Well we got wadmixfm next! 

Can't wait to see more updates on the Atari tracker thingy you've been working on!

Hope the new job is going okay!

[wadmixfm]

Hey thanks for that mr baggey

yes all back up and running and the new job is great but more bad news for the moment , my landlady is selling the house i am currently renting so i have 2 months to vacate and get in to another place, it never rains but it pours but yes also i am starting back up on the Breakthru project , Midimaster is here and about as soon as we are in contact again we will be back at it but its coming along nicely.

Cheers Dabzy also , the new site looks amazing

Unfortunately as of today ,this project has been abandoned, according to Peter (midimaster) is am not good enough to learn his way of coding ,which is like leading a blind man down a dark tunnel without a guide dog seriously it's too complex to fathom when someone else is creating there own routines and then they ask you to continue it ,might as well ask me to learn German as my first language,sorry I am speaking openly because it's frustrating when someone has all that knowledge and someone like me who has nothing is trying so hard to make it.

@wadmixfm No, Dont give up.

Just because someone else is impatient

Work at your own pace. From what ive seen so far it's going to be excellent!

What are you having problems with?

It's taken me nearly 4 or 5 years to get were im at 

Kindest Regards Baggey

While it's frustrating, it is what it is... It sounds to me that you are expecting MidiMaster to be your tutor just because he has some/written routines that may be of use to you. Unfortunately it just doesnt work that way sometimes, great it it could. But you have to respect that MM might just not have the time to have that level of service for what he's put out, and you know matey, you've just to respect and accept that.

I'm please you've said you havent given up, it's good to hear, all of us on here have hit road blocks, or we want something, know what we want and look for the easiest way, and a bit disheartened when that isnt forth-coming... God knows how many coffees I've went through just reading on subjects over the years.

But that is the reality really.

Anyway, keep going, do a bit of research into what you want... Because you know, MidiMaster had to do the same, we all have to do it at some point.

And when you do come out of the other side, and someone wants a hand... I'm expecting you to be all over it like cheese on a pizza!

I understand the frustration ..
but i think posting issues here.. is the best way..
MidiMaster helped a lot of people including me.
and I value it.

I dont even know what your project is...

I believe if youll post here you will find some answers

Thanks everyone, I am not dissing midimaster for his effort I applaud him but he has been writing a gui for me and what I can't justify is his logic, I am not in his mindset ,when I write something I know where I am in the code ,if somethings wrong I could see it ,but his way of coding is far to complex for a novice ,I do understand it can be frustrating but I never wanted him to write so much into it ,I just wanted guidance ,maybe just ideas instead of writing the functions and expecting me to know what it's all about.

I have nothing against Peter I think he's a great person to work with but as you guys say it is what it is and I will work it out eventually, thanks for understanding.

Nobody said you where! Dont worry about it.

I Have to say when you are learning to Run you need to walk first but of mastered Sitting and crawling.

Midimaster has helped me and guided me as well. He is a very helpful sole and means well. I wouldnt be where i am right now. If it wasnt for him 

I realise it takes years to learn programming. You arent always going to see eye to eye.

Lets face it, the world would be a pretty boring place if everybody thought the same, wouldn't it. 

I understand your Frustration that's why you need to keep pegging away. Hopefully round pegs start to fit and the Square ones now going in to the Square holes. Im sure you you will get there.

It can be Frustrating for both parties.

So, @wadmixfm move on and carry on 

@Midimaster don't stop helping people it can be frustrating for both. I understand that. Everyone's content and Input is important especially on a Forum like this. We have professionals and absolute Beginners here. Oh and the inbetweener's Like!

I look forward to seeing your further creations @wadmixfm and look forward to the way of the @midmaster 

Kindest of Regards Baggey always!

@wadmixfm>>
try to talk with chatgpt, about what you want to make / achieve, a little step at the time, ask it to give you an explanation conceptually (with words), and then a code example with blitzbasic or blitzmax.
you will be surprised how it can help you to understand new stuff !

[wadmixfm]

Thanks for the replies peeps ,the chatgpt thing is a good idea but I feel it's a way of cheating,and it's not really learning ,and that's my downfall I am not good enough to learn ,but I am willing to sort this if it kills me

Midimast is a good teacher but a little too strict ( I mean that in the nicest possible way) he tends to have it all there ready and shows you and then expects you to master it right away and when questioned ,throws down his gauntlet and expects you to complete it when you can't understand what's going on ,I know i am venting with this and I feel so upset about it all because some if the routine which he has created in his worklog gui file is not adaptable by gpt for example.

I just have to take the bull by the horns and persevere and try my best to wriggle out of this hole if have been left in.

Wish me luck 🙏

Please understand ,Peter if you do read this ,this is never a personal attack on you ,I am not that vindictive towards anyone I just want to be taught.

Thanks everyone

i disagree.

chatgpt can help you to understand programming concepts, and math formulas, and how a procedure works, how a graphics effect is achieved, but only if you put the effort to work by little steps, and take the time to describe precisely what you want.

chatgpt can make errors, or can interpret what you meant the wrong way, or you may have expressed it not precisely enough, etc...

but in the end it is useful because you can code with your own style, at your own pace, and only ask chatpgt when you are stuck with a little part of your code.

and personally, i don't ask chatgpt to code for me, i use it to help me to design or to improve a procedure, only conceptually (with words and math formulas)
