Quote from: SimonH on 2007-12-13 21:21:31 7) I changed to VolatileImage and noticed only a small (but significant) speed increase, but that may just be my rubbish graphics card. I've updated the applet also - is it faster for you now? (even with the Color()s sorted using this has got me back up to 4087 bytes ) Its much smother now on OS X And an alternative key for CTRL could be ALT I think.

Very Fun! I even managed to kill some aliens On OS X 10.5, ctrl+<arrow> is the combination to change the virtual desktop, so when i wanted to fire and steer at the same time my desktop would switch away, which made the game a bit more complicated. So for OS X users with spaces enabled some other key kombination would be great. Since you have 6 spare bytes you could probably add an alternative key for fire and lift. (but not x and y keys, because than I have to complain about german keyboards where the x and z keys are swapped )

got 54 in reverse with a correct comparison c>-1 and 53 with the slightly incorrect one c>0 Was pretty easy to get there.

Barcode 64 bytes:

5

for(int c=1,i=48;c>0;i++)
  if((c=in.read())<99){
    out.write(i);
    i=47;
  }

Sometimes you need to take some time off, to see the simple optimizations

Ouch...

Two new assignments:
http://213.247.55.3:8484/compileandrun/?assignment=capitalizer
http://213.247.55.3:8484/compileandrun/?assignment=barcode

85 bytes for capitalizer, but that has to go shorter...
there are 3 variables in there...
who needs 3 variables anyway?

1 2	for(int c,i=0,s=0; (c=in.read())>0 ; out.write(c-(i++==s & c > 96 & c < 123?32:0))) s =c == 32 ? i+1 : s;

for the barcode thingy 89 bytes

1
2
3
4

int i,c;
for(i=48;(c=in.read())>0;i=c==32?48:i+1)
   if(c==32)out.write(i);
if(i>0)out.write(i);

So lets start that shortening iteration again

Edit:
capitalizer down to 7170:

1 2	for(int c,s=32; (c=in.read())>0;) out.write(s=c-(s==32 & c > 96 & c < 123?32:0));

barcode down to 66 bytes:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

for(int c=1,i=48;c>0;i++){
  c=in.read();
  if(c<99){
    out.write(i);
    i=47;
  }
}

We need no stinking a variable:

1 2	for(int s=1;s>0;s=s*16\|(s=in.read())-(s<58?48:87)) if(s>255){out.write(s);s=1;}

That makes it 77 bytes.

Quote from: Riven on 2007-10-29 00:01:54 Yeah, I saw you moving from 81 to 80 bytes on the server. Then I made a 79 using your version, but I didn't dare to post it, because it felt like cheating. But now that you posted it, all I can say is that I did it slightly different... but you get the credit Would you post your version, just for my enlightment?

Hex:

(81 bytes)

another one bytes the dust: 80 bytes

1 2	for(int a,s=1;s>0;s=s*16\|-((a=in.read())<58?48:87)+a) if(s>255){out.write(s);s=1;}

Edit:

Got another one for 79 bytes

1 2	for(int a,s=1;s>0;s=s*16\|(a=in.read())-(a<58?48:87)) if(s>255){out.write(s);s=1;}

Hehe... then I get 72 bytes too...

and I got 2 solutions:

1
2
3

for(int
r=0,i=0,b=0;r>-1;b=b<<1|(r=in.read())&1)
if(i++%8==0)out.write(b);

1
2
3
4
5
6

for(int
r,i=0,b=0;(r=in.read())>0;)
{
b=b<<1|r&1;
if(++i%8==0)out.write(b);
}

The first is extremely not-done.

My is a bit different:

1
2
3
4
5

for(int
c=0,i=0,x;(x=in.read())>0;c<<=1){
c|=x&1;
if(++i%8<1)out.write(c);
}

And 71 bytes with that:

1
2
3

for(int
r=1,i=0,b=0;r>0;b=b<<1|(r=in.read())&1)
if(i++%8==0)out.write(b);

Quote from: oNyx on 2007-07-13 02:43:16 It's around $100/year. The price is pretty ridiculous for what they are actually offering. There used to be certs for $20/year, which were good enough for Java stuff, but those certificate authorities scrapped em. Yea, right... why should they ask for $20 if they can milk $100 out of you? Verisign, Thawte etc really deserve some regulative slapping. There is also a free certificate that can be used. It won't display your name though, it displays "Thawte Freemail member" instead. But otherwise its a full certificate. See: http://www.dallaway.com/acad/webstart/

Seems the tool now finds fonts on osx, unfortunatly I get a OutOfMemoryError now on load. It happens after loading some fonts. Maybe I have too much fonts on my system?

14	Games Center / WIP games, tools & toy projects / Re: Hiero - Bitmap Font Tool	on: 2007-01-16 10:27:08
Works with OSX 10.4 Intel after adding a font directory manually. OSX stores fonts in /Library/Fonts and /System/library/Fonts and "user.home"/Library/Fonts. Unfortunatly most fonts are not ttf fonts, so I only have 3 fonts in the list. But wth those 3 fonts (Apple Symbols, Euphemia UCAS and Plantagenet Cherokee) its working. There are more ttf files in those directorys, but they don't get loaded. The log says: Unable to process: /System/Library/Fonts/<fontname>.ttf There are some more font directories on osx: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ if X11 is installed, which is not installed by default. And "java.home"/lib/fonts for the java fonts. All those fonts load without errors. I do get a "Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" if I add to much font directorys in one session, though.

Quote from: blahblahblahh on 2006-12-05 16:44:16 I haven't tried JB in years, so I don't know what the benefits would be to using eclipse, but the major features of eclipse such as the refactoring tools will save you hundreds of hours each year no matter what programming you write. People tend to described eclipse's refactoring as "the best" so I'm guessing its probably a bit better than JB? According to this: http://www.borland.com/us/products/jbuilder/index.html Quote Brings JBuilder RAD tools to the Eclipse Open Source platform JBuilder 2007 is build upon Eclipse, so you should get all the refatoring stuff from eclipse and the gui stuff from JBuilder.

markush - Thanks for trying! The error is being caused when it tries to load an image and then convert it to an RGB. When you extracted the files you should have had the 1 jar file and then a few directories.

I'm not at home so I can't view the source code right now. Sad

Did you get an image that said Daughterware when you started the app? It would have had a progress bar below it, indicating what stage it was at.

Yes, it crashes at "setting up audio".

Quote

There should be a directory called dot2dots. Under there would be 4 dirs (one CVS and three others). Inside each dir, except for the CVS one, there would be image files and files which end with a .dot2dot extension. Were those present?

A friend tried it on his Linux box and had to kill his audio server. When the app ran though, the window was 1 pixel or so in size. He could maximize and minimize it, but never saw the actual imagery. I don't think its the same error though.

I do have that 1 pixel window too, but can't maximize it.

Quote I will have to beg to differ with you on the Bethsoft front- I have played a lot of RPGs in my time and nothing else has touched the immersion, freedom and sheer involvement of Morrowind and Daggerfall. I was still playing Daggerfall pretty much up until morrowind arrived, in fact. The best way to wreck a good RPG is to try and make it work on consoles though (see Deus Ex 2 for a classic example of this) - if anything will make the game lame out it will be that. So morrowind is a lame game, in your definition: http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox/177/Elder-Scrolls-III-Morrowind
