Valentines Day Screen Saver

Few years back when I was in college I used to get huge amount of time to learn new technologies. In those days once I was trying to learn DirectX programming using Visual C++. I started with few tutorials and learnt a lot about the DirectX programming. At that time I designed my first screen saver using DirectX and Visual C++ which was Falling Hearts screen saver.
Every time valentines day comes close, I still get many mails regarding this screen saver. Some of them are to modify the screen saver, some of them are for the download link and some of them are Thank you mail.
Well, I am happy about it but as said earlier I wrote it long time back and neither I have source code for it anymore with me to modify it nor the time.
To download the screen saver please visit Softpedia at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Screensavers/Valentine-Screensaver-CM.shtml

After this screen saver I wrote another small and very simple game using DirectX, here is the video for it.

Programming with Visual C++ and DirectX API is fun.

Java Tools Plugin for Notepad++

This post and the plugin is outdated. Please use plugin from this link which is updated and allows customization of shortcut key mappings and much more . Notepad++ is a great free editor. I like notepad++ because its a light weight editor and loads instantly. I use notepad++ for editing many files everyday. One plugin I always wanted was a plugin which lets me compile my java files and execute them from editor itself, but I couldn't find it so I wrote a myself. This plugin can be downloaded from  this link . I am working on this plugin to make it more effective, so that if user have more than one installations of JDK or JRE then user should be able to choose which one to use etc. This is a simple plugin which has two commands- Compile - compiles a java file. Run - executes a java file. For using this plugin Java must be installed on the system.

Encrypt Decrypt data using AES in Java

AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. AES is an Symmetric Key Algorithm, that means key used for encrypting the data, same key will be used for  decryption of  the encrypted data. This algorithm supplants DES algorithm. This post shows how to use AES algorithm in Java to encrypt and decrypt data. Encrypting Data- import java.security.GeneralSecurityException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator; import javax.crypto.SecretKey; public class AESTest1 { public static void main(String[] args) throws GeneralSecurityException { KeyGenerator keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES"); keyGenerator.init(128); SecretKey key = keyGenerator.generateKey(); Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES"); cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key); byte encryptedData[] = cipher.doFinal(args[0].getBytes()); } } In above example we have used KeyGenerator class, which generates key for encrypting data, as we are using...

Java Tools Plugin for Notepad++ Update

This post and the plugin is outdated. Please use plugin from  this link  which is updated and allows customization of shortcut key mappings and much more . This post is regarding the update for Notepad++ plugin which I wrote to use compile and execute Java programs from the Notepad++ editor itself. I have updated the plugin so that user can customize the shortcut keys assigned for compiling and executing the programs. Following image shows simple Settings dialog where you can customize the shortcut keys mapping. Although user can customize the keys but to apply them Notepad++ must be restarted. Well, I tried but in Notepad++, there is no way to change mapping after initialization process of plugin.. Click here to download the plugin.
