Re: Bug when using time to update the ship

This will happen regardless of the version of windows, there is an event to handle the movement of the window that will be fired all the time whilst you're dragging it around, which prevents other portions of your code from executing. Some APIs like SDL will take care of that for you. If you're adam...

Re: Are P Jeez?

It depends on what you want to do exactly in your game, but I think it will be more than enough for your standard 2D RPG, I think you will know more than enough to make games like:

- Zelda
- Final Fantasy Tactics

Of course, that will still take a lot of time and effort :lol:

Re: Artificial Neural Networks for game AI

Hey there, welcome! I can see that working in some games, but not in all of them.. for instance, in an RTS game I imagine the amount data you would need for your training set and the time it would take to complete it being unfeasible in practice I'm guessing it would work well for games where you ha...

Re: lesson 2 advanced still error

Are you using MSVC2013?

When you get that error it usually means you're using a different version of the IDE, you can change it to your version, but there is no guarantee it will compile

Determined to hack templates

Trying to implement a template class in a .cpp file instead of the .h file, of course one does not simply define a template method in another translation unit, unless you happen to be using Intel's compiler, but I digress.. To do that I'm using a hack where you call some static methods inside anothe...

Re: 3D Car Game (trying it once more)

Since this is a generic camera I'd say you can simplify it for one specific purpose, that being said I don't think you will be able to drop the use of vectors and matrices on this one.. A view matrix is how the hardware expects you to encode it, and even if you tried something else you'd end up caus...

Re: Project: "Programming a Multiplayer FPS in DirectX"

Hey there, Really ambitious project, but I like it.. I reckon getting networking code to work isn't the biggest problem, but rather getting it to work well I might give you hand with shaders if you need help with that, I don't know anything about it in DirectX though ;) BTW are you familiar with the...

Re: Protecting my images

Everything can be reverse engineered, that being said if you use your own file format it's much more difficult, just keep in mind that since your game will need to load these assets, it doesn't matter what method you choose to use, if someone really wants to crack it, they will be able to, eventuall...

Re: What features in Visual Studio help you the most?

Thanks! I didn't know you could use the mouse to do that, I expect I will be using that a lot, I would usually just do the ctrl alt + arrows thing I mentioned, but it's a pain the ass when selecting several rows
