Makin' some pixel art

Hi there! I have been doing too much programming lately, and since I'm on a one-man project, I have to learn to do some art work. http://nechrology.com/nphoto/upload/6074Punkin2.png http://www.nechrology.com/nphoto/upload/1097EvilSign.png http://nechrology.com/nphoto/upload/2286DemonStatue.png http:...

Re: Thought I'd give pixel art another go.

It's hard to tell, because he blends so well into the background. Could you please put on a different background color so it's easier to see? ^^

Re: When to learn openGL?

2) Actually with OpenGL you will feel a bit left alone since it doesn't do all the keyboard/mouse/sound stuff for you. Therefore it is really helpful to know how to create a window in bare c++ with the API of your operating system, how to set it up so GL can render to it, and how to get input, etc....

Re: The adventures of creating a game

Speaking of OpenGL and graphics... I haven't yet looked at OpenGL with 3d, as it sort of scares me. I'm still learning SDL, and some basic graphic stuff. In the past I have done some 3d work with Blender. Does anyone on here know, is there a way to import Blender models into an C++/OpenGL program? ...

Re: Make something move in a specific degree

Do you really need angles for this? Just check the X/Y values of the joystick. For example: *code* I have no idea exactly what libraries/framework you're using or even what input device you're trying to use. But I find it hard to believe you can only get the angle of the analog stick.... I am sing ...

Make something move in a specific degree

I would like to be able to move my player, or whatever it may be, in a specific degree. As for now, I have to make a single function for each degree (usually only up, down, left, right). But I want a function like "void moveDeg(int degree, int distance)". How would I make this function? An...

Re: Game engine, C++,SDL (I'm new.)

Where is "placement" coming from? A struct? Anyway, this is perfectly legal to do, if this is what you are aiming for: class Rock { public: Rock(); ~Rock(); int x, y; }; Rock::Rock() { x = 0; y = 0; } Rock::~Rock() {} int main() { const int numOfRocks = 5; Rock rock[numOfRocks]; rock[0].x ...

Re: Game engine, C++,SDL (I'm new.)

I'm not totally sure, but I think this "Monster" class needs to have a default constructor (with no parameters).
Because you can't do something like this, as far as I am aware of: Monster monsters[10]("NameOfMonster", positionX, positionY);

Re: Game engine, C++,SDL (I'm new.)

Can't you just make a normal array with the objects? const int numOfMonsters = 10; Monster monsters[numOfMonsters]; monsters[0].setPosition(32, 32); monsters[1].setPosition(64, 8); ... for(int i = 0; i < numOfMonsters; i++) { // If there is a collision between the player and monsters[i] { // Do some...

Re: Virtual Function Problemo

I'm going to need to see definitions of both the base class and the implementation class. Also, you should get rid of the pragma here: #pragma once #ifndef __NCGAME_H__ #define __NCGAME_H__ This is redundant. And that pragma isn't guaranteed to work on every compiler. Isn't #endif required? ....yes...
