need to hold it for a second). It will regenerate the gay value.

I knew it.
