Elysian Shadows

its only now with more powerful computers that its really feasible. ... depends how far back you are looking. I mean you can make something like a heightmap with a very simple noise effect with only an O(n) cost, that's not exactly something you could only do recently and it certainly is procedural...

i played around with his model editor.. lets just say... its definitely made by one man for one man. im sure it powerful, but not easy just to pick up and use. I also played around with his model loader a while back, and agree. I love all the realtime updates between editors/users though, I would l...

What you have now seems pretty good. Linked list has the advantages of being able to remove or add an entry without having to update the entire data-sets order. The dissadvantage comes in the searching through the data, as you can only scan through a linked list 1 way (2 ways if doubly linked). I th...

Well to remove the flickering I had to include windows.h and here is the code related; LockWindowUpdate(GetConsoleWindow()); //disables drawing in the command console (freezing it so that you don't see the clearing of the screen) system("cls");//Clear the console //Do all your drawing/rend...

Found a way to clear the consol without the flicker. So updating the download again.

if I have a bug like that won't it cause a memory leak or something?

No, memory leaks only occur when you dynamically allocate memory. You wont encounter them for a fair while until you are past understanding the basics.

It uses the console, which is why the refresh rate looks so bad. No graphics just text, I looked up the ASCII extended character sets to get the characters that looked like squares walls etc. It's fun seeing how far you can push restrictions :P I reccommend having a go at this kind of thing to every...

Here's a very, simple representation of perhaps the most basic game setup you could have; http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1889/simpley.png You begin the program, and everything is initialised . Things like images that need to be loaded, models, level files. Anything that is too taxing to do in re...

You say that you only played the game for 5 minutes, and somehow think that puts you in a place to rate it??? It seems like all you have done is given a big list of songs along with some opinionated writing commenting on the songs very briefly and obscurely. Obviously the music is one of the things ...

Thanks, glad you guys liked it. Just updated it to the latest build. Probably wont continue it from here. This version now has winning conditions not just losing conditions, sound and some more spify looking 'graphics' :lol:. I also adjusted the collisions for the ball to make it more fun, and you c...

There's an anti anti programming language sentiment going around on these forums. I very much defend programming languages. Java, C#, Perl, Python... Righton, it's my feeling if a language is legitimately bad, it will die. I'm currently doing an assignment on PL/1, it's an example of a language 'a ...

I just made a console breakout game. I tend to make command console games every now and then when I'm bored or feel like practicing programming. Does anyone else do similar? Or has anyone got anything they would like to show off? I'm sure plenty of you waste your time when you have more important th...

The 'blandness' you are talking about is largely due to poor colour choice. Try varying the hue more and you will get a more stricking effect (use contrast and cool/warm colours to get an emotive effect e.g. more blue/purple towards shadow, more yellow/orange towards highlights). http://pixeljoint.c...

A good tutorial regime for someone looking to be a games programmer might be something like: Absolute beginner Basic data types; int, bool, float, double, char Arrays and Strings. Input and Output. Selection. Iteration. Methods/Functions. Don't just do these things one way either try and see how man...

Just out of curiosity, what exactly has Obama done exactly to warrant statements like; I don't like Obama just as much as the next guy and As much as I hate defending Obama... I'm not being rhetorical either, I am legitimately asking. Over hear in Australia I have heard nothing but praise for him, m...
