Elysian Shadows

One pattern I've noticed when I try to solve problems is that I usually never solve them the first time. When that is the case, it's usually because I've been able to relate the problem to something I've seen before. So I agree with dandy's post. I'd also say that you really want to screw around wit...

I didn't thoroughly read the whole SQL part, but I just wanted to point out that using inheritance for different item types might not be a good idea, in the same way that inheritance is not a good model for different game entities. Also how big can a game inventory possibly be that search performan...

Now that I think about it, I feel like this sort of idea is what I had in mind for the query portion of the inventory system, though I may have very simplistic syntax depending on how difficult it'd be to do it. I might as well go ahead and screw around with SQLLite and try this out, since it's afte...

following the output provided by bbguimaraes, it does make sense when you remember the property of 2's complement (more importantly how it maps a signed number to unsigned).

I am aware of the option of using databases, and in fact am considering using SQL Lite in the future. But I want to see if it's possible to devise a data structure or system first before I resort to databases.

Hey guys, i got a question about inventory management. Before that, some setup: currently there are 2 parts: the backpack, and the item classes. the item classes have inheritance setup, so for example Item is an abstract base class, and armor, weapon, and books are concrete subclasses. the backpack ...

what were the criteria for beta backers again? I'm a backer but I don't remember what level.

Nonetheless I wish everyone luck on their respective projects and resolutions and I hope you've all had a Merry Christmas, a happy Hanuka, Kwanzaa, etc. and I wish you a joyous New Year :) ! Thanks for that! Happy holidays to you all as well. :cheers: Will do! Chances are I will make a proper blog ...

funny thing is, my ass woulda been saved by converting c++ to c# scripting... hehehe... *goes back to code harder*

[...]im aiming to make one good game for the wii u (I got on board for the wii u indie developer thing, so that's awesome!). Wow, that's amazing! Good luck with that. Please update us with this project. I would really love to see the progress :D Will do! Chances are I will make a proper blog for up...

huh, that is really interesting, But i could see the reasoning from a nomenclature sense. an unsigned int is by nature restricted to only positive numbers. in this case, it would probably be better to convert it to a long integer, so as to deal with signed integers. but that still brings up a proble...

I would definitely have fallen in the paranoid secret category when it comes to development, but only for games that I plan to sell.I guess the key is to ignore any notion of money if you want to build an audience early. too much is if, for example, you give away your entire game, like if ES were to...

How is this behaviour normally resolved using C++? Would negative numbers when compared to uints default to some logic?

@Light-Dark That profile image is freaking awesome!

Best of luck to your projects, I can't wait to see( or even better, play) them! ...But yea, I hate OBJ-C, it's way too ugly a syntax to work with.

This year started off pretty unproductive, but I did make a nifty RPG about negotiation, so I felt happy about that. It took ALOT of trial and error, but I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of vectors in unity, and created a basic platformer rig that im pretty proud of. starting in 2015, im...
