Your thoughts on Nintendo as a company

I've held Nintendo stock for several years, but now i'm wondering if it's time to sell. I wanted to get your opinions on Nintendo as a business.
Although Nintendo makes money on everything they sell, that's already priced into the stock... |

References to other objects: Pointers or ID's?
|
Game objects need to know about other game objects or lists of game objects. I tend to store those as pointers (C++) for ease of use.
HOWEVER, i've been doing a lot more webdev and database work professionally than i do gamedev work at home. In a... |

For-loops with floats? (how I hate thee...)
|
I'm trying to step through a parametric curve that goes from values 0..1 - So i thought i'd just set up a simple for-loop:
for ( float x = 0.0f; x <= 1.00f; x += 0.05f ) {
std::cout << x << "\n";
}
output:
0
0.05
0.1
0.15... |

The basic shapes are created using B-spline curves; currently one for the body and one for the tailfin.

Need Design Feedback (updated)

We're toying with new front-page designs for our websites at work and no one can agree on much of anything. We decided it would be best to get the opinions of other people instead of simply continuing to bicker about what we like or don't l... |

How hopelessly out of date am I ?

I've read the free/public OpenGL RedBook and learned the basics behind geometry types, lighting, textures, materials, etc. I don't know anything about shaders, extensions, or any of those fancy graphics tricks that people like to show off in the Imag... |

I agree with that.

Yet another where should I start thread?

3D:
You need to decide between OpenGL and Direct3D. If you intend to do only Windows, obviously you want to travel down the Microsoft route. But it sounds like you are coming from a linux perspective, so you might want OpenGL instead, which h... |

Your programming history will serve you well. At least you are not one of the dime-a-dozen "i have this idea and want someone else to make it for me" types of video game addicts.

Question about acquiring help

There's a lot of people looking for pixel artists! Unfortunately, you also know they want to make their own game, not yours. If you want your own game made (and completed), you either have to come up with some cash or suck it up and learn to program.... |
