In terms of Lua, I wouldn't start thinking about that until you truly need it. I disagree. Adding it halfway through your project is going to be MUCH harder than designing your engine with Lua in mind from the start. I'm only saying this because he might not need Lua at all through this project. If...

It could be your video card? or maybe some faulty RAM? you can try removing the video card and using the system VGA (if even common anymore?) and see if it runs. I think that my video card is the problem. I have removed it and the strange fan noises have stopped and it sounds to be running as it sh...

I like std::string, but that is probably because my C++ book only ever used those. There is no functionality that a char* has which a std::string doesn't, as far as I know (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

I agree with everything dandymcgee has said. A project like this will help you learn how to structure a game well and will also give you a better impression of how to code more like a games programmer. Even if this project does not get very far, it will be a good learning experience regardless and w...

I'm appending this to the previous posts because I don't feel like starting a new topic and it might (although I don't think it is) be related. I seemingly fixed my computer after reinstalling my video card driver and had no problem with it for weeks. However now my computer is once again failing to...

Out of interest, what would you consider 'knowing' a language. I've completed many beginner books (Sam's Teach Yourself, etc.) in languages such as C# and Java, but I don't really consider myself as 'knowing' them.

I bought it on Friday, however I haven't had many an occasion to play it. From the little I've played it is looking good. It is not hugely different from the all prior Pokemon games, although it does have some nice graphical touches.

I'm not entirely sure on the implementation you are looking for, but couldn't you just have your objects inheriting from a base object class and then have a pointer (or vector of pointers for multiple selection) to a base object which you then assign to whatever object you select.

I would love it if someone could help me learn protoss because i always end up getting a huge trust fund of over 1,000 minerals and I don't know what to do with it when i already have 4 gates and 2 gas and warp tech on the way. Just build more gateways. By the end of the game I sometimes have ~10 g...

Pokemon HeartGold in 13 hours, only using my starting pokemon (Cyndaquil and evolutions). Now I'm working on completing the Pokedex on Pokemon Blue...again.

I just saw that in your 'Special Thanks' you put Falco Vorbis. xD

Well the issue with displaying an image after a collision (the way you're going about it anyways), is that it's only done for a single frame. So the image probably goes up for a fraction of a second, and then disappears. How can I then keep the image up on the screen for the duration of the program...
