Critique my networking plan
|
This is my first shot of doing the networking side of a game and would love some feedback of my plan for a rts/rpg style game.
1) Both the server and all clients will run the game simulation in their own thread locked at 20 FPS.
2) Parts of... |

Checking for server updates with TCP/IP without polling

Sorry if this is a trivial networking question; I am making the jump from pure graphics programmer to starting on networking.
I'm looking to create a main server that handles messages such as basic chat. While its is quite obvious how to sen... |

Line smoothing no longer working on modern hardware?
|
I must admit that I haven’t used GL_LINES in years, but now that I need to use them, I cannot manage to get the lines to anti-alias. I’ve google’d around to make sure I’m not forgetting anything.
I do recall reading some glHints aren’t even used... |

Raytracing via shaders

Sorry if this has already been discussed in detail here, I could not find such a post on it. I’m thinking of creating a real-time ray tracer project and was hoping to get a little input; make sure I have a sound plan before starting. This woul... |

Yet another terrain engine with water

Yet another terrain engine with water.
A terrain engine I made about a year ago. I never finished it as I got distracted by work and my other 3d project. Can’t have the image of the day drying up, so I figured I would post a few screnies. Forgiv... |

Hours in the game dev industry?

What are some typical hours some of you who are working game dev lifestyle working? At some point in life I decided to sell my soul and become a consultant, ending up working some pretty ridiculous hours. As programmers, are we doomed to wor... |

Mythros: Some more terrain

A while back I posted some screen shots of a terrain engine I had worked on. The project then died a terrible death as I started working with all my spare time on a space game project. Well now our game dev team has decided to scale down... |

Speeding up bone animation.

Currently I got some skeletal animation running purely on the CPU and I’m not very happy with the results. I’m using quaternions for rotation and doing a spherical linear interpolation to get the quaterion between the 2 key frame quaternions.... |

1000 TCP sockets is not a problem on modern hardware.
Ohh, well I must be reading outdated information. That solves all my problems then, thanks! |

Then use UDP - the connection-less protocol.
Thousands of connections are not necessarily the problem, if there's not much traffic going over them. Idle connections will just need a keep-alive signal once i... |

Checking for server updates with TCP/IP without polling

Hmm, Well for the game I'm maintaining the connections, but for the lobby client to create/join games ill have far too many connections. Is there really an alternative to breaking connections if ill have potentially 1000's of connections to the lobb... |

I see, I was hoping to keep the server listening for connections, and having the client purely connecting to send and receive (and closing connection after). Thanks for the feedback. |

Can Starcraft 2 compete with Company of Heroes?

I’m sorry, but this subject matter doesn’t even make sense. Starcraft 2 has been announced for how many days? How can we even pretend to comment on game play, strategy, and innovation? Why don’t we wait for a game to be released before destru... |

I'm reading that an openGL app can be CPU or GPU limited ; would multi-threaded rendering not be faster in the first case ?
Yann is referring to just the rendering portion of your code. Your rendering portion of c... |

If that's the case, I'm very curious to find out what specific algorithm you are talking about, and if there is documentation available on it.
I too am interested, the DOF looks very nice. |
