"Slightly more productive than pokemon go" edition

was looking at the list, very intrested in 08, currency converter.
sounds easy except that i dont know how to make a program fetch data from the internet and asign it to a variable.
can someone help?
in c++ please

>>55650984
Lol, I'm having the exact same problem (in C++, no less!)

I've tried researching a bit, but the most I've found is that you need to use something called "Sockets" to retrieve data from the internet

>>55651067
cool, im starting my second semester of information systems engineering today, might ask a programming professor for some help

>>55651146
Awesome! I'll ask around in the dpt and sqt, and see how to do it... Good luck!

What is 06: tornado text/image?

>>55651420
Absolutely no idea... If I had to guess, it'd be placing text in a tornado shape

sort of
like
thi
s?

Or maybe it's derivative of VerticalPosting

Rollin'

>>55652865
It says g's speciality, but I have been asking for weeks, if not months, and it seems no body knows...

>>55653128
Alright... I can just remove that and replace it with something else...

It's weird nobody knows what it is yet it's been on several "Pro/g/ramming Challenge" images, though

>>55650697
Trust /g/ to push smallness and speed over maintainability and readability. Typical.

It's silly to do something like that in a language like C++. That's what your more feature rich, larger languages are for, since efficiency is redundant here anyway.

>>55653307
What language would you recommend? Javascript, perhaps? (I have like zero experience with scripting languages)

>>55653325
Probably a more conventional high level one like Java or Python. Python has a really nice HTTP library that keeps things really simple, so I'd potentially go with that.

I honestly prefer C-like languages, but working at a high level performing complex interactions like that, you're better going for something high level. There is basically no advantage to using an efficient language like C or C++ when you're moving medium-large amounts of data over a likely non-industrial grade network connection.

>>55653325
If you can write decent C++, you can write passable Python in a matter of hours.

Thanks! Funnily enough, I was thinking of picking up "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" this summer! Good to know it has a lot of uses!

It's quite good. That's what I find it best for - automation. And always happy to help a nigga out. You'll come to absolutely love the little things like a standard library that actually has things in it.

And on 2.0 it says text/image and 3.0 in pretty sure it says test/image... I don't have it in front of me to confirm, but I remember noticing it. Maybe it's time for a 4.0

Here's 3.0 (I've been adding difficulty colors to it)

>>55654515
29 tornado TEST/image... Looks good though, I dig the colours

>>55654599
Thanks! I've been thinking of starting some threads for version 3.0's difficulty

I'm still a bit confused... What's a tornado test?

>>55654698
Literally no idea, we have now gone full circle

let's give it a try
