Since we are sharing stories about fail gcc. G++ has a bug where if you try to transform using std::lower it just will not work. Microsofts compiler can do it but g++ cannot. So transform(str.begin(), str.end(), str.begin(), std::lower); needs to be written as std::transform( s.begin(), s.end(), s.b...

I am working on a puzzle game with a small team you can find the code at: http://code.google.com/p/noobtoob-kickle/ we have spent a long time writing the back end in C++ and we have lua integration implemented.

Consider the senario that you want to make money off your game, making it free does not really accomplish that and open source won't stop pirates.

I run Linux I enjoy it but I also have windows and mac and I enjoy those operating systems as well. The best thing about Linux is package management and costing nothing. OS wars are silly.

DRM in games has become a very popular choice to "protect" content amongst major game publishers. Personally I see this as an uphill battle as DRM is cracked and the software applications still end up available for bit torrent without the restrictions of DRM. All it does is punish the user...

Firstly a lot of starcraft is just having fun with friends and that component is still in the g...

We have had issues with building a release version that will work on non-development computers, I personally cannot test the issue since I do not have another windows computer :/ Maybe it is C++ redistributable? Thanks for the quick response

Hey guys I thought I would make a new thread for the release versions of the 2d puzzle game I am working on

Yup I agree with all of your points on XML and I thought I would post some reasons why we chose it for this project in particular. First off the game is going to be completely based around UGC (user generated content) with community members writing custom maps and scripts for the game. This instantl...

Hello I have a question for everyone who has implemented a map format before. How have you gone about structuring it? For example I use XML which I parse through tinyXML ( a great lightweight xml parsing libraryfor C++ ) I have heard that other people use JSON and a lot of indie game developers just...

Data structures form a very important role in sophisticated applications. I find that the STL provides a way of easily accessing useful data structures for solving problems. The issue is that STL is generally abused and I would really stress that the algorithm and the application design is far more ...
