What makes a game fun? I'm programming a game for a school project with an idea that I've never played before. It has a bit to do with learning, and music. My game might take a lot of practice to get the hang of, and afterwards, a very useful skill should be learned by the...

[Python] Realtime midi sound play? I'm preparing for my new game project, and I'm most likely going to use Python + Pygame as I find it quite easy to do what I like. But I intend on using sound as a part of the gameplay, and have basically a freeplay piano within the game. I don'...

[Java] Easiest to set up database? My head has been spinning because I've procrastinated way too much on a project due by 3pm tomorrow. I need some easy way of saving and loading information with Java. I've looked into ODBC or JDBC with little success as most of it has to do with...

First Game. Advice required. Over the next year, I'll be working on my first game that I will complete, polish and let other people play. It's for school, but I'm doing it to help myself progress and learn with programming. I'm not a newbie; I know C, and am currently takin...

[Java] Merge Sort I'm having trouble getting my merge sort to work. I get runtime errors. Not sure where I went wrong. // ****** // Merge // ****** static Data[] Merge(Data array[]) { int array_size = a...

[Java] Unsure on an array of methods We're learning simple ways of doing a database, and as of now we are doing it using an array of methods. public static class Data { public String name; public int age; public String gender; Data(String...

Forum Addiction I've read all of these articles which were posted here in the lounge before. After finishing those, I noticed that they were all or mostly written by Steve Pavlina. So I visited his site and he had some more articles to read. They are all just as hel...

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome I've been constantly clicking my wrists in a way that everyone sees as insane for a few years now. It's felt normal and a big relief to my hands. Ever since I've been working heavier in any kind of development on the computer, it has been gettin...

What to use instead of GLUT? I haven't used a computer much in the past month, and have instead been reading up on my OpenGL Redbook. Before I started, I didn't think I would use the AUX libraries, so I picked up some GLUT tutorials. I only soaked up the basics on...

What makes a game fun? Well its an obscure talent that probably 1/500 people you'll meet will actually have. The games challenge will be in trying to achieve "Absolute Pitch", where you can identify the pitch of any tonal sound. So I'm not going to make it a violent game o...

[Python] Realtime midi sound play? Thats a good idea. Hmm. Looking at some samples of how this works out, it looks easy enough. And of course I could get midi working in the way I want with C++. Thanks, I'll try this out for the day, and hopefully settle on it as it seems to be t...

Would you like prison with your fries? The thing that I find to be the worst about this story is that there was an undercover officer watching a subway. I doubt he was looking for drug deals or bums pissing themselves. That guy had to have been there to enforce the new easy-collar arrest...

[Python] Realtime midi sound play? The music module is only for streaming music. I need to be able to play two things at once, like pressing two keys on a piano, or three, or four or five. I could make recordings for each key in wav or Vorbis form... but then that compl...

[Java] Easiest to set up database? The only java file operations I've used (or know of) are the FileOutputStream/FileInputStream classes in java.io. I know they're probably the most basic ones but they are a little annoying to setup. I don't have any of my past classes that...

[Java] Easiest to set up database? Could you please elaborate janta, because I've been up for nearly 26 hours and will be up for another 9 in order to finish this and hand it in (I know its better to sleep, but this the only deciding factor: fail or pass). I think I've been terri...

[Java] Easiest to set up database? Hrm, that seemed a little complicated for my time available, but thanks for the pennies. I found this little tutorial by searching some of your advice which hopefully will turn out to work easily. http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~rkline/mysql-java-win.htm...

Music that makes you feel CALM...... Music that you enjoy makes you calm. There is no master key. Grow some tastebuds.
