Elysian Shadows

For example, I write programs as means to an end, even though I don't find it fun, and could thing of more fun things to do as careers. I wouldn't program if it wasn't fun for me. I do it because I enjoy it not because it's a means to an end. Why would you want to do something with your life that w...

My first console was the SNES. My parents got it for me for Christmas when I was 8 or 9. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was the first game that really got me excited to play, and started me down a path of playing adventure and RPG's. From there got the Sega, then N64. (Both gifts from parents a...

There's the link I was talking about.

Check on the gamedev forums. I'm pretty sure there is a post with tons of links on it. I have it bookmarked but I wont be around my computer until tomorrow night and don't want to search for it on my phone.

I think my first Pong game had 7 files for it: Ball.h, Ball.cpp, Paddle.h, Paddle.cpp, Draw.h, Draw.cpp, and main.cpp. I was always taught from...

I've been making some basic games for a while now (mostly working with primitives), and am slowly working my way up to building my own engine. I feel I am getting to the point now of creating much more reusable code instead of hard-coding everything I do. To do this I am basically starting all over ...

SDL has support for the OpenGL library, it does not include it with the SDL library. (You must include the OpenGL library to use it in SDL)

I've used both, and Allegro is much more newb friendly, especially if you plan to use primitive stuff such as circles, rectangles, and triangles. Allegro has much better support for those. I switched to SDL myself though.. (I really don't like the input system Allegro has.)

Thanks.. also realized I misspelled an include file name. :/

Hey I've got a question. I'm just starting to learn to use lua scripts now, but I am having a difficult time when I use them in a C++ project. I think I have compiled and linked everything correctly, but I keep getting this error: "14 C:\Dev-Cpp\main.cpp `luaL_newstate' undeclared (first use th...

Currently playing Fable II and Zelda: Link To The Past, cause its my favorite game ever.

Nice. It's the game I am working on right now.
