SDL - CPU usage
|
I was testing my just converted SDL game, well after all the work the game works correctly, the problem is that if you switch to other app that app freezes/becomes horribly slow.
I succesfully disabled the game loop for non active times, but the p... |

srand() and rand() portability
|
Of course they are standards so they are available where sdtio is but
I was thinking on adding replays to my game, the only problem is that some objects, specially the monsters' AI rely on random numbers.
So the question is : wou... |

Xye is just an attempt to remake the old classic called Kye.
It is a 2D game, it can sometimes be a puzzle, sometimes a speed challenge and sometimes an arcade game, really depends on the level.

Preventing Graphics to update

Is there a lock member or something for Graphics?
I am using GDI+ to draw multiple layers in an editor. The problem is that the editor keeps blinking in the areas with multiple layers (only the top layers blink) I certainly need a method to lock... |

Forgive my ignorance but shouldn't it implemented a reference counter?

I was trying C sharp and after falling in love with its features (like how easy using SDL.net became) I am having some problems memory management aside.
There is a garbage collector which means that it will wait till you are using a lot of memory... |

java.io.StreamCorruptedException: Type code out of range, is -84

Labels

Any way to have 2 labels really close ? I tried to use setBounds(new Rectangle(stuff) ) when adding the labels to a panel that doesn't have a LayoutManager but it seriously didn't work out.
Is there any way to place a control on the actual co... |

GUI

I'd want an article about making your own GUI on let's say SDL, I know there are pre made GUI libraries and all, but I would like to know how to make your own widgets and how does the whole GUI concept works. |

Isn't encapsullation in c++ just a theory?
|
Ok, well the topic title, I would replace it to why is that to have real encapsullation you have to sacrifice performance?
All right let's say I made an abstraction to the C dirent.h header for c++.
It works like this:
browser.h:

"Vista cast a pall on PC gaming"
|
I don't have vista so I have a question.
What about zips that contain the executable and required dlls in the same folder thus not requiring any installation process, does that still work in vista? |

Modular Programming: A Classless Approach Part I
|
Since the non-class approach is already using an struct, why not just use an struct for the instances instead of all those problems. SDL works like that without using classes. |

.NET, is it better?

Until MONO gets better (as in actually having all .NET features) .NET is not gonna be cross platform and because of that I would have to use java (not like I am gonna make any program that can't run on my beloved ubuntu).
I think MONO's main... |

.NET, is it better?

Benchmarks show that MC++ is much slower than anything else, It is not even recommended by MS unless you want to port some C++ code to .NET .
C# is decently fast, but it is not faster than C++ , the difference is not noticeable as long as you hand... |
