Elysian Shadows

I can remember doing something like that back in grade school, trying to teach the teacher. Now that I'm in college, I'm more introverted and humble, because I know no matter how better I get, there will always be other's 10000x better than me, and I'll admit I'll never know 100% what I'm talking ab...

I was never into Gundam Wing, but mechs are always awesome "In a bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics and the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Gundam, the construction of a giant, “life-size” Gundam is being constructed in Odaiba, Tokyo." http://www.gundam30th.net/event/real-g.html p...

ah FF7, it's a great game, I found it too easy and Cloud was a whiny wuss. but all in all, still a solid game. I always loved, FF 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The others were ok, but were not great for me. Never played 11... Cant wait for 13. FF7 is important in video game history, because it was the game tha...

When you debug your program IMAGE_BACKGROUND will display as "\\content\\images\\background.bmp", but when the program compiles it actually includes the entire path. Something like this: "C:\Game\content\images\background.bmp", but you will never see that while debugging. I think...

I found this on a Star Trek vrs Star Wars site ;) Acceleration and G-force Calculator "This calculator will let you work out the acceleration and G force for an object over a set distance and time." http://www.angelfire.com/empire/blueyard/calcs.html#accel Distance: 0.4 km Time: 4.567 s .....

Just defining a path and then calling it should work. I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the main args. #define IMAGE_BACKGROUND "\\content\\images\\background.bmp" .... LoadImage ( IMAGE_BACKGROUND ); Always worked for me. IMAGE_BACKGROUND path will always use the executable's cur...

DId you forgot that SDL's coordinate system is awkard...?

whoops... Thanks for pointing that out.

Anim8or is cool. I found it back in 2000... It was my first 3D modeling and animation experience, it's easy enough for any noob to learn 3d. I still recommend it. I still use it sometimes. I'm going to try to find some renders I took a while back. [EDIT] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UX4kr2W3K8 Fi...

I've only touched on SDL and never tried SFML, but glancing over they seem to be pretty equal. Can't say what is 'better' but if you google both, you'll notice SDL is more popular, so SDL might be easier to use on the fact that there is much more users, which means more tutorials and help.

Ah I see, I think you nee better sounds and Is there a limit on how many bullets can be on screen? I didnt code the bullets, but I think they are in a vector/stack, so the limit of bullets is, how many your comp can handle... I don't like neglecting sounds, but I admit I quickly grabbed some random...

Thanks for the crits everyone. I'll have to try Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, I missed that one. IDK, just seems kinda not the way to start any programming. You got to plan everything out before you do it, thats how many programmers give up half way... You got to get a story, or there will be...

For the past 5 weeks while having other classes, I and two others developed this game. Before that we spent about a month planning. Been using the Scrum approach throughout project. Used http://www.assembla.com svn for source control. Briefly, It's a futuristic 3D side scroller. One ability you have...
