Desktop multiplayer ping-pong game
Hello all,
I've come here to seek advice related to my university project. I am almost a complete newbie at Java - during the past years I've only done programming in C, C++, Symbian and PHP. I remember doing a project in Java on the first year, but now I don't remeber anything.
Let's get to the point. I think I won't have problems with the language itself and the structure of the application. Yet, I would be very grateful if you could guide me to the resources/libraries/classes I should use in my project.
It will be a multiplayer network ping-pong game in a frame window, with a game frame, some menubar and a chat below the game frame. My question is: what class should I use to create a window for the whole application? What class for the game screen, where it will be neccesary to paint a ball jumping here and there and two rackets? What classes would you recommend for handling the network communication between two instances of the application? Any other suggestions would also be welcome. I have less than three weeks to implement this game:)
Thanks in advance.

I guess you haven't taken the google class yet...

Ello,
Im Trying to write a simple ping pong game in a java netbeans.
the problem is that i got the ball to move but it doesnt seem to move around the screen just in the same direction. heres the code:

You whined the same thing in the other thread when people asked for code tags. You have also got lots of actual advice and suggestions in your other thread and ignore them all.
Crossposting is rude but I suppose we should not expect any better from you because so far all you have demonstrated on this site is that you are rude, incredibly stupid and lazy. -
Part II - Playing Ping-Pong ... now with KaLin?
Just call me flummoxed ...
I went to my "profile page for the forum" by clicking on my name. (So far so good)
I looked "at the top of the middle column," (Puzzled, I search for KaLin's promised support.)
THERE IS NOTHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING "an area titled "My Private Support Cases," nor any selection that leads to "My Private Support Cases."
THERE IS NO LINK to "the private board where you and the agent may exchange information."
And thus, it seems like the ping-pong game continues ...
I used to wonder why nobody responded to their original posts with updates. It appears that moderators prevent this from happening.
Eager for assistance, I remain yours sincerely,

Trying to make a Ping Pong Ball generate in random location
Hey guys and Gals,
im trying to make a pingpong ball, well 2 of them spawn in random locations so that it makes the game a little harder as of right now the ping pong balls spawn right next to each other and untill score 5-6 there right next to each otherI disagree with Caillen. If somebody is trying to learn a programming language writing a game is an excellent way of learning. In the constructor to the form (or form load function ) you can change the X,Y location of the ball(s). You also want
to make sure the two balls don't overlap. To make the programming simpler I would start the two balls at the same Y coordinate (or X).
See code below. I used a little clever programming to prevent the two ball from overlapping. The code assumes the left side of the panel x = 0. If it is not zero then add the X of the left side of the panel to the results.
int widthPanel = 10;
int diameterBall = 2;
Random rand = new Random();
int ball1X = rand.Next(diameterBall / 2, widthPanel - (diameterBall / 2));
//now get a random number that is space not taken up by ball one
int ran2 = rand(0, widthPanel - diameterBall);
int ball1Left = ballX - (diameterBall / 2);
int ball2X = 0;
if(rand2 <= ball1X)
ball2X = rand2;
else
int ball1Right = ballX + (diameterBall / 2);
ran2 -= ball1Left;
ball2X = ball1Right + ran2;

Why is my pong game not working?
I made a kinda nice pong game in which two players can play over the internet...or that's the idea.
I made a very simple UDP client and server, they both work very well in localhost and with computers hooked up with in a LAN.
Then I went to whatismyip.com to find out what is my IP, I started my server on that machine and when I tried using the client on my other computer my server didn't receive anything.
I'm fairly sure the IP is correct since it pinged for <1ms.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks.Firewall!

Motion Tracking Ping pong ball
I'm superimposing a ping pong ball into live footage of a match but with the actions acting the hitting.
What do people think is the best way to do this?
I was thinking maybe its best to put the 'ball' under a null, motion track the null and animate the ball underneath for scaling and position.
Maybe motion tracking isn't an option and I should just animate the ball movements?
Has anyone done this or may have any possible suggestions?
Thanks!
SGMake your life easy, hand-animate it. Pingpong is a fast game, resulting in lots of motionblurred elements and it will be a nightmare to track. You'll waste a lot of time on fixing a poor track that you could have spent refining your animation to begin with....

Creating a Pong game in AS3 using a tutorial
Hi,
I'm a beginner using AS3 and found a great tutorial on how to create a Pong game: http://www.foundation-flash.com/tutorials/pong4/. There's a link to the source code: http://www.foundation-flash.com/source/viewer.php?file=pong4.txt.
When I add the source code to a new AS file (using Flash CS 5.5), save it as "Main.as", create a new Fla and link it in the actionscript settings to the Main.as and run it, I get errors:
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\P4\Main.as, Line 117
1093: Syntax error.
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\P4\Main.as, Line 117
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before 270.
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\P4\Main.as, Line 121
1093: Syntax error.
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\P4\Main.as, Line 121
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before 270.
Here's the section of code being referred to in the error message:
116 public function resetHandler(e:Event){
117 if(ball.x < (0 – 270)){
scoreText2.text = String(Number(scoreText2.text ) + 1)
reset();
121 if(ball.x > (550 – 270)){
scoreText1.text = String(Number(scoreText1.text ) + 1)
reset();
I must be doing something wrong? Is there some way to get this code and Pong game sample running ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
saratogacoachAs Raymond said, its an issue with the 'dashes' in your if statements; they need to be minus signs, its just the wrong character.
On a related note..why are you (the tutorial?) doing basic equations in a conditional statement? 0 – 270 and 550 – 270 are always going to be the same value...why compute it on every check? -
i want to create a ping-pong online game as applet and i have a few problems:
the game contains 4 classes:
user pedal
computer pedal
ball
boardgame
do i have to use 4 applet(1 applet to every class)?
or to use one applet that contains 4 panels?
did every class contain the paint metode?The way i will do it is: 1 Applet, 4 classes that extends Component each have a paint method.

Hi guys, I'd firstly like to apologise if I've posted in the wrong forum - as you've moved probably guessed, I'm new round "there here parts"! :P
I recently started attempting some basic java graphics in a swing. So far, everything is working but I have the following questions:
1) How do I stop the graphics flickering? - I know it's due to the thread refresh rate in the continuous loop, but can I stop the flickers?
2) How do I add a JPanel ABOVE the canvas in which I can add buttons to restart the game? - I assume it would involve a GridBagLayout which I'm unfamiliar with, so your assistance would be appreciated. Note: I'll only need assistance in adding the JPanel above the canvas, I can do the rest! :)
My current code is shown below - please don't complain about imperfections, as it's just a development:

}Constructive criticism is welcomed, but major edits which I'm not likely to understand as of yet are not.
Many thanks for your assistance, it's appreciated.

Hi guys, I'd firstly like to apologise if I've posted in the wrong forum - as you've moved probably guessed, I'm new round "there here parts"! :PWelcome, and not to worry -- this is the correct forum for your question.
I recently started attempting some basic java graphics in a swing. So far, everything is working but I have the following questions:
1) How do I stop the graphics flickering? - I know it's due to the thread refresh rate in the continuous loop, but can I stop the flickers?
2) How do I add a JPanel ABOVE the canvas in which I can add buttons to restart the game? - I assume it would involve a GridBagLayout which I'm unfamiliar with, so I think that you're main problem is that you're trying to mix AWT components (i.e., Canvas) and Swing components (everything else) in one program. In addition, you need to update your game loop and graphics to be in line with Swing best practices. So, get rid of Canvas, read up in the tutorials on how to do graphics in Swing (using paintComponent override for instance) and use a Swing Timer for your Game loop and you'll be half way there. Best of luck! -

I changed the passcode needed to open my phone, when I try to do a restore on this phone, it is asking for a passcode and not accepting the one I changed it to
There are several different passcodes associated with any iOS device:
The screen unlock passcode. This is normally a 4 digit code (although there is an option to make it longer).
Your iCloud passcode. This controls Find my iPhone and Activation Lock, the theft deterrent measure that prevents a stolen or lost phone from being used. This will be prompted for if Find my iPhone is enabled when you restore the phone.
Possibly the passcode to unlock an encrypted backup, as @Drew Reece pointed out. -
What do i need for a classic pong game with real-life interface/ speedy-33?
Lo guys, i'm a student, for my academic project i was kinda hoping to do a classic pong game with LabVIEW... 2 Palettes, a ball... except the goal is to involve the "outside world in this poject". So i was thinking of moving the palletes when a player's finger is moved (i guess i need a sensor, was thinking of placing a bright color on each finger so as to be detected). Note that i would be using speedy-33
please guys i am very new to labview, and i need a project, i got one but i still dunno how to produce it... Thank you all
Best regards.
T. A.This should give you a good start. We did this as a wait window when we were updating software. It is old code so I do not want any comments on the coding style. It was done in fun and has not been updated in almost ten years.
You will have to update the controls to work from a control vs automatically. Have fun let me know how this turns out.

I'm new to Motion, I want to make my a segment of my clip play play backwards play ... ect... but when I use the ping- pong effect which seems like the one to use my audio gets messed up.
Is there a 'snap to audio' function .. so at the end of the loop I can get the rest of the audio for the clip.i tried that but when take the clip and add ping pong ... and then extend the clip to get the rest of the video, the audio doesn't extend as well / auto loop

Yes! Someone described it!
I've upgraded to an iMac G5, and am passing my 600mHz Graphite onto someone else. When the Graphite was in my ownership, every time I started up, I heard one or two ping pong balls type sound, and everything started up hunky dory.
At the time, my HD was partitioned into 3 (15/15/10) with Panther on one and OS9 on another.
Now, I'm trying to get everything set up all virginal like for the hand-over.
Originally repartioned the HD into 2 (36/4) and reinstalled OSX on the larger, OS9 on the smaller. Transferred a lot of stuff from an old Rev B 233 iMac into the smaller partition for later use. Did Software updates and started hearing really strange sounds - like a constant arcing (though it didn't quite sound electrical).
Have repartitioned again the HD - 1 piece only. Now I'm hearing a LOT of the pingpong ball sound and startup and other operations sometimes are painfully slow (even shutdown). Have zapped PRAM (helped a little, it seems), but not perfectly. Is the HD on the way out?www.iamnotamerican.com...
Every HD that I have heard that from has died, however partitioning may have a different effect.
I have an IBM HD that once was partitioned for use in my iMac years ago. It was a 5400 drive that would spinup and "yaw" (like a donkey noise) for each partition at boot. I soon replaced it however it is still alive for use in a USB enclosure for backup purposes.
So it may be on the way out OR in the process of booting it is going through the mounting of each partition to complete the boot. I would start backing up and be prepared for the worse should it later go sour.
