Elysian Shadows

thanks for the help, will take a look at it.

I've been following an article at http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/2dRotatedRectCollision/page2.asp . I've read through the article a bunch of times and wrote out what I understood in code, I'm not sure if I'm misinterpreting something, but my code always returns a collision. an...

I just started learning how to make makefiles, and am wondering how to move the .o files to their own folder to make everything neater. Below is my working makefile, any ideas? CC=gcc CFLAGS=-I -lSDL -lSDL_image -lSDL_mixer -lGLU -Wall DEPS = piece.h engine.h include.h OBJ = main.o piece.o engine.o ...

Great site, reading the tutorial now. Thanks for the help.

I've been trying to follow the nehe tutorial on this http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=30 . I don't understand the formula they are using Xn dot X = d Xn, X are vectors and d is a floating point value. Xn is its normal. X is a point on its surface. d is a float representing the ...

sorry for the delay, thanks for the help the Pythagorean theorem works great.

I am using SDL and have a circle on screen which I would like to use for a button. Which method of collision detection would be best for this scenario?

new update, everything should work now, the only thing not really working now is having the coloured squares displayed, besides that I got tired of messing around with the text on screen so you have to release all keys to enter a new letter in, its kinda annoying but it should be fixed by next update.

I didn't realize before that I could us var.c_str() to use strings in functions like when you open a file to read out of it, I ended up switching to string. Thanks for the help. I have another question though, say I have the following code: if (event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN && keydown == false) ...

This is a great game, http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdlroads/ its a clone of skyroads (dos), I've just picked up this game like 10 mins ago, so this isn't really in depth, but I really enjoy it. Its available for all platforms, and they have an irc channel (how I found out about it) #sdlroads.

thanks for the help Live-Dimension, I didn't think about the fact that chars are not able to hold unicode.

I am having a problem following lazy foos tutorial, I decided to use char instead of a string, the problem that I am encountering is that when I use event.key.keysym.unicode it does not update the array of chars, and the problem with event.key.keysym.sym is that it does not recognize capital letters...

I'm not sure how much you can learn from my code, but if enough people are interested I'll release it, but for the mean time I have a new release, I should note that some functions aren't working 100% in windows, like loading and saving, seems like windows puts cout to file, which is kinda annoying,...
