What prog language/tools for a browser based online game ?

I am going to start a project for an multiplayer online game community soon, and need some advice.
The community will consist of the game itself, forum, wiki and irc-chat and use f/oss software to keep the running costs as low as possible.
The game is the heart of the community and will be a turn-based wargame with roleplaying and strategy options, mainly text based with some graphics and animations and played through a browser. (These kind of games are often referred to as Multiplayer Online RolePlaying game MORPG )
The SQL player database will have up to approx 100k player records, each of which will have many fields.
The game code will run 24/7 on a linux server (distro not chosen yet) and needs to fulfill these requirements :
easily maintanable by multiple programmers
programmers should be able to develop/test parts of the code on their own pc's using linux or windows.
good, fast access to the player DB
combat calculations will be mathemically complicated, and need to be fast
User interaction will be through a web-page
A way to keep users from accessing the game code directly to avoid computer players. (it's possible this has more to do with the code structure than with the language)
Most games of this type seem to use a php/ C combination, but that appears to have several drawbacks.
Specifically code maintainability and distinguishing between humans and bots/computer players are a problem for these games.
What environment do you think would fulfill these requirements ?
P.S. if this is to theoretical, check out these links to see some similar games :
Lords of Legend
Ogame

i think java could be a good choice for the programminglanguage. Most computer have the JVM installed already...

What are the tools for GAP Analysis.

What are the tools for GAP Analysis.

Hi
GAP Analysis :
A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how the business operates ad its needs against what the package can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be closed and customised software can be developed close the gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be closed.
In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In information technology, gap analysis is the study of the differences between two different information systems or applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital role in blue print stage.
Please search, there are many threads and many times discussed this topic.

Annotation or highlight tool for browser...Blackberry passport
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi!
Can you expand more on what you'd like to see when it comes to annotation?
As per highlighting, are you referring to the ability to select text? If so, you can do this now
To do it, tap and hold a word or sentence you'd like to copy for a few seconds and text selections will appear allowing you select text followed by copying it. Thanks!

Radius authentication for the browser-based webtop

Hiya all,
With help of the radius-authentication module for apache (http://www.freeradius.org/mod_auth_radius/) and web-authentication it is possible to use radius-authentication for the classic-webtop. Has anyone got Radius authentication working for the browser-basedwebtop?
SSGD version:
Sun Secure Global Desktop Software for Intel Solaris 10+ (4.30.915)
Architecture code: i3so0510
This host: SunOS sgd1.<removed> 5.10 Generic_118855-36 i86pc i386 i86pc
I have the radius-module running for authentication of a single directory with the apache-config-lines:
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.(cab|jar|gif|der)$" sgd_noauth_ok
<LocationMatch "/secure">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from env=sgd_noauth_ok
AuthName "Radius authentication for SGD"
Authtype Basic
AuthRadiusAuthoritative on
AuthRadiusCookieValid 540
AuthRadiusActive On
Require valid-user
Satisfy any
</LocationMatch>
When changing the line <LocationMatch "/secure"> to <LocationMatch "/sgd"> the browser asks for a authentication and then a 'Not Found' page is being displayed.
When using the config-lines from http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6255/webauth_config_browser.html the login-page is being displayed normally and SSGD works.
The main difference I can find between the location /secure and /sgd is: /secure is a simple directory and /sgd is a JkMount to Tomcat.
Changing the JkLogLevel to debug gives the following info in the JkLogFile:

Any help will be usefull since I am allready stuck on this problem for a couple of days :(
Thanks,

I got response from the Fat Bloke on the mailing list.
Adding the following line in the apache httpd.conf seams to help and resolved my problem:
Alias /sgd "/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/5.0.28_axis1.2final_jk1.2.8/webapps/sgd"
Thanks The Fat Bloke !!

These instructions are for a 4.2 SGD installation using SGD's third
party web authentication with mod_auth_radius.so (www.freeradius.org).
With 4.2 Sun didn't distribute enough of the Apache configured tree
to enable the use of axps to build the mod_auth_radius module, 4.3 is
better - Sun now install a modified axps and include files, I haven't
tried this with 4.3 yet though.
I built the mod_auth_radius module for Apache 1.3.33 (shipped with 4.2)
So, this is how we got this working with Radius (tested with SBR
server and freeradius.org server.)
Install SGD in the usual way.
Enable 3rd party authentication:
According to:
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-4309-10/en-us/base/standard/
webauth_config_browser.html
Configure the Tomcat component of the Secure Global Desktop Web
Server to
trust the web server authentication. On each array member, edit the
/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/version/conf/server.xml file. Add the
following attribute to the connector element (<Connector>) for the
Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 Connector:
tomcatAuthentication="false"
# cat /opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/5.0.28_axis1.2final_jk1.2.8/
conf/server.xml

<Connector port="8009" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
tomcatAuthentication="false"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="0"
useURIValidationHack="false"
protocolHandlerClassName="org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler"/>
"By default, for security reasons, Secure Global Desktop
Administrators can't
log in to the browser-based webtop with web server authentication.
The standard
login page always displays for these users even if they have been
authenticated
by the web server. To change this behavior, run the following command:"
# tarantella config edit --tarantella-config-login-thirdparty-

Without this, after authenticating via webauth, the user will be

Creating PKGBUILD for palemoon, browser based on firefox

Hi,
I'm relative new Arch user and I haven't done any packaging until today with Pale Moon. It is a web browser based on Mozilla Firefox and it has been build to linux just a while ago. The author of the project gave me permission to submit it to AUR. I would be happy to do it, but I don't have any previous experience with packaging. Could someone check the PKGBUILD that it is correct and adheres the AUR standards? And, anyone interested with more experience is free to take it over.
The project home page is http://palemoon.org
and the linux binaries are at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pm4linux/,
Here is the PKGBUILD file. I used firefox-esr-bin as an example and copied the dependencies from it.

What kind of approach for new XML-based clients

Hi.
Our firm is using Oracle-technology everywhere, and now we would
like to find out what kind of XML-based technology would suit us
best for a new generation of our products.
Our products are now using old Forms 3-clients and we're doing a
research on replacing this technology with Internet-based
clients. Java-clients are one option, but now we'd really like
to know about thin-clients which wouldn't have much code run on
the server. We have already done extranet-clients with OAS
PL/SQL-cartridges and have found out that HTML-clients require
much work and can't have too much logic on them.
So, we have already OAS running on Oracle 8.0.5.1.0 -server and
would like to know what kind of XML-strategy would be a
reasonable solution. I know about these tools: XML Parser for
xx, XML SQL Utility for Java, XSQL Servlet.
-But what would be a reasonable combination of these and what
kind of thin-client could we use? XSL?
-What kind of development tools could we use for clients (or do
we have to use text-editors)?
-Which of these tools require Oracle 8i and is it stupid to even
think about XML-based applications without Oracle 8i?
Thanks,
Perttu Auramo, Network Banking Systems Oy

NO. Have you taken a look at the specs page for Mac Pro?
Or when you go to OWC for Mac Pro Memory.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory

What are useful tools for users with sensory issues?

I have multiple sensory issues, and bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, etc. can be very painful and sometimes incapacitating for me. I worry backup beepers will get me killed.
A lot of websites *including this support website* use flashing animation, noise, etc., triggered automatically, using autoplay, or triggered by trying to scroll past.
I have separate tools to disable autoplay, to disable animated gifs, etc. I can't understand why (a) Firefox enables these misfeatures and (b) Firefox doesn't include one built-in tool to disable these.

I have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, proprioception, and some other stuff. I don't have colorblindness.
I also have a fix to use bigger font sizes to reduce eyestrain. I tried using zoom, but too many websites broke with zoom, it kept reverting, etc. If nosquint does zoom better than the default, nosquint might help with that.
But... I still have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, and a lot of other stuff everywhere and online, and I still need fixes ...and I also need people to stop beating me to the ground, but that's beyond Firefox.

I have done my video on FCP6 and now I would like very much to upload to YouTube. Is the a How to do it?
I think the compressor will be my best option, but I don't have a clue how to do it? Is there a Step by step? Or something?
Thanks for all the help lately.
PS: This is what YouTube recommend. My audio is a .CAf from Sound.T.P. And I'm working with Pal 25/Frames per sec.
We recommend the following settings:
MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format
640x480 resolution (* most updated recommendation)
MP3 audio
30 frames per second
Resizing your video to these specifications before uploading will help your videos look better on YouTube.

Here's what many would consider the definitive guide,

What is the method for folder-browsing and selecting a non media file type in Android? [Air+AS3]

Dear Gurus,
Being a newbie, I have been searching hi & low for the method to browse and select non-media related file type in android.
Besides the following these which I have reference from the AS3 Documentation (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7fe4.html#WS5b3cc c516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a4c56-7ff0)
var fileToOpen = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("");
                              selectFile(fileToOpen);
                              function selectFile(root:File):void
                                             //var txtFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter ("3D Model File", "*.obj; *.3ds;*.awd");
                                             root.browseForOpen("Open",null);
                                             root.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectedFile);
                              function selectedFile(e:Event):void
                                             trace(fileToOpen.nativePath + " file selected");
I have went through the following threads yet find no clear workable solution to it. The closest reference is written in Flex MXML, and I have no luck for converting it to AS3 as there are several properties which I can't get it right.

Someone did mention some possible solutions through ANE but it is just too far beyond. Even, the closest on-the-shelf solution of ANE by http://myappsnippet.com/file-browser-air-extension/ only work best to an extent and not truely "native" as the UI is not default from Android. It has workable I/O but poor usability; you can't skin it.
Is there any other workaround solution to this general I/O question? I would love to hear from everyone here.

The short answer to my knowledge is there is nothing you can invoke from AIR to open an OS-level dialog to browse/select a file. All implementations typically are people writing their own browser. They crawl the folders/files recursively and write their own display for the files. You can see a few on SO:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12255418/as3-air-browse-for-file-on-sd-card
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12257626/as3-get-zip-file-on-phone-from-app-file-path-t hen-unzip
It's not to terribly hard to code something like this (especially with that starter code). Otherwise, like you found, an on-the-shelf ANE is the only way I believe you can invoke the Android Intent for a file dialog. At that point skinning won't really be terribly easy given the nature of Android users who are completely allowed to customize their UI top to bottom.
The safest bet is just let that posted code recurse and find the files you tell it to while displaying the list to the user. You can use some pre-written GPU-level lists that you can skin yourself using FeathersUI:
http://www.feathersui.com (uses Starling)
Or you can use one of the Flash Pro List components which will be quite a bit slower being they're not GPU optimized like some Flex Spark components.

What are the tools for doing xslt mapping.

Hi All,
I am doing a a scenario with xslt mapping. Can anybody give be step by step procedure for doing xslt mapping.

Hi Ankur ,
U can use Altova XMLSpy for XSLT Mapping.
See the below links

XSLT Mapping with java enhancement
/people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/06/27/xslt-mapping-with-java-enhancement-for-beginners
Step by Step procedure:
for doing xslt mapping you need to create a .xlst file containing the xslt mapping of source and target data.
U can use Altova XMLSpy for creating .xslt mapping.
Following following steps for executing this mapping.
1. Create Source Data and Target Data Type in IR.
2. Take xml representation of source data and open it into Alto XMLSpy.
3. Create .xsd file for above source xml data.
4. Repeat above two procedure for Target Data.
Now Creating .xslt file you need to Use Alto MapForce.
Steps will be:
1. Open the Alto MapForce. Import the source .xml and .xsd file in it.
2. Similarly import the target .xml and .xsd in the MapForce.
3. You will have both source and target data available in MapForce in similar fashion as you have in IR.
4. Do the graphical mapping using extensive list of functions available there.
5. Save the mapping file.
6. Click the XSLT Tab . You will have the entire .xslt logic there.
6. Copy the above content and save it as .xslt file.
7. Create a jar file for the above .xslt file.
8. Go to IR , Import the .jar file into 'Imported Archive'
7. In Message Mapping , Choose XSLT from drop down box of Message program.
8. Import the jar containing the .xslt file.
9. Test the mapping
