Hi friends,
very funny, but it was clear for me within a fraction of a millisecond
that PCPLUS is a (printed) magazine... (No, i did not "Gurgle" ;-)
Especially in conjunction with "Issue xyz"...
But i am just a simple german guy and definitively NOT representative.
To me the (tiny :-) resulting flame war is, to say it clear,

Shortcut Problems in Windows XP

[John Miller]

Greetings All,
I have assigned a shortcut to a button, but Windows XP intercepts the 
command at the system level. Is there a way to give my app first shot 
at the shortcut?

A related question - Is there a way to rest control of the f keys away 
from Windows and assign them in Revolution?

Many Thanks,

 I can find no dedicated Mac OS X game engine for point-and-click

Do you know of any point-and-click adventure games made with 
Revolution?
General multimedia tools don't take care of the low-level game

potential,

Would anybody be open to making a Revolution point-and-click adventure

I am currently working on a couple of games that might be of interest.  
They are

My 8th grade students make adventure games in Rev every quarter.  I don't
actually know that much about gaming, so I'm not sure what a template
would provide for you that you couldn't program yourself.

To get them started I show them Spelunx. Yes, I know it's really old
and lame and much better adventure games exist, but (1) it was made with
HyperCard, which impresses the kids, as they know it's a precurser to
Rev, and (2) we own it.  That gets the the students thinking about the
kinds of things they can do themselves, and off they go!

We don't have a copy of Myst, or I'd show 'em that too.  Or maybe I
wouldn't -- it might intimidate some of the students; Spelunx seems
much more do-able.

I also had one girl who, although 13 years old, knew about the original
text-based adventure game, and re-created it in Rev.  It was really
well done!  (She admitted that doing a text-based game was underutilizing
Rev's features, but she wanted to do it anyway.)

So, what is a game template, and might one help my students?

Hmm... what kind of "low-level" features are you looking for, more 
specifically?

Just paste (or draw) each picture onto a card, and put a transparent, 
don't-show-name button over each hotspot.  on mouseUp go to card 
 end mouseUp.  Done.

Maybe some mouseEnter-type handlers for fancy navigation cursors, and 
possibly some resize logic so that the game can be played full-screen.

As for saved games, just save the name of the card or some such, along 
with any inventory you might be keeping (remember that there was really 
very little in the way of game state in Myst, but of course it would be 
possible to do extensive tracking of game state in Rev if you really 
wanted to.)

Myst is actually a *very* simple game from the perspective of the 
engine (the later follow-ups to Myst have become slightly more 
complex); what really sets it off is the artistry and the puzzles that 
were used (none of which would be difficult at all to do in Rev).

This is exactly the type of thing my students do.  It's really simple
to get started with, and you can incorporate other features as you
learn Rev.  Some of my kids have a room, for example, where the user
has to play Pong and get a certain number of points in order to
advance.  (Or, as one very cute game had, a Winnie-the-Pooh holding
onto a balloon and dodging the oncoming bees -- a girl's take on
the typical "missile-style" game.)  Other students implement an
inventory, where the user can pick up objects that are then useful
later in the game.

Only one student has implemented a game where the game state was
saved -- mostly because I don't teach them about saving to external
text files (because I don't understand the file paths myself:-).

As I've said before, I'm finding Rev to be a great vehicle for
introducing young students to programming.

If you mean making a shortcut to your application (or any file for that
matter), the answer is "yes". You do:

  create alias  to file 

So to create an alias to "C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.exe" you'd do:

  put specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/MyApp.lnk" into tAlias
  create alias tAlias to file "C:/Program Files/MyApp/MyApp.exe"

Note that inside Rev, all paths use the "/" delimiter, regardless of
platform. Rev does understand the "native" file delimiter ("\" in Windows
and ":" in Macintosh) most of the time, but it's a good habit to get into to
start using the "/" delimiter as often as possible.

Using Md5Digest on stacks loaded in memory

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi Developers,

Recently, i had been working on
refining some of my stacks for distribution
among fellow teachers and i had been 
experimenting with security issues.

I'll like that my player app verify
that the stacks that i send them were
not tampered in any way, so i'm working
in a verification system that could use
the built-in md5digest function.

I could verify the md5digest of a stack stored 
in the hard disk with the following code:

put url "binfile:C:/WINDOWS/Escritorio/myStack.rev"
into zxs 
-- zxs is a local variable
put binaryDecode("H*",md5Digest(zxs),tHexDigest)
-- convert the binary data of md5digest in hexadecimal
put tHexDigest
-- write the results in the message box

and could verify the md5digest of a file stored
as a custom property with the following code:

set the customProperty_01 of the topstack to url
"binfile:C:/WINDOWS/Escritorio/md5sums.exe"
-- i have included the file within the topstack
put binaryDecode("H*",md5Digest(the customProperty_01
of the topstack),tHexDigest)
-- converting in hexadecimal the binary result of the
md5digest function
put tHexDigest
-- write the results in the message box

But, How could i get the md5Digest of a
stack loaded in memory?

This code does not works in my side:

put binaryDecode("H*",md5Digest(the
topstack),tHexDigest)
put tHexDigest

It produces a different result than the
code that reads the stack from the Hard Disk...

Thanks in advance for your help.

My best wishes for this new year! :-)

I don't know if you can relate a stack in memory to an md5Digest 
created for a binary file.

You might be able to create an md5Digest of selected properties.  
However, if I modified one of your stacks, I might modify it to 
generate the "md5" hex code of itself that it got before.  It's like 
asking a person if he is a liar.

Maybe you can create a small stack or plugin whose sole purpose is to 
create the md5Digest of stacks and related files.  You can distribute 
this in person or find some other way to distribute it that you are 
comfortable with.  For some systems you might give the recipient by 
another channel instructions using system utilities.

Richard, when you interview the author of

It's the name of the band.
From his site at :
-
What is Alida about?
Alida is a point and click interactive graphical adventure game. The 
story centres around four young men in the band Alida that attained 
phenomenal success with their first CD release. Loads of money coupled 
with wild imagination resulted in construction of "Alida" - the theme park.

It's an unusual place - a giant guitar 330 metres long!
But these guys didn't stop there - the guitar can actually be played
(assisted by machinery);
the internal workings of the guitar can be accessed and manipulated
(machine heads, switch, pots etc..)
As Alida was nearing completion things got complicated, their popularity 
was waning and money stopped coming in. Distrust set in. Each of the 
band members claimed different areas of Alida for themselves where they 
devised weird and elaborate systems to protect their wealth. They 
retracted from each other finally leaving Alida uninhabited.
Fifteen years later one of the guys is missing on Alida...

How about doing a shell to "ipConfig /all" and then parsing the result? On
my Windows 98 machine I get two IP Addresses, one in a block that says "0
Ethernet adapter" and one that says "1 Ethernet adapter". I have a chunk of
code that I've used to find the MAC address, so I adapted it to get the IP
address. Since there's more than one, I continue to search until I get
something other than 0.0.0.0 (watch for word wraps):

on mouseUp
  put GetMyIP() into tIP
  if tIP contains "Error" then
answer tIP
  else
-- do what you want with the IP address
  end if
end mouseUp

function GetMyIP
  local tStart,tEnd
  put specialFolderPath("system") & "/IPCONFIG.EXE" into tWinIPConfig
  put specialFolderPath("system") & \
"/SYSTEM32/IPCONFIG.EXE" into tWinSysIPConfig
  put (there is a file tWinIPConfig) into winExists
  put (there is a file tWinSysIPConfig) into sys32Exists
  if winExists or sys32Exists then
set the hideConsoleWindows to true
put shell("ipconfig /all") into tData
repeat
  if matchChunk(tData,"IP Address[\. ]*: ([A-Z0-9\.]*)",tStart,tEnd)
then
put char tStart to tEnd of tData into tIP
if tIP <> "0.0.0.0" then
  return tIP
else
  delete char 1 to tEnd of tData
end if
  else
return "Error: IP Address not found."
  end if
end repeat
return "Error: IP Address not found."
  else
return "IPCONFIG not found"
  end if
end GetMyIP

No idea, Paul... what version of Windows are you using, and what version of
Revolution?

This appears to have been a reported bug in Rev 2.5 (it works fine in Rev
2.2) - (see Bugzilla bug #2289), but Chipp Walters says its fixed (although
I downloaded the most recent public version and it still doesn't work).
Perhaps Chipp can chime in on this one...

Re: Copy & Paste problrms

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Paul,
There is a noted bug in the latest version of Rev where it's only 
copying and pasting unicode, and becaue notepad doesn't support unicode, 
it doesn't work. It's been fixed in the next release.

Workarounds:
1) Paste into something like WordPad which does support unicode
2) Use my 'altClipConvert' plugin to converty your clipboard text to 
something Notepad will recognize.

It's at the bottom of page:

Happy holiday season!
best,
Chipp
