Looking for some help with the Design Document Hello everyone, this is definitely my first post in the game design section on the forums. I don't plan on being a designer (as I'm very into programming), but I would like to write up a proper design document for the game I'm working ...

New To Maya Question Hello everyone, I'm EXTREMELY new to maya (I've had it open for only a few minutes), and I'm super new to 3DS Max as well(only have done a few hours of work using it). Anyway, in 3DS max, when you edit a mesh, you can see the triangular wir...

VS2005 Standard and ATL (And some other stuff) Don't have access to my computer ATM. Can anyone tell me if ATL is included with VS2005 by default? I'm interested in making either a FF extension, or an IE plugin. It's not for public release (will be used at work to automate a few forms). I...

C++ Static Library Problems [RESOLVED] Hey guys. I'm having issues with a static library (.lib). The best way to describe it, is to show an example. If I build the library in RELEASE mode, then reference this library in another project then build that project in RELEASE mode, everyth...

[SOLVED] C++: File just won't open Hello all, I'm making a log-file class. Basically, the requirements for my class are: non-singleton, labeled output (reason for proxy class), don't want to pass references to instances everywhere, overloaded << operator. Basically, my clas...

Question about 64 Bit Computing Currently (to my knowledge at least), the highest BIT Depth for any computer is 32-BIT Color (A8R8G8B8). Due to the invent of the 64 bit processors, would this start allowing the usage of 64-BIT color depth (aka, A16R16G16B16)? If it would, would i...

Linking Nonsense I wasn't sure as to whether to not I should put this in General Programming, or the beginner's lounge forum. Anyway, I was just going through the Lazy Foo' Productions' tutorial on how to set up SDL under Visual Studio.NET 2005. I got it worki...

Tactical MMOG - first pre-alpha image Is this rendered in engine, or pre-rendered elsewhere? Looks great!

Vulcan3D engine This is truly impressive. I would not AT ALL be surprised if you landed a job right out of, if not before leaving high school. Keep up the great work!

Ubuntu 8.10 on Windows XP VirtualPC Quote:Original post by DrHalan I would reccomend trying Ubuntu as live CD it is the easiest way. I agree, if you're only trying it out, this would be a truly easy option.

Looking for particular tips on good programming practice Here's a few tips of general programming practice (in order of importance, in my opinion): #1) Be consistent. Choose a good naming scheme, and stick to it. Having some methods called get_foo(), and others Foo(), and others getFoo() will onl...

trying to calculate delta time each frame and getting weird results? If for some reason you don't want to use the Performance Counters, you can look at this. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms713418(VS.85).aspx Notably this section: "Windows NT/2000: The default precision of the timeGetTime function...

Linking problem fixed but not understood in VC++2008 Quote:Original post by Westie007 yeah you can do it "in code" by using: #pragma comment(lib, "requiredLibrary.lib") As for the x86 and x64 versions of the library, I'm not too sure actually. I assume the linker knows which platform yu are comp...

Give me your old game ideas. No! But seriously, I'm working on the design document for something interesting, if you're looking for a small team project. :-D I'll tell you about it on #gamedev next time you get on :-) EDIT: BTW, it's a small p...

Good Language choice for a wannabe pro game developer Quote:Original post by DevFred C++ isn't obsolete, where did you get that idea? It just isn't suited as a first language for beginners. Once you know how to program, learning another language is easy. The hard part for a beginner is to learn two...
