Can java be used for game dev?

(Side note)-when I first posted here a couple months ago I decided to stop because of final exams.
I want to get back into programming again and Im thinking about starting into java (again). My future hope is to eventually make a basic game. Can you do that with java because a lot of people tell me java 3d is a horrible and useless system.
thanks

If you're working on this project by yourself, I wouldn't recommend using Java 3D. It takes a lot of effort to get even simple 3D graphics working the way you want them to in Java 3D, and the learning curve is pretty steep. I don't have any experience with jogl, though, so I can't say whether or not its any better.

Sun Enterprise Server T5220 - can it be used for games like chess

Hi,
Sun Enterprise Server T5220 - can it used for programnming and playing games like chess and other board games. How many players can it support? It supports 1250 domains. I am not talking about the CPU doing the chess calulations but just following player moves in the User Interface. How many connections can 5220 support?
Regards,
Van Volga.

I'd want to use one of the Mac Mini servers hard drives as a iTunes library for all my devices as well as a TM backup hard-drive & also storage for occasional PC files.
So it is possible?

Can Java be used for this?

Hi. As a hobby, I have built a game with a development tool called Macromedia Director.The game is a 'virtual tabletop' that allows people to play a variety of role playing games over the internet that are traditionally played in a face to face setting at a real table.
Due to some shortcomings with Director I am looking for another language to program the game.I currently use an old version of Director and upgrading is expensive. Director also has limited cross platform support (no Linux). Finally, the future of Director is in question as Macromedia was acquired by Adobe and they have already end-of-lifed some of the acquired products.
My game consists of some basic features. One user runs a server application that accepts connections from the client application. Once connected the cleints can do basis text chat. There is die rolling function. Finally there is a feature for the referee to send pregenerated images to the players, typically some sort of map. The image can be hidden from the players and revealed in pieces by the referee. I also plan on adding a shared whiteboard feature for creating on the fly images.
I have done some preliminary investigation and it seems that Java is one of the obvious choices. The socket programming seems to be straight forward and allow you to create a similar client/server application. Swing covers building the GUI. What I am not clear on is the graphics capability of Java. Director has a fairly powerful graphics engine allowing you to work with 32 bit graphics (alpha channels) and pixel manipulation.
It seems like Java can do all this, but I want to make sure before I invest to much time. You can see screen shots of my game at http://www.v-fort.org. It's definetly not a polished product. There are many of these types of programs already.I just do it because I enjoy programming (and gaming too). I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version?

Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version or do I have to get the Photoshop CS6 Extended normal (commercial) version? I want to make a game and I'll use things created in Photoshop, like images. And I'll sell this game, so I'll get money with it: it's something commercial. Do I have to get the commercial version for that or can I use a Student's one?
And can I make what I need to do in a trial version and then pay the license before selling the game or it's obligatory to have the license since the beggining?
See you!

You can start work on your game from the moment you download and complete the installation of the Trial version.
No-one will be standing over you watching what you do or monitoring you remotely or noting when you pay for the software.
You can buy the software at any time during the Trial period. However, after a maximum 30 days of using the Trial, you will have to pay to keep using the software.
Other than that, do what you like with the Trial.
(If you somehow finish the game after 20 days of using the Trial then you can start selling the game even if you have not yet purchased the software.)

I-tunes keeps saying that my card can't be used for payments in the uk.

After been away from I-tunes for over a year now, I have returned and attemptted to purchase music. I-tunes asked me to confirm my payment details but keeps stating that my card can't be used for payment in the uk. I've carefully checked the details several times, and use the card regularly on other sites. Thanks oin advance for the help.

This is probably a dumb question on my part, but you are in the UK iTunes Store and using a credit card issued by a UK bank with a UK billing address, yes? If not, tell us what country you're in and what country your card is from and billed to, and someone can probably steer you in the right direction or at least provide an explanation.

HT4718 My copy of Lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation, what can i do?

when I launch Lion Recovery and try to reinstall the OS, there is a message that says that my copy of lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation. what can I do?

Sorry but that makes no sense.
The Lion install files are not stored on your computer so they can't be damaged. When using the Lion Recovery HD and you want to Re-Install Lion the install files are downloaded from the internet before the actual install begins.
If at one time you saved the Lion install files, secifically the InstallESD.DMG, and created your own Lion Install USB thumb drive and that is what you are booting from then this same type of thing has happened to me.
If you can't boot to the current Lion install, or you wiped your hard drive, you can try booting to the included Recovery HD and then download and install Lion or try the Online Internet Recovery HD system by holding down the Command+r keys OR the Command+Option+r keys when starting the system. One of those keyboard combos will take you to the online Lion Recovery system where you can download and install Lion.

Photoshop cs2 student version, can it be used for commercial use?

Some years ago I bought an Adobe Photoshop cs2 student version. Can it be used for commercial use now?

Hi Bob,
Another guy posted on the thread:
"Yes, if you are in the United States. Maybe in other countries."
So if I am from Denmark, does the "Yes" still apply?

I can't download payed for games but I can download music and update things why?

I can't download payed for games I want but I can download payed for music and up date stuff how do I fix it?

These are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. But as Niel says it's unlikely to happen as to doesn't have the ram or processor to support iOS 6.
Have you checked to see if the developers of the Netflix app have an older compatible version of their app in your country's app store ? Try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history, and then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.

If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well?

If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well? or viceversa..? If yes, can I retrieve the same app when I purchase a new iphone (ofcourse I maintain the same app id) free of cost?

Some can, some cannot. Most iPhone apps can be used on an iPad (though not all), but the reverse is true less often. Check the specifications and system requirements for the app you're interested in. You can easily add the app, presuming it's compatible, of course, to any new iPhone without additional charge either by synching it from iTunes or by downloading the app again from the iTunes Store.

I found the above link helpful! Apparently the @me.com is a separate "apple id" ...pretty stupid - the whole reason I got the @me.com e-mail is I thought I would streamline everything into one....

DataTrigger : can it be used for other pl/sql code than before and after?

Hi,
I was wondering whether the <dataTrigger ...../> can also be used for other PL/SQL code than just using it for the beforeReport, afterReport and stuf.
Just now I placed a call to it in the datastructure, as last entry in a group (for headers f.i.), called it AfterHeaderTrigger, and called a function in a package.
It didn't fail, but I dont think it excecuted it though.
So, can you do that?
thanks
Ronny

thanks, that's what I thought.
It's a shame, it would have been so cool.
thanks

Can EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 be used for vendor record modification?

Can EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 be used for update of Vendor master record or just for doing custom checks. I tried a lot to update NAME1 field but it seems its not possible to that.
Has someone done that in past ?
Regards,
Rajesh.

No,You can't update if you use this FM.
I am sure that there is no user exit to update vendor master.
Try with BADI
Thanks
