• Graphical sandbox for pathfinding

  - by vrode

  If you needed a clean and consistent sandbox for pathfinding what would you use? I want to experiment with different pathfinding algorithms by sending virtual units (robots) around obstacles on a geometric plane. But I don't need a feature overkill like a game engine or Flash might have, just an animated report and native collision detector. I prefer it to be scripted in python, but if there are java or C++ alternatives I would appreciate them as well.

• Inheriting database connection in PHP OOP

  - by vrode

  My abstract class Database is made for database interaction and any child of this class (UserDatabase, ActionDatabase, EventDatabase) inherits its database connection which is defined as static. `abstract class Database { static $connection = mysql_connect( ); } class UserDatabase extends Database { ... public function __construct( ) { $connection ? "connected" : "not connected"; $this-table = "users"; mysql_query( "FROM " . $this-table . " SELECT *" ); } } ` Does that mean, that my database connection is only set up and stored in memory once and passed on to subclasses as reference without being replicated for each instance? Is this how you would implement you OOP-correct database interface?

• Can a function/class know the context from where it is being invoked or instantiated?

  - by vrode

  Let's take this class as example and assume that get_context() returns the source of the call: class A { public function __construct( ) { if( get_class( get_context( ) ) == B ) { return true; } else { return false; } } } class B { function __construct( ) { $a = new A( ); } } $a = new B( ); // returns true, as B is the invoking class of A $a = new A( ); // returns false, as B is invoked outside of any class So, my questions are: 1) can a function know the context that calls it? 2) can a object know context from where it has been instantiated? Or am I dreaming up new features not implementable in PHP?

• Difference between :: and -> in PHP

  - by vrode

  I always see people in serious projects use :: everywhere, and - only occasionally in local environment. I only use - myself and never end up in situations when I need a static value outside of a class. Am I a bad person? As I understand, the only situation when -> won't work is when I try following: class StaticDemo { private static $static } $staticDemo = new StaticDemo( ); $staticDemo->static; // wrong $staticDemo::static; // right But am I missing out on some programming correctness when I don't call simple public methods by :: ? Or is it just so that I can call a method without creating an instance?
