I have all of the code written for a text based game but how big of a leap is it from text to graphics? lets just say a 2d engine. Is this a fairly easy task or would it be a bit of effort? I've never done anything with graphics before and would just like a quick idea of how much of a project is graphics vs functionality.
View 5 RepliesDo you know any game engines or game studios that can make adventure games, for instance in the style of Myst (1st person) or in the style of old Sierra games (3rd person), like King's Quest, Space Quest, etc.?I've seen AGI Studio, but it is too old, I'd like to use more modern graphics (although there is no need for 3D).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI use a program that has 3D graphics everything has a 'laggy' appearance and freezes for short seconds. These programs included any of the games from Ubuntu Software Center, along with other applications such as games ran through Wine(seperate problem).
Things to keep in mind:
-I've downloaded the automatic updates through Ubuntu Software Center.
-I'm fairly new to Ubuntu(still learning).
-Provide as many details in, if, you post a possible solution.
-I'm only using Ubuntu 10.10 as my OS, no dual-boots with Windows or any other OS.

I just got a graphics card ATI installed on my fedora 10. I would like to see the functioning of the same with some kind of game. Any suggestions for game under fedora 10 to see the graphics application.

I am wondering if pthread could make that a single thread keeps the "mutex" all the time if the time it remains unlocked is very small.
thread1
{
while (1)
{
lock; do_task(); unlock();
[code]...
I experiment the thread2 never getting access to the mutex and never printing the nice message. I would expect that once thread2 calls "lock", it would get the mutex as soon as thread1 calls unlock() but it does not seem to be the case. If I add a sleep of some microseconds (100) in thread1 after unlocking the mutex, it solves the problem.
Does anyone know if this behaviour is normal? Is there a way to configure my mutex so that thread2 receives it when unlocked?I use
pthread_mutexattr_settype(&att, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP);
pthread_mutex_init(&handle, &att);
to create my mutex. I am running ubuntu 9.04
I want to capture short randomly occurring events such as Sudden Interstellar Disturbances, Lightning, ion counting, etc. To do this I wish to use the LINE-IN port. My sensor would feed a signal of less that 2 volts but could be submitted via a voltage divider. Since the sound card captures 44100 events per second this should capture events I am looking at, I think, but maybe not. I would capture the sound buffer to a string or memory buffer every second (and half second so I can prevent overwriting of its buffer, then merge the two).
Every 60 seconds (for validation) I would run "time" and count full buffer transfers in between to time events. By effectively counting characters from the beginning of the processing buffer to the beginning of the event I could further refine the "time to event". I think I could then save a decent number of values or until no data received from the processing buffer to preserve the event. This I would output with event time (to within 1/44100 sec) along with the data points captured to a file.
Except for the outputting of info to a file I think I can scan a buffer for events within a second (while LINE-IN continues capturing data on that port). I believe I have a way to handle the outputting. I am asking if any of the processing of the previous buffer would interfere with the sound cards data capture on LINE-IN? There would be no disabling of interrupts. I am presuming that system interrupts would not effect the LINE-IN data capture. Is this true?
how can I store the output of (ty to colucix for this line)
Code:
xprop -id $(xprop -root | awk '/_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW(WINDOW)/{print $NF}') | awk '/_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL)/{print $NF}'
in a variable and then pass the value of that variable to the kill command as the PID to kill?
This game is Java based. After rebooting the game works, but on ending the game several notification boxes remain. If these boxes are not closed in the reverse order that the game opened them, it is no longer possible to close them. Only by killing the Java processes can these notifications be made to close. Also after playing the game, even if all these notifications are closed it is many times necessary to kill the Java process(es) in order to get the game to load again at a later time. I am currently using Slackware 1.30, but a similar problem has existed in several of the past releases.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been working on this console-based game (in c) in which the player walks around touches floating orbs which do things etc. And I want to make it so that an object on the map blocks the sight of the player, which is something I haven't tried until now. This is the part of the code which handles this sort of thing :
void uncover(int shadow)
{
int wp,
hp,
xp,
yp,
pp, // point placement
mp, // maximum pp value // (that's what she said)
lp; // light placement .....
This <works> but isn't very nice. What I would like to do is to change the third to last if statement, which is really more of a geometry problem, which could be frased as :
given points (x,y) , (plist[pp].x,plist[pp].y) and (wp,hp) create a conditional which tests weather or not point (wp,hp) is within the shadow cast by light-source (x,y) being blocked by an object at (plist[pp].x,plist[pp].y), [with some width, ~1]
but there isn't a geometry forum, and it's somewhat more related to programming.

My boss is looking to use Linux for an embedded device that will require some 2D graphical output. Ideally I'd want to do this without the use of X.
Ideally what we are looking for is something that is easy to program for and could execute without initializing an x-windows system. If we do need to program inside of X what would be the best approach for creating a full-screen dedicated 2D interface?

My question is how to dowload all these in interface folder instead of downloading one by one? Tried googling but no success.
I'm used to write simple programs on codeblock which run on consle. i.e.console applications. When I try to compile programs which need graphic features, I get stuck as many libraries 9especially header files) are not in MINGW/include folder so I have to search on the net and add those files into include. My question is, by default, to enable graphics features on code block which "folder" should I download and incorporate it into codeblock? I tried to follow examples on glut, opengl, that is you have to download glut and add it somewhere on codeblock. Now I just want to have graphics functionality especially which need graphics.h file, searched on the net and find that sometime you have to download BGI, sometimes you have to download SDL, etc.
I hope you get the picture of what I'm trying to understand, it seems that by default codeblock doesn't come with graphic functionality e.g.graphics.h file, now what shall I download, and where do I add it so that I can draw graphs etc on codeblock. [codeblock has /include folder in C: Program FilesCodeBlocksMinGWinclude], now whenever I download new feature e.g. glut has its own version of include, lib folders etc. Is it necessary to add those include, lib on inlude, lib of C:Program FilesCodeBlocksMinGW? or it should work on its own original path? suppose I download glut on C:Program FilesCodeBlocksGlut. Now, what folder should I download to have graphics on codeblock?...
So I wanted to use R's graphics to visualize information, but when I typed
Code: Select alldemo (graphics::graphics), R's built-in introduction to its graphics, the separate window opened up with no graphics, and the terminal returns

I have the core Jessie packages for R, so I don't think that is the issue.
