I saw this video, and I am really curious how it was performed. My intuition is that he scraped pixels from the screen (one per 'box'), and then fed that into some program to determine the next move.
Is scraping pixel-by-pixel the way to do this, or is there a better way? I am looking to do something similar with either Java or Python.
I absolutely love good defender games (e.g. Gemcraft, Protector: reclaiming the throne) as they can be intellectually quite challenging; it's like playing chess but a little less thinking and a bit more action. Sadly, there are not that many good ones out there and I thought I would create one myself and share it with the rest of the world by making it available on-line.I have never worked with ActionScript but when it comes to on-line games, this is the main choice. I have tried to find a decent 2D game in the form of a Java applet but to no avail. Why is this so? I could write the game, most comfortably, in Delphi for Win32 but then people would need to download the executable, which could deter some form downloading it, and also it would only work on Windows. I am also familiar with Java, having worked with Java for the last four years or so; although, I don't have much experience with games programming.
Should I not be deterred by the fact that all on-line games are written for in Flash and create my defender game as a Java applet, or should I consider learning ActionScript and games development for the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AS3 looks very much like Java... but still, it's an entirely new technology to me and I might never use it professionally.)
Is it possible to use the Java KeyEvent to sends keys to a flash game? I would like to be able to control a flash game from a Java program I have written.
View 2 RepliesI am curious about how battlefield heroes works - it is a game playable in your web browser, and it is quite alot more complex than your average webbrowser game. Does anyone know what technology it is based on? Flash, ActiveX, Applets....? What technology does Age Of Empires Online use?
View 3 RepliesI'm writing a simple game based on my physics engine for Android (in Java). Because I want to play with some special graphic effects performance is very important for me. I read on the Internet that you can write an application in ActionScript3 and then just export it as an iPhone/iPad or Android application. That means, I wouldn't have to rewrite everything from Java to Objective-C if I wanted to make version also for iPhone. Do you have any experience with writing games in ActionScript3 for both Android and iPhone/iPad? Are there any significant advantages / disadvantages?

*UPDATE - I want to embed a flash template into an html web page, in this web page will be a meta tag with a UID. The UID will be referenced in an XML schema, which Flash loads the specifics of the UID to flash file. The web page name can be anything (index.html, index.php, contact.asp, etc).
I'm scraping a website in Flash, writing in Python. I can see in Firebug that the page loads its Flash file and then some background data in an .asmx file. The background data is what I'm interested in - so how can I get hold of the .asmx file? I already know what it's called. I can't get at the .asmx file directly, but can I grab it using Mechanize?

I have a client-server multigame suite for PC ("kind of" cross-platform using cygwin), which is developed in Java(game menus and database management), C++ (server side), and adobe Flash (game graphics & interaction).
I have never tried to develop for android, so i have no experience.I am thinking of migrating this suite to google TV. So i would like someone with android experience to give a clue on the following :
1) Is it going to be easy to migrate the Java application to an Android application?
2) What kind of Flash support does Android have? Can it load directly swf applications? Does it have to load swf's through browser?
3) Can i find any kind of performance indexes for google TV hardware?
I need to load somehow the html code of a webpage A into a javascript string of another webpage B, on a different host. I know this is impossible to do with javascript alone because of the same origin policy, and I know I could do it loading the page via php on my server and then send results back to the user's client but I wouldn't be able to handle so many requests, so I need it to be done directly by the user's browser. I can use nearly whatever browser scripting language/applet framework common enough to be installed on the majority of my users' computers, like flash and java.On example, what if I use flash or java to load the external html code and then call a javascript callback function providing the source? Could this work?
View 2 RepliesIf one doesn't have the source code, the only to test is to send keystroke and mouse move so I found this product but it's not free and opensource price is not even known :([URL] Squish supports automating interactions and testing non-HTML/DOM elements, that is, native objects, which are embedded in a web page. This is done at a fairly abstract level, which means that mouse and text input can be recorded and replayed.
In addition it is possible to inspect embedded native objects with the Spy tool and to insert verifications for these native objects. All of a native object's public properties can be accessed in test scripts.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to access a movieclip inside an external swf (.fla file), using data from a vector?
The following code works correctly:
this._graphics.message2_mc.textLabel_txt.text = "Test";
Where as when I loop through a vector and try to replace "message2_mc" it cannot find the movie clip:
for(var i:uint = 1; i <= this._playlistState.subMovieVector.length - 1; i++)
{
var movieName:String = this._playlistState.subMovieVector[i].movieName;
this._graphics.movieName.textLabel_txt.text = "Test";
}
Presumably this is because I am putting a string in the middle of the line of code accessing the movie clip?
What are the options (or is it possible at all) for a web page (running on a remote server, not localhost) to access a data stream (not video) coming in via the USB port of the local computer?
Ideally this would work cross-platform (Windows, Unix, Mac anyway) and the local computer would not have to download/install anything to make it work (beyond what you can reasonably expect a computer to have)
An embedded Java applet seems the only way, but I'm wondering if there's any other technologies that could do it. If the restriction is lifted so that the user can install something (basic for non-techies, not setting up a local server running node.js for example) does that make more things possible (Flash?)
i am trying to write exif data into a image . I am trying to code it in Flash builder. Thus it seems like actionscript is the only choice.
I have found libraries from java. But it doesnt fit it in flash builder.
I've got XML data in AS3 that needs to be compressed, validated on my Java Google App Engine servlet then saved to a file in Google Cloud Storage. Later that file will be opened and decompressed by the AS3 client. The process works if I do it with plain XML or text, but if I ByteArray#compress the data, it dies during ByteArray#uncompress with "There was an error decompressing the data".
I've tried setting the content type and mime type at various points, as well as encoding with Base64, but every attempt seems to break in a different way and I never get the same XML back that I sent in. Do I need to use multipart? Should I compress on the server? [code]...
I'm developing a Flex front end client for a Java server application and I have a set of model classes that represent objects in my business logic and should have the same properties and exhibit the same behaviour throughout all layers. These objects
-Have form validation logic for user input
-Are displayed in various forms (lists, detail views ...) throughout the UI
-Are retrieved from and sent to the server using XML or AMF
-Are validated again on the server
-Are stored in a RDBM with tables and fields corresponding to the classes and fields
This is a very common application structure, I guess. I'm already using:
ORM for the Java backend (Eclipse persistence package)
Automatic mapping from XML to Action Script, using XML schema and the classes in mx.rpc.xml, as described here.
Now, what I'd really like to do is define the objects once (I already have them in XSD) and have tools set up class stubs for the whole chain. What can I use?
I've already heard of (but not evaluated):
XMLBeans to generate Java classes from XML Schema
Granite DS to generate AS classes from Java classes
I want to analyse if the XML I send from my client Flex to my Java using remoteObject is compressed or not. for this, I'm using Wireshark, but it can't get packets in the localhost (windows vista)

I have been working on a flex application with java, as i have used Life Cycle Data Service for communication, i wana know, is there any function of flex, where i can see the loading status in percentage, that how much record is being loaded.Problem is, if there is lengthy record, no body comes to know, whats happening with software, like in Comboboxes or Grids, users usually think it as a BUG in application, but ofcourse it is not.I need such graphical loader, which keeps on loading with proper status in percentage, until it receives all data from JAVA (SQL Server).

I'm sending through a socket from java to flex client some data and the flex side can't seem to handle it right. In the java i'm looping over 8 objects and for each object I create a long string 1:lsls:2:3:justexample then the java does writeToSocket("1:lsls:2:3:justexample") for every iteration of the loop. But in the client side, it seems that only 2 out of the 8 arrived. what can be the problem?
