Game question #2

First of all, thanks for answering the last question I had. I was hoping someone could also give me some ideas for this food/market system. I know how to make an invisible button but how do I command it to switch frames to the market and then back to the game? I was also wondering how to make the rest of the functions in this game act accordingly. Such as the food depleting and in turn lowering the health, and fluctuating market prices and so on. If you could help by explaining things or suggesting some lessons that would be a great help to me!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Such as the food depleting and in turn lowering the health, and fluctuating market prices and so on.
You can make your movieclips a variable and then change your food number which might represent something in graphic form. To change prices, use a random number, but make it limited to lets say "5-15" currency. Create a range

Pc games question

Hey all,
I'm sure this is a question asked all the time, so please bear with me
I'm really desiring to invest in a mac of some sort this summer, the only downside to mac at the moment, is that if you like to play games, the far majority are based for PC. Is there some way around through an emulator perhaps to be able to play such games on a mac?
If yes, is it also possible to network a Mac into a LAN with PCs and play with/against those people on PCs?
I did a few searches and I found a few devices out, or coming out that seem to suggest that a special network card is needed, but, if anyone knows the details - it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot.

Just install Windows on your Mac via Bootcamp and run the games in Windows.

Macs use the same ethernet cards that PCs do.

Classic Video Games Question

Hi all,
I'm a bit of a video game lover and recently have come across some oldies on the web I used to love. Mostly PC games like Indiana Jones adventure types....
I'm now 100% Mac, and found a copy on Amazon of one of these games on CD for sale. Question is, will very old mac based games run on my Intel Based iMac?
If not, does any one know/has heard of any programs or tools to run video games classics?
thanks

Hi djkhont,
As someone who was recently trying to revive my old PC games, try the following utilities:
DosBOX - An MS-DOS emulator, available free for download for many platforms (including Mac OS X Universal)
ScummVM - Another free application to run a good chunk of the classic LucasArts games (Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Loom, etc). You mentioned Indiana Jones... don't know which Indiana Jones you found at Amazon, but check the list of supported games, I believe "Last Crusade" is in there.
As far as playing MacOS 9 (Classic) games on an Intel Mac, I'm afraid it's not possible, as the other posters had mentioned. The Intel Macs do not support the Classic environment.
(another reason why I will never part with my old iBook...)
Hope this helps,

IPod Games Questions

I purchased iPod games on my work Mac, Subsequently I had problems where the game refused to play on my iPod and asked me to resync. Unfortunately I was at home and the game is on my work Mac.
My question is: Is there a way to put this game on to my home Mac so if I need to re-sync at home I can?

Yes... you should be able to copy your purchased game files to another computer. Assuming I've read your message correctly you've restored your iPod and are now syncing with your iTunes library at home instead of work as previously. It should be possible to manually add the game while at work and then use Jeff's method from the previous post to recover the game to your home computer. If that is not possible there is another way...
iPod games are stored in the iPod Games subfolder of your iTunes folder (I'm working on a PC here but should hold true for Macs). Copy the ipg file for the game and any associated folder onto some form of transportable media - e.g. the iPod in disk access mode. When you get home drag the file (and optional folder) to the iPod Games subfolder, start iTunes. Drag & drop the ipg file onto the iPod Games section of the library. This should import the game. Open the game's information page in the libray. At this point iTunes should ask you to confirm your account details so that it can authorise your computer to access this game file. It should now be possible to sync the game to your iPod.

Some Mac OS X game questions

I'm trying to create a game for Mac OS X. I want to be able to create a program where you are a spaceship, and you manuever your way through space, and I'll add other features to that, once I have the basics down. I have the following questions.
1. How do I draw an NSImage in a view? I don't want to use an NSImageView, because I want the image to be able to move around.
2. What would be the best way to start desinging my game? I haven't even started?
I might come up with more questions later on. I am really stuck here. I have no idea where to begin.

I found this method:
- (void)drawInRect:(NSRect)dstRect fromRect:(NSRect)srcRect operation:(NSCompositingOperation)op fraction:(CGFloat)delta
I tried this out, but I don't know what NSCompositingOperation I want to use, I don't really understand them, even after looking at the documentation. What would be the best one to use to just make an NSImage appear in a view?

[Game]Question[Mutliplayer]

So I'm working on a multiplayer networked game. So basically you log in with a username and password from the client's log-in GUI. The server checks it against a MySQL DB, and if the credentials are valid, you are logged into the game. The game is mostly that you control this white box with the arrow keys, and you click to shoot. And when two people are logged in, they can move around, dodging the other's bullets, while shooting in return.
Questions
How would I update the locations of the players on the screen? Should I just send a data string with the new coordinates of the player to the server, and the server updates it? Will there be lag in doing this method? Are there more efficient ways? If so, what?
The timing and efficiency of this update is important as this is a time-crucial game.

"What should the format of my messages be? That is, what should my message protocol look like?"Sending the new coordinates is a reasonable option, and probably the simplest. I would start with that. As for "data string," presumably you'll want to sent the coordinates in their native primitive format, which I suspect is int, rather than as Strings.
"Should I send the data to the server, and let pass it on to the other client? Or should I send it directly to the other client?"Unless your game will always be played on a LAN, you'll probably have no choice but to have the clients communicate through the server.
Will there be lag in doing this method? Of course there will. There's a lag in every single operation we do. Quantum action at a distance computers do not yet exist. There is nothing we can do in zero time.
Are there more efficient ways? That question is meaningless at this stage.

Firmware + Games Question

I was wondering if there was a way to get around the firmware update (1.2) so I can put my games I've bought on my iPod. My iPod gets disconnected when iTunes tries to update my iPod firmware.

Hi Xb0x3r!
The 1.2 Firmware update is required for games to be compatible with your Fifth Generation iPod. (no way around it if you want to play games).
My iPod gets disconnected when iTunes tries to update my iPod firmware.
Okay, now let's start the troubleshooting.
First of all, check this possibility:
1 - Connect your iPod.
2 - In iTunes, click on your iPod in the left-panel.
3 - Now, click on the "Music" tab in the upper panel of the right-area of iTunes.
4 - See if "Enable Disk Use" is check-marked (if you're on "automatic sync" option). If Disk Use isn't enabled, then be sure to check-mark it now, eject your iPod, disconnect it, then reconnect it.
5 - Now, try updating your iPod again with 1.2 firmware.
Now here's some questions:
1. Does your iPod seem to automtically disconnect from your computer just after having a little bit of time of being connected to your computer, or does this "automatic-ejecting" happen only when you start the firmware updating?
2. Are you getting any error messages when connecting your iPod, or when trying to update your iPod with the latest version?
3. By any chance do you run the McAffe Disk Scanner, or McAffe firewall/security program? If so, then go to the program, and turn off your internet security and firewall.

ApplicationStorageDirectory - Best Practice for Games Question

So I've been working on a game which uses AIR. My problem is that I have been storing my game assets in the application directory. That would be fine except that the game has a built-in editor which requires the ability to write files. Adobe has since locked the ApplicationDirectory to write access, so now I'm not sure of where I'm expected to store all of my user editable game files - which is potentially ALL game assets.
The seemingly obvious choice is to use ApplicationStorageDirectory. While not ideal, in that it seems I would need to duplicate all assets from inside the application to the storage directory on startup, it would provide a standard and easy to find place to store editable game assets.
However, this article (on this site) clearly tells me that I should not do that. It makes a good point. Backing up all of the games assets is messy proposition. And while I can see users who take advantage of the editting capabilities as appreciating the backup, for the average player, that would be a pretty big annoyance.
So what am I expected to do in this scenario? I need a writable location where the user and the application can easily access all game assets ( XML, Image, MP3 ). I don't want to pick an arbitrary location, and I'm turned off by the application needing to redundantly house the data just to copy to the destination directory since there's no way for me to delete it once it's copied since I can't write to the application folder.
Thanks for the thoughts.

Hi,
A couple things come to mind. It's actually not Adobe that locks the application directory on Windows, that's a MS permissions thing with folders under Program Files. But either way, it's still a problem.
As you mentioned, you could copy files on first launch but depending on the size, this could be annoying after a user just sat through the install. It's also not very friendly when you want to uninstall. You might want to consider sub launching the AIR installer from a separate installer which also takes care of installing the game resources to another writable location. Maybe this is user selectable, but at least it's monitored by the installer which should allow you to uninstall properly.
Would it be possible to keep the resources with your app, but architect the editor such that only user created content would go in a user writable directory (such as a subdirectory off of their documents folder?)

Virtual Game question ....can't seem to play on macbook pro

I can't seem to play a virtual game on my laptop, I got this laptop for my college. This virtual world game runs fine on my parents iMac and the iMac was a late 2009 24" 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. My laptop specs are:
15.4 Macbook Pro 2010
Intel Core i5
4GB Memory
320GB hard drive1
SD card slot
Built-in battery (8-9 hour)b
Intel HD Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256MB
And the game requirements is:
Download for Mac OS X
vSide Mac OS X Client
What to do:
System Requirements:
Mac running OS X 10.4.10 or newer with 512MB RAM (1GB recommended)
and a video card with 128MB VRAM or more.
So can anyone tell me what's going on there? Thanks.

My hard drive has 1.97gb, *I have 2.56gb* left.
I think those numbers are wrong ? but if correct this cause be a serious performance issue, a hard drive needs at least 10% free space left on it for normal function ... are you sure you're not reading the RAM figures ? Open a Finder window and at the bottom will be 'xxxGB Available'
SSD are very fast and quiet but they are expensive and offer lower capacity than normal internal drives. You can upgrade what you have to 500GB or if the right model/space to 650GB. If your drive is getting full I suggest you look at something like the Seagate 500GB 7200rpm kit from OWC for only $148

Tile Based Game Questions

Hi, I know there are tons on posts about this topic, but I can not find the answer to my questions.
First, how would I go about moving the world around so the char is always in the center or near center of the screen? Do I have to have some sort of offset or something?

Applet game question , plz take a look

Hi!
Which is the most common method when u have an applet game and you want to paint/print things on the screen, do i use the normal paint method?
like this:
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(stone,0,0);
g.drawImage(grass,0,44);
//etc etc...
} I don't know any other way so please tell me which is the most common way. And which alternatives there are.
Thanks in advance. http://www.pbhome.se/alltomallt/html/Little%20Quester.html

Active rendering is when you actively decide when to render (draw) things.
No, I don't have any current samples, and if I gave them to you it'd be because I used the wonderful "Search Forums" box on the left sidebar, or google. I suggest you learn to do the same or you won't get very far. Good luck with your work.

Game question - ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExecption

hello. I am trying to finish a game as a final project for my java II class. My problem is that in my Enemy class, I keep getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExecption, and I don't know why this is happening. Also, when I try to use setVisible to set the "enemy" JLabel (which contains an ImageIcon) to false, nothing happens. I get no compiler error about it but it just doesn't work.
The ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException always occurs while I'm running the program. It always happens as soon as an enemy is hit by a bullet. If anybody could help me figure out how to fix this error it would be greatly appreciated. Here is all of my code:

public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event) {
    currentImage++;
    enemy = enemyArray[currentImage];Wild guess: do you ever reset currentImage back to zero? If not everytime an action occurs it continually increases until it reaches 4 and then you get AIOOBE since array has valid indicies of 0 - 3.
