So, here is my story: I came to California when I was 7 in January 13, 2001. Now, I was born in South Korea, so I am a Korean citizen as of now. I am only a permanent resident of these United States of America. I am turning 17 next month, in Korea that would mean I would turn 18 due to their weird ...

I have mixed opinions about what he did. In some ways, I think he should be congratulated. There's too strong a tendency to lock information away or keep it in the hands of a few, trusting them with information that could have influence over the fate of many, when there a plethora of solutions avai...

North Korea is just jealous. And angry of being the only country in the world that's less advanced than its southern neighbour. :) Yeah that's definitely true. Although North Korea boasts a superior military power. (lol I checked on Wikipedia =P says they're the 4th most powerful military power) So...

I share your fears; I just hope that there is nothing Julian Assange is in possession off that could make matters worse! It did not help with the fact that one of the leaks indicated that China would rather see NK being governed by the South as this has without doubt just made NK more paranoid and d...

I don't know if anyone has played it, but rollercoaster tycoon 2 has an awesome art style. It's isometric but it looks like a 3d model that was like hand drawn....I want to know how they did it.. I believe some of the guy's that did this can be found over at http://www.pixeljoint.com/ , It's a grea...

So are you talking about testing the mouse position against those clickable areas? Or drawing the shapes to the screen? For drawing it depends on your API, for example, some will have built in methods for drawing those shapes. I knew I'd worded that badly lol.. Yes testing mouse position within the...

hi; I want to have an image on the screen and have relative regions within the image that are clickable hot-spots, with the following region types: circle coords = "x,y,r" rect coords = "x1,y1, x2,y2" polygon coords = "x1,y1, ... " how would I work out the polygon regi...

What is the reason for losing your motivation? Have you simply become overwhelmed with the amount of work that is ahead of you? because this happens a lot to just about everybody, if so you need to stop thinking ahead and just do the task at hand, better achieved by breaking your projects up into ma...

Hi; you do realize that using VSync will make your program run at different speeds on different monitors! If somebody is using say a monitor that can only handle 800x600 @ 60Hz the program will seem slower than yours if yours runs at 85Hz on 800x600.. You should just setup timing for display renderi...

Been a Linux user a very long time.. I use an iMac the big one i7 running parallels with Ubuntu and windows 7, so I guess I use em all at the same time.

C was not designed to "replace" assembly, and it could not possibly ever do that. As I said before, there are processor-specific opcodes and registers can provide extremely useful functionality that are literally inaccessible due to the platform-independent nature of higher level language...

i'm kind of ok at game programming but recently i've just not been doing it because i've lost my motivation. I have to many problems with my current project that i put it on hold. Is there anything thats kind of easy to make but will help me learn? hi; what I do when I lose my motivation is go writ...

:dreamcast: so what im getting from here is that assembly by now is mainly good for allowing your engine to access registers of hardware devices. basically in theory if you can do this successsfully, you could completely control your console? please tell me if i am accurate or not, as i am still tr...

Today it's not really a good idea to use assembly for a few reasons, portability for one but there are other reasons.. C/C++ compilers today are very well designed and a lot better then those of say just 10 years ago when using inline asm was still used quite a bit, but today the optimization of the...
