Ejercicio: Dibujar círculos con macroquad
Primeros Pasos con Rust Hola compañeros, si tienen un tiempo libre podrían ayudarme a terminar este corto programa con https://macroquad.rs/. El objetivo es dibujar en varios círculos de radio aleatorio en filas sin exceder las dimensiones de la pantalla. Para esto estoy creando un iterator personalizado que tiene en cuenta los últimos valores de radio y posiciones x e y generadas, y que trata de verificar que el círculo se pueda dibujar dentro del ancho y el alto de la ventana. Por el momento, mi programa dibuja los círculos en una diagonal. Creo que debo corregir el método next(). Gracias por su ayuda. cargo new shapes --vcs none [package] name = "shapes" version = "0.1.0" rust-version = "1.67" edition = "2021" # See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html [dependencies] macroquad = "0.3" rand = "0.8" main.rs: use ::rand as ra; use macroquad::{color, prelude::*}; use ra::Rng; //use macroquad::rand::rand::prelude::*; /// Representa un objeto para ubicar un círculo en la pantalla. struct Posicionador { ultimo_r: f32, ultimo_x: f32, ultimo_y: f32, aleatorio: ra::rngs::ThreadRng, } impl Posicionador { /// Crea un nuevo objeto. fn new() -> Self { Self { ultimo_r: 0.0, ultimo_x: 0.0, ultimo_y: 0.0, aleatorio: ra::thread_rng(), } } } // Un iterador para crear varios círculos impl Iterator for Posicionador { type Item = Circulo; fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item> { // Espacio entre los círculos let espacio: f32 = 15.0; // Crear un radio aleatorio let nuevo_radio: f32 = self.aleatorio.gen_range(20..101) as f32; // Verificar que las dimensiones del círculo no sobrepasen las dimensiones de la ventana if (nuevo_radio + self.ultimo_x > screen_width()) || (nuevo_radio + self.ultimo_y > screen_height()) { // Aquí un círculo ya no cabe en la pantalla, por lo que terminamos el iterador return None; } // Actualizar los valores para el recién círculo creado self.ultimo_r = nuevo_radio; self.ultimo_x += nuevo_radio + espacio; self.ultimo_y += nuevo_radio + espacio; // Retornar el círculo pedido Some(Circulo { radio: self.ultimo_r, color: color::GOLD, posicion: Punto { x: self.ultimo_x, y: self.ultimo_y, }, }) } } /// Representa la ubicación x e y de un círculo. #[derive(Debug, Clone)] struct Punto { x: f32, y: f32, } /// Representa un círculo geométrico. struct Circulo { radio: f32, color: macroquad::color::Color, posicion: Punto, } impl Circulo { /// Dibuja el círculo en la pantalla fn dibujar(&self) { draw_circle(self.posicion.x, self.posicion.y, self.radio, self.color); } } #[macroquad::main("Figuras")] async fn main() { // Iterador para crear los círculos let mut posicionador = Posicionador::new(); // Vector de círculos let mut circulos: Vec<Circulo> = vec![]; // Crear tantos círculos como el iterador permita. while let Some(circulo) = posicionador.next() { circulos.push(circulo); } loop { clear_background(LIGHTGRAY); // Dibujar los círculos generados for circulo in &circulos { circulo.dibujar(); } next_frame().await } }Launch your Career

What's the advantage of using an Azure command-line tool? Azure runs on automation. Every action inside the portal translates to code being executed to read, create, modify, or delete resources. Azure command-line tools automate routine operations, standardize database failovers, and pull data that provide powerful insight. Chose the right Azure Command Line Tool You have two options when it comes to Azure command-lines: Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell. Both are cross-platform, installable on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The most significant difference is that Azure CLI runs in Windows PowerShell, Cmd, Bash, and Unix shells. Azure PowerShell requires Windows PowerShell or PowerShell to run. Choose the tool that uses your experience and shortens your learning curve but use a different tool when it makes sense. Read more about this here How to install the Azure CLI The Azure CLI is available to install in Windows, macOS and Linux environments. It can also be run in a Docker container and Azure Cloud Shell. I personally use Azure CLI in Ubuntu on WSL. Pick whatever option is best for you. View them all here Commands you should know az login Before using any Azure CLI commands with a local install, you need to sign in with az login. If you're using the Azure Cloud Shell, you don't need to login. If a browser is not available for you to sign in, use az login --use-device-code Set your subscription It's important to set the CLI to work within the subscription you want to. When you login, a default subscription is set for you but you can change that using the az account commands. az account set --subscription {subscription-name} : Will set the subscription. You must provide the name. az account list : Will give you a list of available subscriptions. az account show : will display the current set subscription The Anatomy of an Azure CLI command Prefix: All CLIs have prefixes. Azure's is az . Group: Commands are organized into command groups. Each group represents an Azure service. Subgroup: If a service has various types or services, it will have a or various subgroups. Command: An operation on the service. Arguments: Values you provide the command for context. Arguments can be required, optional, and/or global. The words arguments and parameters are often used interchangeably. az config and az init The Azure CLI allows for user configuration for settings such as logging, data collection, and default argument values. The CLI offers a convenience command for managing some defaults, az config, and an interactive option through az init. az init is an extension that is intended to quickly set up global configurations suitable for your current environment. It adjusts the same configuration file as az config and is meant to help simplify the configuration process whereas az config allows you to go a bit deeper. az init You can set defaults for the CLI with the az config set command. This command takes a space-separated list of key=value pairs as an argument. The provided values are used by the Azure CLI in place of required arguments. az config set defaults.location=eastus2 defaults.group=MyResourceGroup Interactive mode You can use Azure CLI in interactive mode by running the az interactive command. The Azure CLI interactive mode places you in an interactive shell with auto-completion, command descriptions, and examples. Finding commands and help To search for commands, use az find . For example, to search for command names containing secret, use the following command: az find secret Globally available arguments There are some arguments that are available for every Azure CLI command. --help prints CLI reference information about commands and their arguments and lists available subgroups and commands. --output changes the output format. The available output formats are Json, Jsonc (colorized JSON), tsv (Tab-Separated Values), table (human-readable ASCII tables), and yaml. By default the CLI outputs Json. --query uses the JMESPath query language to filter the output returned from Azure services. --verbose prints information about resources created in Azure during an operation, and other useful information. --debug prints even more information about CLI operations, used for debugging purposes. If you find a bug, provide output generated with the --debug flag on when submitting a bug report. Persisted Parameters Azure CLI offers persisted parameters that enable you to store parameter values for continued use. Persisted parameter values are stored in the working directory of the Azure storage account used by Azure Cloud Shell. If you are using a local install of the Azure CLI, values are stored in the working directory on your machine. # Reminder: function app and storage account names must be unique. # turn persisted parameters on az config param-persist on # Create a resource group which will store "resource group" and "location" in persisted parameter. az group create --name RGlocalContext --location westeurope # Create an Azure storage account omitting location and resource group. az storage account create \ --name sa1localcontext \ --sku Standard_LRS # Create a serverless function app in the resource group omitting storage account and resource group. az functionapp create \ --name FAlocalContext \ --consumption-plan-location westeurope \ --functions-version 2 # See the stored parameter values az config param-persist show Reference Scope Set Use az config set defaults.= Scoped globally across the CLI Set explicitly using az config set defaults.= Use for settings such as logging, data collection, and default argument values az config param-persist Scoped locally to a specific working directory Set automatically once persisted parameters are turned on Use for individual workload sequential commands. Querying The Azure CLI uses the --query parameter to execute a JMESPath query on the results of commands. JMESPath is a query language for JSON, giving you the ability to select and modify data from CLI output. The --query parameter is supported by all commands in the Azure CLI. Even when using an output format other than JSON, CLI command results are first treated as JSON for queries. CLI results are either a JSON array or dictionary. Arrays are sequences of objects that can be indexed, and dictionaries are unordered objects accessed with keys. Commands that could return more than one object return an array, and commands that always return only a single object return a dictionary. A few examples: # The following command gets the SSH public keys authorized to connect to the VM by adding a query: az vm show --resource-group rg-demo1 --name vm1 --query "osProfile.linuxConfiguration.ssh.publicKeys" # To get multiple values, put expressions separated by commas in square brackets [ ] (a multiselect list) az vm show --resource-group rg-demo1 --name TestVM --query "[name, osProfile.adminUsername, osProfile.linuxConfiguration.ssh.publicKeys[0].keyData]" # To get a dictionary instead of an array when querying for multiple values, use the { } (multiselect hash) operator. az vm show --resource-group rg-demo1 --name TestVM --query "{VMName:name, admin:osProfile.adminUsername, sshKey:osProfile.linuxConfiguration.ssh.publicKeys[0].keyData}" # To access the properties of elements in an array, you do one of two operations: flattening or filtering. Flattening an array is done with the [] JMESPath operator. All expressions after the [] operator are applied to each element in the current array. If [] appears at the start of the query, it flattens the CLI command result. az vm list --resource-group rg-demo1 --query "[].{Name:name, OS:storageProfile.osDisk.osType, admin:osProfile.adminUsername}" # We can also use filters az vm list --resource-group rg-demo1 --query "[?storageProfile.osDisk.osType=='Linux'].{Name:name, admin:osProfile.adminUsername}" --output table Formatting TSV output format The tsv output format returns tab- and newline-separated values without additional formatting, keys, or other symbols. This is useful when the output is consumed by another command. USER=$(az vm show --resource-group QueryDemo --name TestVM --query "osProfile.adminUsername") echo $USER Table output format The table format prints output as an ASCII table, making it easy to read and scan. Not all fields are included in the table, so this format is best used as a human-searchable overview of data. Fields that are not included in the table can still be filtered for as part of a query. az vm show --resource-group QueryDemo --name TestVM --query "{objectID:id}" --output tableExploring the GitHub certifications
