Project Postponed or even cancelled

Well the project has been postboned since I've took a low leveling direction after teh course of Digital Design and the creation of a Full Electronical calculator as a Personal Project.

So it might also be cancelled totaly since I could say as a direction it doesnt has much to offer compare to the new one I'm taking...

Windows Programming : Chapter I 3 "Windows and Messages"

Well I've begun Windows programming with Charles Petrol's book.

Its a very big book of 1100 pages.

I just made a quick read on the 2 first chapters of section I "The Basics" but I've been reading a total of 4 days this damned chapter explaining how a hellow world programm works.

Well windows programming is more difficult than i thought. It has dozens of its own functions at a point to be considered a programming laguage itself. I hope I will make it cause its really difficult and it requires ver very much reading and re-reading and exercise

END OF C READING. PROCEEDING TO WINDOWS PROGRAMMING (API)

I've decided that I know the basics of C so to proceed to Windows Programming. In the end, I dont think I need to know every single detail for that. If there is something else I need to learn that I don't assume that I have to wright now, I will learn in on the way prattically.

C... Learning : Chapter 8 of 8 "The C STL"

Yesterday I finished the resumption of C. I didn't resumpt the Structures and the Access of Files. Since I know there existence and usance I will learn them practicall (permamnently) when I'm going to need them.

That also was the spirit while reading 8th chapter "The C Standar Template Library". No matter how much I red all the functions I was never going to remember them If I hadn't a prattical usance for them. So I just red the time.h header's functions which I found mostly interesting, especially the clock_t_clock() with which you could calculate the time in seconds passed between 2 moments in the program's execution,

On that I've created a programm, a clock actually that counts the pass of time showing secs, minuites and hours. Also I've created a header function which when you call it you pass an amount of time in secs and this function will pause the programm's execution for that amount of time
Actually it occupies the CPU with a loop checking each time the time difference from when the loop started and the curent moment until it reaches the amount of secs given by the user. So its not much of use since you cant use it as a timer in a real time game loop or at least I think so.
