I just released SpirographX, an image app I programmed in Cocoa, this afternoon. SpirographX is used to generate cool, radial images. It works like a spirograph, but with limitless possibilities. Add more loops, tweak loop diameters, and set colors to create endless visuals. The animate...

The uDev game contest begins tomorrow, and voting begins on the 18th! For those of you who don't know, the uDev game contest is a contest to encourage macintosh game development but offereing incentive to develop and to release source code. This year there are 57 games in the contest, 42...

Hey, I've worked since late september on my game. I started just a few days after diving into TNT basic, my new BASIC compiler. I formed a group with a few friends, and got one to do the music for my game, and one to help with maps. The end result is quickly becoming the best game I've...

Raptor is coming along very well! It'll hopefully be released in a few weeks. Overall its much more smooth and polished than it was a few weeks back. When its done it'll be availible on mac game files for download. For now, here's some screenshots to wet your appetites...

Okay, I know quicktime plays mp4's (or AAC audio or whatever.) But what program can convert files to Mp4's (or AAC audio or whatever)? I need to get the music files for my game compressed, but I don't wanna lose quality.

Okay, so Raptor is to the point where I'd like to show you all just what I've been up to. Raptor is a top down, scrolling, arcade style plane game. Its carbon, so it will run in OSX or OS9. Although it runs faster in OS9, the shadows do not display correctly for some reason. Features: 4...

Hey everybody, I've been programming a game called Raptor lately. It is carbon so it runs in OSX and OS9. Raptor is a top down scrolling game in the arcade style like Diemos rising, however, its biggest influence is an old DOS game called Raptor-Call of the shadows. The game derrives its name...

I just installed Jaguar Build 6c98. I've only had it on for about an hour but I must say, this is fast! In terms of basic things like window resizing and finder navigation it seems like I've upgraded to one of those Dual 1ghz systems, the kind of speed I've only been able to play with on the...

.mac isn't a bad deal if you're actually using the site for something usefull. When it first was announced I cringed, but now I'm actually subscribed because I needed to set up a rather large project for a group I'm involved with. I don't find 100MB for 50 bucks bad at all. And the speed is...

Thought I'd just start a thread where people can post their Jaguar observations that aren't on apples site or anything. I'll just put up a few to start. 1. Selecting files on the desktop is much smoother. The little transperant box clings to the mouse much better than it did before. 2...

I tried iChat in OSX v10.1 and it won't launch. It attempts to launch in the dock for about a third second then its gone. Has Apple done this on purpose or is there some actual difference in the operating systems?

I don't know if anyone has discovered this but I just did it by accident. If you hold the apple key and click an object in the menu bar (like the clock, battery meter, volume, moniter res, ect) you can move them around or even poof them away life an icon from the dock. Just thought it was neat.

I used a program that changed the 'nice' of the finder and dock, giving them higer priority. Now internet explorer can barely scroll, and when I move around the windows of a few programs like iTunes, they don't cling to the mouse the way they used to. Does anyone know how to set this to default?

I'm trying to get a webpage up using the built in apache server that comes with OSX. I've got most everything ironed out so the webpage works and all, except that my address changes everytime I restart my computer. I'm using PacBell DSL. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on an address...

The way iPhoto organizes all the files in the program itself is fine, but I totally hate the way it organizes the files on the hard drive. This is fine if you just browse your photo using that program alone but its horrible for trying to find the files later in photoshop. Folder within folder...

I've put up 2 posts already, but no one has responded to them, and they are now way back in the forum where no one will look. So I'm going to say it again: Disk copy will not mount my disk images I download from Apple anymore. It will mount .img files but not .dmg files. Does anybody know...

I've ran software update a few times, and everytime it tells me it wasn't successfull after completing the download. I tried using IE to download, but Disk image will not mount the 10.0.2 image. I tried downloading 10.0.1 again, but it will not mount that image either. Both images are .dmg...

I tried updating in software update. It took about 5 hours on my peice of @#$ connection. Then it told me that there were errors installing, meaning it didn't install anything. I tried downloading it from the Apple site, it finished downloading, and it and turned into a .dmg file. When...

I had been using OSX since the public beta, no problems, and it never had froze or anything. I installed the boxed version last week, no problems, no freezes. Then today... I turned it on, and looked at the dock. All the application icons had turned into folder icons except for appleworks...
