SDL_Mixer, mp3 and Mix_HookMusicFinished I'm encountering an odd behavior with SDL_Mixer and mp3's. I am just curious as to if other people have noticed this happening as well. Mix_HookMusicFinished appears to fire off a few times before the music actually starts playing for the first tim...

DarkSkyFire Originally I created this game as an attempt at a 10 hour program. After I got the basic system up and running people kept at me with a few suggestions and I was offered sounds which I felt obligated to implement and so this ended up taking about 24...

SDL_Mixer Wrapper (previously: Help Avoiding a Singleton) I am using SDL_Mixer which has a C style interface to handle my music/audio playing and I am wrapping the functionality within a pair of C++ classes. One is AudioPlayer and the other is AudioPlayList. I will later have a third class which...

Guild Wars 2 Quote:Original post by jpetrie I work on it. It's fun. Neat. I'm actually looking forward to giving it a shot. I played and enjoyed Fury quite a while back despite its flaws (until it died), and I enjoyed Guild Wars, but it felt a little t...

If WW3 occurs within the next 6 months, thank WikiLeaks Quote:Original post by Prinz Eugn I just think there are times when things should be kept secret.

I think the original poster might have a point Usage (Know your Meme) Quote:“I think X is a pretty cool { guy, girl }. {Eh, Seh} (verb) Y and doesn’t afraid of anything.” Begin with “I think” with proper capitalization on the “I”. Refer to the character as a metonymy, for example, I’ll...

Is posting your full name online a bad idea? I'm not really worried if people know my name is Michael Hamilton and I live in Edmonton. As far as I'm concerned separating myself from myself simply because I'm posting online is a pretty schizophrenic thing to do. If I were to meet you at a...

How much do you trust Wikipedia? I'd trust Wikipedia on certain topics (basically whatever article it says more citation is needed, or that the article may contain original research) as much as I'd trust an unverified student essay. Many Wikipedia articles are very good, but f...
