This is why I am a C fan. This is why I will always suggest learning C before C++. Rather than running around in circles, blindly adhering to some object-oriented philosophy, C promotes actually writing the goddamn code . You spend less time worrying about bullshit and more time achieving the task ...

If you're having problems with memory management you could always start using std::shared_ptr / std::unique_ptr.

and what are you basing this on exactly?

Thats because you're rendering in completely different spaces. You've just admitted to having done no research which is precisely what I told you to do in the prior thread when you were having problems. You need to read THOROUGHLY about the transformation pipeline..... Direct3D does not hold your h...

I'm trying to make a particle system in direct3d9 using point sprites. When I use D3DFVF_XYZ|D3DFVF_DIFFUSE|D3DFVF_POINTS|D3DFVF_DYNAMIC as the vertex format it works, but when I switch D3DFVF_XYZ for D3DFVF_XYZRHW nothing shows up. I haven't read anything in Microsoft's documentation that forbids u...

from what I've seen if your program crashes, it'll almost always take VS down with it. aside from that I like syntax coloring and the intellisense improvements. now if they could get member listing based on context rather than just listing all of them I'd be happy

Why do you hate DirectX? Is there any particular reason behind that statement? If there is, I'd be delighted to know.

Interesting... I LOVE the Solution/Project approach in VS2010. As a matter of fact, I just spent HOURS last night trying to emulate something like a solution with multiple projects dependent on one another last night in XCode4... The only time I ever found it useful was when I was building the lua ...

I started out using devc++ and moved on to codeblocks after I couldn't get SDL to work. After using codeblocks for a while I decided to try VS express 2010. My biggest problem at the time with it was the fact that it ran slow as shit and I couldn't run nearly anything else at the same time because i...

How do I go about doing that but changing step 2 from GetProcAddress() to using a pointer I already have? -Reading up on function pointers, I think this is the information I've needed. -edit Okay a few minutes of reading and this is what I've got compiled with no errors. void DLL_EXPORT SomeFunctio...

Does anyone know of a better explanation of how lambda expressions work than the one on Wikipedia? They are just functions without a name. You often use them to pass to functions that take other functions. (higer order functions). I don't really know if this explanation is better though.. ;) I unde...

Ahh, so I read this, but it appears that you can convert .love files into .exe's because the game I downloaded made in love2D was a .exe file You can't convert renamed zip folders into .exe files. You would have to include it in the .exe by using a resource script. Whether the game data is stored i...

Here's something quite similar to what you're asking. Love 2D I just discovered it a few days ago. It's really quite interesting but as Falco has already stated having that much functionality and having lua handle all of it is really not a good idea because it will most definitely slow down your en...
