Hi guys,

How can I apply a glow/blur effect on a texture in DX9?

I know I'm carrying things too far for a program like this but I like to experiment with new things... If I'm unable to rearrange the code then I'll go with that option.
Thanks!

Hmm I guess I might be overcomplicating things a bit...

At the time I posted the question I didn't really know how this whole DLL stuff works. As far as I see, it would be enough if I just simply rearrange common code into DLLs and use it both in the editor and the game engine. Am I correct?

Hey guys, After lots of coding I realised that I might be needing a game editor later. A this point I have two ideas how I could solve the problem: 1. When I'm finished with the engine part of the game code ( meaning only the game engine without any game content ) I would take the whole project, cop...

Ok, I finally found a way that works

include the following header: and set the locale according to your country like this:

Hi everyone! I'm having some trouble with foreign characters in my program. The problem is that I have no idea how to handle them. If I try to input them, the string will contain some weird characters instead (and the console window only shows garbage). I would like to be able to input Hungarian cha...

Hi, does somebody know good tutorial about shaders? I would like to set up a 2D engine which uses shaders but haven't found good tutorials yet. Any help would be appreciated

I personally don't really like "new" as I am keen on leaving memory leaks ( and lazy to find them :) ). I would go for vectors. It has a bunch of useful functions, too (push_back, pop_back, resize, size, ...). To declare a vector: #include <vector> std::vector< DATATYPE > NAME(SIZE); Note that SIZE ...

This looks pretty nice! If I were you, I would add some features like the ability to upgrade your tank (or just certain parts of it). Create a few levels of possible upgrading, making each upgrade harder to get. Create a few maps, each one being a greater challenge for the player... Just to make the...

good job!
