Chimarrão Gaúcho

From days 15 to 20 from April, I’ll be in Porto Alegre. I’ll participate on FISL (an old dream) with the presentation “Netbeans: beyond Java”. I’d like to talk about how you can use Netbeans as a great IDE for languages others than Java like Ruby, PHP, JavaFX, Javascript, Python, etc.

Probably I’ll be able to participate also on two events before FISL (about Opensolaris and Java ME).

So … how chimarrão tastes?

Quantos zeros tem entre um e mil?
É mais fácil responder perguntas desse tipo escrevendo pequenos programas usando o suporte a programação funcional e compreensão de lista que algumas linguagens como Python oferecem.
Para contar os zeros de um número, transformamos ele em uma string e contamos quantas substrings ‘0′ ele contém. Por exemplo o 800:

str(800).count(’0′)
# 2

I was looking for a date and time representation useful for registering stock quotes in a simple plain file.
I found that the standard ISO 8601 is just the answer for this, it’s called “Data elements and interchange formats — Information interchange — Representation of dates and times”. Here is a example:
2010-01-20 22:14:38

Eu não achei onde coletar os dados diários de rentabilidade dos fundos de investimento do Banco do Brasil em formato bem estruturado.
Num mundo ideal as coisas seriam assim, você faria uma requisição numa url como esta:
http://bb.com.br/apps/rentabilidade?fundo=Siderurgia&saida=xml
E ele cuspiria um XML com as informações da rentabilidade diária desse fundo, isso se eu não especificasse através de [...]

Here is a useful tip on Python XML decoding.

I’m using the Tiled Map Editor for a while, I even wrote that tutorial about it. It’s a general purpose tile map editor, written in Java but now migrating to C++ with Qt, that can be easily used with my set of free pixelart tiles.

A map done with Tiled is stored in a file with [...]

Here is a Pygame Sprite animation using the approach presented by Joe Wreschnig and Nicolas Crovatti. It’s not yet exactly what I need but is very suitable.

import pygame, random
from pygame.locals import *

class Char(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
x,y = (100,0)
def __init__(self, img, frames=1, modes=1, w=32, h=32, fps=3):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
original_width, original_height = img.get_size()
self._w = w
self._h = h
self._framelist = []
for i in xrange(int(original_width/w)):
self._framelist.append(img.subsurface((i*w,0,w,h)))
self.image = [...]

Here’s a simple key handle in Pygame wheres you move a circle using keyboard.

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

def main():
x,y = (100,100)
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 400))
while 1:
pygame.time.delay(1000/60)
# exit handle
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
return
elif event.type == KEYDOWN and event.key == K_ESCAPE:
return

# keys handle
key=pygame.key.get_pressed()
if [...]
