Elysian Shadows

Hello, im midway through my first win32 program and started wondering about something. In my application i have an edit control and a button control. I hate having to get the width/height perfect for these two controls, and also hate that when you expand the window they do not expand with it, is the...

Im sure this has been said already (if not, you guys are slipping!).

Final fantasy 7.

This game is amazing, i just cant stand the graphics (almost to bad to play).

I know screws will come in handy, but should I use slotted or Phillips heads? What about bolts? Are ratchet screwdrivers better than fixed-shaft? I'm worried about using power screwdrivers because they might not use them at the job I get. Oh no, I only learned about slotted heads! I'm screwed! (pun...

Once i learn Qt/Win32 i can just unleash my creativeness and make tons of helpful applications (since it looks like software development is going to be my new goal). So i have to disagree, theory is important, but you can only go so far with it. I don't think it would have been a good idea to conti...

Im still interested in what other people have to say, but i thought i'd reply to everyone so far. Oh, and there's still a question that hasnt been answered that im sort of stuck on. Since the majority of you think software development is a better idea, should i learn a multiplatform framework like Q...

I think the levels are based on the amount of posts you have / make. That's how its normally is setup (sorry, dont have the exact numbers, or all of the tittles :(). Your rank will go up if you take part in helping/chatting with the community- not that its important or anything :P. That is exactly ...

Wow the whole thing is based on him fixing computers and knowing how to operate linux lol? I have 10 other suspects on my msn list that should be looked into immediately!

If any of you have read my pasts posts, its no secret that im relatively new to the c++. Im going to be going to college soon to continue my learning, but as most people do, i've been doubting my future. I love video games be it making them, playing them, or even just reading about them. My problem ...

sorry for the noobiness, but how would you be able to get a higher ranking in these forums? for example, my rank is chaos rift noob, but there is a higher ranking of chaos rift junior. so how would it work? I think the levels are based on the amount of posts you have / make. That's how its normally...

If you're on a Windows platform, the Librarian (Archiver for you *Nix fuckers) WILL allow you to link against/embed other libraries. For example, on Windows, I literally include the OpenGL/SDL libs inside of libGyro.lib and only have to link against the single library. In the GCC environment, appar...

SFML is one of my plans if i cant either statically link these dll's (im a noob, so no idea how to do this. Google was of no help either.) or physically combine all the dll's. I know its possible to do both options here (physically and legally), someone has to know how D: lol.

So i recently decided to add text rendering to my SDL "game" and noticed my project file is filling up quickly with SDL .dlls. All i do with SDL is load PNGs and JPEG images and yet i have like 5 dlls, thats just crazy. By the time my game has text and sound i could have 7-8 dlls! Is there...

I decided to take up SDL and started reading tutorials from lazyfoo.net. Its going quite well so far, i just ran into a question after finishing up lesson 6 (Clip Blitting and Sprite Sheets). The tutorial did a good job of explaining how to "clip" and blit a simple sprite sheet, but what d...

I don't keep interest. when I get bored of programming complicated things, I go online and read about game development and other programming topics. The best way is to have a long term goal. Basically you're making text based games, so in the back of your mind you're thinking, "Why am I doing ...

Patience. I know that it's hard, but you need to stick with it. For example, I really did not get the point of pointers (pun intended) when I first started learning C++. So I kept re-reading the chapter in my C++ book on pointers. I made a few test programs to see what you can do with pointers, how...
