Elysian Shadows

If anyone's interested in playing together we should have a Chaos Rift chat channel.

I'm pretty sure it's OpenGL, in which case SDL timing would still be used if that's what he's using with his OpenGL.

And I did the math too!! its not 4 years xD

Which reminds me, what did you end up doing in terms of your graphics?

Sorry that I didn't show how I fixed it. I'll post a description and then my code in spoiler tags so that you can see the code First I found the outer tile positions that the object will be touching when only moved by it's x velocity. Then, depending on which direction the object is moving, check th...

Apparently the overmind cannot find the file. I thought he was dead.

You could encode the data in the file, I've never really had experiance with this but I'm sure something will come up if you google it. To be fair you are never going to have a completely secure save data, because after all it is only data, which can be modified in some way regardless of your best e...

P.S. Who knows how many posts I need for the next upgrade?

Irrelevant. Worry about quality not quantity.

Someone should have told eatcomics.

That is awesome. I played with it for about 10 minutes and now I really want to make my own program like this.

Not for my family. I got a record player, some clothes and cash.

Kinda funny how you completely and utterly failed to answer the question he asked. What he's talking about is Serialization, how you take an in-game data structure and put it in a file. The answer is that you have a lot of different choices, mainly depending on what the data itself is. Just look up...

I've also heard of slimdx . Not as many platforms windows to be specific, and Xna is for a multitude of systems including the xbox. I'm not entirely interested in creating a game for xbox or zune but rather a light weight graphics sdk. You could go with slimdx, however if this is your first graphic...

Assuming you're talking about what to store, not how to actually save it which would be done simply with file I/O, it depends entirely on the game and what you want it to save. RPGs will need to save stats/items/position, wheras a puzzle game might only need to store your scores. Also N64vSNES has c...

For C# XNA seems to me to be the best option. I haven't really seen anyone use anything else for it and to my knowledge it is quite a good SDK.

What language are you using?
If you are using C++, I would choose between SDL and SFML. SFML is generally nicer to use, however I prefer SDL.
