    Raptor (the game I'm programming) update

    It is based off an old DOS game me and my friend used to play. We were only around 8 back then (I'm 16 now) so I never really paid attention to the company that made it. Its really not too similar to the old game other though, other than its name and genre. As for whats been fixed since the...

    No more bouncing icons

    I use iChat and it works just fine. I used AIM with 10.1, and the icon would bounce like it was having a siezure or something. Some other apps would do that too. 10.2 fixed the epilleptic icon problem and also came with iChat (thank ford) which makes it so I no longer need AIM. So yah, I...

    Anyone know of an mp4 converter?

    *Sigh* I checked and can't do it in the regular quicktime. I had the pro version of quicktime 5, but of course the serial number is worthless now. Does anyone know of any freeware that can do this?

    Oh yah, that. That is true and I'm SOOO glad they did it. In AOL instant messenger everytime you recieved a message and the AOL window wasn't in front, the icon would bounce till you clicked it. It made me want to tell my friends to just shut the hell up.

    Lol, Apple should quote that on their site. "Performance enhancements of Jaguar are so dramatic that they can even confuse some."

    Anyone know of an mp4 converter?

    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.

    Download and preview my new OSX game!

    I agree about a the level setting menu, thats something I'm going to do. I'm also going to add an options menu in case you want to set the difficulty or change it from hardware to software mode (runs faster, but only works right on nVidia graphics cards or in OS9). Perhaps I'll give a little...

    Download and preview my new OSX game!

    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...

    My new OSX game!

    I made all the artwork myself actually. The planes were drawn in Macromedia Flash first because vectors are easier to deal with than pixels, then I took a screenshot and from that put the finishing touches in adobe photoshop. The clouds / trees / ground were done in Bryce. Then an image mask...

    My new OSX game!

    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...

    Classic in Jaguar...

    No such thing as "uncompiling". Once a program is compiled the source code basically doesn't exist anymore. Its all turned into machine code which can only be interpretted by the processor. Some progress can be made in getting something like a source code through reverse engineering (although...

    Nope. There are SO many groups who wish to carbonize hypercard, but theres one little problem. The source code hasn't been released. If Apple were to ever release it, there would probably be a carbon or cocoa version within 2 days.

    Hypercard :( I'm still using it to program games...its still the best, despite its age. I've tried flash and even some basic programs, but i keep going back to hypercard.

    iCal and iSynce confirmation

    I have iCal as well. You know, I was really UN-excited when I heard Steve talk about it, but I downloaded it anyway and now I'm actually kind of addicted to it. Its got some cool features like emailing you 1 day before an event happens, or making a little window pop up a few minutes before...
