Elysian Shadows

@EccentricDuck - Hmm, I didn't quite run into that conclusion when I was reading articles. It seemed like everyone did have functionality within components, but for certain reasons that I don't really remember, that was where the main complaints against them came. So that made me think about how I h...

@Falco - Yeah, today I thought about it again, and I was thinking about Scripts as a main argument for putting the OnUpdate function back into the base class. But I had already planned to have some sort of ScriptingSystem to manage any component that has a script, so then again I find that component...

Well, I thought it'd be a waste to start an entire new topic, when my question pertains to this topic. Anyways, I started programming a simple Component Entity System, just so that I could see how I like it. Well, after getting through a bit of it, I my base Component class had a single pure virtual...

Im not sure if I'm correct, but it seems like a way to pick and choose your super classes via templates. Is this right? Yeah, pretty much. I really enjoyed reading it, and after a few link jumps, and reading through other opinions on different ways to style objects, I'm content with the way I have ...

Congratulations :D!

Well, for a large part of my life, I've been interested in math and computers. I was always the top of my class in math, and I always knew more about computers in general than most people within my school. Around my 8th grade year, I stumbled upon a video of a Super Smash Bros DS homebrew. A few lin...

Adding to what Ginto said, when you are adding entities to the vector, it's also a good idea to loop through them, and check to see if there's a NULL pointer, if so, assign the value of your entity pointer to that NULL pointer. That way you don't always have to reallocate the vector when you add an...

I remember saying something about this in a previous thread a while back... Now note, I've never actually tried this myself, but I would think it should work (I haven't done much with OGL, been using SFML). But anyways, have a function that instead of rendering, stores each "tile" in an ad...

From my understanding, it does have an impact on compile time... The inclusion of a header takes place before the code is actually compiled and (from what I understand) more or less "copies and pastes" the header into whatever file. So if you define your functions in there, you'll have tho...

Your header guards aren't right... They should be like:
The define shouldn't come after the class.

Well, I think 4 of those 6 can be very easily applied to noncommercial development: "I'm going to make an RPG with 3,000 enemy types, real-time combat, and a first-person shooter mode. And dancing, lots of dancing." "I've got my design in my head, and now I just have to make it."...

Out of curiosity, what's the point in making those web apps?

If you're using C++, I'd recommend a map

Well, just looking at a few things, A = 1 + sqrt(3). Why? Well, if you've taken geometry, the height of an equilateral triangle with base b is b/2*sqrt(3). With 4 equilateral triangles with bases of 1, the final total area comes out to sqrt(3). 1 is the area of the square. So, fitting it into your ...
