Am I allowed to make a commercial game? What if I keep the game in beta phase? :)

Hello,
My question:
Am I allowed to use Cirrus with a commercial game?
Am I allowed to use Cirrus with a commercial game if I stay in beta phase?
My fun theory:
I've always been a fan of p2p.  I think we haven't entered the golden age of P2P games yet.
People always look at P2P as "Oh, I'll save on server costs"
Here is a really neet trick though:
If you packet shape a melee game, you can do things like "Update distant players less often", which means you can have more players overall.
Theory goes like this: If a player is 20 seconds away from you even if you both head towards each other, then you only have to send data once every 19 seconds or so.  If you have an action game which needs 50ms pings, you can save those for players really close.  I've done the math on this stuff, if you have a melee game, and everyone has 640k upload, you can handle like 5000 players at once.  Imagine Tekken with 5000 players at the same time...
Another fun theory:
I believe you can simulate a server node on Cirrus.  Designate a certain IP in your peers that is the server.  The server itself is a peer, but peers will send it requests occassionally(login, request friends, request inventory, etc).  The peers will know which one is the server because they're hardcoded with the correct IP
Even better:
For debugging purposes you do not need a computer with a static IP, just create a peer that will respond to a certain code and identify itself as a server.  Everyone knows this is easy to hack(decompile .swf and say it is a server), but you don't normally attract hackers in your first few people playing your game who are out to help you
My goal:
I plan on making a server node which looks and feels similar to classic Battle.net or IRC if you will.  You find/chat with people.  Then you form a party and play.  Or perhaps you simply click: Join Autogroup.  It will have login/password creation, and maybe password recovery once I link in a SMTP server to AS3.  I think if you have registration + login, you're set...  Actually maybe I'll just integrate with Facebook and let them deal with logins and stuff.

You dont have to download anything, just duplicate the current tab and reset your numbers. (tap the tab once and you get a choice of duplicate or delete.) You could then summarize across tabs if you liked.
It is just set up as a way of tracking a period, your choice of duration.
I get paid on the 1st and 15th, with distinct budgeting concerns for both periods (times are tight.). So we would do one for each two weeks to see how we did. Maybe double the budget numbers to get monthly numbers on another tab to track that month. Maybe then  copy paste that data into a YTD tab at the end of the month.
Whole bunch of ways to handle it. You dont have to stick with month by month tabs or files. Using some creative thinking, You can make it so on the YTD tab you type in a month or quarter and it shows that information through equations.

    You have two basic options. One is to use a commercial screen recording app with access to system audio built into the app and the other is to add a system extension like SoundFlower that allows the QT X screen recorder to access/record the system audio. I use the former so I am not that familiar with SoundFlower but there should be several posts to this forum covering this topic.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • Is there anyway to restore lost game data and achievement from the Game Centre after doing a full restore without backup?

    I recently restored my iPad to fix issues with the Facebook account attached to my iPad clearing all saved data and I didn't backup with iCloud because I wanted to get rid of the Facebook account that I could no longer access and remove or attach with games. Game achievements are shown in the Game Centre but when I play the app it starts at the very beginning of the app with no progress is there anyway to retrieve my progress?

    No. Not without a backup.

  • Firefox does not load Facebook games properly. Part of the game is missing.

    When I game on Facebook, part of the game screen is missing and I cannot play it.

    I have Windows XP, and have NO plans on changing because there's nothing wrong with it. But the columns on Facebook Home Page and Facebook Profile page are all to the right. Please, give us an easy solution. This technical crap does the average lay person who is NOT a computer genius a horrible time trying to figure out what the heck you are saying that will resolve the issue. Please...just write a plug in or something so we can download it and be done with it.

  • While playing a game or on Facebook, sometimes the game or program just goes off.  Then I have to start over.  It seems to be doing it more often.  Does anyone else have this problem and can you tell me how to fix it?

    What makes the I-pad kick off while playing games or on Facebook?

    Addition:
    Stupid thing is my computer works fine only internet connected stuff causes TOTAL freezes: nothing works. <CTRL>+<ALT>+<DEL> doesnt react. <ESC> neighter. I can only get my computer to react by "killing" it completely with power shut off ("pull the plug") and starting up from scratch.
    My partners computer is working fine. He also has updated to V10.0.2 And can play the game or do anything else. It happens on my laptop with Windows vista.
    Now Im typing this on an other computer. So the computer details of this one are NOT RELEVANT. Please ignore.
    Because of TOTAL freeze I get NO troubleshooting information.
    The whole screen is a still. Sorry.
    So, now Im pretty sure its FF V10.0.2 cause we've ruled out pretty much everything else and before I go through the whole installation process... This is my LAST hope.
    ANYBODY??? PLEASE HELP ME???

  • I have windows 7 , I was able to access games rooms in yahoo, now the game applet won.t load. I am a computer dummy so all the info on resitting plug ins is unintellegable to me. So can you please give me a simple plain english solution. Thank you.

    I don't know if the problem is due to java or firefox or some other program being updated. It does not matter which game I try to play. I get the popup requesting the authentication code and I type it in. I then get the game room applet but it will not load, even when I click on the click here spot if the applet fails to load.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

    Hi ...
    You accidentally "hid" the purchase ..
    Follow the instructions here.  Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    Once the app is available ...
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Why is it that when I play a game with a moving character, the game freezes up for a second when I move the character? This happens everytime I move them.

    This freezing problem that I am having only happens when there is a moving character in the game. For example, when I hit the left arrow to move them left, the game, in a way, skips the action, and then jumps ahead to after the character has moved. I am not sure whether that would be freezing up or just skipping. I have updated all of my plugins, and I do not know what else to try.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
