Elysian Shadows

One technique I've found that can help, is detecting if another zombie is in front of each zombie - and those zombies then move at a slower rate, or backwards, or if the zombie in front is moving slowly, sidestep. When I did this, the zombies would behave more intelligently, moving out of the way o...

I'm currently making AI for zombies in an overhead shooter. The zombie's task is to come into close combat with the player, and this works, so my question is if there is any possible way to improve this walking path, because I'm afraid if I add multiple zombies into a map they will walk in unison di...

Hi! You guys may or may not know me from the forums, as I do not post very often. I recently picked up a book for C++ and started making 2D Games using Allegro. After consistently making small games using primitive shapes, I considered myself ready to start a full game. Currently, there are only bas...

I see a lot of people do simple level design with an array (or vector or whatever it is in c) with level data like this map1[0][0][0][0][0] map2[0][0][1][0][0] map3[0][0][1][0][0] map4[0][0][1][0][0] So make a txt file somewhat similar structure, and load it into the array when during your initLeve...

I'm currently making a 2D game using Allegro (not tile based), and I've created this collision function: void player::setPreviousLocation() { if(facingUp) y = y + speed; if(facingDown) y = y - speed; if(facingLeft) x = x + speed; if(facingRight) x = x - speed; } void player::applyCollision(int a, in...

Your motherboard seems to have a socket AM2+ which would not work with the AM3 processor you linked. Find another AM2+. For any gaming build I'd recommend 500W minimum for the power supply. The Earthwatts is probably still the standard in that range (been a long time since I've had anything less th...

I currently have a Gateway GT5662 Desktop computer, and I have decided to upgrade it into a gaming computer. I am buying a new video card and power supply this weekend, and I am also buying myself a new processor as a christmas gift during December :P. The video card I am looking at is the Radeon 68...

Thank you so much for your help!
Also, I've noticed something that I've run into a lot online, where people place in arguments with their functions with things such as:
Could that have anything to do with my issue in any way?

Hello, I've been working on learning C++ and have been making my own small projects recently. I'm currently trying to make a small text based RPG using C++. In the process, I've been trying to use multiple files and classes for experience. So far, I've been doing things such as making a player file ...
