What went wrong was as simple as using type=”text/javascript” for javascripts in stead of type=”application/javascript”. gah.

As allways, feedback is appreciated!

the new version is located here.

The old versions can still be found here if anything stops working for you:

version 0.1

version 0.2

1. Neptune’s Pride Battle Calculator

The game uses some simple math to calculate the outcome of battles, and since I am lazy I got tired of doing that math and started working on a battle calculator.

This is my first attempt on php, and it is a work in progress… so feedback is appreciated.

Try it out here: Neptune’s Pride Battle Calculator

UPDATE:

I have ditched php, and gone for javascript in v0.2 of the calculator… Now the workflow is more streamlined since you don’t have to go between different pages to get to results.  Seems to be some css-problems though. And javascript issues with IE. Working on it.

…And apparently IE doesn’t care about height / min-height unless you add an !important to it.

the old version can still be found here

Now everything (at least for norwegian documents) should be working as expected.

1. Citing / displaying source code in LaTeX

Thanks, Peder 2.

No related posts.

It is based on the listings package, we define a lstset that handles the code.  This in combination with a nice caption makes for a nice presentation of source code.

Here is the final result:

LaTeX Source Code Screenshot

“Read more” for the rest of the article

The packages needed are:

• \usepackage{listings}
• \usepackage{cite}
• \usepackage{caption}
• \usepackage{upquote}
• \usepackage{xcolor}
• \usepackage{xcolor}

We now define the caption as:

\DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox{gray}{\parbox{\textwidth}{#1#2#3}}}
\captionsetup[lstlisting]{format=listing,labelfont=white,textfont=white}

This makes a gray box for the caption, with white text.

Now define the lstset with the following:

\lstset{
language=Java,
keywordstyle=\bfseries\ttfamily\color[rgb]{0,0,1},
identifierstyle=\ttfamily,
commentstyle=\color[rgb]{0.133,0.545,0.133},
stringstyle=\ttfamily\color[rgb]{0.627,0.126,0.941},
showstringspaces=false,
basicstyle=\small,
numberstyle=\footnotesize,
numbers=left,
stepnumber=1,
numbersep=10pt,
tabsize=2,
breaklines=true,
prebreak = \raisebox{0ex}[0ex][0ex]{\ensuremath{\hookleftarrow}},
breakatwhitespace=false,
aboveskip={1.5\baselineskip},
columns=fixed,
upquote=true,
extendedchars=true,
frame=bottomline,
inputencoding=utf8
}

The language must obviously be changed to the language  you are using, to provide the correct syntax coloring.

the numbers parameter chooses whether to show line numbers or not, the prebreak parameter adds an arrow to indicate that the line is broken.  The upquote parameter ensures that no fancu “‘s are used, so that you can copy the code and still be able to run it.  The other parameters should be self-explanatory, and can be modified as you see fit.

To use this in your document, you can insert code directly with:

\begin{lstlisting}[label=some-samplecode, caption=Example for code straight from the .tex file]

<insert code here>

\end{lstlisting}

or you can insert code from an external file using:

\lstinputlisting[label=samplecode,caption=Example for code from a file]{sourceCode/K53.java}

all of these can now be referenced from other places in the document with the \ref{labelname} command, and will show up in your overview of listings.

1. Making international characters searchable in LaTeX documents

“The program is fairly simple. You select a text file containing lines with topics you want to learn, and then you have to type inn all of them. The program writes how many topics are left, and can also give you hints if you need it. You are finished when you have written all topics, or have given up by typing “stop”. Then it writes out how long time you used.”
