Re: liar or just ignorant, you decide.

And I was just making a light-hearted observation that these kind of topics usually degrade into page long flame wars. I wasn't saying you were missusing the General/Off-Topic sub forum.

World of Goo

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I thought it would be something to bring up for those who aren't in the know. World of goo is currently being sold for whatever price you want to pay for it . You should probably buy it for more than $2.00, as they don't gain money for less I believe... Unl...

You just love forum arguments don't you. Why didn't you just post a comment about religion on a popular youtube video. :lol:

Re: Realized How Much of a Nerd I am...

most of these behaviors are not nerdy, just annoying. I find most nerdy tendencies of people insanely irritating. I actually dropped a unit because the first day in class I heard nothing but rofls, lols and talk about the human brain being a bio-computer repeated over and over. I like to think I'm ...

Re: Producing Artwork - Massive Time Drain?

I believe Falco once said "The learning curve for a programmer is much bigger than that of a composer or an artist." I would argue against that viewpoint... Music and art can't be taught, programming can. I would argue against that viewpoint also :P. You should explore making your art in ...

Re: Hex Map / Hex Grid demo with source

It was my understanding that the quick draw methods from openGL such as triangle fans, quads, polygons, etc. were being depreciated and that... glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY); glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, verticies); glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES,0,numberOfVerticies); //or GLDrawElements glDisa...

Re: Whats the 411??

Welcome to the forums, Game Maker is rather shunned by most 'real' developers. There are lots of reasons behind this, if you are just looking at game making as a hobby in your spare time it's fine but don't expect any companies to take an interest in it, in fact it might actually be construde as a b...

Re: [Solved] Map and Memory Leak

Well I would use the code you provided, but it throws the assertion error that I mentioned.
I've been using the visual leak detector (and reccomend it to others) it confirms to me that I have no memory leaks.

Re: [Solved] Map and Memory Leak

Here's what I came up with from the advice you guys gave. for(i = m_models.begin(); i != m_models.end(); i++) { delete i->second; MessageBox(NULL, "Model destroyed" , "Debug", 0); } It seems that I was overdoing it with the m_models.erase(i). Thanks everyone for the help, my engi...

[Solved] Map and Memory Leak

Ok, so for this game engine I have been working on I use a series of managers to hold things such as models, textures, etc. Any way these manager classes are pretty much singletons with a map containing a name and a pointer to the location of each entity that the manager is dealing with. typedef std...

Re: why 2d just is better.

Sounds like that music would line up with the game alright if you ask me.

Does anyone else think that band looks like undead kiss?

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable

Comparing Jforce's game to ES is an apples to oranges comparison, but ES will be the superior game - no question. I like that you say that it's not possible to compare the two, then immediately do so :lol:. I'm very glad these guys have actually been working. I think it's funny how people got upset...
