In Germany it's quite usual to talk about this in interviews, although it's rather the interviewer that asks you how much salary you expect from the job.

Use the dump functions I provided. You will notice such errors much quicker.

Re: The Secret that is OpenGL - Getting Started/Resources

You compile and link a shader only once. This is some code I wrote for loading some time ago. Hope it helps: void DumpShaderInfo(GLuint shader){ GLint length; GLsizei slength; glGetShaderiv(shader, GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH , &length); if(length >= 1){ std::string txt; txt.resize(length); glGetShaderIn...

Re: Sprite animation/timing methods

I wouldn't set it to 0 but subtract the keyframe time. This way you're introducing less error.

Re: Sprite animation/timing methods

I'd prefer the first method. Libraries like SFML have classes for this but I'd probably just use a float variable and increment it by the frametime in every update cycle.

Re: Summer Project - "Terminal Fantasy"

Nice! Try to make it really polished and record a video. If you apply for a job in the game industry or related you can show it to interviewers. They don't have much time and don't want to install it so a video is the perfect media.

Re: Python as a game scripting language

Since Python is already a scripting language I can't think of any reason to use Lua on top of it.

I highly doubt he'll be compiling anything large enough for his HDD speed to be the limiting factor. I assume Blue Dream is doing something in game development, otherwise he probably wouldn't be writing in these forums, and certain types of computer games tend to have a large code base. Some of my ...

Re: New Box

I'm not really aware of the current situation on the hardware market but I can give you some general advices: 1.) Your CPU has a built in GPU. If you don't need it, you should take one without it and save money. Or is it already common to have CPU/GPU hybrids? 2.) You should not save money on the ha...

Re: Where did it all begin for you?

Well and here I am now. I am currently learning C and understand some basic x86 Assembly. I turned 12 in May. That's awesome for someone at your age. You should stick to it ;) My advice would be to start thinking of a little project and try to finish it. Then you will always have something polished...
