5610 v9.40 games added???

Hi! I recently updated my 5610d-1 from 8.xx to 9.40...
here's some details:
Nokia 5610d-1
v 9.40
07-11-08
Rm-242
(c) Nokia
Variant: 255.01
Virtual Variant: No virtual variant
And I read that included in this version are gameslike tetris and brain challenge v2, but i just have the old set of games. Is this a problem? Please help me. I'm beginner to these...
Thanks!

I posted this in another thread.

Hello,
I never experienced any crashes/restarts with v4.81 but decided to try this anyway. (Gone from v4.81 to v9.40)
I haven't done much yet but here are some of the obvious improvements.
+ Navigation/phone response quicker
+ Camera much better, quicker, overbright gone so you can take close ups with the flash on. (no strange clicking noises as mentioned by some people who used v8.XX)
+ Standard Nokia movies now play smoothly with no juddering. Maybe it can now play MP4s with more than 12fps?
+ Not sure what this feature is called (Organic desktop?) but the default wallpaper now animates/changes. The bars/shades move. Looks nice.
Has there always been 22 ring tones?
That's about it for now, will continue to test

I do not agree with your observations about the screen distortions.
This has never happened even with v4.81 on my phone.
I do not agree with your sound/music observation, it sounds clear and crisp compared to v4.81.
Why do you want to increase the dB gains on the specific frequency ranges?
By doing that you are messing up the sound quality yourself.
I disagree with your stereo widening observation, with it off the sound is better.
By enabling this feature you are causing some right channels to be crossed over to the left speaker and vice versa.
This only makes matters worse for head phones.
Stereo widening + your messing about with the dB (equaliser) you completely ruin the sound.
And I have experienced 0 popping.
Haven't tried the camera yet.
Those are my observations.

Audigy 2 zs gamer added applicati

Well I see all this help with people who lost their application cd's but I've yet to find anyone who has the cd for my gamer edition soundcard. Now I know the soundcard is basically the same as the regular audigy 2 zs, but when I bought the gamer edtion, I got some added "perks" that were really useful for me like the "THX setup console" and "eax music console with acoustic enchancements" etc... I've yet to find any driver on the creative site or any other site, from iso's or regular rar's that contain all these programs.Sound quality just isn't the same without the ability to fully customize it to my liking and any help as to where I can get these added applications or even just buy a whole new cd for it would make me happy. I got this thing a little more than a year ago and my warranty is out so I know that customer support will probably point me to the online customer support, but I tried that and never got a response back,so please,can anyone help me here?

Hi
These programs you mentioned are included on Audigy 2 Zs installation CD (even on older Audigy versions CD's (not the THX panel)). You can't get them bundled with driver updates.
You find the DL links for the CD from here.

Network Game - Adding more players

Hey. i am in the middle of making a network game. I am have a problem with adding new players.
I am not really sure the best way to do this but what I am doing this now is when a player is first created a
string is sent to the server and returns with how many clients there are and then sets a client id based on that result.
In the main class I have a thread running which moves the players that where created (new Players are stored in an arraylist). Whenever a
player moves it sends its id and current position to the server and the server broadcasts it to all clients.
So, when this thread runs it gets the id number that it broadcasted and if it is higher than the arraylist of stored players, then I create a new player,
and add to the arraylist which is then drawn by the paint method.
When i add a new player, I either add it from another computer or run the program again and connect to the server through port and ip address.
Is this the correct way to do this because what is happening is that when a second players tried to join new players keep getting added. If any of this is not clear I will try and
explain it better, sorry
Thanks in advance for any help given,
Marc

if the game is really simple, sure why not. If your game will send a lot of data over the network, then you'll end up in the interesting part of network game programming; how to deal with latency / slow connections. Whole studies have been made out of that subject alone and it is far from easy material to understand, solve and implement.
I would suggest you check out websites such as gamasutra and gamedev.net for discussions on the topic. A good place to get questions answered is here:
http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/showfaq.asp?forum_id=15
Don't let the fact that it is aimed at C++ scare you away, the information in there mostly applies in general.
because what is happening is that when a second players tried to join new players keep getting addedYes well that would be a bug in your code. Nobody can help you with that until you provide the code that is misbehaving.

CANNOT UPDATE MY 5610 TO 9.40 FIRMWARE! URGENT HEL...

Hi there,
I'm having problems with NSU trying to update my firmware for my 5610 from 4.20 to 9.40. It will download the update up to 28.0mb but then I get an error message saying "Downloading Update Failed".
I have tried reinstalling the updater, and restarting my computer and my phone many times. This is getting very very frustrating and I do not know what else to do. I have checked my product code and it says that the new update is available for my phone. I am also from Canada, but got my phone from Singapore, but I don't think that has any effect.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Please help me!!!!!!
Thanks.

Puzzle Game and new Game Problem

Hello Java Programmers,
Once again I have encountered a problem with my ongoing puzzle game. I have completed it all. Now I want my user to be able to start a new game in after they win. I tried repaint and update method with JFrame but it deosn't reshuffle the buttons. How can I do that. The code geos below.

Need some OO design pointers for a Java card game I wrote for uni

Hi,
I hope a few of you Java sifus can help me understand I dilemma I keep finding myself in.
I created a card game for a university assignment which works great but its not very OO at the moment.
I only have 3 classes; a Card class, a Deck class and a Game class which contains all my GUI, AI, Game Controller, Player and Hand code.
The assignment is over but I feel like enhancing the game, adding animation, multiplayer, several AI agents etc.
The first thing I have attempted is animation and I've hit a brick wall. I am trying to create animation for my card game whereby I have an animation showing the cards being shuffled and then an animation which shows the cards being dealt to the players. The game then commences. The cards on the GUI then need to be clickable (MouseListeners?) to play the game. If you're running Windows 7, load up 'Hearts' and you'll know what I'm trying to achieve.
I don't understand how the GUI, and Card class need to be seperated so that its good OO.
If I give you a few snippets of code, it might explain the situation:
A snippet of my card class is as follows:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Card extends JLabel //Each card is a JLabel
 private int value; //variable for the value of the card
 private int suit; //variable for the suit of the card
 private ImageIcon frontOfCard; //Displays the image of the front of the cards
 private ImageIcon backOfCard; //displays the image of the back of the cards
 public Card (int Value, int Suit, ImageIcon front, ImageIcon back)
 value = Value;
 suit = Suit;
 frontOfCard = front;
 backOfCard = back;
 setIcon(backOfCard); //To make it non-visible when dealt
 }As you can see, each card is a JPanel. I've been told by some I shouldn't extend JPanel but rather that I should have a BufferedImage/Image instance variable for each card as the image of the card. The thing is that I need each card displayed on the GUI which can then be clickable. When it is clicked, it is moved from the players hand, into the players move. - There needs to be an animation showing this.
I've got the animation code figured out in terms of how to move 'images' around a screen to make a pleasing animation. The problem is there are no clickable listeners for images, so the Images needs to be inside some container; a widget which can fire events - Hence the reason I have chosen to extend JPanel for my Cards.
and a Deck class, snippet is as follows:
public class Deck extends JLabel //The deck will be shown on the GUI as a JLabel
 private ArrayList<Card> standardDeck;
 public Deck()
 standardDeck = new ArrayList<Card>();
 ImageIcon cardBack = new ImageIcon("CardBack.png");
 setPreferredSize(new Dimension(90, 135));
 setIcon(cardBack);
 int cardCount = 0; //This variable counts the cards. Is used to assist in the name generation of the imageicon filename
 String str; //the imageIcon constructor accepts filenames as strings so this string holds the filename of the corresponding card image file.
 for (int a=0; a<4; a++) //putting the cards into the deck with the specifed parameters
 for (int b=2; b<15; b++)
 cardCount+=1; //incrementing the card count (the card files are named 1-52 as integers)
 str = Integer.toString(cardCount); //Integer is converted to string type before being added to string str variable
 str += ".png"; //To complete the image filename, ".png" has to be concatenated to the string.
 standardDeck.add(new Card(b, a, new ImageIcon(str), cardBack)); //creating and then adding the cards
 }This is how I envisage a new class diagram for my game:
Card class
Game Class <--- Holds a Deck instance, Players instances, and the GUI instance
Player Class <-- Will contains hand 'instances' , but I will not create a seperate 'Hand' Class, I will use an ArrayList.
AI Class extends Player Class
GUI Class
Deck Class <-- contains 52 cards
My question is, how do I show the Cards on the GUI if my Cards are in a Deck and the Deck is held in the Game class?
Please note that there are 52 cards, so potentially 52 images on the GUI, each of which needs to be clickable. When clicked, the cards are moved about, e.g. from the deck to a players hand, from a players hand back to the deck, from a players hand to a players current move hand.
etc
I've read that GUI, program control, and logic should be seperated. If thats the case, what do I have in my GUI class if the Cards (which are JPanels) are held in the Deck class which in turn is held in the Game class?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
I know what I have written may not be fully clear. I find it hard sometimes to fully convey a problem at hand. Please let me know if you don't understand what I've written and I'll do my best to explain further.

Admirable, and the best way to learn, doing something that interests you.

I don't understand how the GUI, and Card class need to be seperated so that its good OO.
If I give you a few snippets of code, it might explain the situation:
A snippet of my card class is as follows:
Do a quick Google on the model view controller pattern. Your listeners are your controllers. Your JPanel, JButton, etc. are your view. The AI, Player, Card and Deck (and presumably something like Score) are your model. Your model should be completely testable and not dependent on either the controller or the view. Imagine you could play the game from the command line. Get that working first. Then you can add all the bells and whistles for the UI.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Card extends JLabel //Each card is a JLabel
(redacted)
As you can see, each card is a JPanel. I've been told by some I shouldn't extend JPanel but rather that I should have a BufferedImage/Image instance variable for each card as the image of the card. The thing is that I need each card displayed on the GUI which can then be clickable. When it is clicked, it is moved from the players hand, into the players move. - There needs to be an animation showing this.Extending JPanel is fine. As you noted, you need something to add listeners to. However, I would separate things a bit. First, a card really only has a rank and suit (and perhaps an association to either the deck or a player holding the card). The notion of setIcon() is where you are tripping up. The card itself exists in memory. You should be able to test a card without using a UI. Create a separate class (CardPanel or something similar) that has a reference to a Card and the additional methods needed for your UI.
I've got the animation code figured out in terms of how to move 'images' around a screen to make a pleasing animation. The problem is there are no clickable listeners for images, so the Images needs to be inside some container; a widget which can fire events - Hence the reason I have chosen to extend JPanel for my Cards.
and a Deck class, snippet is as follows:
public class Deck extends JLabel //The deck will be shown on the GUI as a JLabel
 private ArrayList<Card> standardDeck;
 public Deck()
 standardDeck = new ArrayList<Card>();
 ImageIcon cardBack = new ImageIcon("CardBack.png");
 setPreferredSize(new Dimension(90, 135));
 setIcon(cardBack);
 int cardCount = 0; //This variable counts the cards. Is used to assist in the name generation of the imageicon filename
 String str; //the imageIcon constructor accepts filenames as strings so this string holds the filename of the corresponding card image file.
 for (int a=0; a<4; a++) //putting the cards into the deck with the specifed parameters
 for (int b=2; b<15; b++)
 cardCount+=1; //incrementing the card count (the card files are named 1-52 as integers)
 str = Integer.toString(cardCount); //Integer is converted to string type before being added to string str variable
 str += ".png"; //To complete the image filename, ".png" has to be concatenated to the string.
 standardDeck.add(new Card(b, a, new ImageIcon(str), cardBack)); //creating and then adding the cards
 }This is how I envisage a new class diagram for my game:
I am not an animation buff, so I will assume the above works.
Card classRemove the UI aspects to this class, and I think you are all set here.
Game Class <--- Holds a Deck instance, Players instances, and the GUI instancePresumably this is where main() resides. It will certainly have a reference to model classes (player, game, deck, etc.) and likely the master JFrame (or a controller class you create yourself).
Player Class <-- Will contains hand 'instances' , but I will not create a seperate 'Hand' Class, I will use an ArrayList.Does a player really have multiple hands? It seems to me more of a one-to-one relationship (or a player has a one-to-many relationship to Card).
AI Class extends Player ClassWhy extend Player? Create a Player interface, then have a HumanPlayer and AIPlayer implementation. Common parts could be refactored out into either a helper class (delegation) or AbstractPlayer (inheritance).
GUI ClassMy assumption is that this class has a reference to the master JFrame.
Deck Class <-- contains 52 cards
Yes. You may end up recycling this class such that a Deck can also function as a Hand for a given player. If there are differences between the two, create an interface and have a Hand and a Deck implementation. Coding to interfaces is a good thing.
My question is, how do I show the Cards on the GUI if my Cards are in a Deck and the Deck is held in the Game class?You need to pass a reference to the appropriate view class. That is how MVC works. The controller receives a request from the view, dispatches to some model functionality you write (such as GameRulesEngine, Deck, etc.) and returns a result to the view (which could be the same view or a different one, imagine someone clicking 'high scores').
Please note that there are 52 cards, so potentially 52 images on the GUI, each of which needs to be clickable. When clicked, the cards are moved about, e.g. from the deck to a players hand, from a players hand back to the deck, from a players hand to a players current move hand.
etc
That is up to you to write the animation code. In principle, you have a mouse listener, and then you take the appropriate rendering steps.
I've read that GUI, program control, and logic should be seperated. If thats the case, what do I have in my GUI class if the Cards (which are JPanels) are held in the Deck class which in turn is held in the Game class?
See above.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
You are welcome.
I know what I have written may not be fully clear. I find it hard sometimes to fully convey a problem at hand. Please let me know if you don't understand what I've written and I'll do my best to explain further.No, you have been doing fine.

Apricots- Old school, side-scrolling fighter jet game!

Sometime ago, maybe five or six years, I stumbled upon a game by chance. Just looking through the package list in Gentoo and trying out games with interesting names. The game was instantly a favorite and still is to this day. Fellow Archers, I introduce you to Apricots, available in extra!
A little history...
The original version of the game dates back to around 1991. The very first version of the game was written on an Amiga, using the AMOS language, and the game was called 'Planegame'. This was a very simple affair with simplistic landscapes, no guns or shrapnel, and very limited computer AI. It was also dreadfully slow. The AMOS compiler improved things somewhat at a later date. A couple of years later I obtained the BLITZ language for the Amiga, and ported 'Planegame' carefully over to that, resulting in a huge speedup. Impressed by the capabilites of BLITZ, in 1995 I proceeded to rewrite the game entirely from scratch, even using completely new graphics and sound. The result was 'Planegame2', which, for various reasons also got dubbed 'Apricots'. This new version of the game added anti-aircraft guns, shrapnel, trees, towers, water, better airbases and a huge improvement on graphics, sound, and intelligent computer AI. Slightly later, in 1996, the Draks were added as a bit of amusement. The result was a highly playable game, which I distributed to a few of my friends. A few years later and I now use a PC, which can run Linux. Having learnt C++ by this time, at the beginning of 2002 I felt ready enough to port 'Apricots' cross platform from BLITZ on the Amiga to C++ on a Linux PC. What you see here is work in progress on that port. The game has been tweaked slightly while being ported over, so is not identical to the Amiga version. Apricots homepage
For as simple of a game as it is, it really can be loads of fun. It almost seems to follow the Dwarf Fortress strategy of "Losing is Fun", as I don't think I've ever really won a game. Even then, the city is fully destructible. As you play, buildings will fall, homes will burn and trees will be blown to pieces. I think that blowing up objects on an enemies airstrip prevents them from re-loading when they land.. I'd have the check the source to be sure. There is a configuration file with loads of options, further ensuring you can get the most out of the game
I've also just loved the fact that the game is open source, as simple as it is. I enjoy browsing this games source code and at one point got to know it pretty well. If anyone is interested, I'd enjoy reviving this project. Maybe add some new features, fix some bugs.
Just wanted to share this great game and see if anyone else has or still does play it.
Protip: Point the plane towards the ground if you happen to stall to recover from it.
To Install:
sudo pacman -S apricots
To tweak:
sudo $EDITOR /usr/share/apricots/apricots.cfg

Thanks everyone for your replies.
phrakture, I have included a patch file also. It's in the archive but you can download it directly:
http://www.iogopro.co.uk/contrib/pacman … earch.diff
Here is how to try it out (assuming the diff and pacman source archive is in the CWD):
$ tar xvzf pacman-2.9.5.tar.gz
$ cd pacman-2.9.5
$ patch -p1 -i ../pacman_and_search.diff
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ./pacman -Ss 3d game
Pink Chick, for that I would have to write a mini parser and interpreter. It's a bit beyond the scope of what I was aiming for ;-) Most of the time I don't imagine needing the full power of arbitrary expressions. It would probably be possible to add support for NOT e.g. 3d !game without too much trouble, I'll look into it.
stonecrest, I could add another command line flag. Any suggestions? Personally I wouldn't mind it replacing the default behaviour, but I'm biased :-)
I will file this as a feature request in the bug tracker as suggested.

Can anyone help?! Please... :)

Hello Everyone!
Just wondering if anyone can help me with something...so, i should say i am pretty much completely new to this whole "Apple" phase...literally! i don't and have never owned an iPhone but about 6 months ago i was going overseas and decided to get an iPad! So, i had overhead people talking to other people about syncing Apple products and IOS etc (whatever all that means i have NO idea! lol yep, i'm quite dumb! ) so with no-one around that i knew (being overseas and all!) i decided to plug a cord into my iPad and laptop and it started syncing and all that random stuff, i never really understood the point and then it said it was finished so unplugged the cords. Then i arrive home from overseas about 2 months ago and was in an Apple store and asked a guy in there how often to do that and he said he synces (or whatever you call it) once a week! i got busy and just today realised i should probably Sync again and get in the habit of it! So i put in my cords (one in Ipad and one in computer as i'd done the one and only time before) however this time after it was 1/2 way into it, it asked me all these questions about setting up my iPad (never saw all that before! :/) and i finished all that set up and what not and now the update is done, WOW, nice to see how just doing a basic Sync updates the iPad and adds stuff, like these icons i've never seen before! But as much as they look cool! Does that mean ALL my old stuff (apps included) has gone?! When i first got my iPad i set it up with FB, got a few games, added a few other useful apps and even wrote notes in the calendar and made a contact list! It seems that with this update i just did now that ALL that has gone! i feel bad whinging about such a silly thing but is there any way to get all what i had before back AND keep this update?! Or do i have to uninstall the update (if you can even do that i have NO idea! :S) or get everything back and loose all those calendar notes and contacts?!
Please help, if you can and sorry about complaining about something that probably sounds so silly! :S

You can't downgrade the operating system (iOS). If you don't have all your apps/games on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to re-download them from Apple for free (as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them) : re-downloading. Once you've downloaded them onto your computer then you could try restoring to your iPad's backup, which should have been made by the iOS update process for you - connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and :
Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup
Hopefully that will copy your apps and their content back to the iPad. If it doesn't copy your apps back to the iPad, then with the iPad 'device' selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs which allows you to specify what content you want copying from your computer onto the iPad - so your music, films, tv shows etc. On the Apps tab you should be able to select which of the apps you want to copy over to the iPad.
If you haven'y already got a copy then you might find the iPad manual useful - you can download a copy from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad . There is also a little bit of info about iOS 5 and syncing on this page, and for syncing content from the iPad back to your computer here

Music server with wrt54gs

I have a wrt54gs wireless router. Everything works great. I installed a requestauduio music server that has an internet connection.
I set up a static IP and it connects fine to the internet. The idea is to be able from OUTSIDE of the house connect to the music server.
I go to the website request.com and log in and it tries to connect and it gives me the info. I am not having any luck setting up the linksys to allow me to gain access.
I know my main IP into the home and it finds it. It tells me the following
netsync port 4665
web port 80
control port 3663
xml (flash port) 3660
Where and how do I input this into the router?
I went to applications and games
added application = music
start 4665 to 4665
both
the static ip of the device
and checked enable.
I am doing something wrong. Can anybody please fill in the blanks of my inexperience.

You are in the right place, but you may need to port forward all the ports used by the application. If you forward port 80, is there some kind of security you can set up to restrict access, otherwise you may find everyone on the internat has access to your music....
