Re: Code samples for Job interviews

What Dandy said is along the lines of what I was thinking. Anything that displays some attention to design decisions and patterns. Some employers even like to see UML's, etc. but that is more of a per-case thing. Avoid getting too complex, but if you can demonstrate something that is eloquent and op...

Re: Visual Studio 11 Express will be Metro-only

I think you hit it on the head with your explanation. I wasn't really sure what I meant by quasi-app either... I think the explanation of the Metro environment was what I was trying to figure out the most.

Re: Visual Studio 11 Express will be Metro-only

Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows 8 provides tools for Metro style app development. To create desktop apps, you need to use Visual Studio 11 Professional, or higher. I am probably out of the loop, hence my asking this question. But is Windows moving towards this sort of "every program is a ...

Re: Elder Scrolls MMO

Apologies if that came off as an agressive defense. In other queries, has the been an announcement for anything game specific? I was hoping for a PvP Arena styled battle way prior to the announcement of any Elder Scrolls MMO. I think they could really introduce an exciting gameplay experience via th...

Re: ES Project Structure

The engine and libGyro specifics Falco can explain. But, for the Toolkit, the project is maintained through GIT. Whenever one of us is making major edits, we create our own branch which will eventually be merged to the master when complete. Outside of that, other resources are all maintained through...

Re: Elder Scrolls MMO

Make sure to realize that the MMO is not being produced directly by Bethesda. I want to say that I read the MMO was being produced by another group or subset (ZeniMax Online Studios). With that said, they are not stupid (nobody can afford to be stupid in this economy) and I would lean to say that th...

Re: Game engine structure question

In this case, I think you would want to steer away from inheritance and use pointers to your respective "sub-engines". You can still have functions defined in engine.cpp that can in turn be wrappers that call sub-engine functionality. That is just one simple approach, but I am willing to s...

Re: Purely virtual TCG

There's also Poke'mon TCG online... or at least according to the last several booster packs that I have purchased. ;) I believe I played a demo of Poke'mon TCG online, and it is decent; however, to fully experience the game you would have to shell out some cash which I was unwilling to do. I guess ...
