Non Graphical Game?

Hi, I was wondering if it is at all possible to make a non-graphical game with the java scripting program. I've seen so many posts about graphical games.. also, if there is a language that fits more with non-graphic interfaces (text based), please say so.

Java is great for muds and the like...if that is the type you are looking to do. Combined with beanshell (scripting) you can do some very robust/dynamic things.

Can I download and use non-Universal Games like Bookworm and Word Whomp ?

Can I download and use non-Universal Games like Bookworm and Word Whomp on my Macbook Pro? If I can, will they interfere with the computer's functions in any way? What about non-Universal widgets? Thanks.

hi Chevaux - Welcome to apple discussions!
i dont know how resource-intensive those apps are but you can certainly run them. if they are not universal binary they'll operate through an emulation layer called Rosetta. there's a performance penalty there, but if the app is not intensive in the first place, and/or you've maxxed out the RAM, you might very well not notice the penalty at all...
i assume the same comments apply to non-UB widgets, but as i abhor Dashboard i don't use it at all.......
cheers

LightDM: How to stop non-graphical applications on session logout?

Hi all,
I'm currently moving from XDM to LightDM and have a hard time figuring out how to clean up after myself when my session ends.
Here's the problem:
I start two non-graphical applications in ~/.xprofile
offlineimap
ssh-agent
I want to cleanly kill these when my graphical session ends
What would be the best way to achieve this?
What I tried until now:
Add ~/.xlogout which does the cleanup
Create /etc/lightdm/Xsession-mine which calls /etc/lightdm/Xsession and then ~/.xlogout
Modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to use /etc/lightdm/Xsession-mine as session wrapper
Result: ~/.xlogout doesn't seem to be called, probably due to exec in Xsession
History:
With XDM I would start my window manager in the foreground (without exec) in ~/.xinitrc and when it returns call my cleanup code.
Thanks in advance for all help and suggestions!
Timo

Hi graysky,
graysky wrote:Haven't used lightdm in a long time... does it have a PostLogout function similar to lxdm?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lxdm#Configuration
it does have something alike:
# session-cleanup-script = Script to run when quitting a user session (runs as root)
However, as the documentation states, this script is run as root, so I can't clean up on a per-user basis (or can I?).
Kind regards,
Timo

Non graphical Applications

Hi
A lot of classes exist for helping creating Graphical Applications. But can anyone tell if there's classes for creating non Graphical Applications - that is 'good old' character based user interfaces meant to run through a telnet session.
Regards
Hans Peter

I dont know general classes for that, sure you will spend more time trying to find it, that writing it. Maybe this could be an example:
public class Class
/** Here you variables */
int op = 0;
int op1= 0;
public static void main (String args[])
while( op!=N)
     menuPrincipal();
     op = Console.readInt( " Seleccion: " );
     System.out.println();
     switch( op )
     case 1:
     /** some method */
     break;
     case 2:
     /** some method */
     break;
     case N:
     op1 = 0;
     while( op1 != M )
          menu2();
          op1 = Console.readInt( " Seleccion: " );
          System.out.println();
          switch( op1 )
          case 1:
          /* some method */
break;
          case 2:
          /* some method */
     break;
     break;
          public static void menu1()
          System.out.print("\n");
          System.out.println(" Flechado de Villa Euler " );
          System.out.println("--------------------------");
          System.out.println();
          System.out.println(" 1. Cargar Grafo");
          System.out.println(" 2. Mostrar Grafo");
          System.out.println(" 3. Mostrar Alcances " );
          System.out.println(" 4. Imprimir Conjunto de Nodos y Lados " );
          System.out.println(" 5. Recorridos " );
          System.out.println(" 6. Salir " );
          System.out.println();
          public static void menu2()
          System.out.print("\n");
          System.out.println(" Recorridos >>> " );
          System.out.println();
          System.out.println(" 1. Circuito Euleriano");
          System.out.println(" 2. DFS ");
          System.out.println(" 3. BFS " );
          System.out.println(" 4. DFS con costos " );
          System.out.println(" 5. BFS con costos " );
          System.out.println(" 6. Dijkstra Secuencial " );
          System.out.println(" 7. Dijkstra HEAP " );
          System.out.println(" 8. A* (opcion a)" );
          System.out.println(" 9. A* (opcion b) ");
          System.out.println(" 10. Volver al menu principal");
     System.out.println();

Pogo non embedded games won't activate daily challenge.

Pogo will play except for daily challenge in non embedded games. Embedded games will activate. Non embedded will activate in other browsers. I'm using better privacy and self destructing cookies. Pogo is on the white list for the latter. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Cleanup of non-graphical Java Bean

I'm currently working on a non-graphical javabean that manages serial communications with a piece of our companies electronic hardware. One of the properties of the bean is "connected", and this property governs whether or not the bean has acquired control of the serial port.
The problem I have is that when the bean is deleted it remains connected to the serial port, blocking any other connections. I want to try to clean up properly but how can I do this? As far as I can tell non-graphical beans are given no notification that they have been removed from a page.
Note that I am reluctant to make this bean graphical. I want to reserve the possibility of using it on embedded devices that may not have access to graphical libraries such as awt or swing.
Chris.

A bean that is deleted is eventually garbage collected. So, an approach would be to override the finalize() method and put your serial port disconnecton code in that method.
Here is a trivial example:
public class MyBean {
   protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
      // put your code here to disconnect serial port.
      super.finalize();
      System.out.println("disposed");
   public static void main(String[] args){
      MyBean di = new MyBean();
      di= null;//delete the bean.
      System.gc();

Non Graphic card in 760GM-E51 PCIe x16 Slot

Why can't I use the on board graphics and attach a PCIe x2 or x4 SATA controller in the PCIe x16 slot? Any non graphic board is simply ignored.

Quote from: Bollwerk on 24-December-10, 03:39:17
That did it! Apparently, the bridge chip changes it between x16/x1 and x8/x8. Once I switched it to x8/x8 (SLI mode), the Asus card was recognized.
Thanks!
Almost, it changes the slots from x16/x0 to x8/x8
Nice to hear you got it sorted out
Merry Christmas and best wishes

[865PE/G Neo2] Instability With Graphics / Games

With AGP set to 8x in the ATI Control Panel, games crash about 15 minutes after playing. This affects not just games but anything that uses graphics. For example, even my aquarium screensaver crashes after 15 minutes.
Specs...
865PE Neo2 LS
Intel P4 2.6C @ 233MHz (3.0GHz)
2x 256MB Corsair PC3700 @ 466MHz
Antec True 430w
WD 40GB 8MB Buffer
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB
Audigy 2
LiteOn 16x DVD
LiteOn 52x32x52 CDRW
Windows XP Pro
I have found a solution but not one that I'm happy with. I changed the AGP from 8x to 4x in the control panel and it has only crashed once since and that was after my aquarium screen saver had been on a couple hours. So perhaps if I played games longer it would eventaully crash like the screensaver.
With 8x AGP, using an older ATI driver my games would just crash to a black screen. After updating to the latest Catalyst, 3.10, it crashes to the vpu recovery most of the time. I'm using bios 1.9 and this never happened before updating. The only problem I had before 1.9 was a couple times the computer froze and I had a colored box about 1" x 1" at the top left of the screen. I've reinstalled Windows XP though and haven't had that problem since.
I've changed my memory voltage to 2.8 and vcore to 1.6. AGP is 1.6 volts and locked at 66/33. Temps are the same at 4x as 8x so I don't think temps are the problem. My Radeon 9700 Pro is running at 55C idle and 65C under load. My CPU is running at 40C idle and 45C-50C under load. Performance mode is set to slow and Spread Spectrum is disabled. HT is enabled. I've tried setting my fsb to 200MHz and memory to 400MHz but that doesn't help so overclocking isn't the problem. I'm not overclocking the video card now and never have.
I'd like to go back to an older bios to see if that fixes my problem but I don't know how. I made a bootable dos disk in Windows XP but it can't see my NTFS C: so I can't access the bios files at c:/test.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

After going back to bios 1.8 things seem to be stable for longer than with 1.9. Screensavers still lock up after a couple hours and that never happened previously. I used to leave the computer on while I was at work and when I got back the screen saver would still be going. Now when I get home the screen is black and I have to reboot. Tonight I noticed that it wasn't just solid black. It blinked between black as in no video and a dark grey color. I was watching a movie so I didn't bother getting up to restart it. It continued blinking for a while and then my lcd put up an error saying "This video mode is not supported."
I've tried both a Radeon 9600 Pro and 9700 Pro and reinstalled Windows XP and all of the latest drivers. I've set my processor back to 200MHz and set the mem to 2.8 volts and the vcore to 1.6. Still the system is not stable and I'm out of ideas. I would agree that it could be the Radeon 9700 since ATI says there is an incompatiblity but since my Radeon 9600 doesn't work in this system either I don't think that is the problem. I don't know if the motherboard is at fault or if the problem lies in a faulty component. Any advise will be appreciated. All I can think to do is start replacing parts one part at a time until I have a stable system. I think I'll start by replacing the motherboard.

Hi David,
This video card has a know problem with the Intel 865 chipset. The only ati cards that work have to have a serial # with -30 at the end or higher or they will not work. Because this card is discontinued our supplier cannot gaurantee a -30 card as a replacement. We can only exchange for a different item within the first 15 days so the only thing I can suggest is to see if you have a friend that may want to buy the card as there is probably nothing wrong with it and then buy another one. Any of the new 9600 or 9800 series don't have this problem. If you have any other questions let me know. Thanks alot.
Ryan
I have now read in CPU Magazine a much More extensive article, and they are saying that they will release more incompatability numbers soon .......Sean REILLY875
It isn't serial numbers that end with a -30 but rather product numbers. I found the info online on how to determine if your card is compatible. The product number on my card does end with a -30 so it is compatible. Also this isn't just so with the 865pe chipset, it also applies to the 875p chipset.

After installation of adobe flashplayer ver.15 in add-ons manager apperars plugin shockwave flash 15.0.0.189 - and non flash games works

After update of Nightly to ver 36. appears problem with flash animation/games
Downloaded (from adobe.com) and installed adobe flash player ver.15.0.0.189 appears in list of plug-ins as "Shockwave player 15.0.0.189" - and non flash animation(games) works.
Already uninstall all AD-blocking software, repeatedly restart comp after installation adobeflash - nothing helps

You got the terms and version wrong in first reply.
The first link is to Shockwave player (not flash) and version is 12.1.3.153
and second is indeed Flash player but at version 15.0.0.189.
The Shockwave player is not used much (and there is not even a plugin for Linux) so don't bother with it.

2 month old GE620 has been locking up during non-damanding games for 3-6 seconds

The games that I have tried so far are Heroes of Might and Magic V through Steam and Asheron's Call. After roughly 5 minutes of playing the screen will randomly lock up for a good 3-6 seconds whenever it feels like it. Sometimes it does it often and sometimes it does it every once and a while. I called MSI tech support and the operator told me to run system restore. I ran system restore and I am still having the problem. I am usually at 10% or less memory usage and around 64C at peak times. The computer now has almost nothing instlaled on it besides what it came with and Ventrillo/ Steam/ Asheon's Call. Please help, I'm at the point where I'm looking into what I can do about calling in the warranty on this thing but I would rather not if there is some way I can fix this.

hi dude, i think is overheat, i just bought my GE620 2 week, i play dota ad the temperature could heat up to 70C and even more high, furmark cloud heat up to 95C...i open is and found that GE620 isn't using copper of conduct for graphic card...

About to buy a Mac Pro: best Processor speed to get for non-graphics user.

I'm currently running a dual processor 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 1.5 GHz SDRAM. It's almost four years old.
The time has come to buy myself a Mac Pro; 8-core, I think!
Am I right that I'll experience greater speed if I add memory to 4 GB than if I buy the 3.0 GHz (or even the 3.2 GHz) version?
I don't do a lot of graphics and no games; but I do want speed.
What kind of performance boost will I see with 3.0 (or 3.2) over:
1 - What I have now (2 GHz PPC), and
2 - Over the 2.8 GHz Mac Pro?
Thanks for anyone else's experiences!

try and convince you?
i just erased my answer to you after rereading your last post.
not only are you going to use FCP and other demanding apps, but you are starting a business. Thats the clincher, at least would be for me.
it's one thing to settle for more time waiting for the machine to complete tasks, its quite another, when you have one eye on the clock counting the seconds left on this task and that task, because you have 5 clients who all wanted finished product on the same friday afternoon, and can i make it, and whats that beach ball now want, will i lose them as future clients, will they want their money back, and oh, i wish i had gotten the 8-core machine....
don't assume you're business might stay small, one project at a time type thing. One 200 person wedding might have 5 in the planning stages of their own wedding and they'll all take your name down without you knowing it until 5 days before their ceremony and their planned videographer is in the hospital and could you pleeease help us out....
for all we know, you are going to repost in this forum announcing to all of us that you just bought two more macpro 3.2ghz with 32g ram so your two employees can work...

A55M-P33 and support for non-graphics cards in PCI-e x16 slot.

Does this motherboard support using an LSI raid card in the x16 slot, or does it only support graphics cards? I am building an Unraid box and would like to use the slot for an x4 or x8 raid adapter in IT mode.
Thanks Matt

Well wait around and see if anyone else post's but if you do a quick search of pcie raid controller you will find varying results. All the results I found were with Intel boards though so all I can say is no guarantees.
This is Msi's official response for raid cards:
Quote
PCI-Ex4 RAID cards are designed and tested to work with Server/Workstation mainboards. Therefore MSI does not test server/workstation products with our desktop mainboards.
Please contact the PCI-Ex4 RAID card supplier for compatibility.
You can try to contact msi, but I assume they will tell you this.
>>How to contact MSI.<<
I have also heard some no so hot things about LSI service, I can however vouch for Adaptec's service, so you might want to contact both and see if they have tested and combinations.

Non native games on intel iMac 17"?

Hi,
I'm awaiting delivery of a 17" intel iMac with 1gb of ram. I have a number of games that i believe don't have patdhes to run on the intel machines and wondered if anyone knows how they run> Here's the list:
CALL OF DUTY
HALO
FORD RACING 2
MEDAL OF HONOUR
THE INCREDIBLES
ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR 2
RAINBOW 6
I also have unreal o4, doom3 and quake 4 but i believe these have patches. Also, how bad is the hit for Photoshop under Rossetta?
Cheers.

Hi,
here is a link with info on the performance of games running under Rosetta:
