Re: New Project. Small and simple but versatile engine.

I am interested in knowing what kind of interfaces from the core engine are exposed to your DLL versus what is exposed to AngelScript. Well potentially anything can be exposed. However there are things id recommend doing from within a DLL and things to do from the script. For example, even though y...

Re: New Project. Small and simple but versatile engine.

2D and 3D, although I dont care to much for 3D.

I mean IO as in peripherals, but yeah, asset loading would be awesome too.

New Project. Small and simple but versatile engine.

Thinking about starting a little project. I have been working on all the components of this individually and think its time to put it together. Basic premise goes something like this. You have a core engine that does no game logic, just give you services like graphics, audio, and so on. Then you hav...

Re: Smooth Movement?

You need to narrow down your engine to the point where you can eliminate things causing it. Start by removing textures, remove all characters, remove lighting, remove AI, slow down the game loop, use more debugging, etc. Keep going until you find the thing causing it, then drill down into that Truf...

Re: Modern BIOS Interfaces

Just as a side note, this is not THAT modern, Apple has been doing the EFI for quite some time I wanna say for the past 4-5 years. They dont have the flashy UI tho.

The reason you cant open it without root is because you NEED some sort of privileges set.

Jersey Shore Drinking Game

Well as I am sure most of you, as me, watch Jersey shore to feel like you are the most stable person in the world... I figured I would turn it into a drinking game. When each rule gets satisfied, take a sip of your drink. 1. Every time Snookie makes the sound "Eehhhh!" 2. Every time someon...

Re: Tile: Entity or its own thing?

if your tiles are static, then yea, no need to have them be entities.

if they are dynamic, there may be some advantages to that. Also, you can do some pretty cool things if your tiles are entities, baring that your entity/component system is robust.

Re: What IDE should I use for cross platform development?

I would recommend using clang complete with vim, (ass good if not better than any IDE autocomplete), and using CMake as your build system. This would mean that you would have to use clang with LLVM, not sure if there is a MS port. You can also use CMake with eclipse. if you have to have that GUI fee...

Re: Basic Programming Question

Templates must always be implemented in a header. The one and only exception to this rule is when you're completely specializing a template--then it can be declared in a header and defined in a source file. Another thing to take into account when deciding whether or not a function should be inlined...

Re: Strange 'open file dialog' problem (C++, VS)

kinda just glanced over, but make sure you show the backtrace of ALL threads. Im sure the win API spawns threads out the wazoo, so the bt you pasted might not be the culprit. If I had to take a wild stab in the dark, it would be that you are giving it an uninitialized/unmalloced/too small/whatever v...
