Major off-topic discussion. Slooooowwwwwww day at work. I am currently eagerly awaiting 5pm, studying for my c++ final tomorrow, and purchasing the HD remake of Turtles in Time for XBlive arcade.

Motherboard - Intel i7 range (Definitely. Go with the new generation. This will leave you open for future improvements) Ram - at least 12 gigs (Whaaaat? Unless you are running several virtual machines on this box I would go with 4gigs. Also, you will need a 64bit OS to support any more than that any...

My grandmother (who has an ebay addiction) has been trying to get this game... So I'll probably end up playing it sooner or later no matter what :D On the subject of grandmothers: Years ago I worked at GameStop at a local mall and this old woman (she was over 70, I saw her license during transactio...

Hey Guys, I've decided that I'd like to start learning a higher level scripting language on the side while I am primarily working on C/++ projects. I was hoping I could get some opinions on a language that would be fun to learn and useful to boot. This language does not have to be catered towards ga...

I hope this service is just on one server! You may want to give these guys a call and provide them with v2.0 of that service.

Start with the game and code the engine as you encounter your needs. I definitely agree with this. Once you have an idea of everything you want your game to do, you will know what features the engine will need to have. I am sure you will find here and there that you need to add additional functiona...

Has anyone caught this show on the Discovery Channel? I just watched it for the first time last night and found it to be extremely entertaining.

BTTF was pretty kick ass.

//Load the sounds flap = Mix_LoadWAV( "Flap.wav" ); if ( flap = NULL ) { return 1; } When i start the program it doesn't play any sound and yes my speakers are on. ;) Be careful when using the assignment operator = instead of the comparison operator ==. Looks like you set your sound to NU...

Dunno if I should get that one, though it seems nice. Can you review it for us? or at least note it's best/worst features? Zero Punctuation Game Review http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/844-Wii-Sports-Resort Game Tips/Sarcastic comments by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw:...

this is exactly why there is a influx of sub par programmers. they think that using every feature of language, or implementing every know design pattern or design methodology makes them great programmers, or have the attitude that if someone doesn't they are sub par programmers or should stick to a...

Just picked this up over the weekend. I am thoroughly impressed with the wii motion plus add-on and all of the new games they added into it. The frisbee toss is probably my favorite thusfar. Anyone else grab this yet?

Had my first taste of polymorphism in C++ the other day in my summer session class. I've got to admit that I'm thrilled at its possibilities and am really glad (if only for learning inheritance and polymophism) that I took this class. That is all. Discuss amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic: t...
