Bit Blitting

I am up to intermediate lesson 4 and Chili gives an excellent explaination of directx and how the GPU and VRAM works with RAMDAC to flipflop the page buffer and he mentions 'Bit Blitting'! Awesome! :lol: A part of my project is to demonstrate sprite blitting, I think I'm getting a better understandi...

Re: VS Express 2013 vs. Code::Blocks

Stick to VS if that's what you have been using so far. No point in learning a new IDE as well as learning the C++ language.

I use VS because I get a free version with my course, but I do love Intellisense!

Re: Dreaming about code

Yeah man I think I was just having one of those days. I feel more hopeful today. I have enjoyed doing Chili's excercises during his tutorials but not tried making my own game with his framework. Because I am making my own framework for my course, it's slow going. I have my Window and D3D initialised...

Re: Dreaming about code

Learn to write programs or die trying. That's what the chili says and that's going to be my mantra from now on. I will win this battle! Hahahaha

Dreaming about code

I want to write code so bad it's making me sick. I have been dreaming of writing code in my sleep. However, when I look at my VS application my mind goes blank. :shock: What variables do I need? What functions must I create to play with these little variables. What classes do I need to encapsulate a...

Re: Favorite games

@balldrix 1.3. I've always been a huge fan of DOOM and Quake back in the day, so yeah.. you can imagine how much I like COD and BF. I loved DOOM and Quake back in the day, and I love CS 1.6 & CS- source. I played CS when it was just a crappy mod. My comment about COD and BF is probably due to the f...
