I actually managed to work it out for myself before I read your post. I've never got past the 'messing about with code on my own computer' stage before; I googled Zerolink.framework and from there I found out all about build styles. :) Thanks for your help though! The program is now running...

I posted a message earlier this week about a problem with a Family Fortunes quiz game I was making. The problem is resolved and the game compiles and runs... but only on my computer! When I try to open it on my friend's laptop or one of the publicly available computers at university, it bounces...

Ha! That's it. I forgot about bundles. Still new to Cocoa programming. Thanks very much for your help! :D

Hi, I'm having some trouble with Xcode. What I need to do is read text from some files into a couple of arrays, then display the text on screen when I press a number key corresponding to the array index (it's a quiz-type game). This works when I run my program from Xcode, but doesn't when I...

PBARGS and CPPARGS are defined in the while loop of the dada user interface program, and come from the command line. As I said, I changed line 8 to CPP="/usr/bin/cpp" which produces output. I've tried a couple of the scripts, and most of them work but there are some problems. I get...

Bump. It'd be great if someone could give me a hand with this. Please? :)

I'm trying to run the dada engine (to generate random text based on rules) but I can't seem to get it to work. I've downloaded the source code, run ./configure, make and sudo make install. It's installed everything I need. But when I try to run it - no output. I can make the pb program, which...

I don't know. I'll try and find out. Good point! I have tried using one of those web-based port scanning utilities... I'll try again later.

OK, even though I'm a volunteer/tech I manage to get stuck sometimes. This is one of those times, and it's really annoying me. Networking isn't my speciality, though I am learning more about it. I'm having huge problems with setting up port forwarding on my LinkSys router. My iMac G5 is...

I have found osxfaq.com very helpful in this respect. They have a fantastic UNIX tutorial in their Learning Centre, but you have to watch out for them using the tsch shell to begin with (since the tutorial was written for Jaguar). It's where I learned all my Terminal skills! The tips of the day...

I've never used MEX either, except as a swearword when I get obscure 'Your program has crashed and all your data has been lost because of a broken MEX file', or something to that effect... Best off writing separate C code, I reckon!

I program in MATLAB for my research too, and I'd definitely recommend C for fast number crunching. The advatntages of MATLAB are that it hides a lot of things from the user, which is great when you're starting out since it makes things easy for you. It's slow as hell though, which is why C is...

I have also played EV since the original, and I bought this version. The storylines are great, the graphics are gorgeous and the playability is top-notch. Personally I would definitely recommend purchasing it. :)
