I've heard of the ODE Physics Engine/Wrapper, and a Wrapper tutorial in the Tutorials section, but what is a "Wrapper?"


Ross C(Posted 2005) [#2]
Eminem?


Akira(Posted 2005) [#3]
It's something you get lollies out of :)

Seriously though, it is generally a set of commands/functions that provide an interface to the underlying system, which in this instance is the ODE Physics Engine.

Ross, White men can't rap :)


Ross C(Posted 2005) [#4]
They can't jump apparently either. Odd that :D

Rap sucks.....same with new music... go listen to some Pink Floyd/Foriegnor/ACDC/Queen/Led Zep/The Who music. Classic rock rules!


wizzlefish(Posted 2005) [#6]
Well, I got a relatively thorough answer...

Basically, Blitz is a square hole, and the dll is a round peg. So in order to use the two together you need something to make the commands in the dll avaliable in blitz, thats what the wrapper does.

no theduck sucks


Erroneouss(Posted 2005) [#9]
huh?


Damien Sturdy(Posted 2005) [#10]
And why exactly did you post that, Clarks?

Probably to do with that. Though, i agree with the duck :o) Like Eminem though ^_^ (used too)


Rob Farley(Posted 2005) [#12]
Floyd, Zep and the Who I'd agree with... Eminem is a brilliant lyricist regardless if you like the style of music or not.


Ross C(Posted 2005) [#13]
Rob, can u email me, or give me your email address please?


Erroneouss(Posted 2005) [#14]
>> "...Eminem is a brilliant lyricist..."
Your'e joking right?


Rob Farley(Posted 2005) [#15]
Ross: You can contact me through my website.

TheDuck: No. The lyrics to Stan for example are stunning. The tune isn't bad either because it's Dido's 'Thankyou' sampled so generally pretty palettable.

I'm not a fan of 'Rap' music per-se however, Rage against the Machine, Sensor, Us3 etc are damn fine bands. And when it comes down to it's all about the individual track rather than the genre.


WolRon(Posted 2005) [#16]
Stan is an excellent song.
In fact, I just ordered the Marshall Mathers LP CD for my wifes birthday gift...
And when it comes down to it's all about the individual track rather than the genre.
Exactly.

Yep.

And when it comes down to it's all about the individual track rather than the genre.


Couldn't agree more.

I don't undersand how anyone could suggest a whole genre of music 'sucks' while another 'rules' all based on an incredibly tiny number of examples.

I like most of Eminem's stuff, though I dont really listen to rap. I find his work intelligent and emotive, plus very tongue-in-cheek and enjoyable.

So a wrapper is a hammer?

MC Hammer?


Rob Farley(Posted 2005) [#18]
Can't touch this!




BlackJumper(Posted 2005) [#19]
I touched it... but now I have a greasy smear on my monitor. If only I hadn't taken the protective wrapper off ;-)
