Is SmartDraw any good?
|
I'm looking for a program I can use to design UML diagrams. My school has SmartDraw installed on all their computers, and I've messed around with it a bit. It seems to have good support for UML, and a lot of other types of diagrams. But is it re... |

weird things happening

I'm writing a sort-of tournament simulator as a prototype for a game I want to make. The program runs in a console, and is essentially meant to simulate something like the Playoffs Bracket. Here's the source:

history class is pointless...

High school history classes are so totally pointless. For me to graduate, I have to have at least one credit in *European* history. WHY?! I don't live in Europe! I don't plan on moving or even ever travelling to Europe! And if I did, I woul... |

question about deleting objects

I have been monitoring my game's memory usage in the task manager in Windows, because I thought I had a memory leak. So I started up the game until it came to a breakpoint I had placed. Then I opened the task manager, and the memory usage was 19,480... |

memory management problem

Hi. I'm having a bit of a memory management problem in a game project of mine. The game is a 1942 clone, just a simple overhead shooter in which the player takes control of a plane flying over the sea, fighting other planes. My problem, as I said, li... |

need ideas for '1945' clone

Hi. I've been working on a '1945' clone, and the base framework for the game is up and running perfectly. It is designed in such a way I can easily add all kinds of new content to the game. All I have as of now is your basic bullet and one... |

noobish, probably naive question

Okay, I'm not really a noob to game programming, but I've encountered a problem that I've never had any trouble with before. Here's a code snippet:
float start_time = (float)CL_System::get_time();
float curr_time = start_time;

MIDI to WAV?
|
Does anybody know of a good, FREE program for converting MIDI music files to WAV's? I've tried Google, and found a lot of seemingly good programs, but all of them cost about $20.00. |

For the tank's movement: every five seconds (or some other similarly small time interval), give the AI tank a new destination for it to travel to. Draw a line (not literally on the screen, but in theory) between the tank and the destination. If... |

I believe you can still compile vb6 code in vb.NET. I also believe that .NET is much more than "just a couple of web site add-ons"
Yes, .NET is a whole new iteration of the compiler. The language has change... |

Just remeber to start out easy and NOT dig into 3D. Start writing some classical games such as tetris, pacman and astroids.
This is excellent advice, except if you're already a very skilled and experienced programmer,... |

I read that somebody said they had heard it was good practice to expose the x and y members publicly. I disagree, as I think they did. Though it may seem OK since it's just a simple vector class, there's is... |

First MMORPG

For an MMORPG, you need C++ for performance and speed reasons. It's as simple as that. Plus you need dedication, skill, some more dedication, and some more skill, and so on. Plus, you better be a absolute network programming genius, or you'll fa... |

I've just skimmed through this thread, so I may repeat something, but here's my thoughts:
Firstly, you need to inline those functions! They are small, and will be called many, MANY times during the game's execution. These could serve as a minor pe... |

Questions regarding moderate level C++

It sounds to me like you need this book: "C++ for Game Programmers" by Noel Lloepis. It's excellent, and it's sole purpose is to cover how to effectively use the exclusive features of C++. Templates actually has an entire chapter devoted to it.
