Fast (but approximate) cartesian to polar coord conversion
|
I was hacking around trying to develop a faster way to convert cartesian to polar coordinates without needing to use and expensive atan2(x,y) and sqrt(x*x + y*y) to get the angle and distance and came up with this fast approximation. I use it for co... |

Multi Monitor Framerate Frustrations - insights appreciated
|
Hi, I have a program which renders D3D graphics to 2 monitors (fullscreen mode, vsync on) but each of the monitors seem to have slightly different refresh rates. They're running on the same graphics card (NVidia). I have been unable to so... |

acceptable directx practices

I'm designing a directx app that's to run on most non-sucking graphics cards from say 2000 and beyond, and i'm wondering what people have found the general support is for certain directx practices.

Texturing dilemma

Hi, i'm working on texturing fish for my virtual aquarium, using the old-school non-pixel shader method, and i've hit a problem i'm having trouble figuring out. I'm applying 3 maps - a diffuse map (modulated by point color), and the fish's refl... |

Licensing of software technology

Hey all,
I've just been approached by an individual about licensing some technology i've created. I've been working on a virtual aquarium for 1.5 years and this individual wants to use it to create a 12-screen wide super-panoramic virtual aq... |

Rare http problem

Hey all,
I'm experiencing a seldom-occuring problem with my auto-updater. I have a lot of users and the code below seems to work for 99% of people. However, for the odd user, it doesn't. Consistently they say they use Norton Firewall (perhaps j... |

Upload a file using http?

Hey all,
Does anyone have experience with uploading a file to server using http? I'm trying to avoid FTP. I'm sure i must be missing something or quite possibly grossly misunderstanding how http works. I admit i have very little understanding o... |

Arrgh! Viewing a child window when in D3D fullscreen mode
|
Further investigation reveals that the filerequester works successfully after every 2nd pd3dDevice->Present() call. That's why it seems to be working randomly about half the time. After 1 present() it will fail to hide the window, but after the... |

Arrgh! Viewing a child window when in D3D fullscreen mode

I could, but will that not affect my app's performance? I want to keep my wait for vsync and be able to run at the maximum refresh rate with as much efficiency as possible. Is there not a way to make sure my D3D window can be temporarily stowed awa... |

You're right, that's a typo (fixed now).
Yes, i looked them up before and saw the lawsuit. They seem annoying to their target market. Regardless they may be a good route to get my product out there, though they told me this CD would only be... |

Licensing of software technology

Actually, after talking more the deal isn't quite what i thought. Turns out they'd probably want ME to create the content (fishtank) or just use what i have. Boils down more to a licensing fee plus time worked on it. So my question becomes, w... |

Thanks all for your good advice. Looks like i'm getting a lawyer. This project, if it goes through, will actually be for a major Las Vegas hotel!
I just found that out. Las Vegas - where their motto itself is an agreement of non-disclosure.

FTP and auto-updating - how can i make it secure?

You have two problems:
You don't understand the concept of FTP accounts - if you actually control the server you would be able to setup a limited access account that could only see and read certain files, and... |
