|
I'm having trouble with an old fullscreen DirectX 9 application under Windows 7 that I need to get running again.
I'm using a dual monitor setup on my computer and that seems to be a big part of the problem. The application runs fine when dis... |

I have converted a project from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2008. After the conversion I get linker warnings:

This IOTD shows a game developed in C# and Silverlight 2.0.
The main reason for using Silverlight was that I wanted to evaluate how easy it would be and how well suited Silverlight is for game development. I have never tried Flash so I can't compare... |

Finally, time for a release of an old project - Fungi.
This one has been bugging me for some time due to the fact that I wasn't satisfied with the game play experience at first. The development of this game started back in 2002. I had an idea... |

Ogg Vorbis SDK discontinued?

I found the article Introduction to Ogg Vorbis on GameDev which says:
"First, head over to Ogg Vorbis Home to download a copy of the SDK."
I'm I completely lost or is there no such SDK any longer?
I found another post here on GameD... |

I'm having a problem with floating point texture rendering using OpenSceneGraph (which is based on OpenGL).
My test setup is the following:
* A floating point texture which I manually fill with data in the range of 0.0 - 5.0.

SAS and DXSAS

I am a bit confused.
I have been trying to read up a bit on SAS and DXSAS lately but don't find much consistent information about this on the net. My main confusion comes from the actual annotation syntax used in SAS. When I read the Direc... |

The second question about the FFT generating ocean waves.
|
There are certainly a number of ways to generate the initial height field. One way is to just generate random noise data at the beginning. Filter this data from high frequencies using the FFT method described and you will get a smooth looking sur... |

The second question about the FFT generating ocean waves.
|
The basic concept for using FFT to generate water waves is:
1. Generate a random height field for your waves.
2. Do an FFT on this height data to go to a frequency domain.
3. Filter out all high frequency data.
4. Do an inverse FFT on... |

Problem solved, thanks for your responses,
Of course, I should have checked the output from the DirectX debug level logs.
The problem originated from the fact that resources were not released before trying to do a Reset() on the device whe... |

About generating ocean with FFT!
|
If you don't want to read up on the inner math of FFT but still want to use it, take a look at Kiss FFT, http://sourceforge.net/projects/kissfft.

It has been never been manually entered, it came with the previous project files I guess. It looks like this in the command line:
/MANIFESTUAC:"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'"
Even if I set it to No it gives:

thk123: I'm developing in Visual Studio 2008. You just need to get the Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008 to develop in C#. I've not tried Visual Web Developer so I can't tell if there is any difference there. |

CPU Usage

I forgot to tell why yielding is not a good idea when you want full graphics performance. The reason for that is because yielding means that your process is not going to be re-scheduled again until the next time quanta in the CPU scheduler occurs. Th... |

CPU Usage

When you are running in menu mode, or other game modes where not much graphics activity is going on, you should consider yielding your application to free up some CPU cycles every lap in your main loop. This both allows other applications more C... |
