Re: Mistakes in game design

pubby, I refuse to listen to you unless you can prove some sort of credibility. I could make a report tomorrow and say that 99% of kids die when surfing the internet. I obviously have no credibility, so I'll be widely untrusted. Same applies here. Ironically, your topic advertises game design, howev...

Re: [SDL] Very Simple Bouncy Ball Simulation Tutorial

Oh, a quick note. I'm sure it's not relevant, because I did it and it still worked, but using "SDL_FreeSurface(screen);" is supposed to be bad, and return "undefined results". I don't know though; it's never bothered me :P. It's unnecessary, SDL_Quit takes care of the screen sur...

Re: How to get the x coordinate and y coordinate of tilesheet

Fixed

Code: Select all

unsigned short j = 0; //I'm unsigned short crazy lately, ignore it if you want d:
for (unsigned short i = 0; i < (tilesheet.w/32)*(tilesheet.h*32); i++)
{
if (i * 32 >= tilesheet.w)
{
j++;
}
x = i*32;
y = j*32
}

Re: How to get the x coordinate and y coordinate of tilesheet

Actually

Code: Select all

unsigned short j = 0; //I'm unsigned short crazy lately, ignore it if you want d:
for (unsigned short i = 0; i < (tilesheet.w/32)*(tilesheet.h*32); i++)
{
if (i * 32 >= tilesheet.w)
{
j++;
i=0;
}
x = i*32;
y = j*32
}

Re: How to get the x coordinate and y coordinate of tilesheet

I believe you're doing this in a loop? if so... (assumes tiles are 32x32 unsigned short j = 0; //I'm unsigned short crazy lately, ignore it if you want d: unsigned short i = 0; for (unsigned short i = 0; i < tilesheet.w/32; i++) { if (i * 32 >= tilesheet.w && j*32 < tilesheet.h) { j++; i=0; ...

[SDL] Very Simple Bouncy Ball Simulation Tutorial

Bouncy Ball Physics Simulation Tutorial Getting the very basic grasps of things Hello! This is my first tutorial. It sprouted from being inspired by TheAustech's dynamic 2d lighting tutorial here (good read). The purpose of this tutorial is to take your knowledge of 2d Vectors and apply it to somet...

Re: Should I modify SFML???

God I feel realy embaressed :oops: :oops: :oops: Honestly, why in fuck's name would you be using doubles? Why would you EVER need that kind of precision? That's only for exact numbers and scientific calculations. And keep in mind that there is not a 1-to-1 relationship between an IEEE 32-bit single...

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/913/84280261.png I'm not very happy with the rendering *yet*. If the particles rotate around the cursor too fast, then you can tell that the whole thing is made of lines... which I want to avoid. would it be viable to see if, say, the current point is greater than...

Re: Should I modify SFML???

I'm really confused.... How big are your input values? Do you know what the range of a long is?... //Calculate Magnitude.// GotoX -= Object.GetPosition().x; GotoY -= Object.GetPosition().y; long double Magnitude; Why do you need a long double? float is fine... Magn(GotoX, GotoY, Magnitude); Curious ...

^ This is true, SDL_Quit() takes care of the buffer for you ;), so don't worry about it.
I have learned something then :)
