  • Where to get sounds for game development for kids [closed]

    - by at.
    I'm teaching kids to program using Ruby and the gaming framework Gosu/Chingu. For the sounds for their games I've been showing them http://www.bfxr.net/. It's decent, but the samples are limited and some of them are pretty cheap (check the explosion, it's like an explosion on a commodore 64 game). Is there an easy resource kids can get the sounds they want? I'm happy to pay some kind of educational license for it.

  • What languages are the kids of today actually programming in? Does anyone have real data?

    - by Gaz Davidson
    Back in the 80s colleges were teaching Pascal because it is easy to learn, while myself and many others like me were learning BASIC because it was not only easy to learn but accessible and also fashionable (for an extremely liberal definition of fashion) It has just occurred to me that empirical data on the actual programming languages kids are choosing to use should be a good indicator of which language would be the ideal first choice for educators. Please note that this question is not "what do you think is a good programming language for kids?"

  • Online SQL course [closed]

    - by Sualeh Fatehi
    Does anyone know of a free online SQL source that allows you to practice SQL online without installing a database? Sort of like Code Academy? I am looking to start teaching SQL to a remote audience, and I want to be able to set up a schema and some data, and have the students run SQL against my schema, and practice. I also want a way to set up some exercises for them. In short, a Code Academy kind of environment for SQL.

  • Chapter 7–Enforced Data Protection

    - by drsql
    As the book progresses, I find myself veering from the original stated outline quite a bit, because as I teach about this more (and I am teaching a daylong db design class in August at http://www.sqlsolstice.com/ … shameless plug, but it is on topic :) I start to find that a given order works better. Originally I had slated myself to talk more about modeling here for three chapters, then get back to the more implementation topics to finish out the book, but now I am going to keep plugging through...(read more)

  • How to make the game wait for an animation to finish?

    - by petervaz
    I'm teaching myself andengine while trying to make a match-3 puzzle, so far I have a grid of gems that I populate and can move then around. Matching gems and new gems falling is working already. My problem is that the game keeps flowing while animations runs. How can I make the flow suspend until movement is done? I use entity modifiers for the gems animations. MoveYModifier for the fall and PathModifier for the swap.

  • ssl certificate for www.domain.com and domain.com

    - by user12145
    I used make-dummmy-cert that comes with apache 2.2 and ssl_mod to make a self-signed certificate, I tried www.domain.com domain.com *.domain.com, none of them would work for both www.domain.com and domain.com. The browser would say The certificate is only valid for domain.com( or www.domain.com or *.domain.com respectively) how do I make a self-signed cert that would work for both cases?

  • Is adding users to the group www-data safe on Debian?

    - by John
    Many PHP applications do self-configuration and self-updating. This requires apache to have write access to the PHP files. While chgrp'ing them all to www-data appears like a good practice to avoid making them world writable, I also wish to allow users to create new files and edit existing one. Is adding users to the group www-data safe on Debian? For example: 775 root www-data /var/www 644 john www-data /var/www/johns_php_application.php 660 john www-data /var/www/johns_php_applications_configuration_file

    - by esac
    I have a file share, and I want a process which enumerates files on that share and automatically creates a 7z self-extracting exe of files over 1 month old.

  • How (in terms of which parameters) is a "professional-grade" broadband connection different from a "consumer" one?

    - by odemarken
    By "professional" I mean here: The kind you can get at a datacenter for your server The kind you can get at an office that would be good enough for hosting web and mail server with low to medium traffic. (Please ignore other aspects of "the self-hosting problem" and focus only on broadband connection quality). Another way to frame this question would be "what parameters should office broadband have to compare to a datacenter-provided one for the purposes of self-hosting". The knowledge I have gathered so far is in answer format below.

  • Showing Master/Detail UITableView inside UIPopOverController

    - by tilomitra
    I have a UIPopOverController that shows a UIViewController with a UITableview in its view. The cells in the table have a detailedView, but whenever that view gets pushed, the PopOverController increases in size, and I am left with all this white space inside it. Question is this: Can anyone show me how I can have a Master/Detail UITableview show inside a PopOverController whilst preserving its dimensions? Some of my code if it helps you: //Creating the PopOver with the UIViewController addTaskViewController = [[AddTaskViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"AddTaskViewController" bundle:nil]; UINavigationController *addTaskNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:addTaskViewController]; UIPopoverController *addTaskPopOver = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:addTaskNavController]; self.addTaskPopOverController = addTaskPopOver; addTaskPopOverController.delegate = self; //...neccessary releases... //Showing the popover when a button is pressed - (void) addTasksButtonPressed:(id)sender { //Display the Popover containing a view from AddTaskViewController [self.addTaskPopOverController setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(400, 700)]; [addTaskPopOverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES]; }

  • iPhone Gameloop render update from a separate thread

    - by Rich
    Hi, I'm new to iPhone development. I have a game loop setup as follows. (void)CreateGameTick:(NSTimeInterval) in_time { [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(GameTick) toTarget:self withObject:nil]; } My basic game tick/render looks like this (void)GameTick { NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; CGRect wrect = [self bounds]; while( m_running ) { [self drawRect: wrect]; } [pool release]; } My render function gets called. However nothing gets drawn (I am using Core Graphics to draw some lines on a derived UIView). If I call my update via a timer then all is well and good. Can you tell me why the render fails when done via threads? And is it possible to make it work via threads? Thanks Rich
