Adventures in F# - F# and ADO.NET

Today's post is rather simplistic in what it does, but it illustrates some key language elements of F#, such as exception handling.  The task to accomplish is quite it easy, nameley, to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database called "TestDB" on my local machine, using ADO.NET to pull out some rows of the "Person" table having the following schema: Person (   PersonID: int ;   FirstName nvarchar (50);   LastName nvarchar (50);   Street nvarchar (50);   City nvarchar (50);   ZIP int ) The code we use in F# is a rather straightforward conversion of some typical C# code, and as such is probably not the best way to do things, but it gets the task done, and may illustate the point. #light We use the lightweight syntax option. open System.Data; open System; open System.Data.SqlClient; As a next step, we have to open the correct namespaces. let ADONetTest =    let conStringBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder()   conStringBuilder.IntegratedSecurity   conStringB...

Well not much happened today. I was able to implement a triangle filling routine and read a bit on .NET remoting. I thought about how to implement a Z-Buffer for my small system and thought about homogenous clipping as well. The problems I have right now are: I want to implement basic triangle 2D screen-space clipping. Which itself is not a big deal but I do not want to implement a polygon filling scan-line algorithm. A polygon may be the outcome of a triangle clipped against a rectangular clip window. So what is there to do ? Either clip a triangle which produces a polygon and implement a "simple" scanline algorithm to fill that polygon. The other option is of course to split the triangle into a series of triangles. Either way has its intricacies. As mentioned in yesterday's I want to implement homogenous clipping for triangles. Which makes things even more complicated then a simple 2D clipper. The reason is that not only a triangle can be split into a series of triangle...

Adventures in F# - A Plant for Terrarium 2

Recently, my beloved Terrarium-game has reappeared from the neatherworlds of software. As some of you may know, Terrarium's intend was to showcase the back then rather new and exciting .NET platform version 1.x (not that it is not still exciting). Although from a gamer's perspective, the graphics weren't all to great, from a technology standpoint, it featured great things, such as Webservices, Reflection, etc. At some point Terrarium ceased to exist, which was a shame, since the community was quite active developing plants, herbivores and carnivores for the virtual ecosystem that Terrarium simulates. I for myself, developed some simple creatures too (a simple decision-based/state-based agent), as part of a project I did during university for my AI course. More advanced (in comparison to my creature) could be imported showcasing great AI stuff such as A*, neural networks, planning, etc. However, in an community effort, Terrarium was relaunched lately on codeplex and will hop...
