A 'for' Problem

I loaded an object [square-like model] and copied it 9 times into the memory using GDK. What I'm trying to do is position that object, something like this: http://www.imagesl.info/imagine/Anonymous/Anonymous/9.png But I can't do it right. Here's what I tried so far: Attempt1: for(WorldObjects = 1; W...

Re: Nintendo DS Homebrew: Where to start?

I for one would recomand you to use Libnds, and not PALib, hence last time I checked PALib forces you to use an outdated version of DevkitPro. Also, the size of the .nds file is slightly bigger with PALib.

Re: Nintendo DS Homebrew: Where to start?

I bought my Supercard from gameplay.ro, a local distribuitor from my country. In order to develop homebrew applications for the DS, I recommend using Devkitpro . You can use both C and C++.

Re: Anything I should know about SDL before I start using it?

I'm quite good with C++, did a couple of big projects for some companies in my town. Got SDL up and running. First thing I noticed is that I have to do my own functions, which really rocks my socks. I could do like a wrapper for it, and use it later one, which really pawns. Think I'm gonna enter the...

Anything I should know about SDL before I start using it?

The romanian Game Dev community has started a new contest. Theme is: Scrolling SHUMP, eighter 2D or 3D. I could actually do this very easy using DarkGDK, an library with which I am quite used to, and that I used to develop most of my projects. Thing is, I'm using it for like 2 years, and I want to t...

[Video Series]Tic Tac Toe - Multiplayer engine dev

Since I'm on a 2 week brake from working on Swift I started working on a game idea I had in mind for a while now. The core of that game "spins" around a Tic-Tac-Toe game, so I decided to tackle that first, and code the mechanics behind the game. My aim is to develop a multiplayer Tic-Tac-T...

Re: What puts you "In the mood" to dev?

Yeah, I know what you mean! I remember working on the jump code for Swift(re-writing it for the 12th time I think), and I was really down, but somehow I managed to fix some bugs with it, and tweak it! When I saw that Xelu(the designer) didn't have any thing bad to say about it, I was extremely happy...

[C++/DarkGDK]Gravity Simulation

A small piece of code i did not to long ago, that "simulates" the earth gravity! Kinda buggy, but maybe someone will find it useful. Utub Link #include "DarkGDK.h" #include "SC_Collision.h" #include "math.h" void MovementSiColliziune(); float gravity = -0.28f;...

Re: What puts you "In the mood" to dev?

I usually get really enthusiastic when a game idea suddenly pops into my head, and I start making a prototype! Then I just have to find ways to keep my enthusiasm at a high level, if I want to finish the project.

Re: making character walk by itself

You can position 2 "objects"! Lets say you have the NPC (N), Object A and object B, and you want him to go from A to B! You do something like this: Point object N to Object B coordinates. Move object N. If object N is close to object B, point object N towards object A. If N is close to A, ...
