Hi gordon, Looks good, but you haven't capped the framerate. It's way too fast :) Using SDL_GetTicks() gives you the amount of time that has passed since initialization in milliseconds (providing the SDL_INIT_TIMER flag was sent to SDL_Init(), or just SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING). You can leverage that to m...

I've tried to follow lazyfoo's tutorials, but I come up with one of two errors depending on how I change the include heading. When the include is, #include "SDL.h" I get the following error: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SDL.h': No such file or directory I get this error e...

I loved Iron Man as a kid, so I've been looking forward to it
I think the game'll be fun, too.

I never really liked GTA...
I'm more excited about Iron Man :D

I'm quite interested in game engine design, and find myself constantly re-writing segments of my engine whenever I hear of or realize a better way of doing things. I'd like to discuss some different parts of the typical engine, and maybe try and get an idea as to what most people do when they are fa...

You can pass stuff around like a hot potato but it gets really complicated. Did you perhaps hear what to replace it with? I'm interested in any programming theory around. =) Effectively just a sugar-coated version of slinging a pointer around. The article and sub-article I read detailed everything ...

I "win" with "whatever", haha xD. I have worried a few people with my occasional 'binge' style of coding before... Y'know, where bodily needs are mostly ignored, such as sleep, food, water, or bathroom... so after you finish coding and sit for 5 minutes, you're now shaking from ...

FILE *file = fopen("file.txt", "r");

Just a thought, are you guys using text files for maps?

Or when you say levels, do you mean something else, like names of items and stuff?

What exactly is TopCoder?

Also, is there a trial that doesn't go on a record or anything?

Multiple inheritance? Like.. inheriting from an object that inherits from an object? I didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Like for example, in my last engine's dynamic component architecture, I had a base component class, a component interface, and a component implementation ( which re...

By the way, which people here are in the videos?
I know Falco is GyroVorbis and Marcel is Arce, but I don't know any others.

Holy shit, Ross. o_O Ideal conditions for me are just: * Late at night * Have something to drink - Mountain Dew, Bawls, or Tea. And maybe * YouTube, GameTrailers, or TV/Movie on in background. I like background noise. Hey, he said Ideal. I don't usually code with all that stuff, but it's my like......

Right now, I use Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, but I jump back and forth.

I have been working with Linux as my primary operating system for a few years now. The development tools and sheer amount of available source code is a great asset to any developer. I want to try and test my skills in porting games to Linux, rather than just my usual writing code for Linux from the ...

Physical: Middle of the night, when everyone is asleep. Perfect silence apart from the humming of my computers. A glass of water with ice. Hair down and brushed. Window wide open, for fresh air and cold (Scotland air is the best for clearing your mind). My nice, large, Logitech G15 r2 keyboard. It's...
