Prefixing names using some notation
|
Let's say we have this little convention of prefixing variable names, based on the kind of the variable:
prefix - meaning (sample variable name)
p - pointer (pWindow)
c - class or struct (cBox)
r - refere... |

I hate how a lot of coding conventions don't explain or provide any argumentation on its choices and why is it preferred over other conventions.

GPL software used for commercial content

I'm mostly concerned about using GtkRadiant for commercial purposes. I've read on the Internet that in the eula of GtkRadiant it is stated that in order to use GtkRadiant for commercial purposes, one must buy a licence from id Software. How... |

Description
Here's some screenshots from my 2D game engine. It is written in C++ and uses OpenGL for graphics, GLEW for OpenGL extensions and ODE for physics. Everything else was written by me. The textures were found on the internet and I prod... |

OpenGL ASCII shader

I remember that ATI control panel had an OpenGL shader to draw the contents of the screen using green or grey ASCII characters. I am wondering how it worked. It probably is a post-processing effect, but I have almost no idea how should I go about imp... |

A choice between studying and working

I am currently 18 years old, I have recently finished the school and it is time to go to study in a university. I learned programming on my own, while I was still in school. I programmed a game engine on my freetime, though it is not quite... |

Accumulation buffer
|
I am having some issues with the accumulation buffer. I tried using this code in my drawing function:
glClearAccum(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glClear(GL_ACCUM_BUFFER_BIT);
glRotatef(m_Rotation, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); //m_Rotation is incremented in U... |

Multipass rendering?

Is there an article describing what multipass rendering from the OpenGL perspective is? How can it be used with GLSL (I'm targeting SM2.0 hardware) to render light from multiple light sources? In which other effects can multipass rendering be used?

GLSL questions

So if I use GLSL for some of the polygons, I can't fallback to the fixed functionality functions and I must mimic them with shaders?
How and where are the shaders stored in big game projects? I don't want users/players to be able to modify or see... |

I learned C#. Now what?

To start writing awesome programs you still have to get there. The trick is to start small. There is no way to know when you actually know programming well enough without applying your knowledge to practical problems, so I suggest that you should jum... |

Visual C++ Express 2010: Release build works in Debug mode but not outside of it?
|
You should be able to run the release executable manually, wait for it to crash and then attach the Visual Studio debugger to it. It should show you the place where the exe crashes and this may help you to locate the problem. |

Prefixing names using some notation

I agree with YogurtEmperor. I should have mentioned myself that I'm mostly concerned with not my own code, but with code written collaboratively by a group of people. And as he mentioned, you can't expect everyone (even yourself) to always write perf... |

Prefixing names using some notation
|
Quote:Original post by Decrius
If you don't know the type, or the kind-of-type, without a prefix, you should seriously consider to refactor the code.
For example if you'd have a variable named "diffuseTexture", there's no way to change its name so... |

Prefixing names using some notation
|
It's more likely to take 0.2 seconds when there's a prefix. It still takes more time to roll over your mouse to see the tooltip or go to the declaration using your keyboard. And you may also forget the kind of the variable after a while. Having it in... |

Or this issue may be avoided by having a 'm' or 'm_' prefix, also making it possible to use intellisense more efficiently. |

The variable isn't that likely to require a change of its kind, especially if it's already so widely spread. And even if it is inevitably needed to change the kind of the variable, it is likely that the name would have to be changed anyway. |

An efficient method of clearing my Z buffer?

You have a lot of cache misses in your clear_z_buffer implementation.
void Rasterizer::clear_z_buffer()
{
for(int i = 0; i < m_screen_width; ++i)
{
for(int j = 0; j < m_screen_height; ++j)
{

Vectors copy constructing too much..

If your vector stores pointers, swapping them shouldn't be an expensive operation. |
