Try using tiff files. Make one big image for the board, including partially transparent shadows (love that alpha channel) and others for the pieces.

Right, but how do I do that? It's mainly the coding aspects of it that I don't know. Thanks for your reply, though. I'm just a little stressed with the deadline for this thing.…

Sorry with these forums down I can't help much. What I would do is put in an NSImageView in Interface Builder and then write some code like this: <pre><font size = 1 f…

Dependant on hardware? About as hardware dependant as C++. All carbon is is just a set of C++ API's to write to. If you want to use carbon on another platform you'll have to port a…

ok thx, what I was wondering was if it's (relatively easy) technically wise to see carbon apps running on macos x86.... i guess it is

No, it is not easy. What you're talking about is porting a huge chunk of Mac OS X to x86. Even with access to the original source code, this is very difficult due to all sorts of s…

Except that Apple has already ported a large chunk of the Mac OS X code from Intel to PPC in the first place, and it's been rumoured that Apple has OS X for Intel working internall…

Well, when I get a NullPointerException I log it to stderr via Exception.printStackTrace()... Oh, wait a minute. You might not be programming in Java. Sorry, couldn't resist :-)…

Don't be too proud of java. Doesn't stderr just throw it into the console? I could do the same thing in C. I think that the default behaviour of printf, if I'm not running a progra…

The only time a memory allocation will fail on OS X is when: (a) all the RAM is being used, (b) all swap space on all drives is completely full, and (c) there are no pages in memor…

I guess that I have a question about unix memory management then. Suppose that I have opened and closed a whole bunch of programs so the memory is pretty fragmented. There's nothi…

Thanks. I guess that Unix is a lot smarter than I thought that it was.

Can you post a copy of the file? I could give it a shot. What system calls are you making. It sounds like you might need to link with the system framework or something.

Well, I actually don't have the files it's referring to. I don't even have a /sys/ directory within that g++ directory. So for some reason I'm missing files. This is very strange i…

I know what he meant. What I'm saying is that the error I'm getting makes sense... those header files it's searching for don't exist -- I had a problem installing Fink (the pkg do…

Being a select developer, I'd think that it would be very cool. However, there's no possibility to check for NDA-email addresses I know of. Maybe you should talk about it with some…

While I think your idea is good and such a forum is needed, I doubt Apple will permit it to exist here. Allowing "secret" company information to exist on someone else's server is …

Except that it DOESN'T ON ILLEGALLY OBTAINED PRIVATE INTERNAL RELEASES OF OS X. If you want it to work, don't use 4K29. Simple. Either go back to the PB or wait until the final. Co…

Following the mothership's lead, Metrowerks released an patch to a select few. And, no, I'm not talking about 6.1...

Great isn't it! Apple and Metrowerks take care of the important people, and leave the little guys to wait patiently in the dark. Ho hum, I might just brush up on my MS Visual Stu…
