Overlapping ball spawns can do that causing a chain reaction. Something like that could be done. How you handle the spawning of the new ball is what I played with a bit before. You will see better collision detection changing to: g.fillOval(ball.getX(), ball.getY(), 1 * ball.getRadius(), 1 * ball.getRadius()); Re: This is me venting 3 Days Ago by Reverend Jim It's hard for me to imagine that all of the pleasure I've gotten out of Daniweb, the challenges, the insights, the friendships since I joined in 2010, are all dependent on the largesse of just one very talented person.

Sticking with the Sci-fi genre, although a bit more lighthearted, my husband and I are currently watching Resident Alien.

The good news is that it's still under warranty and I have a spare laptop. The bad news it that it's also an ASUS, but at least it's an older one from before they started making (in my opinion) crap. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 4 Weeks Ago by toneewa USB-C ports can wear out, and become loose after 6 months of use. I've heard there was a dip in quality from ASUS. I haven't experienced it myself. I have 2 monitors from them, 1 has over 73,500 hours and ~98% uptime. Ironically, I was looking at this [ASUS Vivobook](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-vivobook-16-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-5800hs-with-12gb-… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 4 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >USB-C ports can wear out, and become loose after 6 months of use Seem like bad design to me. As for the price, the ASUS models I bought were both the best price that met my specs. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 4 Weeks Ago by toneewa Indeed, I recommend to anyone that has USB ports to use the magnetic plugs for mini and micro USB ports. I see you could have the Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, so I'm sure it did cost little more. That would check one of my boxes. 144hz+ would be another. I don't need bloodshot eyes from 60hz. If you are a DIY fixer, you can also [replace the TB4 ports](… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine. I wish I'd checked it further because I started having problems as soon as I got it home and powered up. First of all, they replaced the motherboard so when I got it back it had been wiped and reset. First thing I noticed was that the … Re: What are you watching on TV? 2 Weeks Ago by pritaeas I liked the concept, but some choices in the movie I remember I thought were strange. However, this is a while back, so please don't ask specifics. Resident Alien started funny, but didn't grab my attention. Latest I quite liked was "Vis-a-vis" (Spanish). Re: What are you watching on TV? 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim We watched Resident Alien. Liked season 1 but it kind of petered out after that. I have not heard of 3%. What is it about and who is in it? I can't find it on IMDB. We just finished Apples Never Fall, and 3 Body Problem is in the queue. Re: What are you watching on TV? 2 Weeks Ago by pritaeas Doesn't the link I posted open? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4922804/ This is the tagline on IMDB: "A post-apocalyptic thriller set in near-future Brazil, where a select few are allowed to join a privileged society after undergoing an intense and competitive process." It is a Brasilian production, so I doubt I can mention anyone you… Re: What are you watching on TV? 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Doesn't the link I posted open? My mistake. I just scrolled back to the last couple of posts, not far enough to see the link. Dani - if you like Resident Alien I suggest you watch the movie, [Tucker and Dale vs Evil](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465522/). Re: Things I hate about TV shows 2 Weeks Ago by Dani Currently the thing I hate most about TV shows is how much time elapses between seasons. I feel like I've been waiting for season 2 of Severance on AppleTV for *forever*! (It's been over 2 years already since season 1 debuted.) Speaking of that, is there ever going to be a second season for Squid Game? I can't imagine that Netflix wouldn’t invest … Re: Things I hate about TV shows 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Fer sher. You pretty much have to watch the previous season again before you start the next one. I'm still waiting for season 2 of The Old Man (Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow). At my age sometimes I lose the thread if two weeks goes by between episodes. Sometimes I'll wait until the end of a season before I watch any of it. I especially hate it when a … Re: Things I hate about TV shows 2 Weeks Ago by pritaeas > is there ever going to be a second season for Squid Game Yes, already announced, available soon. Re: Things I hate about TV shows 2 Weeks Ago by Dani That's my point, though. Gone are the days when a show would break for a summer and the next season would start up again in the fall. Re: Things I hate about TV shows 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Gone are the days That's pretty much the case for everything. I remember when TV sucked all through summer vacation and I couldn't wait for the end of September for the new seasons to start. Of course it was bittersweet because September also meant back to school. I'll mention a few more things that may have been mentioned before but I … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by toneewa If the power connector was replaced with the motherboard, then your charging cord is suspect. If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim When I got it back they had replaced both the motherboard and the power supply and I checked in the store to verify there were no power issues. I suspect you are correct about them not reconnecting the touchpad as that was not working in Linux either. As for GPT vs NTFS, I have never formatted to anything but NTFS, and when I originally got the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update …
