Create a game , how? what to use?

Hi,
I would like to create a game. The only one what I know is: I want to make (with my wife) and I want to be distributed over internet. I would like to make it free playable and some custom items could be bought from shop.
I am very familiar with java (desktop) programming, I have a 3d project finished in java, my wife could be a designer, artist.
I would like to develop around 2-3, max 6 months, and I would like to earn around 1000-2000 usd / month after a period of stable release. What to do?
I like the mmo games specially the 3D strategy like: [allods online|http://allods.gpotato.com/] . For my wife the best is a pet care game like superpoke .
Today I saw a demo for a 3d java library it was an rpg game ( others was implemented in C or idk what , maybe assembly some parts). This kind of games in my mind it will take at least 6 months development to become basic playable and if anybody would give a donate / buy something, but a real estimate is for 10 developers and 1 year to satisfy somebody(at allods are 100 names at credits and had a budget of 12 mill usd). So here leak of HR, time, money. I am right? Have you other idea?
The pet care games are simpler, but are implemented in Flash. I am wondering if I could find something similar like Flash in Java, JavaFX, or a Swing application launched with webstart? (a jnlp file at web page)
The development with Flash requires a learning time for me, and is important expense the 1000 usd or more for flash development license, which I would invest only if I have no other choice ( better invest this money on marketing, advertising).
The third part of games are web based(php), rich javascript on it, like : gladiatus ,travian what java alternative? simple JSP+struts?
As hardware, I think I meet the requirement for a server at least on the beginning.
What to do, with what technologies?

If you're not just doing this for fun, and you expect to earn money from it, then you shouldn't be worrying about the technologies at this point. The very first thing you should do is look into the distribution model. Are there any services that distribute Java-based games, collect money from players, and distribute the earnings to the developers? If not, you'd have to build all that yourself, and even if it were a perfect system you might find it impossible to find users. Given what you've said (you want to earn relatively modest income from it, and you apparently don't have a huge advertising budget), rolling your own distribution system probably isn't an option.
It's likely that all the technical decisions will be driven by the distribution model. For example, you might find that the best way to create and distribute your game is with XBN (the Microsoft thing; I might have the acronym wrong), and that might require C++ and specific XBN libraries. (I don't know, but you should investigate.)
There may be sites out there (Pogo.com is one, I think) that will distribute a Java-based game, but I have no idea what their terms are. You should investigate and make sure the terms are palatable before you start coding. I suppose you could do a first pass in Java right away, and then if the distribution model you choose doesn't use Java, you could re-write the code in whatever language you have to use for the distribution system; that would mean you're working with prototypes which is fine but you should be aware of this when you're going in.
Keep in mind that Facebook games are really hot right now; that might affect what you want to create, and whether people want to distribute what you create.

How-what to use to inport??

I don't know if this is the right place here to ask that question, but I don't know another place with so many pros using Aperture. We use 32 GB UDMA6 CF cards. Some times when we decide to shoot in JPEG there are 6000 pictures on them( card is than 2/3 full). We use now Lexar FW 400 readers to import directly into Aperture 2. But On the road that is frustrating, because it takes sometimes almost 3 hours to import a single card. Any idea how to speed things up?

Hi,
i would also like to add that the Cards them selves make a huge difference.
For example to marked "pro" "HD" or " high speed" from makes such as SanDisc, have a VERY much faster read/write time to the cards.
The higher price id definatly worth the extra!
**also PLEASE be careful not to buy Fake Cards **
these are freely sold on 'you know where bay.com'
The innards are variable, often not the GBsize printed, and will have cheaper chip sets that are; Unreliable (will loose all your data) and often a BIG Clue is that they are VERY S-L-O-W...
Always use a 'quality' branded card reader too; such as SandDisc/ Sony etc.
these WILL be faster, and again cheaper /fake card readers are slow, and often can not cope with the higher storage capacity of modern storage cards (ie they wont work at all on cards over say 32GB for example)

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

HT4314 How to create several game center accounts using one apple id?

I have both ipad and iphone. How can i play with my wife/son via game center?

varjack: I guess we're just talking about semantics at this point. What I was saying is: you absolutely can have multiple accounts in Game Center and still use the same Apple ID to sign in / make purchases across multiple devices - which I think was what the OP was asking. I would call them "Game Center accounts" instead of Apple IDs because you never actually log into your device using those accounts - only Game Center. What you are saying is that they are also Apple IDs. Either way, the terminology is confusing.
Suffice to say: the OP can have multiple accounts through Game Center - one for each device - but still keep the "main" Apple ID for making purchases and sharing apps across both devices. To do this, make a new account in Game Center for the second device.
Luisno9: If you're asking is it possible to merge the data from the two accounts, my guess is no. If you're asking how to log in using only one account excusively, you could try deleting the second account (if that's possible - I haven't tried), although I'm sure you'd lose your place in the game. Finally, if nothing else works I'd suggest only opening your apps using the same method each time to avoid the problem. Sorry that's not more help!

HOw to create a Batch file for java application and whats the use of this ?

HI,
How to create a Batch file for java application ?
And whats the use of creating batch file ?
Thanks in advance

First of all, you're OT.
Second, you can find this everywhere in the net.
If you got a manifest declaring main class (an classpath if needed), just create a file named whatever.bat, within same directory of jar file, containing:
javaw -jar ./WhateverTheNameOfYourJarIs.jar %*By the way, assuming a Windows OS, you can just double click the jar file (no batch is needed).
Otherwise use:
javaw -cp listOfJarsAndDirectoriesSeparedBySemiColon country/company/application/package/className %*Where 'country/company/application/package/' just stands for a package path using '/' as separator instead of '.'
Don't specify the .class extension.
Javaw only works on Windows (you asked for batch, I assumed .BAT, no .sh), in Linux please use java.exe (path may be needed, Windows doesn't need it 'cause java's executables are copied to system32 folder in order to be always available, see PATH environment variable if you don't know what I'm talking about) and use ':' as classpath (cp) separator.
The '%***' tail is there in order to pass all parameters, it only works on Windows, refer to your shell docs for other OSs (something like $* may work).
This way you have a command you can call to launch your code (instead of opening NetBeans just to see your app working). You could schedule tasks on it or just call it in any command prompt (hope you know what it is 'cause there have been people in this very same forum with no clue about it, if not just hold the 'Windows button' and press 'R', then type 'cmd' and run it).
Finally add dukes and give 'hem away.
Bye.

What to use when making a game?

Hi,
I'm new to JAVA gaming but I was looking to making a bomberman like game in JAVA. I've been searching the web for ways to start programming this game, but there are so many different ways that I'm confused, what to use.
I want to create a client/server system with simpel 2D graphics.
Should I use sockets or TCP or UDP, or something else for the networking? And does anybody have any idea how fast it can be?
Furthermore what shoudl I use for the graphics. Just basic JAVA or JAVA 2D or something else? Is there a way to use hardware? Does using JAVA 2D mean the users needs to download this before he/she can play?
Is Webstart any good, so users can instanly download everyhting the game needs?
Maybe you guys can point me to some helpfull information on the net?
Or maybe some examples to start with.
Hope you can help and thanks in advance?

I am not an expert at Networking, never tried it
really, just read a lot of books about it; and
apparently you need UDP as the protocol checks whether
the packet has arrived or not.Erm, no - UDP is fast because it doesn't check. TCP is slow(er) but consistent.
As for speed, in 1.4.1 its GOOD. For an applet
ofcourse (don't know about applications). However, you
do need a decient hardware to run.Did you mean that the other way round? Apps are pretty much always faster than applets.
To the point - look at the java AWT / java2d tutorials, and use google

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

How Do You Use XML To Create Image Upload On A WebSite?

Hello,
Could some one please help me understand how to create web image gallery and web video gallery using XML? I have found few xml codes that could be used to do this but I am not so sure how to use them. I want my clients to be able upload images and videos with linking thumbnails to Image and or Videos. Do you think the codes I included in this question will help me achive this goal? And do I need to put all in one and in the same directory so it will work? Please help with your idea and tell me how you would use these codes and how you may step-by-step implement the idea your self to your own web site.
I have also included the instruction I found on the web with the codes.
Starting with You Tube, API on their video gallery, here are the codes I found,
Assume you are to use the YouTube, XML code; What will you change here so it will work on your own www.domain.com?
<% Dim xml, xhr, ns, YouTubeID, TrimmedID, GetJpeg, GetJpeg2, GetJpeg3, thumbnailUrl, xmlList, nodeList, TrimmedThumbnailUrl Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
xml.async = False
xml.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
xml.Load("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Shuggy23/favorites?orderby=updated") If xml.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
    Response.Write xml.parseError.reason End If Set xmlList = xml.getElementsByTagName("entry") Set nodeList = xml.SelectNodes("//media:thumbnail") For Each xmlItem In xmlList
    YouTubeID = xmlItem.getElementsByTagName("id")(0).Text
    TrimmedID = Replace(YouTubeID, "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/", "")
    For Each xmlItem2 In nodeList
        thumbnailUrl = xmlItem2.getAttribute("url")
        Response.Write thumbnailUrl & "<br />"
    Next     Next
%>
For the image gallery, the following are the codes I found with your experience do I need to use the entire codes or just some of them that I should use?
CODE #01Converting Database queries to XML
Using XML as data sources presumes the existence of XML. Often, it is easier to have the server create the XML from a database on the fly. Below are some scripts for common server models that do such a thing.
These are starting points. They will need to be customized for your particular scenario.
All these scripts will export the data from a database table with this structure:
ID: integer, primary key, autoincrement
AlbumName: text(255)
ImagePath: text(255)
ImageDescription: text(2000)
UploadDate: datetime
The output of the manual scripts will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<images>
     <image>
          <ID>1</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Family ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /family/us.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-20 10:20:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
     <image>
          <ID>2</ID>
          <album><![CDATA[ Work ]]></album>
          <path><![CDATA[ /work/coleagues.jpg ]]></path>
          <description><![CDATA[ here goes the description ]]></description>
          <date><![CDATA[ 2006-11-21 12:34:00 ]]></date>
     </image>
</images>
These are all wrapped in CDATA because it is will work with all data types. They can be removed if you know you don't want them.
Note: If using the column auto-generating versions, ensure that all the column types are text. Some databases have data type options like 'binary', that can't be converted to text. This will cause the script to fail.

OK, I understand - thanks for that.
I thought the whole process was supposed to be a bit more seemless? Having to upload/download documents and manually keep them in sync will leave a lot of room for errors.
It's kinda painful the way iOS doesn't have folders. It makes things incompatible with the Mac and means you can't group files from multiple apps into a single project - who organises their digital life by the apps they use?
I think I'll recommend they use their iPad only.
Thanks for that.
Cheers

How can my wife and I be friends in game center if we use the same Itunes account?

How can my wife and I be friends in game center if we use the same Itunes account?

You can set up multiple accounts in Game Centre, sign out and create new account. You just need a different email address from any existing Apple ID's and a new password. You can still use the old account for purchases.

SmartSound - What Is It & How Do I Use It?

For some time, there has been discussion on the use of SmartSound® with various versions of Adobe Premiere®. Often, there is a bit of confusion, as to what SmartSound is and how best to use it. I hope to provide some information on both the programs as well as the "Series," that make up SmartSound music.
First, here is some background. SmartSound’s programs come in basically three "flavors" now. First, there is QuickTracks for Premiere®. This is a plug-in for PrPro/PrE. It works from within the NLE program itself. Then, there are two versions of Sonicfire Pro®, which is a stand-alone program that is similar to QuickTracks, but offers so very much more in the way of power with the Strata Series® (and other Multi-track music) Series. One of these is the ExpressTracks® version, which is free with the purchase of any Strata Series disc., and the other is the full Scoring Edition®, which can be purchased separately, or upgraded free, if one has a registered copy of Sonicfire Pro 4 with S/N. While the basic function of the programs is similar, the mechanics can differ, as well as the final output.
Second, there is the music. It is grouped into several Series. All can only be used in the SmartSound software. The SmartSound® Music library is a very creative and flexible collection of royalty-free* music. It's the only music that gives video editors access to perfectly edited music from any SmartSound software or embedded technology.
Looking at it from one side, the Series are grouped by style, theme and mood. On the other side, they are grouped by the type of discs. At a basic level, there are three types of these discs:
Single Layer tracks: no Mood Mapping capability, however there are 22KHz, 44KHz and 48KHz single layer tracks (the Classical Suite albums are single layer 48KHz. Note that single-layer music cannot be used with Mood Mapping.
Multilayer tracks: all multilayer tracks have Mood Mapping, and there are only 44KHz and 48KHz multilayer tracks.
Some of the recent releases of the Strata Series discs, only contain the 48KHz versions Remember, only the 48KHz can contain Mood Mapping, and can only be used with Sonicfire Pro. For the QuickTracks plug-in, one would use the 44KHz version, and of course there is no Mood Mapping in QuickTracks.
All of the various Series also contain several variations on each "cut." The vast majority are original creations and the few that are "public domain" are original performances.
Generally, the price of the music Series goes up with both the quality (sample-rate) and with the multi-layer aspect. Still, "sales" do happen from time to time.
Ignoring the Mood Mapping feature for a moment, I’d like to talk about what SmartSound and Sonicfire Pro do, when used with the SmartSound music Series. These programs and this music will allow one to exactly tailor their soundtrack, and far beyond what one can do using loopology. The intros and outros can be specified. If you know the exact Duration of your Video, you can tailor your resulting score to that Duration.
With Sonicfire Pro, and a Strata Series multi-layer disc, one can tailor much more, than just the Duration of the music. This is where Mood Mapping comes in. With Mood Mapping there is almost unlimited control on what the same piece of music can sound like. Within the Mood Mapping control panel, one can use many Presets, but can also control virtually every aspect of the music. Imagine being able to take a full orchestral version of a piece of music, and then separating out just the violins, or just the brass section. Both versions of Sonicfire Pro can utilize Mood Mapping, but there are limitations on the ExpressTracks version, and even more power in the Scoring Edition, including Timing Control.
Now remember that I mentioned that QuickTracks for Premiere was a plug-in and that both versions of Sonicfire Pro are stand-alone applications. How does this affect how one uses them? Because of the plug-in nature, QuickTracks is launched from within Premiere via the New icon and SmartSound from the drop-down menu. This brings up the QuickTracks interface, where one can tailor the Duration, and the variation, of the piece, but also contains a link to a browser. In this browser, one can sort by various criteria, plus are also allowed a text Search function to use the notes with each music cut. There are also filters to limit ones view to criteria, such as Music on My Computer, Music Owned by Me, Music On SmartSound’s Web site and All.
As Sonicfire Pro is a stand-alone, one would first Export a "reference" AV file, to use when scoring. One day, I would love to see Sonicfire Pro as a plug-in for Premiere, so that this one step would not be necessary. The next best thing would be for Adobe to do a Dynamic Link to Sonicfire Pro. There is no need for any reference file with QuickTracks, as one is working in the Sequence’s Timeline.
When the purchased Series have been installed on one’s computer, it will contain a preview, regardless of whether the actual sound files are copied to that computer. One can work from the copied music files, or from the DVD discs. [Note: because of the limitation on QuickTracks to just the 22KHz and 44KHz music, installations usually do not have to be done separately, unless the user wants both the multilayer version installed and the single layer versions installed. Any single layer albums will only need to be installed once (with the exception of Classical Suites, since they have 48KHz and 44KHz, but if installed in Quicktracks first, the 44KHz versions will be available in Sonicfire Pro.)] Personally, I copy the DVD’s to my HDD’s, for quick and easy access. However, that is not necessary, if one does not mind placing the DVD into a drive.
If one does not wish to purchase one of the discs, the full library, they can still listen to the cuts, via the preview, and can purchase much of the music, by the cut, directly from SmartSound for download. This can allow one to use just the right cut, without having to invest in the full Library.
One of the real advantages to registering one’s SmartSound, besides notification of updates, is the notifications of the "sales." These usually offer select Series at greatly reduced rates. I find the "regular" prices to be in line with what one gets, but a sale makes it even better. My biggest problem has been that I now own most of the Series, and the ones that I do not own are ones that I will likely not use. It’s getting more difficult to take advantage of these sales, no matter how low the price has dropped - I already own it.
Last, SmartSound also has several Series of SFX too.
* Excludes public performance as part of a film released through major theatrical distribution or broadcast on national television. See our Professional Music End User License for details regarding these uses.
Note:
SmartSound, QuickTracks, Sonicfire Pro, ExpressTracks, Mood Mapping and Scoring Edition are all registered property of SmartSound Software, Inc.
Adobe Premiere is a registered property of Adobe Software, Inc.
SmartSound's Web site

Addendum: later versions of Premiere Elements now have the SmartSound Sonicfire Pro Express Tracks version (not the Scoring Edition) included, rather than the older QuickTracks module. This allows one to use the newer SmartSound Multi-Track discs, where the older QuickTracks module will only work with some of the older Multi-Track discs. The version of SmartSound Sonicfire Pro Express Tracks included is limited, vs the Scoring Edition (available for purchase), but allows for a lot of editing of SmartSound material. The installation is separate from the installation of the Premiere Elements installation, and involves a download of the Sonicfire Pro Express Tracks installer. It is also necessary to then apply the update to the Sonicfire Pro Express Tracks program.
I feel, however, that the Sonicfire Pro Scoring Edition, when used with the Multi-Track discs, is so very useful, that I recommend anyone, who is serious about creating custom soundtracks for their Videos, look closely at it, and also that they see the SmartSound tutorials (on the SmartSound Web site), to discover the power that it provides - it is like having a million variations for each Multi-Track song.

My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

my friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.

After complete reset of iPod after lockout, I cannot retrieve old gamecenter ID. how can I use my old account for gamecenter now that we have had to create a new username?

We had to create a new username for gamecenter using the same apple ID. We want to use the old gamecenter account....we have purchased in-app items for those games and now have no access to that account. How can I fix this? Or am I just out of luck and start over with the new username.....

You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
To recovery use of that account:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.

How can I use my array in another method.... Or better yet, what's wrong?

I guess I'll show you what I am trying to do rather and then explain it
public class arraycalc
int[] dog;
public void arraycalc()
dog = new int[2];
public void setSize(int size)
dog[1] = size;
public int getSize()
return dog[1];
This gives me a null pointer exception...
How can I use my array from other methods?

You have to make the array static. :)
Although I must admit, this is rather bad usage. What you want to do is use an object constructor to make this class an object type, and then create the array in your main class using this type, and then call the methods from this class to modify your array. Creating the array inside the other method leads to a whole bunch of other stuff that's ... well, bad. :)
Another thing: Because you're creating your array inside this class and you want to call your array from another class, you need to make the array static; to make it static, you must make your methods static. And according to my most ingenious computer science teacher, STATIC METHODS SUCK. :D
So, if you want to stick with your layout, it would look like:
public class arraycalc
     static int[] dog;
     public static void arraycalc()
          dog = new int[2];
     public static void setSize(int size)
          dog[1] = size;
     public static int getSize()
          return dog[1];
}But I must warn you, that is absolutely horrible code, and you shouldn't use it. In fact, I don't even know why I posted it.
You should definitely read up on OOP, as this problem would be better solved by creating a new object type.

Create a game , how? what to use?
