Elysian Shadows

Do you guys have any plans of building Elysian Shadows with Emscripten, so you can run it in the browser?

Given that you like getting it to run on different platforms, it seems like something you might be interested in.

Or Clang in particular. which was both designed so it would be useful for building C++ tools, and is under a BSD license.

Better code: //Set empty flag empty = dataCollection.IsEmpty(); Even this seems like a pointless comment to me. You're still just repeating what the code says. The comment should say why you're doing it. // Cache empty state, because IsEmpty is expensive to call. empty = dataCollection.IsEmpty();

What is the type of blue2? If blue2 is an int, then at each point in the loop, you're rounding your result to an int. In the unrolled version, you are doing floating point arithmetic, before saving the entire result in an int. So with the second version, you only do the rounding once, where in the l...

Are you trying to make it so when you hold down the key, your character accelerates? If not, try this: void Player::Input() { if(Event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN); { if(Event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_LEFT) xVel = -(PLAYER_WIDTH / 2); if(Event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_RIGHT) xVel = PLAYER_WIDTH / 2; } if(Event....

I'm looking for books to add to my reading list and was actually leaning toward design patterns and algorithms. Any recommendations? Would it be worth while to look at anything specific to game development ? If you're interested in learning algorithms, Introduction to Algorithms is a good book. And...

Many libraries and APIs tend to favor C over C++ for obvious compatibility reasons. A C library can be utilized by C or C++, but the reverse is not (easily) true. OpenGL, OpenAL, OpenCL, and SDL are great examples of this. These APIs are not written in C just so both C and C++ can utilize them, but...

I don't know many people who would literally copy and paste the same functions and classes to achieve the same thing with different types. I think almost anybody would construct a heirarchial relationship to reuse commonality with runtime polymorphism. That's fair. As is often the case, you end up ...

For example, some overhead associated with C++: 1) RTTI and dynamic_cast 2) virtual function invokation and vtables 3) exceptions 4) templates and so on... Would you like to rephrase your question? Just out of curiosity, what runtime overhead is incurred by using templates? Code size might increase...
