Elysian Shadows

And this time it was a Demon Statue on the list. I am not that pleased with this one... Couldn't find the right colors, or add the details I would like to have there. http://nechrology.com/nphoto/upload/2286DemonStatue.png Great stuff! keep it up and keep us posted if u do any others. love the sign...

Solved, I needed to do a deep copy of my array! Started to fool around with dynamic memory again and my testing class worked nice until I started passing it into methods or functions, this is where things got a little unpredictable. If I have any method that takes my dynamic 2d array class as an ar...

And, a 512x512 scaled up version:

this still creates quite a flat image, try scaling the shading just a little, so it's all around the mid-edges

Looks ok to me, but take that with a grain of salt... The best way to learn is to do. You'll learn a lot more if you make this engine from your own design and then realize some things could have been done better, than if you listened to experienced people and tried to stay on the rails of what they...

I'm by no means qualified to talk on the subject, but I've made simple things in DirectX and bits and bobs in pure C++ standard lib. AntiRTFM(yt channel) Great guy to learn from watching all of his videos ( or the new boston's like you talked about ) should give you a good starting point! A few thin...

lots of cool stuff Lots of stuff. I agree with all of that, well spoken. If I wasn't at work I could actually finish a post in a single sitting, alas you beat me to the punch. Thanks man, complement coming from someone who probably knows their shit a lot more than me! ^.^ You made a great analogy a...

I have a few questions:
A.Will height be fully represented in the game? (eg lighter areas are higher up etc.)?
B. Will the character scale against high/low terrain?
C. If so are you using the character as a polygon?

Some good examples there, thanks :)! I never thought of using ! before a variable's name to invert it like that, very appropriate! I'm having a crack at making my program look nice internally before I bind it with lua, if I can get the internals very clear it should be much easier ( I hope ) to impl...

The "concrete" example of const was the one I was familiar with already, however I usually use #define for things like that. Thanks for explaining it in detail, I can safely know which methods to apply that to and which to not now! unfortunately I do like to fuck with the return values dir...

Personally I think that anyone who is a game designer should have a firm hold on basic programming(theory if not practical stuff) -and- art(not art as a whole, just the specific kind of art that the game demands: 2d, 3d and the limitations therein). This doesn't apply to EVERY games designer: Games ...

Some interesting points, I'm never too sure when to make things const, simply because it's unclear (to me) in that example why you're using a constant value either side, as surely these values can't be altered by anything else since they are private anyway and our methods to check what they are mere...

Brilliant response and I agree completely, but I would definitely like to see some literature based on the subject :). I'll show you one of my class declarations: class character { private: int health; int xpos; int ypos; float exactx; float exacty; char block; entitycell ecp; public: entitycell inv...

Hi. So, I can program. Not great, but i can do the basics like functions, classes, pointers blah blah blah. But now I want to be able to program properly, I'm a C++ programmer and my design would make even the sloppy coders a little worried, I want to be able to code without worrying that I'm going ...

This is a great project! When I first saw it I was pretty skeptical, as implementing a whole sandbox world is not easy in the least, but I've had a look through your videos and you seem to be making some great progress!
