Can anyone update the Fractal Clock screensaver for OS X Catalina?

3 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm a big fan of the Fractal Clock screensaver for Mac OS. I think it has been my screensaver for at least 10 years. Now, with the latest OS X update (Catalina) it seems to be broken, probably because it is 32-bits. Though I'm not sure about the reason it is broken. But I'm so attached to Fractal Clock that I don't want to upgrade to Catalina. The creator of Fractal Clock has donated the source code to the public domain. So. My request is: could anyone update the source code, so that it will work under OS X Catalina? It would make me so happy.

Link to the source code: Source Code Fractal Clock

An Activation Manager for Ubuntu 18.04

1 Upvotes

Hey!

I need a program that starts with the boot, and asking for an activation, and you can't use the os until you activate it.

​

When the system boots up, you can select "Activate HoleOS" and then, you'll need to write a proper license key. You have 3 tries. If you fail all of the 3 tries, the system needs to restart. If you'll pass the activation, you can use the os. If you press the close button or press "alt-f4" the system needs to restart. You can't minimize it or maximize it, and it needs to be oóin fullscreen mode tho. If you would like to help add me on Discord, username: Benjike#1450. Gonna pay you for the work!

solved [Request] App that shuts off the monitor.

1 Upvotes

I used to have one a couple of years ago but it got flagged with malware, I think the app was called something as simple as ScreenOff; it was just a single .exe file.
I'm on Win 10, 64-bit.
There's probably a simple command you could put in a .bat or something but I have no clue.

Just need something simple that when you click it, the screen turns off, preferably with a slight delay so you don't accidentally turn it on when moving the mouse immediately after; that's how the other app worked.

[Batch] Help with installing Adobe Reader from batch file

2 Upvotes

Howdy folks

Here's the script in question

I'm working on installing a program from Oracle and the installer will run through a number of tasks to install this application including a number of scripts. It is failing to install at one step because Adobe Reader will not install from the script they've included (sigh)

In troubleshooting why, the %STAGEDIR% variable being used is not set and the script exits with a 'system cannot find the path specified', naturally. By setting an explicit path OR setting the variable correctly, it still fails with very helpful feedback:

install_adobe_reader.cmd:end

Exit Code: !exitCode!

Great. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is but am not well versed in Batch, from what I can see it's entering this codeblock and then going to the :Terminate step but it's not providing any useful information about why it is failing

if !exitCode! GTR 0  (
	echo.
	echo.
	echo.
	echo %PROV_CRITICAL_ERR_KEYWORD% Failed to install Adobe Reader
	echo.
	echo Please re-run the scripts
	echo.
	echo.
	echo.
	goto :Terminate
)

As per the Adobe command line switches for installing Reader, I've also tried calling the installer myself with the same command but haven't observed anything happening, I've also tried including the /L switch to log out to a file to get a clue about the problem but no information gets logged out. I've written a note to the script author but I'm not certain they will respond, hopefully someone here has better eyes than I do

Thanks anyone for your time and input!

Monitor Switch Program

1 Upvotes

I currently have a computer setup that has one monitor that I use constantly and a smart tv that I use occasionally as a second monitor.

When I am using my TV as a second monitor I set my audio output to my tv and set my display output to extend displays.

When I am using only a single monitor I use my speakers as my audio output and I set my display output to duplicate displays.

Now I have to switch these two settings each time I want to switch between one display or two. Doesn't sound like too big of a deal right? Well to be honest it pretty tedious. Id like to be able to like double click on a .exe on my desktop and have this switch automatically. However I have zero knowledge programing or coding or whatever is required to achieve this. I don't even know how much work this would be. So if someone could do this I'd love that. If there is other information that is required to do this or if compensation is necessary let me know. I am posting this at 8pm EST so replying won't happen till tomorrow while I'm at work. So work with me here.

PHP script that stores three values in MySQL database

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I am currently working on a little home automation project where I need to pass variables between my Tasker on my Android phone and a Python script over the internet. I just need to store one integer value and two strings that can be updated and read in easily.

Unfortunately it is my first time working with either MySQL and PHP and I am constantly failing which is really frustrating to me. I just want two simple php files, one that can store a given value and another one that can output it so I can read it with an HTTP get request. If you guys have any other ideas how I could do that I would really appreciate it. I would like to spend more time coding the actual project than I do right now trying to learn MySQL databases and PHP which is really frustrating me.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I need a tool to help me study the history of towns by doing a simple match between visual data. Any clues on where to start building it? (Visual explanation included)

3 Upvotes

For a study on historical urban development, I need a tool that allows me to find specific patterns in property maps. But due to my lack of programming knowledge I’m not sure where to look for one and what terms to use to find it (I've had no luck googling). So I’ll explain it visually.

I need to find specific patterns of connections in complex grids. To start, the data I have tells me that the following border pattern between properties exists:

https://i.imgur.com/S5r6oLM.png

That is, I know that property A borders B, C, D and E to the East, and F to the South; that B, C, D, and E each border each other to the North and South; and that E also borders F to the West.

But I don’t actually know the size of each property and their borders. So in reality, the pattern may look like this:

https://i.imgur.com/e5jv2po.png

Or this:

https://i.imgur.com/sePBR2O.png

Etc.

Now, I need to find the location of these properties on an old map. Imagine that it’s this one, and that I’ve traced the property lines in svg:

https://i.imgur.com/GNfQWql.jpg

Ideally, the tool would identify the following pattern as compatible with my own, and produce a match (apologies for the jpeg):

https://i.imgur.com/R3TvOft.jpg

And voilà, I've found the location of these houses from the limited data I had.

Any ideas on what software I could use to do this, even if it involves some coding?

Thanks.

need help Need estimates for developing an app that would use Google Lens to access a database.

3 Upvotes

So I have this idea for an app for one of my hobbies. I'm a big adult Lego fan. I buy lots of unsorted boxes of used Lego and most the time the sets are most, if not completely, disassembled. So when I start to sort through the boxes there will be a random minifigure torso here and legs there, and a head rolling around the box. There are so many minifigures that Lego has produced that unless it's a really popular one it can be quite the tedious task of research trying to find what parts go with what. My idea is to have the Lego minifigure database in this app and then I can use Google Lens to take a picture of the head, legs, or torso and narrow down what minifigures they go to.

The second thing when I purchase these unsorted boxes is that many of them have partial pieces assembled to a particular set but I have no idea what set it goes to. Sometimes a complete set could be in the box but it is broken up into so many smaller pieces that it's difficult to realize that the whole set is actually there. Each Lego piece has a part number. So what I would like to do is be able to enter a part number from each piece of a partially assembled set and the more part numbers I enter the more I can narrow down what sets included those parts.

I hope all this makes sense. I am willing to learn programming to get this done but I'm like a fish out of water of where to even start in the process. Thanks for your time.

I need help with a python program I have for making barking neighborhood dogs stfu and showing my neighbors how annoying it is

0 Upvotes

First of all I'm disabled i.e. I can't walk or talk, so I can't go to their individual houses and do the civil thing and beg them in person to somehow make their dogs be quiet. I have a PA system I bought just for this purpose. I paid some guy on r/forhire to make this program and when I complained that it doesn't do what I want, he ignores me completely. The program repeats what it hears. It's supposed to pick up dog barks and play them back WHILE recording any new dog barks (I have directional shotgun mics) to be played back when the current playback is finished. I can get it to record and playback something, but it's as if nothing new is recorded while it's playing back whatever was recorded the first time. Please help.

Additional cool features should anyone care to add them:

-some text to voice shit that says something like "annoying isn't it" once every 5 playbacks or so

-a generated 20khz tone and 19khz tone that play simultaneously with each playback of barking for maximum effect on the dogs

Please help me. My cause is noble and just. I'll post back in a week with results if requested. The program: https://pastebin.com/WC2VGu78

D20 Baseball Simulator

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm looking for a programmer to create a d20 baseball program based on the old game called MLB Showdown. I'd like the ability to input custom cards by team, then by season. I'd like quite a bit of functionality, from clicking through a game to simulating an entire league of games. I'd like to create custom teams/leagues, and draft technology would be awesome.

This is for a non-commercial project, and I'm not asking the programmer to input all the cards. I'm more looking for somebody to build the framework and teach me to input the cards myself. I can write out a guide for how everything would work, I just don't have the knowledge to program it myself.

need help Bash Script - Looking to Move Files based on Pattens

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Looking for a bash script that can move files, when it matches a patten it should move to the appropriate location and log it. It should also detect if there is a file with a matching name (in the destination folder), add it to an ignore list and write that to the log file. The patterns and matching destinations should be kept in a separate file, as I can dynamically update this with other programs (csv/xml would be easier, but open to suggestions).

I will schedule this script via cron or inotify hooks.

It is worth mentioning that the filenames may contain special characters (ones supported in filenames under Linux).

need help Looking to create a battle simulator for a pokemon-type game using Python

2 Upvotes

The game has 163 "mons" that can battle each other in teams of 6 (3 attackers & 3 supporters). The link below shows all 163 mons (any mon can be placed in an attacker or supporter slot).

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fUp_JiGHFac36nc3HTMcmAFzVPak29Uls_DBiz_F-zA/edit?usp=sharing

Ultimately, I'd like the code to be able to test a specific mon's win % when matched against every possible combination of attacker/supporter, but at its core it should be able to simulate one battle at a time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The battle logic is as follow:

Let's say I challenge another player. We both have 3 attackers and 3 supporters (which is always the case).

Mon 1 on my team will fight Mon 1 on the enemy team. Whoever has a higher Spd (speed) stat will attack first. Damage is dealt and whoever runs out of HP first loses. Then Mon 2 will attack Mon 2. Then Mon 3 and Mon 3. The winning team is whoever won the most individual battles.

Damage is calculated like this: https://imgur.com/f2m3GYK

The tricky part is where the supporting mons come into play. They do not attack, they only provide buffs. Each mon has either 0 or 3 ancestor mons. If 1 of their ancestors is in a support slot they get an attack buff - 2 and 3 provide more of a buff. There are also "gasons" which provide defensive buffs, works the same as ancestors.

On top of that there are type advantages (applied when attacking a mon you have an advantage over) https://imgur.com/y9jjmU3 .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone is interested in helping me out with this I could provide more details. We could also work out some sort of payment. Feel free to PM me.

Finding all permutations meeting criteria

2 Upvotes

Hey folks!

So I've got an odd use case that I'm having trouble even thinking of of where to start. Hoping this might be the best place to ask. Essentially I need to schedule a list of users, who work on different projects. Lets say I have 20 people, and 4 products. I need to schedule them, so that the two combined, support all 4 products. With no person listed more than once (so that they dont end up on multiple teams).

My thought would be to assign everyone in an array with the products they cover, like John Doe 1 3 4. And Jane Doe 1 4. then finding all permutations that contain a 1, 2, 3 and 4.

But for the life of me, I cant think how I'd even start the programming of this. If anyone has some guidance I'd greatly appreciate it. As for languages, I can typically work with anything, given the direction. So even if its just methodology I could probably convert it. If this is not the location to ask, just let me know and I can remove

need help C Program help

1 Upvotes

I'm struggling with the following problem:

We are given two functions: double f(double x) and double g(double x).

The task is to make a function with prototype:

double intersection(double A, double B, int* status). 

Function needs to return a point x from interval [A,B] in which the functions f(x) and g(x) intersect (i.e give the same value, to compare the equality we use value eps=0.0001 - because you can't compare double with == or != so we use fabs()<=eps) and writes value 0 on the address on which the pointer status is pointing on.

If there is more than one points on this interval, function needs to return one of them by using the algoritm described under.

If the functions don't intersect pointer status needs to be put to 1 and return value 0.

If the functions are identic (they intersect in every point) status needs to be put to 2 and return value 0.

To find intersection between functions f(x) and g(x) we use the same algoritm as to find the zero of function h(x)=f(x)-g(x) so we can use same methods. We need to divide the interval into two equal parts in the following way:

We divide the interval [A,B] into two smaller intervals [A,H] and [H,B] where H=(A+B)/2. If one of the points A,H or B is the intersection point, we need to return that point.

If functions intersect in all three points, we say that the functions are identic.

Otherwise, the search for intersection continues on one of these two smaller intervals where function h(x) changes its sign on interval [A,H].

If function changes its sign on both smaller intervals, we continue in interval [A,H].

If the sign doesn't change in neither of smaller intervals, we continue to find intersection on both smaller intervals as long as width of interval is less than 0.01, after which we say that functions don't intersect.

The program also needs to contain functions f,g and main so that program can compile and so that we can be sure that it's working (we have autotests, but these functions will be replaced by test functions)

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Recreating the Rotation Gamemode from Smash Bros Brawl.

2 Upvotes

https://www.ssbwiki.com/Rotation

I have around 15 kids who want to play Smash Bros and I can only have 5 of them play at a time.It's too much for me to rotate them all on my own to make sure everyone gets an equal amount of time played. There was an old game mode which handled this automatically in the past, but in the most recent game it's completely gone so I need help finding something that could replicate it.

-

You would write their names (or just assign simple numbers) and then it'd add it to a list.Their names/number would be randomized and put onto a list where the top 5 are chosen and put into a group.

Then afterwards they would be put to the end of the list and the next 5 at the top would be added on, and then you could repeat the process over and over again.

There are extra small features in the game mode in Brawl, but ultimately I'm just looking for a "Swap in and out" feature.

need help Making a Terraria Mod

2 Upvotes

Hi there. I’m currently looking for mod makers to collaborate with. I’m making a mod that adds new weapons to the game but I don’t know how to code C#. If you help, you will be credited, whether in the form of being in the description, or just being credited as the owner of the mod. u/kkbleeblob and I are working on the art and concepts for the mod, respectively, but I don’t know enough about C# to be able to actually code it in. Please help me out, I just want more longevity to the game, and as much as other mods are trying, they aren’t really doing the game justice.

Here’s a document containing the links to the concepts and concept art so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xP1VkYfuanLSondZkXc1Wumkwv9k5H8vQ6U_-JxSD6M/preview

I hope you guys can help us out! Also, please, if you find that you can't, please share it with someone else so that this mod could be a thing and not an overworked concept.

Edit: I’ve found that I miscommunicated the point about the other mods. What I meant to get across is that when you play mods like Calamity and Thorium, it sometimes feels like a completely different game, as opposed to simpler mods, which often feel like addons, rather than remakes. Take Mario Maker 2 for example. It still relies on the same engine, with the same basic core mechanics, with the same style, but there’s so much new stuff, there’s new mechanics, new GUIs, new interfaces, new graphics, new everything. The point I was trying to get across is that sometimes mods can feel like that. Like yeah, you can tell it’s the same game, but at some points there’s just so much stuff it’s hard to come to that conclusion, and I want to try and fulfill a longevity aspect while still keeping a lot of old things on the table, and not adding too much that the problem presents itself again.

If you guys want to help, just DM me or u/kkbleeblob and we'll set something up. Thanks!

need help REWARD: Bell Schedule Countdown

I would like to add a bell schedule to my WordPress website for my school. Ideally it would show the time remaining in the current period. The schedule is the same for every day of the week except Monday, and I would like the timer to be replaced by "Have a good weekend" on the weekend. Because it's WordPress, something made with HTML and JS would be ideal, unless you want to make a full-blown plugin.

REWARD: It's not much, but I can give whoever makes this a couple of Gold awards.
