Lets get technical

Fallout 3 from Bethesda Games Studio is an action RPG game and is the third game of the fallout series. The game is available for the XBox, PS3 and for the windows and was released last year. Bethesda started the work of fallout in 2004. The game has some adult content and also violence and had chosen to pursue the ESRM rating of M (Mature).

Electroserver rocks. It's simple, easy to use and quick to learn. Smartfoxserver on that other hand is slightly different but if you have worked on ES then working on SFS would not be difficult. SFS has an api for C#, now this is a plus for most people developing apps for windows or mac. Support for Actionscript however is there both for ES and SFS. So this would help game development for online games. Learning curve for ES is low and hence you could speed up in no time. It has got a good API and have a great documentation. And best of all, it is got a good customer support and forum. So my choice would always be on ES.

Ok before I talk let me first show you the list of all operating systems we have had since Microsoft began.

If you try reading a XML file (or any file) inside a folder within the 'Assets' folder using the System.Xml namespace, you may notice that it works withing the Unity standalone application, but not when compiled and run in the web player. To make the file readable in both the Unity stand alone application and the web player do the following 1) Create a Resources folder within the Assets folder. 2) Place the file (say Config.xml) within the Resources folder. 3) And use Resources.Load("Config") to load the file. This would guarantee the file being read in the web player too.

Configuring ElectroServer (4.0) is an easy task for Windows. You just download the setup, install it and run the server. And you also have the admin tool and the UI to tweak and adjust the settings of the server. But not an easy task with MacOSX. Here I would be giving an information about how to configure Electro-Server for the MacOSX. As you know to run ElectroServer 4.0+ you need JVM 1.6 or higher. But SUN does not have a download of JVM 1.6 for MacOSX as Mac decided to bring up its own virtual machine. At this point I hope you must be knowing what ElectroServer is. In simple words it is a server used for developing and configuring multiplayer games and MMOs. For more information kindly visit the Electro Server website . To run the Electro Server in MacOSX, do the following 1) Download the Unix (without JVM) version of the Electro Server. 2) Un-Archive it. And run ElectroServer unix executable file. 3) If you run it, you would probably get an error stating that the required JVM was ...

What we shall do here is the following 1) Create a Midlet 2) Create a Canvas class which implements the threading 3) Load a PNG image 4) Render the image through the thread. Configuration. You would need to download the Netbean IDE. When I did this program the version I had was NetBean IDE 6.1. You can go to their website to download it. It would suite for other programming languages too, including the Set Top Box. The program. The Midlet: Just like an applet for the browser, the midlet is an application running in the mobile platform using J2ME. So to run an application on a mobile device you first need a Midlet class. This is the midlet class. package MyApp; import javax.microedition.midlet.*; import javax.microedition.lcdui.*; public class MyApp extends MIDlet { public void startApp() { MyGameCanvas myApp = new MyGameCanvas(); myApp.start(); Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(d); } } For better understanding I am keeping this class as sm...

This error happens due to a objects not having found a function with that name. The following could the reasons 1) Check that you dont have multiple files in different paths with the same name. One with the function and one without. 2) Check the linkage property in the library for the movieclip. Make sure it points to the correct package and class name. In my case, when I spent two hours trying to troubleshoot this F******** problem,I resolved it using method two. Flash by default creates a class for you if it cannot find the path and was breaking my head trying to figure out what is going on.
