G5 rev b game help
hey my rev b g5 1g ram isn't playing some games the way it's meant to. for example, sims 2 is slow, but halo is running fine.
does anyone else have the same problem with the sims 2?
edit: its the 17 inch 1.8 ghrz
2nd edit: is it possible to update the graphics card on a mac?
Hiya - I had the same problem with The Sims 2 (even after installing the update)
It's simply too slow on the iMac G5. As is Tiger Woods '05, which is just about playable with all the minimum settings.
Both went back to the store today.
As with most games if they are ports from PC, it is unlikely that you will get good performance on a G5 iMac. I'm not sure how apple can justify their comments that such games will work even on an iBook - though I guess they say such titles will 'run', which they will, but they won't provide a decent gaming experience..
World of Warcraft however, works beautifully (even on the iBook), as it was coded specifically for the Mac as well as PC.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create a memory card game although I can't figure out where I am going wrong!! Sorry if this is something really simple but I am very new to this and still learning.
The cards are coming up as a 'matching' pair even when they are different. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! :-)

Hi guys,
I have to create the good old game of snake which can be found on mobile phones.
I have 9 main tasks to complete, and am inexperienced with Java so would love any feedback!
Have to first write table cells to fill out the general area for the game, I think this will be fairly easy, using the document.write method inside a for loop. I then have to add keyboard controls to move the pixel around the area.
The next stage is to move the pixel automatically in one direction, I think the window.setTimeout method can be used here, not too sure how to implement it though. When it reaches the boundary, the pixel must be stopped. These 2 stages then have to be combined so that the pixel moves automatically until it either changes direction through a click of an arrow key of it hits the boundary. Next is to add a popup notifying that the snake has hit the boundary and stop the timeout. Then the snake has to grow each time it comes in contact with a single fixed pixel which moves everytime it comes in contact.
Those are the main stages I have to complete, any help would be greatly appreciated, code, links to examples, anything like that,
Thanks everyone!yeah.. java is much different than javascript. but I was seriously bored, so I took 45mins and coded a snake script that kinda.. plays by itself. I didnt code it according to your instructions cuz.. I dont code people's homework :\. anyway it should give you a big boost:

I downloaded Bejeweled for my iPod using my mom's account (which is verified on my computer) and it says I'm not authorized to play the game, yet I can still listen to music downloaded from her account. Any idea how to fix this? Any help would be great, thanks!
deauthorise your pc and reauthorise it will be fine after

this is my current code it works ok, but i need a bit of help with when they get it right, and I have to start converting it to graphical in Borland Jbuilder.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Numb{
public static void main (String [] args){
//Game State
int magicNumb = Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % 100) + 1;
//Output instructions
System.out.println("I Feel Numb!");
System.out.print("Do you feel Loved? Y/N");
//Read from input
InputStreamReader inStream = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader keyboard = new BufferedReader(inStream);
String line = null;
try{

}catch(IOException ioe){}
boolean acrobat = true;
//If they pressed y let them play
if(line.equalsIgnoreCase("y")){
//Game stuff goes here
System.out.println("Don't Expect Suggest a NUMBer between 1 and 100");
System.out.print("Enter a guess:");
//LOOP
while (acrobat=true){
//Read user input
{try{
line=keyboard.readLine();
}catch(IOException ioe){}
//Convert the inpt to an int value
int guess = (int)Integer.parseInt(line);
//If Right
if (guess==magicNumb)
System.out.println("Green Light Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigaretes");
acrobat=false;
//If too High
if (guess>magicNumb)
System.out.println("Too Much is Not Enough");
//If too Low
if (guess<magicNumb)
System.out.println("Gimme Some more, Gimme some more");}
}Ok what i need help with is when they get the
integer, i need to either state another message and
quit, or give them the option to play again?Okay, so, your overall code structure will look something like this: do {
play();
again = askIfPlayAgain();
} while again;
void play() {
do {
ask for a guess
give answer
} while (incorrect);
} You don't have to use do/while. Plain old while will work.
The main points are:
1) You need two loops. The inner one keeps going within one round until they guess correctly, and the outer one keeps starting new rounds until they quit.
2) You should break the problem down into smaller, more elemental pieces, rather than stuffing everything into one big blob in main.
#1 will help you solve this problem, but #2 is an absolutely essential skill to learn. -
Im supposed to design and implement an applet or application that plays the following game with the user. Draw a shape or an image on the screen and invite the user to click on it. Every time the user clicks on it, move the shape to an new random location..... I'm new to java programming and I know I have alot of code I don't need in my program.. Please help and weed out my errors! Thank you.

Connect 4 game ( help please )
please compile this game to see the output
but my problem is :
when you press the button of player one the ball appear but when you move it by mouse, it should move in the the range of the net only but it move in all screen
why ??
the code responsible about this :

repaint();
if (ball2) {
oval2_x = e.getX();

}thanks for your help in advanceA couple of recommendations, tempered by the fact that I'm not a graphics wiz:
1) Many of your fields in the CreateImage class that are declared public static should in fact be private and not be declared static. These include oval1_x and oval1_y, and ball1 and ball2. The squareSize, line_x and line_y should probably be declared as constants (static final).
2) Consider drawing your grid with your BufferedImage's graphics object and thus creating it outside of the paintComponent method and only having to create it once.
3) In your mouseMoved method, I see where you change the ball's x position, but where do you change its y position?
4) Your {if (ball2)" block is nested within the "if (ball1)" block. Are you really sure that you want to do this? My guess is no.
5) Your play one / two actionlisteners should be instance methods, not static methods.
Now for some bigger problems:
6) As written, your CreateImage class will only draw one ball, that's it. You likely need a "Ball" class that encapsulates the Ball graphics, and have the CreateImage class hold an ArrayList of these animals.
7) I see no code that expresses the game logic, that encapsulates a non-GUI grid, that makes sure that balls are placed in a logical location within the non-GUI grid, that checks for win / loss, and that eventually ties the non-GUI grid and balls with their GUI equivalents. It's all GUI without logic. If I were doing this, I'd do the logic part first, then drape the GUI over the logic code.
Good luck -

Dear Sir's,
I have the game DMO for my pc, from the Joymax.com website. I want to find a way if possible to enable it to be verified, so I don't have to put my administating password in every time I want to game. I have other games like Supreme
Commander, Zero Online, AOE 3, etc. They all start right away. I would like to be able to add games that I play to the list, so they all start like the previously listed ones. Thanks for your help, and hope to here from you soon.
Sincerely,
RobertHi Robert,
Please contact the Support team for joymax.com, or post to their forum.
This question is unrelated to System Center App Controller.
Thanks

}From what I can tell in the directions provided, what it has to do is display a list of the cards, both sorted and unsorted (in order of face value). I think it will be interesting (to my limited exposure), so, as said, any help with any of the classes would be appreciated. Thank you!Here's some old code - a game of Pontoon (aka BlackJack, 21 etc)

Latelly I have been working on many 3d games such as a rubiks cube and 3d chess game using a 3d class i made that uses a 2d graphing plane but i wanted to start making some more complex games. I have 3d rotation and other basic tasks working but i was wondering if someone could explain how to make basic movement where objects get bigger as they get closer to a focal point and tasks similar to that. If anyone has any idea of how to do this or info on 3d it would be very helpful to me. I have a setup that somewhat works for this but i can tell it doesnt work that well.

I'm making a dice game in Java. Here is a screenshot:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-1/941114/dice2.JPG
Basicly what you have to do it line up as much as the same amount of dice in the same row. To give you the highest total. The buttons at the bottom work and when you start the program it will calcuate all the figures and results.
However this is the bit I'm stuck on. You have to be able to click on a dice to change it over to try and get more on the total. So far on mine you cna click on a dice and it will change face however the scores will not update and i can't think of a way to get them to update after the dice has changed face. Also we need to limit the amount of dice you can change to six. Here is my code and I hope someone can help

} also we cannot alter the Dice class at all and any help at all and suggestions and I will be very greatful.
Just to be clear using the d.rollDice(); in the Controller class does update the image and shows a different dice face but does not update the scores and i do not know why.You didn't program this did you..either class?
Inside of Dice there isn't any place where you get an update to your Harness class, specifically your number1 .. number 6. You need a number to update this with and good candidate would be faceValue in Dice that can be read through the accessor d.getFaceValue(). -

We're making a game for our Java course and we're thinking of making something like Flash Flash Revolution, only in Java. Is this anywhere near possible? Or should we just make a tile-based game like Spyhunter...?
I'd really appreciate some help or comments. ^^This can 100% definetly be done.
The only real hard part is getting the arrows to perfectly sync up with the BPM of the music. Your going to have to write a routine that can change the scroll speed and timing of the arrows based on varying BPM values.
There are some free programs out there you can download that will give you the BPM of songs you feed it. The non free tools allow you to get a higher and more accurate BPM precision.
Of course if you simple make the game only have 1 song, and you already know the exact BPM, then you can code the initial arrow movement speed for that one song and pretty much the rest of the game is a cake walk to program. -
Now, I'm not sure if this is in the right section..
But I'm working on a videogame, and I'm newish to Flash. I found out that you can import .gifs to the stage, and now what I want to do is make it so you can move it side to side with the arrow keys. And I can do it fine with a single frame, something that doesn't move, but obviously I need the sprites to make a walking motion.
So I went through the steps I'd go through with a non-gif, and it... would move for a bit, but then snap back to the beginning. I can post it if anyone needs it.
Thankyou for your help in advance.make the world objects totally independent of the grid while the bricks be dependent on it. have the world objects in a list with their positions stored in the object itself. When your doing, say, collision checking with bricks, just take their positions and see if the cell it occupies has a brick in it.
personally i won't use a 2d array for a side scrolling game, the level tends to be rather large and a giant 2d array wastes annoying amounts of memory.
