i want to get a dreamcast

Now that I have a job i'm deciding to rectify the situation. Anyone got any suggestions on what peripherals i should get (I'm going with the TRY ALL THE ...

Re: Website hosts

Thanks for the help so far dan. One more question before I commit to a decision, what hosting plan did you use with hostgator? My website will be similar in structure to the elysian shadows site, but will obviously not have as much traffic load. Ill also be using two separate domains, so ill be mana...

Re: Website hosts

yea so far the idea is to register domains through namecheap. i don't know if I'd want to host it there though, so I'd be willing to give host gator a look. It's a new site so i dont expect serious traffic, so ill go for something that gives me the most bang for my buck. for that reason, if its init...

Re: Your view on Secrecy while in development

so i started looking into copyright and found that [quick disclaimer: im not even close to a lawyer, so you'd have to double check me on this] the united states follows the bernes convention for copyright. this means if you publish your game in a public manner, with obvious way of telling that it wa...

Re: Website hosts

thanks for the reply dan; i was lucky enough to find a couple available domains. and because now i know you guys are using hostgator, im feeling biased towards that because you guys seem to be doing well with it (if there are some gotchas with host gator I should know about, please let me know). I d...

Re: Website hosts

also sorry in advance if this is on an inappropriate discussion board. i wasn't sure where to put it, so since it kinda has to do with marketing the game, which is part of game development, i went with that logic and posted it here. if it's inappropriately placed, please feel free to move it elsewhe...

Website hosts

So I am currently working on a game, and at some point I know I'm going to want a website for centralized promotion. I was wondering which website hosts the team at elysian shadows was using, and if they had to go through any hoops to get the domain name elysian shadows. anyone else is also free to ...

Re: Compiler talk

Real men write their own compilers. On a more serious note, I've only ever used gcc a few times. Most of my development is done in Visual Studio, so I use the built-in compiler. Funnily enough i found a couple of wikibooks about writing your own compiler, which I'll be going through sometime this s...

Compiler talk

Hey guys, So I've been using gcc and g++ for god knows how long now, but every now and then I hear terms like clang, and kinda wonder what all compilers are out there (for now only c/c++) and which would be best to use in some cases. If you guys have any info, I'd love to know. Also according to fal...

Re: Newb Question about rpg inventory management

so i could use the component model for that instead? well it takes away the need of polymorphism, but it seems like that would solve my big problem of type checking before downcasting
