Universal KeyCode?
|
I am currently building a wrapper for DirectInput. I would like to use my own keycodes instead of the DirectInput keycodes. I am having trouble thinking up a good way to convert the DirectInput keycodes into my keycodes.
Is there any universal key... |

Tile Organization Tool

Hi,
I have been using a map editor that only supports 1 texture file per map. It has begun to become a pain. I have been copying and pasting sections of tiles from one tile file into another tile file for far too long. Has anyone heard o... |

Map Format
|
Hi all,
I just have a quick question about map format. In the past, I have created maps that use a static size of memory. IE;
map = new char[MAP_WIDTH * MAP_HEIGHT];
So, map memory footprints are the same each time.
I have also read a few ar... |

How do you feel about Singletons in an Engine?
|
Hi everyone,
I have recently worked through all existing parts of the Enginuity article. I describes the backbone of a simple engine. The engine itself uses Singletons, and in some cases classes that very well could be singletons (all static membe... |

Hi all,
I'm back yet again with another question about the design of the simple engine I have been working on.
I am currently attempting to design a simple scene management system. I am using a slight bit of facadism. Here is a UML diagr... |

Extra Layer for Detail Texture?
|
Hi,
I am having an implementation design block at the moment. I am building an isometric map class. The map is made up of layers. Layers are made up of cells. The standard iso-newb design.
Before I ask my question let me layout a scenario:
I h... |

Layer dimension independence

Hi,
Has anyone found a use for independently sized layers? So my design would look like this:
class Cell {
// some texture, some attributes, yada yada yada
};
class Layer {
int numRows;
int numCols;
int cellWidth;
int... |

Design Programs?

Hey guys and gals,
Not 100% sure if this is the correct place but I have a simple question. Are there any nice, free software applications out there for creating design documents? I am interested in something that might use UML with comments. I a... |

Finding Team Members

Not a bad idea, but I know that many people around here really don't like it when posts are in the wrong forum and they may classify this as that, so don't worry if you get any heat on it.
Anyways, I might get in touch once the competiti... |

Universal KeyCode?

Well I am going to start implementing a translation table, between the DI codes and my codes, boo hoo. ^.^d
BUT if anyone knows of a better way to do this by simply making a few fancy schmancy method calls please let me know. |

How do I add a char to a char array?
|
Oldschool cstrings might not be your best bet here. Those character arrays cannot be dynamically expanded. Once you set it to a specific size (256 in your case) you cannot add a character at or passed array index 256.
Your best bet (and easiest... |

Tile Organization Tool
|
Thanks Born2Code :) At least now I know it is a very useful idea. I am debating between changing the map editor since it is open source, or writing my own organization tool. We'll see.
Thanks again,

Tile Organization Tool
|
Yeah, just a pain to write a new converter for a different map editor file format, but I think that is what I am going to do. I am definitely going to keep the tile organizer idea around, and maybe implement one myself.

Thanks, I thought something was wrong with my math. I should have just looked it up online. Just another reason why I hate 'concept only' taught courses. I should know that off the top of my head without looking it up...... |
