Help making a millipede/centipede type game

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a book that will help me make Centipede or Millipede in Java? This is my first year taking Computer Science and we need to make a game in a month and a half. I know the basics of Java (what I was able to learn in a semester). I chose Centipede which is like Space Invaders. Can you help me? Thanks!

The Java Tutorial is a good reference, then any game programming in Java Book, there are several here that have been recommended.
The biggest problem that you face, is scope. DON'T TRY TO DO MORE THAN YOU HAVE TIME TO DO. Keep the scope of your project doable and do not let it creep. One of the biggest things new programmers have problems with is: "Why not?" If it will look KEWL and you didn't have it in your original spec, don't include it.
If you are just looking to suck code down from someone else's experience, then there is a whole world to Google with lots and lots of source.

Help making a Spot The Difference game

Hi!
Im pretty new at Actionscript 3.0 and I have to make a Spot The Difference game for school.. Now I followed a tutorial, but it's in AS 2.0 and I really cant get it to work in AS 3.0. Also, the tutorial isn't complete, so is there anyone that can help me any further with the code ?
Here's the tutorial I followed:
http://www.flashperfection.com/tutorial ... rence-Ga...
Thanks!

The link in the first post doesnt seem to work, so I hope it works now:
http://www.flashperfection.com/tutorials/Create-a-Spot-the-Difference-Game-63139.html
The code in the game Mc is:
var differences:Number = 3;
var found:Number = 0;
function addDifferences(thisSide, otherSide) {
for (var i = 1; i<=differences; i++) {
var difference = thisSide["dif"+i];
difference.useHandCursor = false;
difference.found = false;
difference.otherSide = otherSide["dif"+i];
difference.tabEnabled = false;
difference.onPress = function() {
if (!this.found) {
this.play();
this.otherSide.play();
this.found = true;
this.otherSide.found = true;
found++;
if (found == differences) {
found = 0;
levels.play();
and then on left side:
_parent._parent._parent.addDifferences(this, _parent.rightSide)
and on the right side:
_parent._parent._parent.addDifferences(this, _parent.leftSide)

It's for English learners and for me probably (lol)

HELP!! Can's type in Firefox UNLESS I open another internet tab, then go back to the first tab.

HELP!! Can's type in Firefox UNLESS I open another internet tab, then go back to the first tab! All of the sudden, out of the blue, I hear the little "beep" noise that Mac's make when, for example, you try to close a program without saving an item first. It will "beep" to make you aware that you have an unsaved document. Now, without changing anything on my computer or Firefox, I get thet "beep" when I go to Firefox and try to type in a search box, etc. The only way I can type is if I open a new tab in firefox, then go back to the first tab. Only then will I be able to type. If I use my mouse and click on another box to type on, or try to go back and edit text I have already trped using the mouse to jump to a different portion of my text, I will hear the same "beep" until I (once again) click on another tab, then return to the first tab. It is very annoying as I have to constatnly click on another tab then return so that I can type or edit any thing. I had to do this several times while editing this very paragraph!! I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Nothing changed...
Any help????
Thanks in advance!

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Help making a Install USB of os x 10.4.6. for my Macbook 1.8ghz

Hi,
I need help making the USB install of os Tiger.
The drive is having trouble reading the install disc I own so I am trying to make a USB install of it.
I wantto install from the usb not install to it to be clear.
Things I have!
X1 8gig sandisk flash drive
1 Macbook white 1.8 ghz Intel
1 Pc with Macdrive 7
1 Install disc that seems to have trouble being read in the drive > few marks on the disc and the mac DVD drive make lots of noise reading it but
It will go to Disk utilities.
Seems to be a bug in Tiger and restore doesn’t seem to work as in I can’t drag and drop a source to the restore the DVD to the flash drive.
I already tried only 1 time to copy the DVD to the formatted flash drive using Macdrive and it read it as a bootable drive but the apple simple came up
And then I got a the error (Can’t find driver for this platform error APCH or something like that.
I have a torrent download of OS x 10.4.6 as well just in case some files are corrupted > I own the disk so it’s not illegal.
I am new to mac but long time user of PC.

Ok ..you need another Mac to make this work!
you just use another mac even a old one like g4 to make a restore to a flash drive that you have formatted and verified.
Bye

How to add a search help to a field Bank Type in Transaction FK02

        Thanks in Advance..

Hi, Tamas,
I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
The correct code is like:
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones.

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones. It currently looks fine on desktops and androids. I am using wordpress with a responsive theme (Canvas). I will need you to document The url is http://adamhtc.org.s183459.gridserver.com.

Thanks George, interesting thought. I looked on Adobe's site and they "advertise" fillable forms for the iPhone and Android markets, but on the Windows Phone tab, that is mysteriously missing. lol Maybe it will come later? Meanwhile, I'll google to see if there are any PDF viewers that can handle it now. Thanks for the reply. :-)

Help making a logon page

I need help making a simple logon page in Dreamweaver MX. I
have tried Visual Basic. and several other methods to no avail. If
someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated
Ron Hansen

Hi Ron
The proceedure is pretty much the same in
PHP/Coldfusion/JSP/ASP.
There is a very easy to follow example in the Dreamweaver
Help File.
Just go to Help-->Developing Applications Rapidly -->
Building pages that restrict access to your site (ColdFusion, ASP,
JSP, PHP) --> Building a login page
I don't think it can get much easier. But remember that you
will need to have a database table of user details in place to
complete the process.
Good luck.

Help me about ipod touch 2gen game download

help me about ipod touch 2gen game download...
my ipod isnt jailbreak..
if I need jail break please help me how cause when i use greenPoison they said to push menu button but my ipod havent menu button.. please help me apple

To more easly find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

She should call Apple support or visit the Genius Bar at an Apple store (make an appointment first at http://apple.com/retail). They will walk her through the process.

Help making a clock

Hey,
I was hoping to get some help making a clock update for me, but I don't want just to show the actual date, I know how to do that. What I want is to be able to set a time, and then the clock start running from then. For instance, after I enter Jan 3rd, 2005 at 3:43 as my time and date, I want the clock to start from there and update every second. Does that make sense?
Could someone help me out where to look to get this to happen? Thanks!

I think the OP wants to be able to set a time OTHER
than the current time. He doesn't want to wait
untill the time you entered to have the clock tick,
he wants to have it tick immediately from the "fake"
time that you've entered.
At least that's how I understood him. The offset is
the difference between the real time and the fake
time entered by the user.
If he just wants to display the current time, but not
stat doing that untill some point in the future then
yeah TimerTask is the simplest way to do it, but I
don' think that's what he's trying to do.thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate it. Sorry if I was a bit unclear. Norweed was right in saying that I want to set the time and start updating immediately, not wait until the time reaches my entered time and then count. Sorry for the confusion.
I was thinking that a offset would work, thanks for recommending that. I'm wondering if the time will get off after a while, I need this program to run probably arounnd 2-3 hours. Hopefully it won't drift very much over that time.
Thanks all for the recommendations and I will check all that out.

Help Making a Ringtone!

Hi,
I can't seem to make any ringtones for more than the first 15 seconds of a song in garageband. I know the songs I am trying to use are unprotected because they are recordings of me playing jazz and we didn't protect them, they are in mp3 format. But I can't get mp3 mp4a or AAc format to play more than the first 15 secs. I tried tuneclone, mp3 converter and everything. All i want to do is create a ringtone of a song. please help.

FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?

I have been using iMovie HD and it looks like its corrupted and cannot re-install it since I lost the disk image.
I am thinking of going to FCE over upgrading to iLife 09.
Does FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?

if your source is miniDV/Standard - yes.
if your source is 720p or iFrame - no.
in terms of speed and simplicity - iM09 is 'better'.
in terms of options and feature - FCE is by far superior.
note: iM09 is no 'upgrade' of your version, but a from ground off new app.
another note: FCE has a very steem learning curve, but after managing that is a fantastic tool!
