And if you actually want your server to run stable, don't go with the cheapest one. Linode is one I can recommend.

IIRC Eclipse does this automatically if you start the program in debug mode.

What works for me is calling setSize and setPreferredSize both with same value.

Maybe the hardware graphics acceleration is enabled on your computer but not on your friend's

It does work. Initializing generic array however doesnt (T[]) which is probably what you meant.

LibGDX sounds like a perfect choice then. It abstracts model loading and even mdl animation (+ tons of other things) but allows you to use opengl where-ever you want.

Are you having performance problems with the current solution?

Runs too fast to really see what's going. You should probably limit updates per second Also my balls(squares?) sometime flew outside the window and I couldn't finish the level. Otherwise promising looking game

    public interface State extends KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener{
        public void next(Graphics g);   //I'm not allowed to call it Update for some reason  :(
        //Probably because of a collision with the built in function in Swing with the same name
    }

And then just register the current state as a listener and you won't have to pass events through to the current state in your state handling code. Wink

Whaaat. I didn't know interfaces can extend multiple interfaces. Life quality improved!

11	Java Game APIs & Engines / OpenGL Development / Re: Vertex Array - beginner problem	on: 2012-02-01 09:30:38
You probably missed the vertex array..

12	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Tile Map Distortion? Or just general screen distortion?	on: 2012-01-30 21:25:59
Do you use lwjgl, slick or java2d? Shaders would probably do the job.

14	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Checking arrays equal	on: 2012-01-29 20:38:15
Probably because its a multidimensional array and Arrays.equals is therefore comparing int[] array references. You could for loop through first dimension and use Arrays.equals on each second dimension array.

15	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: problems with animation	on: 2012-01-24 21:49:07
Unable to check the applet but I'm fairly sure the problem is that you're not using double buffering. Luckily its fairly easy to implement

16	Game Development / Game Mechanics / Re: Simple AI Programming	on: 2012-01-22 21:56:15
Position += Velocity For path finding you should probably look up A*. There is this tutorial (for tile based maps though) on kevglass's site http://cokeandcode.com/index.html?page=tutorials/tilemap2

17	Game Development / Game Play & Game Design / Re: Very slow start up	on: 2012-01-21 23:21:38
Ah crap, somehow misread that they are static. They're loaded in constructor then

18	Game Development / Game Play & Game Design / Re: Very slow start up	on: 2012-01-21 23:00:21
Because the images are loaded in a static initializer block before the gui is shown. You could just load them locally instead of downloading from internet

public void menuInit()
{
   for (Boulder b : boulders) boulders.remove(b);

I didn't download the sources but if the loop looks like that you could use boulders.clear() instead of that.

22	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Extremely confusing NoClassDefFoundError problem	on: 2012-01-02 14:01:46
Eclipse somehow stops compiling classes in specific project for some weird reason (have had it a couple of times and only way to fix it was to make a new project and copy sources to it) Maybe check the errors view of eclipse because they might prevent compiling yet keep old classes there. Edit: didn't read you confirmed the subclass files are there. Hmm, no idea then :/

Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Re: Sound Blocking Problem

on: 2012-01-01 11:27:48

That's not a thread. You're just calling a method normally. To make it run in a thread replace

1	soundManager.run()

with

1	new Thread(soundManager).start();

That's not an optimal solution though because you load sounds from a file everytime you play them, thus generating massive IO traffic. Instead you should cache SoundManagers beforehand and use single instances of them from the main logic thread. And if you for some reason (there are pretty much none) decide to go with threaded way, at least use thread pools.

25	Games Center / Cube World Projects / Re: VBOs not working	on: 2011-12-03 14:53:13
Okay solved this in IRC with assistance from ra4king and MatthiasM! In case someone in distant future reads this you need to flip the buffer as ra4king said and the VBO size must be in bytes.

Games Center / Cube World Projects / VBOs not working

on: 2011-12-03 14:18:00

So I tried to get VBOs to work but it doesn't render anything and I couldn't find anything being the noob I am Shocked

Here's the code for rendering a box

You're probably gonna have to use some shady Runtime.exec implementation then which is bad because debugging becomes a pain and screen just werks.

28	Game Development / Networking & Multiplayer / Re: [Kryonet] Client Listener does not react	on: 2011-11-21 07:32:14
You should name your class to something else than Connection, because at the moment the received method doesn't override anything because Listener class doesn't obviously have corresponding method for receiving your Connection objects This is why suppressing warnings is bad if you don't know what they mean.

So I stumbled upon this OpenGL benchmarking test that uses LWJGL. http://www.have2chat.net/benchmark I'm particularly interested in how was the particle swing made. It looks awesome and fairly easy to replicate but I'm not sure how.

Quote from: pjt33 on 2011-10-29 17:02:44 Quote from: theagentd on 2011-10-29 08:29:12 Is that a freely available obfuscator or something they wrote themselves? It's Jagex. Everything is in-house except javac. The obfuscator is a source-to-source compiler, which was harder to build than JL235 thinks - and if you think it would be easy, try reading the entire JLS. That's strange because their string obfuscation is pretty much the same as Zelik klassmaster's. Also I really doubt it's source-to-source because most decompilers don't work with rs at all. And kappa, proguard only obfuscates names and occasionally optimizes bytecode and that is very easy to bypass and make recompilable.
