java - Good books and web resources for JOGL and JMonkeyEngine? -

-

i trying decide between using jogl , jmonkeyengine on project learn bit basics of each , decide 1 prefer. have books or web resources recommend learning how use each one? prefer stuff gives lot of detailed information , examples use style on brief online tutorials poor quality code examples. official documentation good, haven't yet found either. jmonkeyengine says has complete documentation haven't yet located on website. information appreciated.

i should mention have never used opengl before. if go jogl need learn of opengl basics, need resources on opengl if jogl resources don't go full detail on it.

updated:

  1. jmonkeyengine 3 beginner's guide
  2. jmonkeyengine 3 cookbook

i in jmonkey core team, albeit not programmer.

for starters, if you're considering jogl, hope you're looking @ jogl2 jogamp, , not old abandoned 1 on @ java.net. in terms of use, jogl , jme 2 different things. jogl, lwjgl jme (and minecraft, name one) based on, eases bare essentials, opengl. means more freedom, spending large amount of time making "bare bones" of game before flesh out real gameplay features.

jmonkeyengine, latest jme3 especially, designed intermediate developers in mind, not means of limitations gradual learning curve , whole lot of game-specific features built in.

/takes salesman hat off

our wiki located @ jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php. if you're more used eclipse, recommend using jmonkeyplatform (the jme3 sdk) jmonkey development, comes lot of tools couldn't put engine core.

as books, don't believe there one, either. our main doc writer working on contract packt though. final "jmonkeyengine 3 beginner's guide" book expected late 2011 or 2012.

i can't speak jogl (though figure they'd same), if have more questions regarding jmonkeyengine suggest come visit our forum.

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

-
what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

i'm attempting recode old c++ program in fortran make use of lapack (i'm aware c++ have lapack++, i'm having lot of trouble installing it, gave up). i didn't have problems compilation, when had variables declared real . when started coding section of program required lapack, found parameters passed dsyev need double precision . tried change double precision (including changing hard coded numbers double precision counterparts, i.e. 0.0 -> 0.0d0) when try compile, following error of functions , subroutines i've written: error: return type mismatch of function <function> @ (1) (real(4)/real(8)) i'm not sure coming from, in program has been changed double precision. for example, i've declared following: double precision :: alpha(3),d(3),zeta1,zeta2 double precision :: a1(3),a2(3),d1(3),d2(3) double precision :: pi pi = 3.14159265359d0 alpha = (/0.109818d0, 0.405771d0, 2.22766d0/) d = (/0.444635d0, 0.535328d0, 0.154329d0 /) 10 i=1,3 ...

queue - mq_receive: message too long -

-
i implementing communication between 2 processes using queue. problem when call function mq_receive, error: message long. i have done following: struct mq_attr attr; long size = attr.mq_msgsize; .... // initializing queue "/gateway" int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, size, &prio); if print size value, size=1, while when print same size program (got same mechanism), not long integer ( -1217186280 )... how can solve error?....so while size = 1, believe it's right "message long" why 1? p.s. have tried put : int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, sizeof(buffer), &prio); but no result. it seems need read docs more carefully. when call mq_receive should pass size of destination buffer. this size must greater mq_msgsize attribute of queue . in addition, seems have error in queue attributes initialisation makes proper mq_receive call impossible. here standard message queue session: fill mq_attr struct ( doc ): struct mq_a...
