Re: C vs C++ style of interface for hardware abstraction lay

These are going to introduce a good amount of overhead by nature of temporary variable creation . Why does this happen and is this done by compilers? What is causing the variables to be created? class Vector2 { private: int _x, _y; public: inline Vector2(const int x, const int y): _x(x), _y(y) {} i...

Re: C vs C++ style of interface for hardware abstraction lay

If I were you, I would not worry about performance, just get it working, and then later you can optimize if you need to. You should not premature optimize, optimize when you have working code that you think could be faster. Do note that this doesn't mean write dumb code. Read this: http://prog21.dad...

Re: Perspective

OK I honestly just tried to get your code working (which I did), it does work with 0 degrees field of view, it just doesn't shrink the triangle for some reason, use 60 degrees and just move the triangle in and out. The only other problem(s) you should be having are the following, you've set your fie...

Re: Perspective

OK, well I searched for your code and I found it (hopefully it's the right one). I'm not *that* experienced with OpenGL but I do know a fair amount of it. First things first we'll start off how your initializing your scene. void initialize_it(void) //sets up graphic stuff. { glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0...

Re: Perspective

... gluPerspective(45.0f,2.0f,-0.1f,-100.0f); your problems should disappear, and you should be able to have angles other than 0. last 2 parameters MUST be positive ;) http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/gluPerspective.xml Oh and Ben, post your code (hope you don't mind me calling you Ben S:)

Re: Perspective

Umm use Depth Testing? glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); and you have to clear that buffer too so: glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // you can use it in one function like so: glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); If it's still the same, see if you're transformations and such are ok? S:? Just reali...

How many interfaces is too many interfaces?

I've always wondered, how many interfaces is *too many* interfaces... Is it good to have a lot of interfaces or just a few, or just to have as minimum as possible? Let's say... If I had lets say a Transformable Interface that can transform something (e.g. rotate, position, scale), should it be an in...

This is killing my brain...

Okay basically I've gone into this stage where I have no idea what to do anymore. OK here's my situation and tell me your opinion on what you would do. Okay, so far I've been designing classes with SDL for images, font's, sounds, a window and such. Now so far, I haven't been working with OpenGL at a...

Re: Virtual Function Problemo

If your issue is with a base type destructor, you're probably trying to delete a BaseImage* that actually stores a SWRImage2D. Now I couldn't find that situation in any of the posted code, but if that's the issue, just declare ~BaseImage() as virtual ie: virtual ~BaseImage() {} This causes the comp...

Re: Virtual Function Problemo

OMG I AM A FREAKEN IDIOT!!!!!!! The reason it is not working is because I defined a DESTRUCTOR in the BaseImage class, now for some reason, which I do not know was making that use the BaseImage's virtual functions. If anyone knows why this is, could you please explain?
