Re: First Console?

My first console was a N64 too. I loved all those adventure games like Banjoo Kazooie ( both games ) and Mario N64. Recently I found out that there is a game called Conker and played it on a N64 Emulator - its about a squirrel that has a hangover and the game is about finding a way home. Man, thats ...

Re: Censorship gone crazy

I think video games should be considered as art and not as a stupid game for kids. Movies like Saw are also considered as art and so would not be censored at all. Honestly, I never played a game with more blood spread than Saw. When it comes to censoring, I always have to think about something that ...

Re: Difference between MUD and MMORPG

I dont know exactly what a MUD is - but from the games you named, all of them are not realtime.
WoW,Guildwars -> realtime
Ogame,Travian -> not realtime
So it isnt possible.

Re: [GroundUpEngine] 3D Engine Progress

What model format are you using at the moment?
I think somewhere in this topic I've read .obj - but isn't .obj only for static geometry?

Re: Schools`

I think it depends 100% on the teacher. If a teacher sucks - the whole subject sucks. My whole classe failed at a test because the teacher was unable to explain ANYTHING - GREAT! Our teacher in programming is just awful. We should learn C in the second grade, but we learn somekind of C/C++. Most of ...

Re: Multithreading

So if I got it right - semaphores are locking a variable.
So the other thread still has to wait until its unlocked, right? =/

Multithreading

Hey! So I'm thinking of implementing multithreading in my latest game. I thought about it alot and came up with two solutions. 1. Make a rendering thread and a logic thread. The problem is - that most of the time one of the threads will be idle. Example: I'm rendering the scene with my thread - but ...

Re: Direct _

DirectX is a windows api for displaying graphics on your monitor.
So it tells your graphic card what to render and how.
