Ah, yes. Before I added the menus ect. the input worked just fine. And sorry if my code is bad practice- This is my first real project in Java. The only language I really know is Python (and even that not too well). I really just program as a hobby for now. Maybe once I go to college I'll get more serious about it.

*Don't store the playlistener in gameWindow.
I removed it, that worked.

That appears to be all, I guess.

Tell me if that doesn't work.

Sorry, don't want to interrupt this other thread-with-the-thread, but while I'm thinking about it, I thought I'd put forward a quick question[1] about GIMP and Script-Fu, for anyone with a finger well and truly within that particular pie:  I want to know if I'm right that it appears that the standard Scheme(i.e. SIOD) functions/defines that are in-built to GIMP do not include arbitrary direct file-reading capabilities.  i.e. the (fopen <path> <mode>) and (read[line] <stream>) functions, or similar.

It doesn't even appear to have (apropos <substring>) defined, in order to search for possible alternatives, and attempted Script-Fu console use of them suggests that they're missing, rather than that I'm not parametrising them correctly.

As I want to import (and pre-process via Script-Fu, that's easily done) some textual data in various ways (ideally, specifying an input file in a text-type field for, for menu-activated use of the fully-registered extension), it looks like I need to go for a full-blown compiled plug-in (or perhaps Perl-Fu...  Perl seems to be my default fall-back at the moment, anyway!) either to do the whole job, or just to implement a function that bridges the gap between the 'missing' data-input procedures and the Script-Fu I've already written that translates data to the required effect.

Like the Script-Fu, my Google-Fu also hasn't helped me much.  I'm thinking that this is probably because no-one (that I've seen!) has explicitly said it isn't possible, rather than because no-one has described what is possible in ways that my various refined search queries have matched well with, via the usual search methods.

(I was also kind of hoping that there'd be an easily portable method of making my GIMP extensions easily adoptable by others, once I got them doing what I wanted them to do, but if it goes so far as to need each person to 'make' at least some of the file components, that puts a small and yet not insignificant barrier in the way of ease-of-use by an 'everyman'.  But I'm not au fait with anything other than homegrown scripting, within this particular environment, so I suppose it may be a lot easier than I'm fearing.)



[1] Here in a place I already can easily post to, rather than have to register for a new forum that I'm probably not going to want to say much on, beyond the point I've confirmed my suspicions.

Hmm... I made the PlayListener into a new class, but though the game still ran, the keyboard still didn't work. I didn't detect any difference.

Spoiler: Here's the PlayListener, if you want it (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class PlayListener implements ActionListener {

boolean clicked;
GameWindow gWindow;

public PlayListener(GameWindow nGameWindow){
gWindow = nGameWindow;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
//notPaused = true;
if (!clicked){
//System.out.println(" New game ");
gWindow.newRun();
clicked = true;
} else {
clicked = false;
}
}

}

[eerr]

Code: [Select]

Class Gamewindow
     //PlayListener playlistener = new playlistener();

That is what I meant.

[script-fu stuff]

Admittedly, I don't much know what you're talking about. My GIMP skills are limited to simple image editing.

My Google-Fu lead me to this. It's for a slightly older version of GIMP. I'll quote the one relevant portion here:

Deprecated features

The following SIOD functions or constants are currently made available in TinyScheme Script-fu but may disappear in future versions.
[snip]
fopen - replaced by TinyScheme's open-input-file
[snip]

[snip]
fopen - replaced by TinyScheme's open-input-file
[snip]

Hmm, looks promising...  Like a lot of inbuilt functions it's not in the (GIMP) procedure browser, but:

> (open-input-file "." "r")
Error: open-input-file: needs 1 argument(s)

> (open-input-file ".")
#f

Right, so having tried a directory (which I knew would be wrong), I think I've got the format.  Now... where does it look by default?

No, forget that, I can just specify it absolute with (open-input file "c:/...something or other...") and if it's an existing file I get a response #<PORT>, and tests show that (read ...) accepts one parameter, which might well be a variation on that <PORT>, but I'm getting "undefined sharp expression" if I include the "#" and "unbound variable" for the other ways I've tried to use it (but "Error: read: argument 1 must be: input port" is definitely what it wants).  Time for me to chase down the TinyScheme documentation, at least one version of which you appear to have found that I didn't, or otherwise investigate the Stream-variable syntax relevant to this particular situation.

So cheers for that.  Loads of help.  I'd just about decided that an alternate way of dealing with the problem is to externally 'pre-dope' the script that I was going to load with effectively embedded data.


edit: I'm an idiot...  One assigns the (open-input-file ...) result to a variable and use that in the read (or use it directly, if you're just bothered with the first line of output).  Right, cooking on gas.  Except that I'm nowhere near the computer on which I've got all the stuff I want to process, so trying it out for real will have to wait...

How do I show the results of two queries side by side? I have two separate queries that look like this:

Code: [Select]

SELECT Teacher.[Last Name] & ", " & Teacher.[First Name] AS [Too Old], DateDiff("yyyy", Teacher.[Birth Date], Date()) AS Age
FROM Teacher
WHERE DateDiff("yyyy", Teacher.[Birth Date], Date()) > 70;
and this:

Code: [Select]

SELECT Teacher.[Last Name] & ", " & Teacher.[First Name] AS [Too Young], DateDiff("yyyy", Teacher.[Birth Date], Date()) AS Age
FROM Teacher
WHERE DateDiff("yyyy", Teacher.[Birth Date], Date()) < 20;

And I want them to show side by side (i.e. Too Old, Age, Too Young, Age). A simple union doesn't do the trick.

I have a quick question... I am using Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express but only have the free license for it so cannot use the Resource Editor thingy. Is there a non-glitchy-as-hell resource editor that will work with 64-bit Win 7?

Notepad?
Depends what sort of resources you're trying to add, but the .rc files aren't that complicated so if it's just an icon or similar you might as well just handcraft the script.

[Kofthefens]

So now I'm working on another project: a program that locks files. I'm not running into any programming issues; rather I want to know how I can set the permissions(or something similar) on a file so that only my program (which is is Python) can open it. It would be great if there was a way to do this inside of my program, but I am happy to just right-click and change whatever permissions are needed manually. Thanks.

Oh lolz... I've never looked at resources outside of an IDE. What I am needing to do is make a dialog, so I guess I will look through some old dialogs and see if I can work out how to get the dialog the way I want it to look that way

[Chaos Armor]

I have a question. Now this is probably one of the most stupidest questions you've gotten yet but...

Spoiler: Code (click to show/hide)

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Command1_Click()
        Dim cs
        Dim p2p
        Dim lime
        Dim max
        Dim ds
        Dim aware
        Dim spy
        Dim mech
        Dim priv

        cs = CheckBox1
        p2p = CheckBox2

        lime = CheckBox3

        max = CheckBox4

        ds = CheckBox5

        aware = CheckBox6

        spy = CheckBox7

        mech = CheckBox8

        priv = CheckBox9


        If cs = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Photoshop.exe")
        If p2p = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\Warez P2P Client\warez.exe")
        If lime = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe")
        If max = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\SWiSHmax\SwishMax.exe")
        If ds = True Then Shell("C:\3dsmax7\3dsmax.exe")
        If aware = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Professional\Ad-Aware.exe")
        If spy = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe")
        If mech = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\Registry Mechanic\RegMech.exe")
        If priv = True Then Shell("C:\Program Files\Privacy Guardian\pg.exe")

    End Sub
    Sub Button()
        Dim button1 As Action
        button1 = Button1
        If button1 =  Then End





    End Sub






    Private Sub CheckBox6_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox6.CheckedChanged

    End Sub
End Class

How can I get this program to open the programs that have been assigned those variables when I click the "OK" button.

NOTE: This is not a text based window. It is a graphical window. It has check boxes.

Thanks.

[Kofthefens]

Hello again,
I'm having trouble playing sounds inside JAR files. The code looks like this:

Code: [Select]

// Within some mass of code:

SoundClipTest player = new SoundClipTest();
player.playSound("Pop.wav")


public class SoundClipTest extends JFrame {

// Constructor
public SoundClipTest() {
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.setTitle("Test Sound Clip");
this.setSize(10, 10);
this.setVisible(false);
}

public void playSound(String fileName){

try {
// Open an audio input stream.

URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(fileName);
AudioInputStream audioIn = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(url); //*

// Get a sound clip resource.
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
// Open audio clip and load samples from the audio input stream.
clip.open(audioIn);
clip.start();
} catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}
* what happens here is I get a nullPointerException

Spoiler: Error Message (click to show/hide)

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

What am I doing wrong?

By the way, I did Google this, but clearly my Google-fu is not up to snuff, as all the things I found either didn't work or I was not sure how to use them.

[RulerOfNothing]

Well, getResource returns null if the resource name passed to it doesn't exist, so there is probably something wrong with fileName.
