Elysian Shadows

Like I stated before, I'd like more stock support for popular file types like PDF, IMG, different audio and video codecs, shit like that. It's time to get with the times here, Windows... pretty much every other operating system now has this kind of support stock Just going to nit pick on this point...

And I'm sorry... but... What?! http://i.imgur.com/j0Nv1.png Are you serious man? Does the UI REALLY look like this? This is absolute shit! Windows 3 looked better than this shit, I honestly hope this isn't what they're going for with UI... I know it's a developer preview, but I would think they wou...

They do, however, have an overheating state. Does the fan sound loud? is there 10 years worth of dust on the heatsink/fan?

I'm pretty basic to OGL, so take this with a grain of salt. Maybe it'll help point you in the right direction. glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH); I'm pretty sure that's meant to be in the initialisation of OGL. // render all the quads on-to screen glBegin(GL_QUADS); // render all the tiles for(x=0; x<25; x++)...

Windows 8 looks really ugly and weird. I don't really like the ugly-looking squares and stuff, it just looks plain stupid, but that's my personal opinion. You're forgetting that this is not even a beta product yet. The product still has a long time to go before it'll be released, and the UI may end...

Just a few tips that will (probably) provide cleaner code and faster too. You can safely ignore what I'm doing here for now if you want, but it is something you'll want to learn one day. //Don't forget, you can always wrap this in a namespace as to not pollute this scope! enum tileType { Blank, Sele...

I've read through this four times and still can't understand what you're trying to say. Help us help you, show some code, show a screenshot of whats going on, even show the sprite sheet.

Or move onto SFML and use the classes that already has been provided? Which one would I benefit from the most? Depends. There are multiple scenarios. SDL and OpenGL are C libraries, so you are free to work them into your own OO paradigm. Personally, I like having this freedom, so that I can structu...

Just chucking out some alternative ideas that can show the same symptoms that you may not of thought of. Have you tried a release build and ran the executable directly? ie, no debugger or anything like that getting in the way? It sounds like this might be the reason for such a high cpu useage. Maybe...

I *think* that working on the stack is MUCH faster then accessing heap memory, as the entire stack is copied to cpu cache memory upon access. When you follow a pointer, it points to some other part of the memory that the processor must retrieve. One could make a (quite large) benchmark to find out i...

Windows 8 looks really ugly and weird. I don't really like the ugly-looking squares and stuff, it just looks plain stupid, but that's my personal opinion. This isn't even beta yet. It's very likely to change long before it ships, it's just a displayable and useable interface. That includes the desk...

There isn't any massive difference - whatever is easier for you to code. I only use file code like this inside classes which handle loading/saving and formatting the data. The program askes the class for xyz data and the class provides it - the rest of the program has no knowledage about wether fstr...

SFML integrates directly into QT, so maybe you should check that out.

I prefer to rapidly just built the UI with D&D for now. Until I get better at Qt, that is. Later I'd probably code out the UI, after giving it a quick design in a window to test everything out. Thats what I do in purebasic, anyway.

Well, if you've ever watched TOS, you'll know a lot of stuff doesn't fit the rest of the ST universe. A lot of stuff was scrapped for TNG and Enterprize, but more wasn't. Naturally, the stardates also come from TOS, which was randomly generated back then.
