DELPHIX Problems. Need help with multiple problems

[cairnswm]

Or load the sound files before you need them. This will cache them in memory until needed.

well I put sleep(100) before the main loading and for some reason it all works. It isnt the loading of the file, seems to be maybe a bug in delphix, doesnt like the file loaded into memory and then processed straight away when going from 1 music to the next. a short stall in the program doesn't give it more time to load, just seems to rectify the problem. This can be a temp solution.

Ok, so I want to add net support. This is the one area of delphix I am completely ruined on. I just need a simple explanation of how to make a label in 1 application display information passed from a variable on another if you see what I mean. From there I can probably manage to do more than nothing.

Any good tutorials around?

It's not entirely clear from your post, but if you're talking about netwerk examples, there are 2 demos that come with (un)delphix.

Perhaps they might offer some insight?

[seiferalmasy]

yay;0 looked at those, they go into sending messages, seems very complicated. Its muchy better to start with something ultra simple

[seiferalmasy]

and also yo traveller, did you finish that pop the baloon prog? It looks fun do you have an exe download? and did you make it with delphix?

[cairnswm]

Networking is all about messages.

To make a label update based on a label on another computer you need to send a message from the one to the other to tell the label to update to the new value.

Yes, I actually have finished it.
I'm afraid I've been heavily neglecting my website in the pas few months. On top of that, (and I haven't got a clue why) the entire projects section is not function anymore, as well as a few other minor things.

I have some plans for a new site, that is more focussed towards the Village Defense game, but it'll probably take a few more weeks before some results are visible.

In the meantime, you can download Ptb from here. (incl source code)

[seiferalmasy]

was pas a typo? or have you just got pas files on the brain

that was a nice game of yours...i will look at the source code soon, see how you accomplished the baloons popping, very neat.

Are games faster /better in full screen mode or does it not matter?

seiferalmasy: Wow, this thread is turning into quite a list of sub-topics. Why don't you try breaking it up by area of focus so that way when people are looking through old post, it's not so much of a jumble for them.

Also, you may even get a more focused response to one of your specific problems too. So it's kind of a win-win for both things.
