Project AniSphere v3.0

Project AniSphere v3.0 is a further enhancement from my previous developed application which its primary function is to stored information of my downloaded anime and keeping track of each title that still in progress.

Basically this application has been developed only for personal use but it would be interesting that there is someone interested to use the application I developed. So for now i will start off with the enhancement of AniSphere v2.0 to AniSphere v3.0 with the knowledge of programming that I acquired during completion of my final year project. I will write down more detail during my progress to complete this project.

AniSphere v1.0

Finally!!! After months of struggle at last i completed a fully functional program to store all my anime info that i have downloaded~!

It first started when my interest in anime few years back and i really download almost any type of animation that are available. As the large number of animation that i download making things hard to keep track, so normally myself and other anime collector would use Microsoft Excel to add and update their anime list. After sometime i came to realize that using Microsoft Excel to update my anime list is so plain and boring, so i got the idea of creating my own program by using Visual Basic 6.

By right AniSphere suppose to be v2.0 since it follow the same function and concept of the previous program i made but i decided it to be a new version as i have learn and adapted Visual Studio 2005 on Visual Basic language to this project and has way a lot of improvement compare to the first one i made.

AniSphere basically has the function of update, remove, add and transfer to Completed Mode. Also extra function such as check for "Completed Anime", "Burnable Anime" and also "Outdated Anime". Well it does sound like a simple program but for me, it feel like programming is not an easy task which designing the interface on what i wanted and the function needed also is not that simple. Even AniSphere is workable right now but i still have a lot debugging to do in order to make it stable and suitable to use on any condition.

I’m still considering on weather to allow other people to try my software as there is few factors need to consider if i publish this software. So feel free to give me some comment on what you see about the software and i will update more about it when i got the time…

Restart project on Visual Basic!!! ARGH!!!!!

This is really pissing me off!!! After weeks of coding and ended up have to scrap the project and start doing it again!!! Lucky this is not any college assignment if not i’m really screwed…

For your information this project i started right after my holidays and this idea came to me when i started realize that my anime list are getting too long and fill with just plan text on Microsoft Excel so i was thinking of starting a project to code this program ever since i learn how to use Visual Basic. So right now instead of just showing plain text, it now show full information on the anime, image and also reminder on when to update the information. As time pass, so does my coding getting more and more complex and when it gets more complex means that it has more problem and a lot of troubleshoot needed to be done in order for each function to work well so few days ago i ended up in a dead end which i been trying to figure out the way to make the coding work but after much of research i made a conclusion that i made a wrong approach on the core of the coding…

Which sadly for me that i have to restart the project again but at least i learn something new and hopefully it help in the future. If i had the time i might try to blog more on the progress and if anyone is interested you can message me for idea. So now back to work again…
