Please Help me in my game career

Hi,
I have completed my graduation. I am very much interested in developing games. I have developed some 2d games using java and i am crazy about playing games. Now i want to start my career in game development by programming in Java. Can any one please help me how to approach for my goal.Currently developed one small game now wats my next step can i switch to java 3d games or J2ME. Please help me about my career.....Waiting for your reply...

I have found a much more heinous malady that seems to becoming more and more prevalent in the industry today, that is:
Hiring a young wannabe and drain the life out of them with overtime, no pay, with the promise of getting experience; and yet, when called to ask for a reference and explanation of what the intern did, they say, "..just some occasional basic entry stuff anyone could do."
That comes across to me as an interviewer as--he did some light computer related tasks and nothing note worthy. My team is still going to have to coddle him and we'll be a year or more bringing him up to do some of the most basic tasks--truely still entry level.
But in reality the intern did a huge amount of coding for them, in many cases actually took the place of an experienced programmer--this intern is not being paid on top of all of this--and developed an application or portions of an application that the company expects to make sizable profits--the intern does not share in the profits like everyone else, they volunteered to do this for the experience--and then they only get a marginal recomend while the company has padded their profits long into the future with significant aid from the inter's genius and diligent labors.
I have never seen an "internship" that had "unpaid" associated with it in the technical field--Computer Science and Engineering--that was worth it and didn't turn out to be a scam on the part of the "employer" to get a lot of work done for free. Even 20+ years ago, an intern made a decent wage when working in a technical field.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Graphics Driver/ Card Issue- PLEASE HELP!

    Please help!
    I play games on my laptop and since about a week ago every time I try to play my games I get a Blue Screen after about 2 minutes of gameplay. 
    My BlueScreen says the following:
    BCCode: 116
    BCP1:      FFFFFA800D7BE0C0
    I made sure that my drivers are up to date and my computer is "cleaned out", but it still doesnt work.
    Why hasnt HP updated their drivers since 2011!? Many people have this issue with no solutions known. I am about to sell this laptop and buy a different more reliable brand. 

    Hi K3lly1313, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand that you are getting Bluescreen errors after a few minutes of gameplay.
    To provide more accurate troubleshooting, I will need to know more information about your setup. What is the model or product number of your DV6? What version of Windows is installed? Please use the following guides if you need help finding that information:
    Guide to finding your product number
    Which Windows operating system am I running?
    Is the error happening in one specific game, or multiple games? What game(s)?
    I look forward to your response.

  • I need help on a maze game...

    I need to create a maze game, consist of a 14x18 grid that contains various obstacles. At the beginning of the game, the player is positioned at the upper left-hand corner of the grid. Each space of the board may have one of the following items in it: an immovable block, a moveable block, a bomb, or nothing. The items in the game have the following behavior:
    1. The player is controlled by the user. The player may move up, down, left, or right.
    2. An empty space is empty. Anything may move into an empty space.
    3. An immovable block cannot move. Nothing may move the grid space that an immovable block occupies.
    4. A moveable block can be pushed by the user. It cannot be pushed off of the grid. It cannot be pushed onto a space that an immovable block occupies. A movable block can be pushed into a space that is occupied by another moveable block provided that the second moveable block can move in turn.
    5. A bomb space looks just like an empty space, however it's behavior is quite different. Only when something moves into its space does it become visible. If a player moves into the space, the bomb explodes, killing the player. If a moveable piece is moved into a bomb space, the bomb becomes visible. The bomb will still be active, meaning a player will still want to avoid this grid location.
    The goal of the game is for the player to move from the upper left-hand corner to any grid location in the rightmost column. The player is moved by the input entered by the user.
    So far, I have succesfully made the Simple console input for this game. The source code is as following.

    Would someone please help me on this game...

    More information about this game:
    The game should generate a random obstacle course for the player. The first column of the grid, however, should consist of all empty pieces, with the exception of the upper left-hand corner, which is the grid location where the player initially resides.
    Enter a loop in which the following things happen (not necessarily in this order):
    Print the current board configuration. Additionally, a key should be printed describing what each piece is.
    Get an action from the user. The player can move up, down, left, or right. Use the following controls: up = 'i', down = 'm', left = 'j', right = 'k'. The player can move at most one block at a time. Of course, if the player tries to move into a spot occupied by an immovable block, the player will not move.
    Inform the player whether they have won, or if they have lost (a player loses if they step on a bomb piece).
    If the player types 'q', the game should terminate.
    I am still stuck on this maze generator stuff.... Please help me....

  • Please Help.... IEEE 1394

    Just brought an IPOD nano ma4777zt/a (don't understand 2nd generation / click wheel ?)
    and my PC runs Windows XP home Edition
    loaded itunes onto my computer by clicking download on web site Itunes 7
    Once complete connected ipod via cable and I've got the message
    "No IEEE 1394 Host controller found"
    Searched for 8 hours & nothing seems to have worked
    Please help !!!!

    Carefully check the bottom dock connector for any bent over pins or something in there shorting pins together. A magnifying glass would be a help.
    The Firewire data pins on the dock connector are right next to some power pins and if you get a short between them, it can fool the iPod into thinking there is data coming in on the Firewire pins and it will give you Firewire related error messages.
    For that matter, be sure to carefully check the Dock end of the USB cable for the same sort of problems. It would be help if you can find, beg, borrow, another USB cable, even if you just go to a local electronics store that sells iPods and see if you can test your iPod with one of their cables. Obviously if it doesn't give you the message on a different cable, then your cable is the issue. If you still get the message, then likely it is your iPod itself.

  • Please help, I don't know WHAT is wrong......... (games troubleshooting)

    OK, so one night I was playing the game Lode Runner, Bejeweled, and Pacman. It was fully charged. I played until 10% was left. Then, I set it on my iHome. The next night, I can't get the game to fit the screen. Like a 1/2 in. from the left if you have the click wheel in your right hand. I turned it off for 24 hours and that didn't work. I need your help. Only the games I bought do that. Not the others, just those. Please help.

    I got it fixed, so if it ever happens to you, restore your iPod at the iPod page under Summary.

  • I have to update all my application in my App Store however they are asking for the credit card details since this is to update only. Even to download some free games still they are asking my credit card details since it is a free. Please help me..

    I have 11 updates in my App Store but every time I click the update they ask first my apply ID that would be fine but after they will ask my credit card details since this is only to update. Please help me.
    Also, even I would like to download some games it's ok to ask for our Apple ID but in the second time they will ask for the credit card details. Please help me

    My younger brother had the same problem. You have to go into settings, app store, details and then change your credit card details to none. If there is no none option, you will have to use a different apple id.

  • TS1702 My millionaire and friends game won't load onto my iPad or iPhone 5? It was working in the beginning but now it won't even load. I have restarted my device & deleted and reinstalled the app several times and it still won't load? Please help

    Millionaire and friends game not loading! Please help! I have tried restarting the device & deleting the app and trying to reload but nothing works? I also tried to email the creators of the app but the email address for tech support bounced back to me so its obviously not a good email??

    I tried to email the developer (Canada) but the email for technical support is not a good email. My email got returned to me undeliverable? Not sure what to do next? I also want to get the game going again cause I made purchases to get more coins to play the game & now I can't even use it? Very frustrating!!!

    Hi Shreyansh,
    If u r good in ABAP its not necesary to do certification.Certifcation are helpful tp promote you and add an extra edge.

    This is bloody ridiculous. You want somebody to do your work for you, you can't be bothered to carry on a discussion here and ask for private email, and you expect somebody else to make your urgency (i.e. lousy time management) their problem. You got big brass ones, kid.

  • Various problems in certains games.... please help me guys

    Hi, I have a weird problem when I start up Pacific Fighters and Chronicles of Riddick.
    The thing is, the game takes at least 15 minutes to open and when using the Caps Lock key, the green button on the keyboard takes quite some time to enlighten because the PC lags badly, so is the sound. In PF, the music is terribly affected when this bug occurs.
    This happens about the 1/5 of the time I try to boot the game and the only ways to fix the problem is to:
    1) Simply restart the computer;
    2) Set the computer to sleep mode and then, come back to the game.
    All of my games and my drivers are up to date and something important I'd like you to know is:
    When the game boots normally, I can play easily up to 3 hours without any problem. Right now, I have about 15 games installed on my PC. Just to numerate a few, I have Far Cry, Half-Life 2 and never encountered any problem with these games.
    On the other hand, Battlefield 2, when trying to connect to the server, will freeze and then again, the Caps Lock light on my keyboard will have problem to open (So that shows that the PC lags a lot) and then, it will de-freeze and the game says that I was disconnected from the server (That's quite normal, I've been inactive for 30 seconds). Yet, after returning to the game, the PC isn't completly in its original shape as when using the Teamspeak program, I can hear the others talking but their voice is quite sluggish and skipped every 5 seconds. The sound does the exact same thing in Pacific Fighters when it freezes (It goes mostly as follow: Clack clack clack clack, you know what I mean?)
    If someone, please, knows why I have this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have above 15 000pts in 3Dmarks 03 and my global performance on my PC is very good, except for this annoying bug.
    In BF2, I didn't encounter any problem before, so I don't understand...
    I have a
    -Amd athlon 64 3000+ venice @ 40 degres in ful load
    -Asus A8N-E @ lastest bios + driver 6.70 @ 38 degres in full load
    -Msi NX7800GT @ 81.85 driver @ 45 degres in full load
    -Soundblaster live 24bits

    I also want to precise that in BF:V, this is the only vehicle that is bugged like this..

  • I get problem loading page (error 404) it says the page cannot be found when i try to access the game Mobsters through my mysapce account and i cannot access it no longer through firefox and i want to find out why i cant, can you guys please help?

    == This happened ==

    == i try to access mobsters game through myspace

    I dont understand the answer
    '''''""The problem can be solved by opening FF and choosing Tools...Add On's...select the SEARCH addon and choose UNINSTALL...restart FF browser when asked, then reload Mobsters. This worked for me. The suggestion on the 404 that says to remove Search via Add/Remove Programs is completely BS, as Search doesnt show there. ""'''''
