[RELEASE] Unit Converter v0.2

[Access_Denied]

Yes it's that not so useful application again. Well, soon I hope to make it very useful. But until then, here's v0.2. I fixed a couple of random bugs that I spotted. About 4 or 5 stupid mistakes really. I also added temperature support. I really don't see the need for it, but I added it anyway. And I also added a much needed makeover. Thanks to Twin891, this program now has wonderful graphics. ( Now I just need to make the program as good as the graphics ) I appreciate everyone else who donated graphics, including Grimfate126, The Ex, Chathurga, and Psypher. But in the end, I decided that Twin891's graphics were the best. But anyway here's the links. Comes in two flavors, 1.5 and 1.00/eLoader.

1.00/eLoader

1.50

In the next release, I plan on having weight support. Should be out in two or three days.

Well I'm really glad you like the graphics! Your program is really sweet! and it's getting better every release! BTW i was wondering for the next release if i would be able to edit the gfx a bit so it can fit the program a lil better. I was just thinking for where it says
"Home exit X select" at the bottom of the screen if i could just add a little box sorta thing so it looks more in place. any ways..just let me know, thanks!

Works much better than the first release, still a few bugs like the cm - mm conversion though.

@Twin891 Sure you could edit the graphics a bit. I was shocked when I first used these grapchics though. The backround fits perfect for the layout of the text

@bossmanuk Yeah it does work much better, but it's still a long way away from being a useful program. I seen the cm to mm mistake I made. I fixed it, but I'll just release it in the next release. It would be to much trouble to release another one just for that.

Yawn.
You dont have to release everything you make.

No I don't have to release it. But maybe I want to. So what, it's still a Work in Progress. I can still release it, it's not hurting anybody. And no this isn't the best app ever made. I'll admit that. I'm just trying to release an app that a lot of people will use. And until then, I'm going to be releasing updates on this. Whether they be crap or a really good app. And I could code something MUCH better than this. But I'm part of a dev team, and we're going to start our first project soon. And I don't want to get any really big individual projects started when we're going to start a team one in a week or two. So go ahead, laugh at me. I don't care. Your opinion to me is worthless.

His opinion is worthless...

That is a very nice looking background! However, when the text is white near the top it's a little bit hard to read. But 25 Kb? This would make for some excellent practice in optimization. Using tables would also simplify the code considerably - perhaps having one table list the units, and then another could be a 2-D table with the conversion factors from one index to the other. Something like:

Units={"Millimeters","Centimeters","Inches",...}
UnitConversions={
    {  1, 10, 25.4, ...},
    {0.1,  1, 2.54, ...},
    ...
    }

And then you would use the two indices that the user picks to both find the conversion and display the units, so you wouldn't need nearly so many "if" statements.

Also, the millimeters to miles conversion doesn't work, it just displays millimeters to millimeters.

As for the usefulness of the program, well, it won't be replacing my TI-89 just yet.

Thanks for the tip LMeloir. But I think I'll just leave it how it is now. It's functional and that's all that matters. If someone out there is that worried about 3 or 4 KBs then this isn't the program for them. I also fixed the MM to MI conversion.

Hey, since 50% of programming is math, you'd think you wouldnt be coding how to do/solve math ironically enough...

[rbm115]

nice, your app is awesome,

can you release the source, so i can learn from it.

thanks so much

[Access_Denied]

The app isn't really "awsome" yet, but I hope it is in the near future. And there is no source for LUA. All you have to do is download the app. Then go to the file "script.lua" and open it with a text editor. But I suggest that you learn a little bit of LUA before trying to learn from it.

I'm tryin' the program right now. Anyways, everyone, stop using SendSpace and especially RapidShare. Go to Ripway.com, set up an account, and upload files. You're done! All you need is a link to the download, so you don't have to open up another page and download it.

Nice work!

Uhh, thanks, but I've already released version 3 and 4. This thread is kind of old.
