Adding a timer to a game
I created a game. It's not a quiz, but i tell the users they have 60 seconds to complete it. How do i create a timer with 60 seconds to add to the slide. if they finish within the 60 seconds then their fine. it takes them to a new screen. If they run out of time I will give them one more chance. if they run out of time a second time it will direct them to another screen that basically says they failed.
Any and all help will be appreicated.
Thanks!
@Rod, there is an extra 2 seconds before the jump occurs with the Timer and the Hourglass interaction. So, if you have a time of 60secs, it will take 62secs before the jump occurs. Those two seconds are meant to show a warning text, but would have preferred to have exact timing. You know I'm a control freak
@muse24 you can use that interaction, if you take into account my previous comment to Rod. But you have two possible situations: first time the jump will show a warning (could also be done with the text that you can attach to the interaction) and then you want a second chance. That is more of a problem than the timing itself, because you'll have to return all your images to the original place. And you'll need again a conditional action to achieve the two situations, because the timer cannot have an advanced action attached to it, only a Jump action. This means that the conditional action will have to triggered by the On Enter event of the slide you are jumping to.

How do I add a time stamp to video clips using the date and time the video was taken?
GreenRoom
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running.
Premiere Elements (any version) does not have a built in feature for "adding a time stamp".
What you can do is use the DVDate Plug-in for Premiere Elements for that task. Please see
http://dvdate.ru/
Please read details of the DVDate Plug-in in Item 0014 of my Premiere Elements 12 Daily Discovery blog post

ITunes added extra time to a track
iTunes added extra time to a track after transferring the song from my computer. What do I do to to transfer the song correctly and remove the extra (several minutes) of dead air that iTunes added to the end of the track?
Well....
First of all, let me confirm exactly what you are doing.
I notice you say iTunes is not recognising the change. So when you play the song in iTunes, it does not stop at the new time you've entered, is this correct? Or
is it playing okay in iTunes, but not on your iPod? If this is what's happening, you have Synced your iPod after the change, haven't you? (Any changes you make in iTunes while the iPod is connected to iTunes will almost certainly not be activated on the iPod until you do another Sync.)
(If you manually manage the music on your iPod, you will need to remove the track from the iPod and then put it back on again. Putting it back on should cause the newly revised stop time to be on your iPod.)
So if your stop time is shown (in iTunes) as 2:52, but the track is not stopping at that time - in iTunes - then I suggest you do a repair of iTunes. To repair iTunes, download iTunes and go through the instal procedure. (Do not delete or remove the existing iTunes.) Once the instal procedure sees the existing iTunes, you should see an option to either repair or start new, choose the repair option.
I've had to use the repair iTunes option myself, a few weeks ago, and it fixed the issue I was having. Can't remember what the issue was though!
Finally, if the track plays okay in iTunes but not on the iPod after a new Sync, the only thing I can suggest is a Restore of your iPod. This will remove everything from the iPod and the next Sync put back what it finds in your library. If you manually manage, you will need to put everything back on yourself. -

GwatWell, I don't know because I've never used the Swing timer, and I'm not sure what game you're trying to write. You say "Simon Says" but it sounds more like that old electronic game Simon, or maybe both or maybe neither.
But let's assume that it's like the old electronic game Simon. The point of the game is to press the same buttons that the game lighted up, in the same order. Let's assume the delay you want is the time between button presses or the last light lighting.
The way I'd do it is:
First, create a gameplay object that has as state a sequence to follow, and 4 buttons, and a "last time" number, representing the number of milliseconds since epoch.
When the game is started...
The last time value is set to infinity, or a time far in the future anyway.
Then a TimerTask is created, and scheduled to every tenth of a second. It gets the current time, then if the current time minus the "last time" is over some threshhold value, it ends the game.
LOOP: a sequence is created, one longer than the previous sequence. It's a sequence of buttons.
The sequence is played.
The "last time" value is set to the current time.
Each button press triggers a method. The method first checks to make certain that it represents the next number in the sequence. (One way to do this by the way is to represent the sequence with a queue, and remove the first item from the queue, and compare with the button. If they don't match, the game ends; and when the queue is empty, it's time to loop back up to the LOOP label above.) After it checks the next number in the sequence, it sets "last time" to the current time.
End loop.
That's it.
So in this scenario, the timer task doesn't get scheduled for the length of the timeout. Instead it gets scheduled for a fraction of the timeout length, and when it's called it checks to see if the timeout has passed. You'd create this when you start the game.
Hope this helps. -

IPad time restrictions for games
Our schools are giving each student a personal iPad they will keep through each grade. I need an app that will allow restrictions on time spent playing games but leave books, browser, and apps from teachers enabled. Does it exist?? Can't find one.
Most such apps require jailbreaking or are very limited, but I've seen this one mentioned:
https://parentkit.co
I don't know anything about it myself since the signup procedure is not one I could do just for a test. Might be worth looking into, though.

hello to all the java canons...
1)Can anyone give me a code of image cuting.the problem is that i need to cut an image but not in a square shape,i need to cut it as a trpeze and i didnd found find in the api a method that recives 4 x point and 4 y poins to cut an image in a shape of a trapeze.
2)I have 2 classes:one is JPanel and the other is JApplet.I want to build a timer in a game which gives a player a period of time to play,and if he didnt the game ends.i thoght to build a timer in the JPanel class and to paint a line which is getting bigger every second and when the line ends the player lost.how do the JPanel class know when the player played and stop the animation(the JApplet class has an actionlistener method),because the timer running stayes in the JPanel class until the timer ends...help....give me ideas...
3)I need to upload a gif image to a JButton,i tried the code in the tutorial and it didnt work,can anyone give me a code that he wrote and it worked???
thanks in advance....In response to your first question I recommend following this line into the turorial:
java tutorial >> 2D Graphics >> Displaying Graphics With Graphics2D >> and from there follow the links to Transforming Shapes, Text, and Images and Clipping the Drawing Region.
The first section on Transforming... will show how to use the AffineTransform class to shear. The second shows how to use the clip methods found in the api of the Graphics and Graphics2D classes.

I have just added a time machine to my iMac and it is saying it will take 11 days to do the first back up. Any ideas? It is only 355GB but is being backed up wirelessly but 11 days?
Help.Hi lajetidreaming, I'm in the same boat; "See you in 8 days".
As LaPastenague says, use an ethernetcable for the initial backup.
And I will add; Since TimeMachine don't accept any interruptions during the initial backup, make a small backup first. That is - exclude a number of 'secundary' folders like music etc.
When you have one backup completed, TimeMachine is much more forgiving about interrupts, rebooting your Mac and so.
Good luck! -
My added hour to NFL recorded games is going away
For two weeks now, I have been trying to record the NFL New England Patriots games. As always I added a hour to the DVR recording because the game always runs late. For two weeks in a row, the added hour goes away, and I don't get to watch the end of the game. For this past weekend game, I set up the recording about 5 days before the game. On Saturday, 12/17, I check the recording and the extra hour was gone. I added it again, checked the recording and it showed the game was to be recorded with 60 extra minutes added to the end time. However, sure enough the DVR failed to record the extra 60 minutes of the game.
I have been recording with extra minutes for years, so I know what I am doing. The DVR is removing the extra minutes from my recording.
Help.Perfpix
Hi, I am sorry, I know that is frustrating. What I usually do with live sporting events is I record the event and the show after. That doesn't explain why it is not retaining the setting to record the extra hour. I can always reset the box which will delete any settings you have (it will not delete recordings), in case there is a glitch on your box. If you want to go that route please send me a private message with your contact information.

External hard drive, time machine and games
I have a seagate external I've been using with my g5 iMac as a time machine backup. kids got guitar hero and spore for xmas, and it is playable only on my wife's intel macbook, which simply lacks the hard drive space for them. what I would like to do is take my external and hook it up to the macbook and install those games on the external without wiping, reformatting or otherwise repartitioning that external. Is this possible? am I being silly? is it ok to just hook it up, install and go with it while leaving my time machine backup untouched? or is something going to have to be sacrificed to make it happen?
thanks for the help allTM will not be affected, other than the space dedicated to t.
As to the applications you want to install, if they allow you to install to anything other than the startup device, then install to the external. -
Adding a Time Capsule to an existing AEBS
Hi, thanks in advance for any advice. I've been reading Apple's "Designing Networks" doc and digging around the forums for days and haven't been able to find all the pieces that add up to a solution for my situation.
I have an existing wireless network using an AEBS (802.11g). My DSL modem and HP LaserJet via Ethernet are both connected.
I just bought a Time Capsule for backup, and I'm trying to add it to this existing network. I would have simply replaced the old AEBS entirely but suddenly I can no longer use the phone jack near the printer. So one of the wireless units has to be in one room, with the DSL modem, and the other wireless unit will end up with the HP printer connected.
I've tried adding the TC to the existing network (not WDS), keeping the AEBS as the main base station connected to the DSL modem; the TC shows up on the network. However, I have been unable to "find" the printer that's connected to the TC LAN ethernet port.
--Should I start from scratch and create a WDS network--is that only way to get the HP printer to show up? (I found one other post about HP ethernet printing in the Graphite/Snow forum; but their solution didn't work for some reason)
--Since I'm using a TC and an older AEBS, should the TC be set as the main base station or doesn't it matter?
--Does the DSL modem have to be connected to the main base station or can it be connected to a remote or relay device (and thus allow my laptop and desktop to connect)?
I hope that's all clear enough, and thanks very much for any advice!Hello drm1029. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I've tried adding the TC to the existing network (not WDS), keeping the AEBS as the main base station connected to the DSL modem; the TC shows up on the network. However, I have been unable to "find" the printer that's connected to the TC LAN ethernet port.
I believe that the AirPorts only support sharing a printer connected to its USB port when the AirPort is configured to "join an existing wireless network" as a wireless client. I don't think printers connected to it LAN port will work this way.
--Should I start from scratch and create a WDS network--is that only way to get the HP printer to show up?
Yes, and again, that would be based on my statement above for the reason.
--Since I'm using a TC and an older AEBS, should the TC be set as the main base station or doesn't it matter?
It really won't matter as the WDS can only operate in the 802.11g radio mode when using "mixed mode" base stations.
--Does the DSL modem have to be connected to the main base station or can it be connected to a remote or relay device (and thus allow my laptop and desktop to connect)?
It must be connected to the main base station in the WDS. When properly configured devices will be able to gain Internet access from any of the base stations in the WDS.
