Does anyone know of any good board games coming soon to iPad? I'm trying to find if any companies are developing the games we grew up playing like
Jumanji - I really would like to see this game and they could even have animations
Clue
Parcheesi
Trouble
Guess who

EA makes iPad versions of a number of board games ... I'm sure you could follow them on Twitter or Facebook to keep up with their latest.

Come on Verizon you teased us enough with this coming soon! I'm a developer that purchased the new Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3, it was a nice a phone but not for a developer! So I sold it for $700! It was such a tease! I need an unlocked bootloader so I can install a custom recovery! So it was like buying a brand new laptop with an encoded password! Its not right! It's our hardware! Why must you lock it up?? I hope you guys release this Developer Edition Note 3 before December, if not it looks like I'm switching to Sprint or T-Mobile! You already took my unlimited data away, and now you expect us to buy locked devices? Please Verizon keep development going! It's only making Android better!

Ideas for a simple solution to Coming Soon sign on my site till it's ready

Hello all!
I am downloading my site files for the first time from my server, over an hour now and although my site can be seen on the 'net, it's not ready. I wanted to put a Coming Soon sign to alert any viewers that my site is not yet ready for business. Any thoughts or ideas from anyone who had done this before? I have a few ideas rolling around in my head. I just wanted to get some feedback from all of you. Thanks!

You may wish to place a graphic image or notice on your Index.html page telling people the site is under construction.
Typically, I upload pages to a TEST folder on the remote server to work out any kinks first. Then when I'm sure everything works as it should, I move them to the root folder using a 3rd party FTP ware like Cute FTP, FileZilla or WS_FTP pro. And then I delete the TEST folder.

How to create board game in InDesign

I
am trying to create a board game in InDesign, similar to the trivial pursuit board game. In other words, an outer wheel that has been
divided up in sectionsand then spoes to the center. I think I can figure out how to do the spoes and the center, but I am having problems doing the outer wheel.
Any ideas? Should I be doing this in photoshop instead?
Thanks,
FG

Pretty much the same thing in Illustrator or ID, but Illy has more sophisticated drawing tools, including things like polar coordinates and duplication that will allow you to drag a copy of one of the line segments around an arc, then repeat at the same angle.
In any case, you want to make two concentric circles, then draw a series of radial line segments between them. I'd then select all and creat a compound path.

What is Adobe doing to fix all these bugs...? Is there an update coming soon??

Seeing so many complaints on the Adobe Muse bugs forum, wondering if there is fixes coming soon to all these, ESPECIALLY compatibility issues with Windows 8-8.1 64bit PC's. These are the PC's being sold nowadays, I cannot buy a new laptop with Windows 7 easily anymore... I had no choice.

Some say that there will be a version 8.1 released in the near future. But since your phone is still under warranty, get it checked again. Did you visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider to test the phone?

Pogo board games. What they are using?

Hi,
I been to Pogo.com and tested board games. All are made with JAVA.There games are 2D.
1 - Can some one tell me what mix of techonologies they are using. Board, Poker games? .
2 - Can we made these games with Java 2D library?
3 - What multiplayer server they are using for multiplayer games. Any idea?
4 - How do you find creating games with Java 2D instead of flash (any idea). Is it easy to use 2D library?
5 - If we use 2D library than we need to know Java to work on that?
thanks in advance.

1 - Can some one tell me what mix of techonologies they are using. Board, Poker games? . Well, I would think you have answered your own question before you have even asked it--Java.
2 - Can we made these games with Java 2D library?Yes.
3 - What multiplayer server they are using for multiplayer games. Any idea?Are you asking if there are multiplayer gaming engines that you can incorporate into your software instead of programming it yourself?
4 - How do you find creating games with Java 2D instead of flash (any idea). Is it easy to use 2D library?You lean Java, study the tutorials on Graphics and 2D, then write what you like.
5 - If we use 2D library than we need to know Java to work on that?Ummm... well, yes, of course: do you have to know French to speak it?
thanks in advance.

About MultiplayerOnline Flash Board game

Here is my three tier applcation:
Client Layer : Flash AS3
Application Layer: Asp.net
Database Layer: SQL Server
i have created my websites for asp.net, game programming has
been done, but the only problem is i want a real time basis for
creating a MMO Flash board game. But, how am i going to do that? I
tried webservice package, but It only have PULL technology which is
not suitable for real time basis. Is there any good ideas on what i
should use? i heard about Sockets, XMLSockets, .NET Flash
Remoting..but i am confused on what to use.

Basically you can use anything that uses the rtmp protocol,
like FMS, Red5, Wowza, SmartfoxServer and you can have a look at
WebORB, a remoting package that also has a Publisher/Producer
(comes in a .net flavor too).

About flash Board game

Hi all , i wanna ask a question regarding flash board game.
i have an online flash application of chinese checkers board
games that can be allowed up to 12 games rooms maximum.
The question i wanted to ask is that if i got 12 game rooms ,
do i need 12 different swf files for 2 players , another 12
different swf files got 3 players , another 12 different swf files
for 4 players and 6 players ?
Please someone can enlighten me ? thank you

I think this has more to do with the domain logic (how you
structure your game and what you want it to do) than it does
ActionScript.
There is no reason you couldn't write a chinese checkers game
with a dynamic amount of rooms all in one swf.

Creating a board game

I'm making a "board game" in Flash with Actionscript 3.0.
When the player lands on a certain space, I want a window to pop up
& they complete a word search game. The faster they complete
the word search, the more points they would earn. I already have it
working so that the word search swf pops up at the right time, but
I'm not sure how to grab the time they completed the game in &
send it back to the main movie. I got the word search code from
here:
http://www.subtangent.com/flash/
and it's written in Actionsript 2.0. Is it still possible to use
both together? If so, how can I send the time back to my main movie
to figure out their score?
Thanks,

an as2 swf will work when loaded by an as3 swf. the two can
communicate using the localconnection class.

Tables and Rounding Errors on Board Game Gui

Hello,
So I am in a software development class , and my team and I are developing a software version of a board game that uses numbered tiles placed on a board in a somewhat scrabble-esque way.
Here is a picture of the game board:
[http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1052/untitledqv3.png|http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1052/untitledqv3.png]
Currently, a problem that we are working on is that as the tiles get further and further away from the center of the board, they are displayed further and further askew from the board lines. I have another picture to demonstrate what I'm talking about more clearly.
[http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4605/untitled2nn0.png|http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4605/untitled2nn0.png]
As the tiles get further away from the center, they are displayed more askew.
We think that this happens because we are using a gridbag layout to add tile objects to, which displays the tiles in a certain spacing and orientation, and then we draw the board ourselves. When we draw the board, we get rounding errors inherent in the use of ints, and the lines become a bit off, with the problem getting worse as it gets further and further away from the center.
Here is the code that we use to initialize the layout and add the tiles to it:
     //set the layout
setLayout(new GridLayout(7, 7, 7, 7));
//initialize the array with the references to all the tiles that we are going to add
//to the layout
squares = new SquareView[7][7];
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
     for (int j = 0; j < 7; j++) {
          //create the tile, put a reference to it in the array
          squares[i][j] = new SquareView(boardModel.getSquare(new Point(j, i)), listener, handler);
          //add the tile to the layout
          add(squares[i][j]);
}And here is the code that we are using to draw the lines for the board:
GridLayout layout = (GridLayout) getLayout();
//getting the dimensions of the board
int rows = layout.getRows();
int columns = layout.getColumns();
int width = (getWidth() / columns);
int height = (getHeight() / rows);
g2.drawImage(backgroundImage, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), null);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
     // Vertical lines
     g2.drawLine(i * width, 0, i * width, rows * height);
     // Horizontal lines
     g2.drawLine(0, i * height, columns * width, i * height);
}I think that our problems come from the innacuracy of ints, but if there is some addition or subtraction trick that we could pull, then let me know.
Also, I was sort of looking into tables, and I was wondering if maybe we could use tables to do this, and have Java do our resizing for us.

GridLayout layout = (GridLayout) getLayout();

int rows = layout.getRows();
int columns = layout.getColumns();
int width = (getWidth() / columns);
int height = (getHeight() / rows);
g2.drawImage(backgroundImage, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), null);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
     // Vertical lines
     g2.drawLine(i * width, 0, i * width, rows * height);
     // Horizontal lines
     g2.drawLine(0, i * height, columns * width, i * height);
}I have no idea of this will improve things, but what about:
GridLayout layout = (GridLayout) getLayout();
int rows = layout.getRows();
int columns = layout.getColumns();
double width = (getWidth() / columns); //** how about using doubles here
double height = (getHeight() / rows); //** how about using doubles here
g2.drawImage(backgroundImage, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), null);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
     // Vertical lines
     g2.drawLine(i * width, 0, (int)(i * width), (int)(rows * height)); // and casting?
     // Horizontal lines
     g2.drawLine(0, (int)(i * height), (int)(columns * width), (int)(i * height));
}

How to create SEO friendly, responsive "Coming Soon" page? [was:Help please! I am very new!]

Hi Guys,
First off, this is my first post, and will be one of many, as the Dreamweaver bug his bitten, and bitten hard!
I am new to web design, and am learning Dreamweaver and want to become a web designed after hours as a second job/hobby.
I am currently (unsuccessfully) working on getting a "coming soon" page up and running.
I would like the image to be scalable - however then all my text goes everywhere. I cant have it as a image as then Google doesn't index it, as well as i need to have a hyperlink in the body of the text.
If someone could point me into the right direction, I would be forever thankful!
I have attached the code:

Coming Soon page for iPhone

any chance that apple would update the Coming Soon page for iPhone in other countries, coz the list seems to be the exact same since forever !!

Hi
you may do better in the Developer or even the iWeb sections - but possibly the iPhone is designed to display regular (much wider than 480) pages w/o scrolling, so defaults to 'squeezing' yours to suit that.

even get my actual timeline video printed to tape.
Jerry,
You are a genius! Man do I feel silly. So just for the benefit of others who might read this post, I did exactly as you said, and of course when I restarted FCP, I had to identify my Firewire NTSC setting for the drive. This time, instead of leaving my tapedrive offline, I left it on and immediately saw on my drive monitor the video coming off of my timeline.
Every thing works perfect. I now have a clean timeline with just the content I'm working on and don't have to worry about bars, slugs, post black. Just a few checkboxes and I'm ready to send my tapes off. Really nice feature.
Thanks!

Is there an update for AE CS5 coming soon?

Is there an update for AE CS5 coming soon? I am hoping it will fix the problems I am having...

I can't say when updates are coming or what will or won't be in a given update.
But I can say that we have fixes in the works for some issues, including the AIFF issue.
Stay tuned.

Board game -alternate way to draw

Thanks for reading,
im relatively new to game devpmt, i am making a board game similar to pool.
the board background is a JPanel on which a fixed image is drawn .i want to make a ball moving on it.The ball's image is loaded from a file .since the image is rectangular in boundary,ball when drawn on the board,displays the rectangular boundaries around it.
is there any way to overcome this problem,
all the drawings of board_backround_image and ball_image takesplace when the paintComponent() of the boardpanel is called.
Any suggestions would b great helpful.....

If you are reading from gif or png, make the background of the source image transparent. Otherwise, color the background with some unused palette color, search through the pixels after loading, and replace those pixels with transparent ones.
If using jpg or some other lossy compression scheme, you'll not only need to have a transparency marker, but it will not always have the same RGB to compare with. Here's a quick snippet that will covert a particular color in an image to transparent pixels. The fuzziness variable is how far the red, green, and blue channels may be to still be considered marked as transparent.
public BufferedImage transparify(Image sourceImage, Color replaceColor, int fuzziness)
   int imageWidth = sourceImage.getWidth(null);
   int imageHeight = sourceImage.getHeight(null);
   // ensure we are using a ARGB BufferedImage
   BufferedImage returnImage = new BufferedImage(imageWidth,imageHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
   Graphics imageG = returnImage.getGraphics();
   imageG.drawImage(sourceImage, 0, 0, null);
   imageG.dispose();
   // extract pixel data
   int[] pixels = new int[imageWidth * imageHeight];
   returnImage.getRGB(0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight, pixels, 0, imageWidth);
   int transRed   = replaceColor.getRed();
   int transGreen = replaceColor.getGreen();
   int transBlue = replaceColor.getBlue();
   for (int pixIndex = 0; pixIndex < pixels.length; pixIndex++) {
      // sum the difference of this pixel with the transparency marker
      int diffRed   = transRed   - ((pixels[pixIndex] >> 16) & 0xFF);
      int diffGreen = transGreen - ((pixels[pixIndex] >> 8) & 0xFF);
      int diffBlue = transBlue - (pixels[pixIndex] & 0xFF);
      // if close to the marker, set pixel to transparent
      boolean closeEnough = (diffRed >= 0 ? diffRed : -diffRed) <= fuzziness &&
                      (diffGreen >= 0 ? diffGreen : -diffGreen) <= fuzziness &&
                      (diffBlue >= 0 ? diffBlue : -diffBlue) <= fuzziness;
      if (closeEnough) {
         pixels[pixIndex] = 0; // 0 alpha makes transparent
   returnImage.setRGB(0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight, pixels, 0, imageWidth);
   return returnImage;
}
