Game Programming Errors

I'm trying to make up a game program for a school progect, and I'm having some troubles with it.
I'm having multiple errors in the following areas: 1. Find symbol contructor/method. 2. Inconvertible types. 3. Jump[] in GameSrc.Player cannot be applied [boolean].

Well thats kinda general... In my opinion java is a great language. Just not for games usually. Also what kind of game? 2d or 3d? I would recommend checking out unity for 3D games. I have used it and it is a great tool for people looking to make 3D games without as much work. Plus it supports execution in a browser like an applet kindof. For 2D i usually use flash as it greatly simplifies the process. If your hearts set on Java start off with this- http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/2D-Java-Platform-Game/10145

  • Warcraft III Program Error

    Hey guys...im new here and i hope someone can help me.
    I installed Warcraft III (Orignal CDs) with Wine with the Tutorial on ArchWiki.
    But everytime i start the game, the normal window Appears which loads the game. And after a few seconds i get the Message:
    Program Error
    The program War3.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    when i start the game in a terminal (tried with and without -opengl) i get this:
    [XNight@myhost Warcraft III]$ wine War3.exe
    err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised

    then i press the Close Window on the window which appeared:

    Thanks for help!
    Some Infos:
    -newest version of Wine
    -Nvidia fx5500 with nvidia-173xx
    It worked perfectly on all ubuntus (I tested 9.04 to 10.10)

    Ubuntu's universe repository for their latest release contains wine 1.2, but Arch's currently has 1.3.6.  Maybe the newer version introduced a regression that affects Warcraft III. Have you tried patching the game to its latest version? Check the wine appdb page for Warcraft III and see if there's anything else that can help. You might also try to install wine 1.2.1—there is at least one PKGBUILD for it  in the AUR.
    I own a copy of the game, but it currently sits in storage elsewhere; if I can grab it, maybe I'll try to install it too.

  • Error:  "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

    Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
    I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
    Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

    I suggest whenever you have problems with third-party applications, the first place to start troubleshooting is with the application's documentation, then vendor's web site. Usually their sites have FAQs, lists of known bugs, or application-specific forums similar to these Discussions. Sometimes, unlike the Apple Discussions, the questions are even answered by employees of the vendor.

  • PhotoShop CS2 "Program Error" when printing

    I am posting this to the Adobe Forums as well, but thought someone here might have some ideas. am having an intermittent problem printing from PhotoShop CS2 to an Epson 9800. When printing large files (200 MB average) to the Epson, PhotoShop will spool the job, taking about 50% longer than normal, and when complete, displays the following message..."The file XXXX.tif could not be printed because of a program error" No job ever gets to the print que. This happens about 80% of the time when printing. Quitting and restarting PhotoShop generally fixes the problem, and the file can be printed from another computer without issue, so this is not file specific. I have 8GB of RAM installed and PhotoShop running under 100% available memory, cache level at 8, with a dedicated 180GB scratch disk. Memory should NOT be the problem, though I do often have the full layered version of the file open in the background (I am printing from a flattened copy. I have observed that the problem is less likely to occur if no other files are open. I have a second G5 with the exact same software setup (OS, Print Driver and PhotoShop down to the decimal version #) that works perfectly every time. I have run all of the System utilities (Repair Permissions, FSCK, etc), reset the OSX printing system, reset PS preferences, trashed and re installed CS, as well as the Epson printer driver, all with no success. Any other trouble shooting ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would love to avoid a System reinstall.

  • Photoshop CS2 not working after 10.6.7 update? program error!

    Could not complete your request because of a program error. I opened an image RGB and wanted to save it as a CMYK.
    Save as and entered new name... thats it! Then the error popped up. The only thing that has changed is the update!
    Please help.

    If you updated to 10.6.7 then you should (go to your Apple menu at the far left and) check for updates.
    There was a problem with some types of Fonts that has been fixed by the Snow Leopard Font update:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377
    However, always wait after an OS update (true of Windows too) and see if it causes any problems with 3rd-party software, etc. - PRIOR to updating your system   And always, always have a full, known-good backup before you update. Especially for any computer that is used for business purposes !
    Last but definitely not least, you should know that Adobe CS2 is a Power-PC only application (circa G4 and G5 processors, before Apple moved to Intel processors), and requires Rosetta (PowerPC emulation).
    So you should consider any CS2 application running at all, as fairly miraculous.
    CS3 was released four years ago, and provided the first Intel-native ("Universal Binary") versions of the CS-suite applications.
    Mac OS 10.6 only runs on Intel-based Macs (ie: Intel processor required).
    If you are using Photoshop CS2 for any revenue-generating purposes, then it is (and was) incumbent upon you to properly allocate and budget for
    upgrades and you should - nay, must - be running a more current version of the software. If your budget does not allow for newer Adobe CS, then you should have kept a legacy system that can run an older Mac OS, and understand that your workflow is living on borrowed time - and you had best keep several old Macs that can still run an older Mac OS and run your CS2 natively.
    In no way shape or form is CS2 supported under Mac OS X 10.6 - certainly not in any official way by Adobe !
    You could also be irate about not being able to use your 8-track tape player in your brand new car. I'm exaggerating but not too much.
    Please read Adobe's response regarding CS3 (not CS2) and 10.6/Snow Leopard:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/08/adobe_snow_leopard_faq.html
    With all of this in mind, you should know that your frustrations with Apple and the unsupported and not-recommended interaction of CS2 and 10.6 are misguided. Best of luck to you !

  • "Program error" When I click on the timeline/motion controls or try to export/save as my animation. PS CC late 2014

    I have been working on an animation for an online ad. The file is 300 by 250. It's about 24 seconds long. I had completed and saved my work as a GIF file. I also saved some static JPGs of the animation. Everything was still working at this point. Then I closed Photoshop and reopened the PSD file to export it to a different format, but when I clicked on the time-marker in the timeline window or tried to edit my animation, I got this error message: "could not complete your request because of a program error." Watch the following video to see exactly what happens:
    I'm running Adobe Photoshop CC November 2014. I'm working on a PSD file, 24 seconds long, 30 fps.
    I looked in my library/preferances/adobe folder for photoshop's error log file. This is the error in that file:
    2014:11:12 18:30:17 : /Volumes/workarea/PS_15_Mac_Daily_Retail/20140730.r.148/photoshop/main/photoshop/sources/ ULinkManager.cpp : 1380 : REQUIRE failed
    Thank you so much for reading this. It sucks to work so long on an ad and then have this happen for seemingly no reason. Please help if you can.

    Looks like issues with some linked smart objects... You could try and copy/ move the whole shebang to another location in the hopes that it either fixes the issue or PS completely forgets the linked files completely so you might relink/ replace them.

  • Using Adobe Photoshop CS2 version 9 and have updated it, but when stacking photos, it comes up with PSD, whereas I want Jpeg, and I change the format to Jpeg and the box then comes up with cannot save as there is a program error. Be very grateful for help

    Using Adobe Photoshop CS2 version 9 and have updated it, but when stacking photos, it comes up with PSD, whereas I want Jpeg, and I change the format to Jpeg and the box then comes up with cannot save as there is a program error. Be very grateful for help with this, please.

    jpg does not support Layers.
    Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

  • I keep getting a message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I keep getting a message saying ( Could not complete your request because of a program error??
    Does anyone know what this means or how to fix?

    blucoast,
    Can you please be more detailed? When are you getting this - what is causing it? Any specific tool or while starting Photoshop itself?
    Do you see an error number or error code or a report? Can you post that here?

  • Effects not working? "Could not complete your request because of a program error?"

    Hey guys&gals - I have always had this problem when working in RGB/CYMK modes - can anyone help me with that?
    More more importantly, now I am getting in in Grayscale mode as of this morning.
    I run Photoshop 6 V 13.1.2 x64 and just updated it this AM.
    Effects are crucial for my job, so I need this fixed asap!!
    I have tried the ctrl, alt, shift start up to no avail. Restarted, shutdown my PC as well.
    Please advise!
    Thanks,
    blaqgranitelaser

    Found the places I was supposed to - now what? Photoshop isn't crashing... doesn't give me any info other than a box saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." And I have no choice but to click OK. This only happens when I try to use the layer effects in any color mode. Originally it was only in RGB/CMYK but now also happens in Grayscale.
    I'm not technologically savvy - I know what programs I use, but that is all.

  • Can't open file: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I have a Photoshop file that suddenly won't open.  Last week I upgraded to CS5--the file had been created in CS3 prior to that.  When I try to open it, I receive this error message (in CS5): "Could not complete your request because of a program error."  I tried to open the same file in CS3; there, the file opens, but as soon as I try to do anything I get the same error message....which, annoyingly, re-appears the second I click "OK," so the only thing I can do in CS3 is force-quit.
    I've used Time Machine to retrieve versions of the file that were saved four days ago, seven days, and several weeks ago, and I get the same message every time.  Even on versions that were last saved with CS3 (before I installed CS5).
    Naturally, this is one of the most important files in my life right now....it's a 300 MB file that contains hundreds of layers and dozens of comps.  So the fact that I suddenly can't open it, after shelling out $1200 to upgrade to the latest and greatest Adobe has to offer, is, to say the least, distressing.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    First thing I would do is investigate hard drive issues and the health of the OS.

  • Cannot open files ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error

    I can inly open 3 files and then I get this error message ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error

    There is likely a font on that system that's corrupted or for some reason Photoshop just can't deal with.  Fonts are complex things, and it's well known that bad fonts can crash applications.
    Ferreting out such a font is normally a matter of removing all but the default fonts, seeing that the problem is corrected, then adding the fonts back in systematically until the offender is isolated.  Yes, this can be tedious.
    If it's not a font problem, there's a possibility it's a display driver problem.  To help diagnose that, go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, disable OpenGL Drawing, then restart Photoshop.  If the problem goes away, you'll want to check the web site of the maker of the video card for driver updates.  Don't forget to re-enable OpenGL Drawing again after updating the driver.
    Good luck.
