New to Java, Have a question

For school we were assigned a independant program and I know I want to make a game but not sure of what avenue I should take. I can draw, input, output, input and output files and am about to learn arrays. What is a good game to start on? any pointers, tips?

  • New to java: have to develop for palm, symbian and pocket pc

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to Java. After a long time of searching for a technology which allows it to develop an application for Palm OS, Symbian OS and Pocket PC I am curious if one can do this with Java. I searched the Palm and Symbian homepages and found that those OSes can handle MIDlets. I could not found if they also can handle full Java-applications. For the Pocket PC I could not found a solution to run Java applications or MIDlets.
    My questions:
    - is it possible to run Java applications on Palm, Symbian an Pocket PC?
    - if yes, which tools are the best to use? (SUN One?)
    - is it possible to write "real" applications (for instance a spreadsheet) as MIDlet or can one use "real"-Java to develop applications for Palm/Symbian/Pocket PC?
    Sorry if this questions sound a little stupid an thanks for every help/suggestion!
    Kind regards,
    Martijn

    Normaly such devices only know MIDlets. This is becaus they do not have the power of a PC. In addition to that they are to different in hardware so an other API is to use.
    I think it is notpossible to write a VM to do the same as a PC now.
    Hope this will help you.

  • New to Apple have some questions.

    Im looking into getting a portable music device with a large capacity. So far the Ipod Classic is the best as far as price goes but i had a few more questions about its performance and such.
    First and for most Ive heard lots of people complain their Ipod broke down once they got it home or shortly there after, or they had any of a long list of troubles with the software. are these common issues or just the few speaking for the many?
    Also my friends and i swap music a lot so right now my collection is only at 10 gigs but im expecting it to grow quite rapidly, can i load all of the stuff i already have into Itunes or will i have to buy new songs from Itunes? ive never had that bit explained fully too me before. How does the Apple brand hold up to some of the other makers of large capacity mp3 players such as Zune and Creative Zen? And lastly are there any other issues i should be aware of as a newcomer to ipods? Thanks to all that can help answer my questions and give me a bit of advice.

    are these common issues or just the few speaking for the many?
    There are tens of millions of iPod owners. These are just a few vocal users who've been unlucky enough to receive a faulty device. Same goes for any electronic device - out of tens of millions of devices made, there's always a tiny chance one may have manufacturing defects - but the chances of getting one are miniscule.
    I've upgraded through 4 various iPod models over the years, and never had a problem with any of them. My old iPods are still in use by the people who I passed them onto. I've also bought a few iPods as gifts, and they're still going strong too.
    Also my friends and i swap music a lot
    Well, that's illegal as you don't own the copyright to the music to share it, so you probably shouldn't broadcast that fact!
    can i load all of the stuff i already have into Itunes
    Yes.
    How does the Apple brand hold up to some of the other makers of large capacity mp3 players such as Zune and Creative Zen?
    Well, I think the popularity of the iPod should speak for itself. If it wasn't a good product it would not have become so successful. iPods consistently get very high review scores.
    As you've only got 10gb of music at the moment, why not get a 32 or 64gb iPod touch? There'll be plenty of space for your music library to grow into, plus you get the best touchscreen mobile internet, email, wi-fi device on the planet. Everyone raves about the iPod touch - just Google for some reviews.

  • New to OSMF - have several questions (closed captions, tutorial, etc), please help!

    Hello,
    I came across OSMF this week and am extremely curious to learn more about this for my job and personal work/knowledge. If any of these questions could be answered I will be ever-so grateful!! Thank you.
    1) Anyone know of or have any information or tutorials or plug-ins on how to make OSMF videos work with closed captions for single or a multi-video player gallery for each video? (captions - this is very important for my job)
    2) Does anyone know of any good and easy to understand (I'm mid-level in AS3) tutorials and/or source files on how to build an OSMF player preferably in Flash?
    3) I know Flash Builder (Flex) some, but am better with Flash (CS4/5), but a lot of what I see is for Flex... what is preferred for OSMF - Flex or Flash or it doesn't matter?
    4) I searched Amazon.com, but couldn't find - are there any books for OSMF?
    Sorry I posed this in Developers also, but unsure which is appropriate for my questions. Thank you, again.

    Hi, Duane!
    This may help with your questions re: captions..
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Captions
    As for tutorials, we've got some links to ones created by members of the community here:
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=osmf.adobe:Community_Port al
    And, as far as OSMF books, there aren't any third-party ones of which I'm aware. You can download a PDF of Adobe's OSMF Dev Guide here (the PDF link is at the upper right):
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/OSMF/1.0/Dev/index.html
    Or, you can view the very same content in topic-by-topic form at the wiki in the links above.
    Best of luck with your endeavors!

  • I'm new to Macs, have a question about a 20" cinema display

    Hi, I just got a used G5 with a 20" display. I am new to Macs, just trying to figure a few things out. The display is great, but when it comes to text some letters are not as sharp as I want them to be, plus the monitor is giving me a headache/eye strain - perhaps because of the frequency ( I did ot find a way to change it ). I'm running it at 1680x1050 which looks the sharpest but can it be better? How can I achieve sharper text and avoid the eye strain?
    Thank you in advance for all the help.

    You might try turning the brightness down...like way down...when reading text. LCD monitors are much brighter than CRT monitors of the past. The out-of-box configuration is usually way too bright for comfortable text use.
    You can always turn the brightness back up when you want to look at photos and that sort of thing. The monitor I have at work is set to "0" brightness and it's still plenty bright.

  • New to NAS have setup question

    Just bought the mycloud ex4. I have 4 hard drives that contain data I do not want to lose. All I want to do now is access the data on these drives from my new laptop. I want the drives to remain as individual drives, no raid right now. I need this data to setup my new laptop's software. They also contain backups from my old system. My old system was a tower which contained all these drives. I want to attach these drives to the laptop as 4 network attached drives.I am not experienced with NAS and I do not see how to do this in the instructions, which are mostly over my head.  I have put the drives in the EX4 and I have connected it to my network. I can access the EX4 with my browser. Can you help me get started.Thanks

  • Im new to java and hope somebody can help me with my question

    Hi!
    Im quite new to java and I just have some simple questions..
    can someone please tell what kinds of error are considered as language violation for java? where can I find more info about these errors?
    can someone give me a simple example on a kind of error that cannot be caught in both compilation and runtime? I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance!!

    knightz211 wrote:
    Im just asking about errors that might go against the language definition but cant be detected.. If it "goes against the language defintion," it will be detected by the compiler. That's half of the compiler's job is to tell you what you've done that violates the language spec.
    because it confuses me when they say that such errors might occur so I just want to know what might these errors be.. sorry for that..Who's "they"? What exactly* did "they" say about "such errors"? It sounds to me like you're just confused, and you think there's something mysterious and inexplicable going on but you don't know what and don't even know what you're asking.
    I would suggest not worrying about hypothetical problems that you can't even put into words and focussing on learning Java. Along the way, if you encounter real, specific, actual problems, ask about them, and you'll probably get answers about the problems themselves and the language or theory behind them.

  • Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

     

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

  • I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

    I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • New iMac, have several questions

    Community,
    First of all I'm not sure if this is the right community to post to. My questions seem to span several forum categories. If there is a better general forum for my questions, please let me know.
    I just got a new iMac, (21.5 inch late 2013), with a 1T fusion drive and pre-loaded with Yosemite (version 10.10.1). My "old" iMac is a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo vintage 2006 model with 3G RAM and running Leopard and Snow Leopard. I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of my new iMac and Yosemite and I have some questions. Keep in mind that I'm an old dog trying to learn some new tricks, so please be patient.
    1. I think I may already have the answer on this one (via the FAQ I read about Fusion Drives) but I'll ask anyway just to be sure I understand. On my previous macs, I've always partitioned my hard drive into 3 or 4 partitions and I would like to do the same with my new iMac. I tried following the Disk Utility Help but I'm running into a problem. Apparently I can only partition my fusion drive into two partitions. If I try to further partition either of those partitions I find I can only merge the existing two partitions back together. According to the Disk Utility help file, I should be able to create as many partitions as I want. So which is correct, the FAQ, (only two partition on a Fusion Drive), or the Disk Utility help, (as many partitions as I want)? And if I can have more than two partitions, how do I do that?
    2. Related to question 1, I also have an external hard drive (plain vanilla iOmega type) that is connected to my old iMac via USB cable. I use it for backup storage. Will there be any problem using that drive with my new iMac?
    3. One of my partitions is for Windows. I know OS X has Boot Camp but my understanding is that a user must restart when switching between OS X and Windows. Is that still true for Yosemite? If so, I'll stick with Parallels.
    4. Related to question 3, the help link for setting up Boot Camp indicates I need a 64 bit version of Windows 7. I have a 32 bit version. Is that an issue (keep in mind, I'll likely be using Parallels)?
    5. More on Windows. I see there is an option to format a Windows partition as MS-DOS FAT. On my old iMac my Windows partition was formatted as normal Mac OS Extended (journaled) and that works fine. Is there a reason I should format the Windows partition on my new iMac as MS-DOS FAT?
    6. I miss seeing the hard drive icons on my desktop, everything seems to be in the dock. Is there a way to show my hard drive icon and any other partitions on my desktop?
    7. Of course my biggest job will be to transfer data from my old iMac to the new one. The Firewire port on my old iMac is dead (zapped by lightning a few years ago). What is the best way to transfer data between the two computers? Note, I see a warning in the Disk Utility help file that "to prevent loss of data on your Fusion Drive don't connect it to a mac that's using a version of OS X older than 10.8.5". Is that warning relevant to transferring my data since my old iMac has
    10.5.8 and 10.6.8?
    That's my first barrage of newbie questions. There will likely be more.
    John

    Niel,
    Thanks for the quick reply. I understand 1, 2 and 3. I'll check with the Parallels people to get full resolution on items 4 & 5. It's a shame about the restart requirement for Boot Camp.
    Item 6 is a "duh". If I'd looked further I could have answered my own question.
    For item 7 I didn't get a definitive answer to my question about the relevancy of the warning. Is there an issue? For the answer you did provide are you saying i should dump everything from my old iMac onto my external hard drive and then move that external drive to the new iMac and load it? With regard to using a network approach, all I have is airport to my DSL router from my old iMac and then either Firewire or airport from the router to my new iMac. How would I use that setup? I have no other local or remote "network".

  • I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer.  I have a question mark in the place of the icon.  My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto.  Thank you

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer.  I have a question mark in the place of the icon.  My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto.  Thank you

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • I have a question about japan new depriciation engine using non-japanese chart of deprication

    Hi, all
    I have a question about link between new depriciation engine and chart of depriciation.
    My client want to use US chart of depriciation as standard chart of depriciation becuase it has already standard setting like IAS deprication keys.
    it means I have to create Japanese chart of depriciation by copying from US chart of depriciation(non-japanese sample(0JP))
    I have a little doubt about it. In my previous project, I copyed chart of depriciation by copy from Japan sample Chart of depriciation(0JP) stored in SAP.
    Is it possible to copy from non-japan sample charg of depriciation to using Japanese new depriciation engine? I worried some errors will occrues if I do not use sample chart of depriciation(0JP) .
    If I need to use sample Japanese chart of depriciation, please give me the idea why I need to use Japanese sample chart of depriciation. I want to know the examples of non-Japanese asset accouting consultants who have working experience in the area.
    Thank you.

    Hi, Narasimhulu
    Thank you for your support.
    My client use one COA to all over the world. And not only Japan, other country aslo use the COD which is copied from that of US. Basic reporting line is for USGAP. I will customize 2 depriciation ares, one for US GAP and another is JGAP. No need to create TAX realted customize.  It means it enought only adding Japanese new depriciation keys to Current US COD. No need to add more Japanese local requirements.
    In this case, I want to know follwoing point.
    I know COD controll depriciation keys, but I want to know more detail about COD, what kinds of controls COD do. What is Japanese local requirements. Why better to use COPY of JP COD.
    Thank you.

    Well I have a question. Why my New iPad is so hot within 30 minutes.i used internet from wifi and playing game 3d or 2d . It's appear after I upgrade to IOS6. Why?

    It's normal for the iPad or any similar device to get warm when it's under heavy load. If it gets too warm, it will shut itself off and show a disabled message.
    Take a look at this Apple doc -> Phone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    If you believe it's hotter than normal, make a reservation with a Genius.
