Different programs call them differently. However, you can be assured there are generally 3 distinctions, and that is between CS, CIS, and CSE which is Computer Science, Computer Infosys, and Computer Science/Engineering. CIS is more or less top level software design, networking, and systems/databas...

Well then you need to be sure that they're behaving as they're expected to and you need to see what you get back. Either way, if then the collision has happened you may still need to go through the routine of obtaining a result velocity from the collision yourself.

For a very rudimentary collision case (sphere to plane) which is what you're doing I gather, the simplest case would be to calculate a resultant velocity from the collision. You can evaluate the collision based on a poll of a collision query at time0 (now), and time1 (interpolated for the next frame...

Heh, the difference between Computer Science and Computer Engineering....besides the 20x higher drop-out rate for engineers? :D I kid, well...I'm not kidding in that both programs DO tend to have very high drop-out rates. This is typically because people enter with little or no prior experience from...

Oh wow, did not see your post there, looks like a simul-post :P

Well, the advisers are there to do one thing. Collect 80,000 from someone (most of it will come from you). Now I realize this all sounds doom & gloom especially considering all the wonderful prizes they've promised await you at the end of your 3 years of commitment. Who am I to say, some of it m...

No, you mischaracterized what I said. I didn't say that you would not receive a solid education in game design (although this could be debated as well). I am saying that it's a very common gripe on part of the hiring developer that the graduates just don't have all the engineering education required...

If I may give you a little advice about school, coming from experience in the professional arena. The short of it is that your specialized technical schools with game programming programs (this includes full sail and digipen and what have you) are not particularly well rounded. The long of it is a f...

You could simply map out the things that the child objects have in common with eachother and store them as protected members of the base class.

Hello, I'm Shawn Simonson. I lurk. I've got a project me and a small team have been working on for a little while now.

std::list is a pretty literal interpretation of a textbook doubly linked list structure. An iterator is just a container that acts like a pointer which ensures identical operation across all standard complex types: vector, list, map..etc. So if we presume an iterator as a pointer which marches along...

That's a 16bit version of an x86 assembly function call which checks for stack allocations over 4k. (Such as entry points to functions). This basically amounts to the fact that SDL or another lib was built against a different target than what you're attempting to link it under. This is probably due ...
