Elysian Shadows

I've always had an interest in games from an early age but I didn't get to play them very often until my early teens because we didn't have a console or PC. I always had ideas for games but I thought that programming was in the realm of geniuses and never really bothered to look into it. When I was ...

Morale systems and what not can make for some very interesting experiences when they're done well but sometimes they just become a mechanic that people can play to produce the results they want. I think a system where there's just choices and consequences and no "morale meter" telling you ...

I can't remember all the games I've beaten, especially older ones, but here goes. PlayStation Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere Collin McRae Rally 2.0 Dukes of Hazard Racing for Home Grand Turismo Grand Turismo 2 Medal of Honor Medal of Honor Underground Syphon Filter Syphon Filter 2 Spyro 3: Year of the ...

I have a Mac and don't have a credit card so I don't have a lot of options.

Sounds pretty good to me, I only recently learnt about event/messenger systems about a month or so ago ( I've known of them for awhile ), and threw a simple system together of my own which turned out quite well but I haven't really had a use for yet. Your system sounds pretty similar to mine but mor...

Here is what http://www.sjbaker.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_History_of_The_Teapot and Game Coding Complete, second edition has to say about the teapot, and why it is a good testing model: "Aside from that, people have pointed out that it is a useful object to test with. It's instantly recogni...

Some game/rendering engines have a sort of mascot, a model they use for testing game-play features or rendering techniques like Ogre's ogre head thing. I'm thinking of making one for my engine and was wondering if anyone else has a similar thing in their engine/framework. I think it would be quite u...

Yeah the art style and graphics are really awesome.

I feel like I'm working on a million projects.

Project Space Tycoon
- Text-based game-play prototype
- The 3D planet renderer
- Design

New FirstGameEngine
- Rewriting it from scratch
- Now using SFML

Weekend OpenGL Projects

Learning
- Shaders
- SFML
- Everything

You should all try this cool 2d platformer http://www.frogatto.com/ it's free, open source and there's some interesting programming topics on their site.

EDIT: Sorry I meant to post this on the General Gaming board.

Yeah thats what I thought but I wasn't sure, thanks.

Hey, is it best to free dynamic memory in a class's destructor or in a member function? Example: SomeClass::~SomeClass( void ) { delete a; delete [] b; } // or void SomeClass::cleanUp( void ) { delete a; delete [] b; } Does it not matter ( obviously other than the fact the member function will have ...

You should make things changed based on time, so as a simple example something like: Where timediff is the time difference between the current frame and the last frame that way the player will move the same speed no matter what the frame-rate is.

Looks good, got a texture with that?

Yeah thats probably the next step after cleaning up the code a bit.
