YOU CAN DO CROSS PLATFORM ON THAT!!!!! :-D How? I (foolishly) wrote my entire project in that and have been trying to port it with Code::Blocks. You definitely can. VS allows you to customize the build process, you can even build using makefiles. Hell, I've compiled code for the Nintendo Wii on VS....

I'm also doing a similar project (it has kinda stalled for some time now, because of lack of time mainly), so i'll be looking forward to following your progress with this

Well, my first game system was the Gameboy Color (i know, kinda sad having missed the NES era...). My first game was Pokemon Gold, i really enjoyed it. What got me interested in programming, though, were some glitches in the game (i'm sure most of you remember the cloning bug). I was very interested...

Check this link and see if you do everything it says, especially setting the material color correctly: http://www.sjbaker.org/steve/omniv/opengl_lighting.html If you cannot figure it out still, post some of the light setup and the rendering code. By the way, the old built in opengl lighting is horri...

Ok I guess a better way of rewording the "question" would have been what is the best way to store a linked list in a text file. =) If all your list nodes have 1 parent and 1 child you can just put the data in order with some sort of separator between nodes and lists. Now, if your list is ...

Here's a very good informative video from TED.



I fear to think of what the internet will become if these bills (or future similar ones) come to pass.

I don't have experience linking to libraries based on relative folder location, but a common trick I've seen is to have a "bin" folder that contains your main binary and all the DLLs. Then, in the main directory, there is a single script to run it (either a .bat or a .sh). That keeps it f...

If you think that looks messy, look at the Steam installation folder (or any game for that matter ). As for your question, i didn't find anything with a quick google search, but i might look more into it later when i have the time.

OK. Sounds like it was being too strict and even regulating sites when it wasn't much their fault. I don't know if I'd consider piracy JUST endangering big business though. Not that I back up what the bill said, but I think piracy can hurt more than just major corporations; not everyone in the crea...

I already know the answer to the first one. Concerning the second one: Why don't we have a spoiler tag? I have tried to make the text the same color as the background, so highlight it if you want to read it :) Actually the answer is a bit different. I used the same trick, so highlight below if you ...

Your frustum's near plane is 0.1 unit away from the camera. Since you do NOT change the view matrix, the camera is positioned at 0 and looking down the NEGATIVE z axis. Thus, the vertices you have defined are *behind* your view. Set a normal FoV and either flip the vertices' z coordinate to negative...

You need to store the velocity of each bullet separately and keep updating all of them, each using its own velocity. So, for example, say you click and create a bullet. You calculate its direction and velocity. Now, for each frame you must update it's position in order for it to keep moving (note th...

Ok, let's see. If i understand correctly, when a mouse click occurs, you increase the counter by 1 and create a new bullet. However, if you look at your CreateBullet function, it loops over all the bullets. You only need to setup the new bullet, not change every single one. In fact, you don't seem t...

Hmm, it seems that you're getting the mouse position every frame and that's why it keeps following the mouse. You should only get the input once (when you click) and calculate the velocity at that point, rather than on every redraw of the sprite. I'm assuming here that you're calling Draw every fram...

Here's my list: -Greek (native) -English since i was 6 -Japanese for 4-5 years (i have neglected it for a long, LONG time unfortunately, due to time constraints) -German for 2 years at school, i'd love to learn more at some point. -Russian, i can read and write, and that's about it. No idea what i'm...
