siwu-

do you want/need any assitance with coding iEx? i'm an undergraduate computer science student at the University of Pittsburgh, and i work as a computer programmer for the Field Robotics Department at Carnegie Mellon University. i would love to work on a project like this, but don't have the time to start one from scratch. let me know if you're interested.

Siwu, what exactly do you mean by it will be coded in unicode? Isn't that just a character set?

Well, yes, but you have to enable it in your program.

Because unicode programs are not the same a non-unicode, because you can't describe a unicode char with the char type.

You have to use WCHAR (wide-char), also, functions are quite different.

For example: strlen() becomes wcslen() (STRing LENgth to WideCharString LENgth) or MessageBoxA() become MessageBoxW() (VC++ has macro for that that don't require you to explicitely call *A or *W functions at compilation time).

I hope I'm clear :)

What do you gain from using unicode if you don't mind me asking? I am a programmer (c/c++ and limited java all on unix) and have never heard of this. Please enligten me.

It means that the app can display any language characters.

Thank You. Hope ya'll don't mind me asking these programming questions. I was thinking about doing some directx programming soon. I done some VB but I don't think it's anything like that, lol.
