Elysian Shadows

Thanks, i'll try that. and what do you mean 'costly' will it slow the game?

I remember I had this exact same problem the first time I made pong haha. I think what you might want to do is, not set it randomly. Instead something like this: speed.x = 2; speed.y = 2; while (gameIsRunning) { if (collisionWithVerticalWall) speed.x *= -1; if (collisionWithHorizontalWall) speed.y ...

Hi guys, i need some help. I'm starting to build some games for practice, and i wrote a simple battle ship game and some more simple stuff. And now i'm working on a two players pong game, and i have a problem. I want the ball to go to some random directions, so what i did is create him an x and y ve...

So you say that the buffer and the back buffer are like two sides of a paper, and every time the engine draws the frame on the back side of the paper, and then "flips" it, and the frame is being shown, and then it draws again at the back and flips it repeatably? that makes sense, thanks fo...

I can't get this stuff for free because i'm not learning c++ in school... I'll just stick with the express edition.

Its too expensive.. maybe i'll buy it if i'll start a big project with my friends. About visual studio 2010, does it have an express edition? like visual c++ 2010 express edition?

I think i'll just use express... maybe in the future i'll check the proffesional. thanks for the help.

I guess thats what i'll do... But does the proffesional edition cost money? And if it does, how much?

So, does it worth the money, or is it free like express?
