Indices problem with terrains
|
I have been working on a simple scenegraph-driven engine for a short while, and recently I encountered a very frustrating problem while adding terrain. Because I want to keep things simple for now, my engine's terrain basically consists of loadi... |

Engine design questions
|
Thus far I've found the gamedev forums, and this forum in particular, to provide very useful information on everything that has to do with game engines. I've read many 'classic' threads where Yann L. explains everything from shadow mapping to sc... |

setCharacterAttributes - same icon only shown once

Hey everyone,
I am making a java IRC client and I use a JTextPane with a HTMLEditorKit for the output in channels. Recently, I've refactored my code to use a new class, a ChatWriter to print the formatted text into whatever channel, given a s... |

Texture problem: green appears as pink

Hey all,
I'm busy adding textures to my opengl framework, but a strange change of color keeps haunting my test application. Below is the image I'm using as texture, and as you can see, it's mostly green:
However, it appears like so (click &... |

Function pointers to class methods

I'm trying to add different camera models to my graphics framework and I'm running into some difficulties with function pointers. I have created a BaseWindow class to which you can add event handlers. The expected function pointer that you have to pa... |

Runtime error at virtual function call

I'm experiencing a rather strange run-time error (an access violation) in a certain function where I call another, virtual, function. First things first, so here's the generic error message that Visual Studio 2005 gives:Unhandled exception at 0x00456... |

Scenegraph won't be rendered

First of all, thanks for taking your time to read through this post; I apologize in advance for the amount of code, but I really have no idea where it goes wrong so I can't make a more narrowed-down selection.
I am working on a small framewor... |

Snake with a twist

Hey everyone,
I realise this is not a very fancy IOTD thread, but seeing as it's the first game I actually finished I decided to post it anyway. Basically, I started way over my head in game programming ('designing' 3D engines when all I was actua... |

Different speeds at every run?

Hey everyone,
I recently started on a small snake game in java and so far everything is coming along fine. Everything, except for this very odd phenomenon that keeps occurring more often than not when running the application.
I use System.n... |

question about OOP
|
Why does your Networks class need to know about your Game class though? I do not know how exactly you're 'designing' your game, but if my assumption that your Networks class only handles everything network-related is right, then, in theory, it h... |

Indices problem with terrains

Quote:should be all you need to render 1 quad = 2 tris =(2x2 verts) with a trianglestrip. But I'd have to check to be sure.
You highlighted the problem exactly with that first line :P My FlatGrid class uses a triangle-list by default, but I had no... |

texture mapping issues/questions
|
The code wouldn't have imported any files at all. fopen gives you a file pointer and that's it. In order to read information from the file you'd have to look at using fread. Or alternatively, if you're using C++, you might take a look at using stream... |

texture mapping issues/questions

The differences between various image formats generally all boil down to... well, exactly that: their format. A .bmp image for example, being the easiest to load, basically stores the raw image data with just a little header information (although com... |

Best way to store input?

I am personally a fan of the observer pattern, but that may also partly be because I've spent a lot of time programming with Java (and Swing). Since the observer pattern is mainly used in event-driven designs, I'd be inclined to say that using it als... |

Static Error [solved] Getting JButton name? [solved]
|
The problem is, both humanPlayer and computerPlayer are 'instance variables'. That means they can only be accessed when there is an object of the class they're in. Static members, on the other hand (also called class variables), can be call... |

Static Error [solved] Getting JButton name? [solved]

Instead of toString, wouldn't it be simpler to just cast the Object to a JButton and use getName()?
If you intend to have different objects be passed into the shotFired method, you can always use the instanceof keyword to determine what cast to ex... |

Texture problem: green appears as pink

Hmm, I changed that line into:pixels[y * width + pIndex] = ( 0xFF << 24 ) | ( curpixel[2] << 16 ) | ( curpixel[1] << 8 ) | curpixel[0];Then the green showed up, but the red dots were blue...
Conclusion? The .bmp file I loaded did... |

Function pointers to class methods

Yes, what did you want to hear? "I've been incredibly stupid for not realising this..." - because that's true, how I could possibly think that passing pointers to member functions of uninstanced classes around would work is still a riddle to me, but... |
