Hello,

How do you revert back to a previous version of Google Chrome?

Sometime yesterday I noticed a change in the appearance of Google Chrome, in that the address bar now has a light blue border as shown in the following screenshot:


My current version of Google Chrome:

However, sometime later I went to join some friends playing a game at a website called slither.io (where players compete as snakes of different colors and sizes). However, after beginning to play, I noticed that the game image was jiggling or shaking to the point that I had to turn it off. The frame of the window itself does not move but the entire image (background and players) trembles as you might expect a picture on the wall to tremble during an earthquake.

The shaking movement is accompanied by a significant lag. I have experienced lag issues in the past but they always manifest as a sudden freeze for 2-3 seconds followed by a catch-up burst to put everything into its real-time position.

Interestingly, the shaking and lag become much worse by going into a congested area (ie the more snakes in the field of view, the worse the movement), and is almost nonexistent if you are in the outskirts with no one else around.

I've searched Google quite a bit for a solution and have tried each of the following:

• Zoom in/out
• Restart Chrome
• Restart computer
• Empty the Chrome history
• Chrome > Show advanced settings > scroll down to…

Hi

I am going to begin tutoring in the AP subjects that I took, 6 of them..

These days, do kids expect an actual book text? Will I look like a nimrod if I don't have a digital textbook?
I'm going to buy this book to get me fully back to speed. here
How can it be digital? Not all kids can afford tablets,right?

I am writing a game in Lua on the Corona platform. Currently it's pretty simple.
I am writing the memory usage to the screen every frame using gcinfo().
Why does my memory usage increase to 1.5MB then back down to 800Kb then repeats?
Is it normal?

Hi
For a piece I'm writing, I need to explain aspects of open-source code to normal people.
I cant seem to find a list of well-known open source projects.
Most people don't know what Eclipse, Linux and such are.

Is there a way to explain it to non-Dev people, with examples they'd know?
Which movies have had dozens of writers! ?  

Thanks

Hi
There is a domain I'd like for one of my projects, but when I go there, it is just a pointer to another site that has nothing to do with my domain name.

I once bought a domain for a project I might do, and someone in Australia abducted it from me. Must have been a trademark.

How do I file a trademark so I can usurp this person and get my domain, so that I can kick these people aside? Is that it? A trademark? I doubt they have one. Can I check it safely?

Hi
My PyCharm is giving surprising red-underlining on import abc, object, and from abc import
Up til now, my chess engine has been working on a player class, but I'd like it to be an abstract base class. I am re-designing it
Must I do any special entries in the Project Settings panel? my code below doesn't seem to be a problem,



My abc is :

import abc

class ChessPlayer(object):
    __metaclass__= abc.ABCMeta

    @abc.abstractmethod
    def get_white_move(self, white_moves):
        """white player chooses the best move for this turn"""
        return

    @abc.abstractmethod
    def get_black_move(self, black_moves):
        """black player chooses the best move for this turn"""
        return

My derivative class is:

import abc
from abc_base import ChessPlayer:


class RandomPlayer(Object):

Hi

One of my latest ideas will require investment, and probably a global community. I've done a non-trivial blog already. I must move on... My invulnerable chess engine is done.
Is there any kind of trust / purse available that people can submit their money to, having a guarantee that it won't be spent on anything other than the project in question?
Crowdfunding is just a money pit, but is there any guarantee that the fundees will not spend it on hookers and beer?

I want my potential investors to have no worries - a guarantee that the money will go only towards the project, an overseer?

Thanks

Hello.

I want to make a snake game using DELPHI. The basic, the snake eats the apple and it grows longer. I have the apple generating in random places. The only thing that I cant get is the delay. So i need the blocks to follow the first block in a train effect, but so far they are all stuck together and when I change direction they all move together instead of being in a 'train' effect.

Can anyone help me? I don't know if the explanation was detailed enough.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I have difficulties importing auto-rigged Maya Characters into Unity.
Because Unity can not find reference bones or something like that.

Where do I wrong?

Thank you

I'm using Android Studio and I would like to be able to pickup am image from the gallery, resize it and make it fit inside a rounded square (of about 300x300px) by maintening the correct aspect ratio. At the moment, I'm able to resize it and display it as a circle with this code:

FixBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), uri);
                bitmap_to_save = scaleBitmapAndKeepRation(FixBitmap, 320, 320);

                RoundedBitmapDrawable roundDrawable = RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(getResources(), bitmap_to_save);
                roundDrawable.setCircular(true);
                p_avatar.setImageDrawable(roundDrawable);

Select all Open in new window

However, I would like to know if it is possible to make the bitmap look like my attached image. Moreover, it would be important for me to resize the image without losing the original aspect ratio.


It is not exactly a well square rounded figure, so I'm not sure that it is possible to do it in Android.

I hope you can help me, thanks!

EDIT: I'm using Picasso library for the moment, and it seems to work. Anyway, I would like to keep always the same picture size (300x300 px) and the aspect ratio. How can I do it?

Hi all,
I have models of Maya (which I can manuplate in Maya) to Import into Unity, which format you think is better, considering all advantages?
.ma or .fbx?

thank you.

Hi
My Python chess GUI is coming on well.
The 8x8, black and white is perfectly structured, colored at a changeable square_size

The white squares are just the white window background.
However, my transparent pieces don't render on a black square (rectangle draw.rect)
They are pasted under it! I can move the piece location by a few pixels, and see it emerge slowly from under the black square.

Is this a known issue?

Here is my relevant code, there is no code between them

pygame.draw.rect(screen, square_color, (x*square_size,y*square_size,square_size,square_size), 0)
       
            screen.blit(white_king,(x*square_size,y*square_size))

Hi
My invulnerable :) chess AI is going to be done, but I'd appreciate some pointers on a chess GUI in Python
I have a legal-move generator coming on nicely, I have pyGame.
Right now, I am printf'ing the board state to the Pycharm console, list of lists, White upper case and black lower case characters, init'ed like this:
It is legible in the fixed width font printout method below, but in array format - a GUI would ease the pain.

self.board = [[' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ',' '] for i in range(8)]


        self.board[0] = ['R', 'N', 'B', 'Q', 'K', 'B', 'N', 'R']
        self.board[1] = ['P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P']
        self.board[7] = ['r', 'n', 'b', 'q', 'k', 'b', 'n', 'r']
        self.board[6] = ['p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p']

Select all Open in new window

This is my ChessBoard class's print method...

    def print(self):

        for i in range(7,-1,-1):
            print(i, '>', self.board[i])

Select all Open in new window

What might the best GUI approach be?
Would I need transparent pieces over my own board GUI, to do select and drag and drop movements w a mouse?

Thanks
