Hey, I'm new to the forums so I hope I don't come off as a dick by my first thread being a request for art. You didn't, but I'd say you did come off as a dick by your response to SomeAwesomeUsername. He was just offering some advice and potentially his help, but you threw that in his face. He was i...

That model was great, Nokurn! Wish you the best of luck with MIT and Stanford! As for myself, I just finished community college and I'm attending UC Irvine in the Fall (majoring in CSE). I'm quite excited for that. I haven't spent much time coding, I've been working, working out, and working some mo...

Well I would need more information to accurately analyze how you need to do it, but assuming it's top-downish and you "ignore the y", the x,y of screen coordinates may directly translate to x,z world coordinates?

Here's a helpful article on a reusable implementation: http://www.rivermanmedia.com/programmin ... -functions Hope that helps

Thanks for clearing that up, XianForce. I never really touched Game Maker but I know tons of people use it. So I thought he was telling me GML is the easy way out. Does the Game Maker community SUPPORT what I would call cloning or jacking the game? You would call it taking "an example platform...

Good thing you didn't say DarkBASIC. Is GML a really easy language to learn or is GML just really popular? I ask this because you've seen so many game maker platformers. It didn't seem as if he meant if you used Game Maker. I had to read it a second time to understand. He seems to be referring to p...

Oh crap, I'm an idiot... Hahaha! Thank you guys !

The problem with just a non-const accessor is this: void f(const B & b) { b.GetA(); } Without a const accessor, you can't do that, because you can't call a non-const method on a const object. So the version called depends on the const-ness of the object. You mean without a non-const accessor ;)...

When returning a pointer or reference to an object from a member method as such: class A; class B { A a; public: A& GetA() { return a; } }; //... B.GetA(); I've always just returned the reference and left nothing const. That was until I read an article about using the const keyword in respect to...

Try video tutorials?

Yeah, I was kind of sad that it ended. But I thought that these past 8-10 episodes have sort of wrapped up the series nicely. They made the ending sit well with me, I guess .

I know there are a few other avid House fans on this forum, so what did you all think of the finale? Personally, I liked it, but I would have rather the actually finale be 2 hours instead of releasing that 1 hour behind the scenes extra. It seemed like dwelling on a few of the motifs that surfaced i...

I'm not really experienced with OpenGL, but I did a few small things with it. As far as I know, you'll need a separate 2D and 3D drawing function. With your 3D drawing function, just set the matrix mode to perspective and for 2D set it to projection. (Are you sure it's projection though? I thought I...

Yeah, CS definitely has a lot of job openings. Computer Science/Mathematics is the 2nd fastest growing field currently. Second only to Petroleum Engineering apparently. Anyways, if you get a degree and are willing to move, you'll get a job somewhere.

OK. Sounds like it was being too strict and even regulating sites when it wasn't much their fault. I don't know if I'd consider piracy JUST endangering big business though. Not that I back up what the bill said, but I think piracy can hurt more than just major corporations; not everyone in the crea...
