Is my novel any good?

I know guys, i'm sorry its a link, but i can't upload 5,000 words on this character limit O.O. TO get a real feel for the book i suggest you read all 4 chapters. Chapter 4 is my favourite as Felix opens his heart out to Julian.
Hope you enjoy!
(I posted this question before, but i need fresh insight on the new chapters)
1 AnswerBooks & Authors7 years agoWhy does God want people to worship him?
Seriously why does God want people to worship and believe in him, why does he care?
Also, i don't mean to disrespect anything here, but it seems as though your afterlife choices are believe in God or get tortured relentlessly for all eternity in hell. Not saying God doesn't exist, hell even i believe he exists, these questions just confuse me because why would he do this?
That's another thing, we live a finite existence therefore we can only commit a finite number of sins. The punishment for which lasts for an infinite amount of time. The punishment extremely outweighs the crime.
Finally, one of the commandments is "Thou shalt not kill" and yet we kill things all the time such as chickens and cows. We are sinners by nature, its a little unfair to suffer for all eternity for that.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoFrom these chapters alone would you want to read more?
I posted this story starter previously, but i made some revisions and i would lime fresh insight. The story is currently 2,000 words and only onto chapter 5. I am aware of a spelling mistake it should say "final" instead of "finals". Also, where it says "unforgiving cold" the next paragraph is chapter 2.

2 AnswersBooks & Authors7 years agoC++ Windows App Development question?
So for my first "App" which is really a text based "your choices effect the outcome" game has hit a slight snag. I need some help with one bit of programming.
Say someone presses a button to select for that action to happen, what code do i put in in order for the display to change to the next story (I can't explain it any clearer, apologies) for instance if button_1 is pressed, load a new part of the story.
I already have the first title screen designed and implemented. I just need it so that once they've put in their name, it'll load the next bit of the story.
Also, would i have it so that each part of the story is a new C++ script? and then i use a command so that when the button is pressed it loads that specific script?
I just need to know that and i can finish this damn game haha any help appreciated (if you even understand what i need help with)
1 AnswerProgramming & Design7 years agoC++ Code not behaving how i imagined it would?
Ok so i've started to learn C++ and someone gave me the idea to create a dice roll game where you are against an opposing player and you have to roll the highest number. I first wrote out some simple code which allowed a random integer to be generated between the values of 1 and 6. Then i tried to add another player and a winning announcement output code which declares either player 1 or player 2 the winner.
Here is the code:
#include <iostream> // Basic I/O
#include <stdlib.h> // srand, rand
#include <time.h> // time
/*
Aim of the game is too get a higher number than Player 2. The numbers are generated randomly so it is all left to chance
*/
using namespace std;
//Main Function
int main()
{
//Main Player (Player 1)
int p1;
srand (time(NULL));
p1 = rand() % 6 + 1;
cout << "Player 1 has rolled a: " << p1 << endl;
return 0;
//Opponent (Player 2)
int p2;
srand (time(NULL));
p2 = rand() % 6 + 1;
cout << "Player 2 has rolled a: " << p2 << endl;
return 0;
//Winner/Loser Announced
if (p1 > p2)
{cout << "Player 1 has won!" << endl;}
else
{cout << "Player 2 has won!" << endl;}
return 0;
}
Before you say it, i know the announcement section won't work properly because if they get the same number player 2 will win. Just live with it haha i'll sort it out later. Anyway you can clearly see i'm a newbie, so try not to be patronising, however tempted you may be! :D
2 AnswersProgramming & Design7 years agoBest books to learn C++ programming from?
From the answers to my previous questions i can clearly see my computer science course won't teach me the language i want to learn. Of course i didn't take the course hoping to learn C++, i've always been interested in computers, so i don't really mind what language we learn in, but i'd prefer to teach myself one as well.
What books would you suggest are good to start learning C++ programming from? If possible can they be available on the Amazon UK webstore (amazon.co.uk).
Also, it would be a big help if you could also suggest a book which is brilliant for learning Python from as i get alot of information online, but i feel a book may give me more information. Also as i'll be on holiday in two to three weeks without wifi, i would like some decent reading material.
Thanks in advance.

If you're studying A level computer science, what programming language are they teaching you?
I'm taking the course in three months time so I'm curious?
2 AnswersPrimary & Secondary Education7 years agoComputer Science A Level what language to we learn to code in?
I'm starting college in about three months and i was wondering what programming language we learn on the A level computer science course. If it helps the examination board is WJEC. I am worried it is python as i know its quite powerful, but it doesn't open up as many doors as lets say C++ or C#.
If you have taken the computer science course what language did you learn whilst on it?

So I've been revising using textbooks and exercise books, but i was wondering what topics would actually be in my upcoming non calculator paper tomorrow?
I have an idea, but i think having it written down for me would help alot. In preparation I've revised quadratics and simultaneuos equations. Trigonometry and Pythagorous' theorum. Graphs and probability the list is endless! So i was hoping to get a list of the topics below, thanks in advance!
1 AnswerPrimary & Secondary Education7 years agoURGENT: Please convert this Python Script to Javascript?
I'm trying to make a simple database run on a html page i have coded it in Python 2, but it's server side not client side O.O. Therefore you would be helping me alot by converting this to javascript. I need a box with a button to be displayed on the page. You would input a users name press submit and it would show Name, Rank, Joined Date.
Script:
user1 = "Xx.:Abbas:.xX"
rank1 = "Founding Father"
joined1 = "N/A"
user2 = "jacksimpson"
rank2 = "Joint Founder"
joined2 = "Apr 19, 2014"
user3 = "::.Charlieboy.:"
rank3 = "1st Founder"
joined3 = "Apr 23, 2014"
user4 = "EpicLewis."
rank4 = "Chief Of Staff"
joined4 = "Apr 20, 2014"
var = raw_input('Please enter the first name of your target: ')
if var == "Xx.:Abbas:.xX":
print "Name: %s" % user1
print "Rank: %s" % rank1
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined1
if var == "jacksimpson":
print "Name: %s" % user2
print "Rank: %s" % rank2
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined2
if var == "::.Charlieboy.:":
print "Name: %s" % user3
print "Rank: %s" % rank3
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined3
if var == "EpicLewis.":
print "Name: %s" % user4
print "Rank: %s" % rank4
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined4
2 AnswersProgramming & Design7 years agoWhy am i getting an EOF error on this Python?
I've coded this in Python 2:
user1 = "John Smith"
rank1 = "Colonel"
joined1 = "N/A"
user2 = "Jack Smith"
rank2 = "Captain"
joined2 = "Apr 19, 2014"
user3 = "Dexter Smith"
rank3 = "Major"
joined3 = "Apr 21, 2014"
var = raw_input('Please enter the first name of your target: ')
if var == "John Smith":
print "Name: %s" % user1
print "Rank: %s" % rank1
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined1
if var == "Jack Smith":
print "Name: %s" % user2
print "Rank: %s" % rank2
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined2
if var == "Dexter Smith":
print "Name: %s" % user3
print "Rank: %s" % rank3
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined3
When i run it, i get an EOF error.
1 AnswerProgramming & Design7 years agoWhy do i get a EOFError with this Python Code?
This is my code:
user1 = "John Smith"
rank1 = "Colonel"
joined1 = "N/A"
user2 = "Jack Smith"
rank2 = "Captain"
joined2 = "Apr 19, 2014"
user3 = "Dexter Smith"
rank3 = "Major"
joined3 = "Apr 21, 2014"
var = var_input("Please enter the first name of your target: ")
if var == "John Smith":
print "Name: %s" % user1
print "Rank: %s" % rank1
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined1
if var == "Jack Smith":
print "Name: %s" % user2
print "Rank: %s" % rank2
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined2
if var == "Dexter Smith":
print "Name: %s" % user3
print "Rank: %s" % rank3
print "Date Joined: %s" % joined3
It relies on user input with raw_input. But i keep getting an EOF Error for rar_input? Why is this?
1 AnswerProgramming & Design7 years agoWhy won't my Python script work?
This is my script:
http://s28.postimg.org/z2eax7p9p/Dtabase.png
Basically it is a very simple Database and the user can grab the data from the script by inputting a name. E.g John Smith.
When i try and run it i get this error:
print "Name: %s" % user1
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Process finished with exit code 1
I probably made a very stupid mistake.
Thanks in advance!
1 AnswerProgramming & Design7 years agoBest website to set up an e commerce site?
I want to set up an e commerce website that is under £25 a month. I will use a .co.uk domain, but I need to know if my website will look professional if I use the hosting site you suggest. Examples such as 1&1 my website, which I haven't tried yet, but I have heard it is good for e-commerce. I have a small part time job which earns about £20 to £30 a month (I only work one day a month so it isn't bad. Round about 2-3 hours a day) its also perfect for financing my website until my products begin to sell.
Any advice on setting up a website such as this will be appreciated.
2 AnswersProgramming & Design7 years agoWhat is the theoretical yield of Copper Oxide with Sulfuric Acid?
Equation:
CuO + H2SO4 --> CuSO4 + H2O
It's already balanced, I want to work out the theoretical yield of this reaction to produce copper sulfate (and water). Please write out the equation so I can look it over and better understand this topic. I've already looked online, but the way it is formatted on the websites makes it hard to read. From what little I was able to make out I found sulfuric acid to be the limiting reactant.
I will use 1g CuO and 20cm^3 sulfuric acid (0.5m)
I sadly don't know the mole ratio, but i think you work it out something like
CuO
1g x 1 / 79.545
Since 79.545 is the molar mass of 1g of CuO, or at least i think it is. I've re-upped the question with more values, realistically i wouldn't have minded if you inputted your own values since i just want to learn how to work it out.
Thanks.
