A Teaching Toy: Sine wave harmonics demo

[stoo23]

So,... any further input on this subject of appropriate Sub-Sections ??
I don't want to set about creating endless Sub-Sections inappropriately,.. it is Your Forum, not mine,.. so really just want to create stuff How YOU guys want / prefer it to be 

[NoCforMe]

Hmm, is it really that difficult?
Make a sub-forum that has the word "toy" in its title.
Put it somewhere. (Not under the 64-bit forum!)
Put all the toys there.

[stoo23]

Obviously, creating a Sub-Forum,.. is NOT difficult David,.. either is moving stuff that is deemed to be appropriate to there.

Intrinsically Knowing which Main section of the forum where ALL of you would like that new 'Toys' Sub forum to be created is More challenging, if Only to put it Where YOU ALL want it !!!

Plus,.. Why would I also then be the Arbiter of what Is and Isn't ... a 'Toy' !!??

I'm trying to be creatively appropriate and correct here,.. sheesh

[NoCforMe]

OK; how about under either the Showcase or Miscellaneous Projects? Both of these seem like they might be appropriate.

Define "toy". All my code is toys IMHO.

I'd have to argue against that in your case, JJ. You produce useful stuff. I take your meaning, though: a lot of my code is a toy created for my own enjoyment, even if it happens to do something practical.

Good question, though: what is a toy?
I'd say it's a piece of software made for playing with, not necessarily to accomplish a useful purpose. A game would qualify, obviously. Something created strictly for amusement.

OK,... somewhat slightly Wider Focus perhaps but with consideration of the above comments (and the aforementioned excess of under used Sub Forums),.. Is there in fact a Need for the existence of the Tools & Toys (which one could or should reasonably assume Are Finished programs), in the MASM64 section,.. when,.. the Descriptor for the Showcase, suggests;
A gallery of finished applications by experienced members. Do not fill this full of junk or experiments, it is for finished applications. targets can be either 32 or 64 bit assembler applications. Non assembler application will be moved elsewhere.

The 64bit Tools & Toys suggests;
Useful bits & pieces & toys that have been useful from time to time for 64 bit MASM.

Well, not everything included there is Pure 64bit some is 32bit and can be used with and for either and possibly most or many could be moved to the Showcase ??
With further delineation and separation/clarification of actual 'Tools' and 'Toys' etc.

Miscellaneous Projects certainly seems to suggest itself as perhaps being a more appropriate location for 'Toys' with;
A place for projects that are hard to put a handle on.
and further,.. what is the function/purpose of the Sub Section there of;
Windows Projects
A Forum For Windows Projects. ?? by simple definition, isn't this whole forum ostensibly about Windows projects,.. lol

I think quite a bit of rethinking / rationalization could occur to make this less scattered and simpler etc ???

Obviously I would need Your combined help in defining what could / should go where ... but realistically, Who better ??  a Lot of the stuff contained there is yours 

I DO tend to agree re: Tools, being something that Does Something, useful / technical, whereas Toys are as suggested more like Games and more for Fun / experimentation etc.

[jj2007]

Wise words, Stewart

A Forum For Windows Projects. ?? by simple definition, isn't this whole forum ostensibly about Windows projects,.. lol

No. We have a place for 16-bit code, which is definitely not Windows.

I DO tend to agree re: Tools, being something that Does Something, useful / technical, whereas Toys are as suggested more like Games and more for Fun / experimentation etc.

So agreed: tools and toys should be separate, not lumped into the same category.

Now we're getting somewhere.

[NoCforMe]

OK, suggestion:

o Projects
  o Showcase
  o Tools
  o Toys

This way all projects are in one place, with subcategories within.
No need to separate 32-bit and 64-bit programs.

Whaddya think?

The Showcase is not a heavily used subforum, so I don't see any problem having it one level down.

Hi,

A Forum For Windows Projects. ?? by simple definition, isn't this whole forum ostensibly about Windows projects,.. lol

No. We have a place for 16-bit code, which is definitely not Windows.

   Unless you consider Windows versions 3.11 and older.

Cheers,

Here "toy" is not a game, nor something funny.

"toy" is just a little tool, perhaps not useful for everybody.

NoC's program is not a toy, but an example
