CIS Planet

well..

that took me some time to create the launcher

first i’m running on Ubuntu 9.04, all what i wanted is a launcher to start the Arena without the need to digg into folders for it

so i made the icon, put it in the Application launcher and added the command wich was “javaws %ArenaPath%/ContestAppletProd.jnlp”

and when i click it, nothing happens

and when running that command in a terminal it outputs:

after some searching i found that this was because of the version of JAVA i use, the default 1.6 but “OpenJDK”

so when i used the command

“/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javaws   %ArenaPath%/ContestAppletProd.jnlp”

it ran correctly

and i added the “-Xnosplash” to the command before the Arena path to disable the JAVA web start splash screen

i hope that helps some body like me

this is a kind of exception that happens normally when u r coding with opengl, whether using Tao framework for C# or native opengl
when u run the opengl program and u find it just crashes with no reason
then one of the main reason is the function “glutInit()“
this function initializes the GLUT which should be initialized only ONCE per program run
and if this function fails to initialize -for many reasons- but with me mainly because it’s called more than a time, it crashes the program and just closes it
so just make sure u call this function only once..

It’s been a while, I know. I’ve held to this caricature for a long time, and I thought it was time to let it out.

Let’s all sing our national anthem. I guess we’ll sing it along with that poor guy …

This caricature belongs to my dear friend, great caricaturist and talented artist, Waleed Taher. It was published in Al-Dostour Newspaper a long time ago, I just gave it some quick coloring.

after the first note which was on facebook about the fourth year depts which was made last year for my class, i think it was very helpfull

so i thought of doing the same this year for FCIS’10 class would be nice

and because there are some non-Facebook-users, i thought it would be better to have this post here not on facebook

please answer Those questions if u r/were in FCIS
