Seamless hexagon textures So I'm making a game with a regular hexagon map. Now the difficulty is in creating seamless tiles. With square tiles, I can make the tile in Photoshop, then use Offset to correct the edges, but I can't do the same with hexagons. I was wondering...

VBOs & glew undefined references I can get Immediate Mode & Vertex Arrays to work, but not VBOs. #include <stdlib.h> #define GLEW_STATIC #include <GL/glew.h> #include <stdio.h> #include "sdl.h" const int NODRAW = 0; const int IMMEDIATE = 1; const int...

GLEW + GLUT = no luck Okay so the below code compiles nicely, but when I uncomment the first line, then it doesn't. I'm using glut-3.7.6-bin.zip from http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html and glew-1.5.5-win32.zip (Windows 32-bit) from http://glew.sourceforge.net/ and f...

Arbitary Rule Changing In many games, the rules are changed mid game. The best example of this is Magic: The Gathering - the golden rule is if there's a conflict, then the card is right. I'm wondering how to program this into a game. Consider an RPG where you have equ...

Programming Music What do you listen to when your programming? I find myself listening to stuff from rpgmp3.com, The Nerdy Show and LoadingReadyRun podcasts. Also I seem to like remixes. Does music help you program, or does it hinder you. I know if I have to t...

Fluid Interactions with Rigid Bodies I'm trying to make a puzzle game. I'm wondering how I'd firstly represent, and secondly draw fluids, in a realtime, interactive manner. Think of you have a pool filled with water, and you have a U shaped bucket in it. As you add rocks to the buc...

Sharing variables with external systems While trying to get an external physics engine to work with my sandbox, I encountered a problem, which I can see that if I don't think about it now, I'm going to run into problems in the future. I'm programming in Java, using Slick to draw, and th...

Java Game Development So I was working through some tutorials from www.cokeandcode.com , and I found out that some of the code had to be refactored. The code was from 2003, I was wondering, what's today's API for making 3d and 2d Java? I want to start on the righ...

Home Server Hey all, I've been wanting to buy my own server that I can keep in the corner, next to the router. Before I started looking for one, I'd thought I'd ask the experts. What I want to get is something that I can play around on, and lear...

Java Game Development - 2d and 3d Hallo, Okay, so I'm somewhat experienced with programming C/C++ and SDL/OpenGL. After a course of Java in uni, which only covered a very small amount of actual programming, I decided to learn Java for myself, online. I have downloade...

How to statically link GLEW using MinGW? The above works for NetBeans, using MinGW. Someone else with more experience on Code:Blocks will have to help you out.

How to statically link GLEW using MinGW? Something like this: [SOURCE] #include <stdlib.h> #define GLEW_STATIC #include <GL/glew.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { glewInit(); if (!glewIsSupported("GL_VERSION_2_0")) { fprintf(stderr, "OpenGL 2.0 not...

Planning to Write an AI Article But- Don't be discouraged, Its hard to garner support before you've written anything. My suggestion is to write a short article (part 1), and see how people respond to it. They can give you writing advice that can improve your further work. What y...

C++ for game development? @ApochPiQ Could you suggest a resource for learning these sorts of things? Preferably not experience or university. Most books I've found on the subject really don't cover the things you've mentioned.

Arbitary Rule Changing Thanks for the ideas Atrix256. I was actually taking more from a code design point of view. So you're suggesting something like this, Konfusius: [SOURCE] class Action { Execute(); } class Buff { Modify(Action); } class Actor...

Fluid Interactions with Rigid Bodies Thanks for your reply Relfos. I'm working in 2d now, but I'm interested in how you'd make it work in 3d. Should I just model the fluid as heaps of rigid circles? That doesn't feel right... I saw this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1xiVyJ3EOM)...

Java Game Dev Help! I found these: http://www.cokeandcode.com/tutorials to be quite informative. And have a look here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ for java tutorials. But as many will tell you, don't make a game engine, make games!
