    Strike IRC bot.

    Finally got round to porting the Stike IRC bot to Linux. The Linux binary is now included within the .zip file.
    I'm sure you Linux users can cope without the config file editor.Wink

    The factory pattern.

    After reading a few explanations of the factory design pattern and viewing some not so simple examples i thought id try an explain it.
     
     
    Why use it?
    Flexible code and can be used to encapsulate code if the creation of an object is complicated.
     
    Psuedo code example shows how it might be used in a cross platform graphics library.
     
    class GenericFactory
    {
     GenericFactory * getFactory()
     {
      if(MyOs() == Windows)
        return(new WindowsFactory);
     
      if(MyOs() == Linux)
        return(new LinuxFactory);
     }
    virtual void drawbutton();
    };
     
    class WindowsFactory:GenericFactory
    {
     drawbutton()
     {
         Do some windows specific stuff
     }
    };
     
    class LinuxFactory:GenericFactory
    {
     drawbutton()
     {
         Do some Linux specific stuff
     }
    };
     
    int main()
    {
         GenericFactory genfactory ;
         GenericFactory * Factory = genfactory.getFactory();
         Factory.drawButton();
    }

    Task explorer

    Similar to windows Task Manager but with extra features:
    • Instant termination of a process.
    • Pause and resume the execution of a process.
    • Realtime system information(e.g. ram usage/cpu usage).
    • Set a process priority.
    • Window manager - Hide and show any windows.
    • Ability to replace taskmanager on the hotkey ctrl + alt + delete.
    This program uses ALOT of windows API calls.
