Elysian Shadows

Lets say hypothetically, I really don't want to create decent 2D graphics on programs such as GIMP or Paint/.NET. Is it common or even advised that I make simple 3D models, render them, PrintScreen button them, and save it as a .bmp/.png file?

Will do. Thanks again.

That idea also works too. I have actually executed that in some parts, but never thought to do it again in for score keeping, etc...Thanks.

The reason why I have vector<Ship*> instead of vector<EShip1*> , vector<Player*> , and vector <PShip1*> was to conveniently organize all heap-created objects and iterate through them later with no problem. Over the day, I thought of an alternative design that may solve my problem. I should have pres...

Right, that's what I was wondering, also. I'm getting the player's score throughout the entire game. I guess I just wanted to be able to add functionality to one derived class without making the base class and its other derived classes include those data.

Say for example I have class Ship class Player : public Ship class EShip : public Ship and I have vector <Ship*> vShip; This is probably a very simple answer, but I want to be able to add both of the derived classes to the vector and access data only unique to one of the derived classes. If I includ...

FINALLY you show off something!

That would be interesting to see and RPG and even Pong in a console window. There's nothing wrong with having a dream. I just suggest not biting off more than you can chew. I fell into the trap of diving straight into coding an RPG after Pong. The code became messy after a while. Developing a rpg an...

Thanks for the feedback!

4Ns-IDjWjy0 The quality of this video is pretty-to-very crappy. I am using CamStudio. If anyone has any better suggestions as to which program I should be using instead, please enlighten me. :worship: I don't get to program much at all due to studies and such, but over the weekend, I had an urge to...

I can't consider this lame. I'll be using your assignments to actually learn some OpenGL.


Is it me, or is the icon's color supposed to be kinda..."scratchy" ?

I thought NULL == 0...?

My game engine has been updated, if anyone has comments or constructive criticism, I'll be more than appreciative to receive them!

New video is in the Game Engine Diary, named Game Engine Video 1

Are there any system reqs? It immediately crashes as soon as I open the executable.

Thanks for subscribing! Definitely, when midterms have subsided at the university, I'll continue on with the series!
