How is it for games using Visa 64?

I am thinking of getting a MBP 15" and the GPU (9600) is less than some windows only laptops (9800 nVidia 1gig)
Fallout 3, Medal of Honor, ect..
Thanks

Heya, I'm currently gaming on the MBP (Late 2008) with the 256mb of GFX memory model (but with 4gb of memory.)
It runs Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, Age of Empires 3 and other games beautifully. You should get at least 30 fps for all games (that being high settings for most games.) The only bad part about gaming with the MBP is the fan, which is facing up, instead of being on the bottom. This causes the fan to reach insane speeds with any game. If you don't mind the sound then by any means get it. But if you want to get a dedicated gaming machine, stay away. If you want a cheap and really good (I mean better than "alienware"; alienware is a piece of carp), get a Sager notebook

  • How Does EAX For Games W

    I am afraid that I've never been able to figure out how to configure my EAX Console to ensure that the EAX is working in my gaqmes. For example, in Far Cry, you can enable hardware mixing and, after that, EAX 2. If I enable these, what do I set in the EAX Console? Enable Audio Effects? If so, what audio effect? You use to be able to select EAX Games under special effects, but that option isn't there unless I import it.
    How do I tell what game uses what setting? Other games I want to ensure I have the proper setup for are Half Life 2, Call Of Duty, Medal of Honor, Halo.
    Clarification of the exact procedure would be most welcome.

    Foomobile,
    For games, with this card, you don't need to set anything up except EAX in the game itself. Just choose an EAX option in the game and that's all you need to do. You don't need to adjust anything in EAX console.
    You may want to update to the latest drivers aswell, as they add extra EAX support (EAX 4.0).

  • How create timer for game?

    I want to know how much time player spend in the game.
    For this i want create a timer.
    I thing it must be something like this:
    player come to the game (time 0:00), player plaing for example 22 minutes, gameover game (player spend 22 minutes and 0 sec).
    code:
    import flash.utils.getTimer;
    var gameStartTime:uint;
    var gameTime:uint;
    var gameTimeField:TextField;
    function mainFunction():void
         gameTimeField = new TextField();
         addChild(gameTimeField);
         gameStartTime=getTimer();
         gameTime=0;
         addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showTime);
    function showTime(event:Event)
         gameTime=getTimer()-gameStartTime;
         gameTimeField.text="You plaing: "+clockTime(gameTime)+"min";
    function clockTime(ms:int)
         var seconds:int=Math.floor(ms/1000);
         var minutes:int=Math.floor(seconds/60);
         seconds-=minutes*60;
         var timeString:String=minutes+":"+String(seconds+100).substr(1,2);
         return timeString;
    mainFunction();
    Is this correct way?
    If you know how to make code smaller can you please share?
    Maybe exist standart component or something else for this?
    Thank you.

    Thank you guys!
    Just asking how to make timer correct:)
    I thout maybe you know existing standart coder or standart component for it?
    For example i use the same timer for 5 games.. and for every game i need create code..  Is it possible to make code just one time and create something like standart components in Flash IDE ? Or maybe adobe have place where everyone can create components and share whit other? Or its all not possible, and need create the same code again?
    By the way why i dont see my secons here?:
    var gameStartTime:uint;
    var gameTime:uint;
    function mainFunction():void
         gameStartTime=getTimer();
         gameTime=0;
         addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showTime);
    function showTime(event:Event)
         gameTime=getTimer()-gameStartTime;
         myText.text="Time: "+clockTime(gameTime);
    function clockTime(ms:int)
         var seconds:int=Math.floor(ms/1000);
         var timeString:String=String(seconds+100).substr(1,2);

  • How to search for files using wildcards * and ?.

    Hi All,
    I've been searching the forum for a couple of hours now and have been unable to find a good example of how to search a directory (Windows OS) for a file using wildcards * and/or ?. Does anyone out there have a good example that they can share with me?
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond to my question. All of your responses where greatly appreciated.
    I took the example code that was posted by rkconner, thanks rkconner, and modified it to allow me to search for files in a directory that contain * and/or ?. Yes, I said and/or! Meaning that you can use them both in the same file name, example: r??d*.t* would find readme.txt.
    I've posed my complete and thoroughly document code below. I hope it is very helpful to other as I have searched many forums and spent many hours today trying to resolve this problem.
    Enjoy
    * File Name: WildcardSearch.java
    * Date: Jan 9, 2004
    * This class will search all files in a directory using the
    * asterisk (*) and/or question mark (?) as wildcards which may be
    * used together in the same file name.  A File [] is returned containing
    * an array of all files found that match the wildcard specifications.
    * Command line example:
    * c:\>java WildcardSearch c:\windows s??t*.ini
    * New sWild: s.{1}.{1}t.*.ini
    * system.ini
    * Command line break down: Java Program = java WildcardSearch
    *                          Search Directory (arg[0]) = C:\Windows
    *                          Files To Search (arg[1]) = s??t*.ini
    * Note:  Some commands will not work from the command line for arg[1]
    *        such as *.*, however, this will work if you if it is passed
    *        within Java (hard coded)
    * @author kmportner

  • How to create for loop USING a while loop

    Hi, I would like make a for loop inside of a while loop because I want to control the i count of the loop, and overall, more control over the loop. From what I understand, labVIEW's for loop doesn't let me change where the i count starts. It always start at i=0, and what I want to do is be able to jump to specific loop iterations and then continue from there.
    Thank you.

    That is not the same as the earlier examples.
    If you want 10 counts and start at 0, then the stop terminal will stop after 10 times.  Just like you get when you wire 10 into the N terminal and don't have a conditional loop.
    If your start value is larger, let's say 9, then your loop will only run 1 time because i=0 on first iteration + 1+ 9 (start value).  0 + 1 +9 = 10.
    If your start value is larger than 10, then it will run 10 times again because on the intial iteration the result of your comparison is already greater than 10 and won't stop, and will never be equal on later iterations.
    So your example does not even give consistent results depending on the value you use as the start value.
    (Just to note, my earlier examples may not all be identical results as I didn't try to verify all the stop conditions nor the array that is output by the ramp function.  I could be off by one iteration here or there.  But they should be good enough to point out distinctive ways to accomplish what the OP asked for.)

  • How to search for folders using jsp ( or any other way)?

    Hey All,
    It's my first time writing here and i hope i can get some help ... i have created a payroll system using java and jsp techniques and mysql as the database, i want to create a backup page that will let the use to choose the destination folder for the back up, the backup is basically a mysqldump command that will get the destination folder as an argument and create the sql file there. the problem is i couldn't find anyway to let the user browse his local machine and choose the folder , which in returns return the folder path to be used in mysqldump....
    I know that html have <input type=file> but it's used for selecting file not folder...
    can someone come up with a solution for me coz it's urgent and i have to finish the project by the end of this week.,.
    peace!

    Also you can use an OUTPUT clause ( need to modify your DML operations)
    create table itest ( i int identity not null primary key, j int not null unique )
    create table #new ( i int not null, j int not null)
    insert into itest (j)
    output inserted.i, inserted.j into #new
    select o.object_id from sys.objects as o
    select * from #new
    drop table #new, itest;
    go
    The example below shows code that uses OUTPUT clause in UPDATE and DELETE statements to insert rows into an audit table.
    create table t ( i int not null );
    create table t_audit ( old_i int not null, new_i int null );
    insert into t (i) values( 1 );
    insert into t (i) values( 2 );
    update t
       set i  = i + 1
    output deleted.i, inserted.i into t_audit
     where i = 1;
    delete from t
    output deleted.i, NULL into t_audit
     where i = 2;
    select * from t;
    select * from t_audit;
    drop table t, t_audit;
    go

  • How is iPad for outdoor use?

    The sun glare, and also how easy or hard it is to keep clean. The iPad I've played with looks like it would fit best for library/office/ living room/bedroom usage and in the evening. In public it's a little awkward holding it in front of your face with both hands, and flat on a table it's liable to pick up dust and debris on a park table/coffee shop/restaraunt/bar type of setting. I'm asking this because it seems to me that the main reason I'd get one is to have something a little easier than a laptop to throw under my arm or slip in a bag to take to a place where I might need it. If I know I need something, I'd bring the laptop. 

    The only screens that do well in bright sunlight are eInk screens. Screens like iPads, iPhones and laptops have do not do well in bright sunlight. It also rains outside.
    I don't know why you'd need to hold an iPad up in front of your face but I agree, it might get tiring. I take mine regularly to coffee shops and restaurants. I brush the table off first. I don't generally lay it flat though as that would be hard to read. I usually rest the edge on the table and prop it up or hold it up, dependint on what's available. I don't take it to bars.
    Generally, I find my iPad to be a great portable option. It fits in my messenger bag, goes everywhere with me.

  • Controlling two GPIB instruments using VISA

    I'm using Labview 5.1.1 (unfortunatly I have no way of getting a better version) and I want to control a multimeter and a powersupply. I need the power supply to vary it's output while the multimeter reads the data for the different power supply outputs. This means that the multimeter and power supply need to work synchronously. How can I do this using VISA? or is there an easier way?
    -Labmonkey

    This isn't really operating "synchronously" - you're really just trying to set up a closed-loop system. Is there an easier way? Yes. Check if the power supply has remote sense capability. This does exactly what you're trying to do. This is a far better solution that trying to perform the closed-loop system in software. In fact, I would get a different power supply if the one you have doesn't have remote sense capabilities, but that's just me.
    If you *really* had to do in software you basically have to set up a while loop that get the measurements from the multimeter, compares it to the desired setting, sees if it's within your desired "error", calculates how much delta to apply to the programmed voltage for the power supply (taking into account that the
    programming resolution of the power supply won't be the same as the measurement resolution of the multimeter), and the programs the power supply to the new, corrected, setting.
    Still say you're better off with a power supply with remote sensing.

  • How to create a multiplayer game for steam using flash/flex?

    Hi guys,
    We've got a multiplayer game ready to go. Currently it is not multiplayer, but we'd like to get it to a stage where it can be played over the steam network by users of steam and owners of steam games.
    We'd like to if anyone could briefly give us a breakdown of how to get out game up on steam and available for multiplayer?
    Does steam host servers, and can we utilise a steam server to transfer data between players or would we have to run our own server?
    Currently were using flash builder to publish via adobe air to a windows desktop exe. Can anyone briefly explain how - once a player has downloaded the game from steam we can connect two players? Does anyone know how to use actionscript 3 to access steam network?
    Anyone have any experience developing multiplayer turn based game for steam using flash /actionscript 3 /adobe air?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    i

    You would want to use the SteamWorks API, which is available from Steam as a C++ library, but there is most likely an Adobe Native Extension (ANE) that would allow you to use the library in AS3.
    I've never used SteamWorks but it seems to support peer-2-peer matchmaking (in other words, you wouldn't even need your own server, I think.)

    If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
    It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
    Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.
