This is a picture from a tiny game I've been working on during the later part of the summer on and off, it's a simple single level "survival" style game which is inspired by Asteroids and Missile Command.
The engine is a simple ... |

Still a work in progress but I'd say its just about done. Its a simple game with just one level which plays until you die. You can submit your scores to the website when done and see who can get the highest score, personally I'm stuck at around... |

Just wanted to share a few screenshots from our game Dawnspire: Prelude, the game (a tactical RPG) has been in development for the past few years in our spare time and we're now slowly closing in on an actual release (ETA: Q3 this year).
So,... |

Subtracting Triangles / Triangle "Cutting"
|
Hi
I'm trying to create a new triangle mesh by "cutting" an area out of one triangle using the shape of another triangle (see image below), the thing is I have no idea what is the best way to accomplish this, I've tried googeling a bit but ha... |

M8 - it's all C++ code, all written by me, not really based on any existing engine, but it borrows many components that I developed while working on Dawnspire (UI manager, device abstraction, audio playback, filesystem stuff etc). The rend... |

Thanks for the comments =)
Yeah, I did follow that tutorial, my end result wasn't quite as good as his though, but good enough I think. |

120468 ... so not that high (I've topped out near 400K), I got a lot of frame drops when FRAPS:ing, which really amazed me, but I guess grabbing 800 * 600 video is a little demanding on this old crappy computer =/
an exploding planet would be... |

That sounds real fishy Simon, I haven't seen it myself, would you mind telling me what GPU you are using, I've only ever tried it on a 6200, 7300, 7600 and 7800, aka, all nVidia GPUs. |

Thanks for the kind words =). 30K ain't bad, it takes practice to get to the higher scores, and a sensitive mouse. And yeah, some more asteroids couldn't hurt I guess, but after a few plays you don't even "see" them anymore ;)
Code is all C++ done... |

What edge-smoothing method are you using? Any?

I take it you are referring to the shadows? We use four samples and do bilinear filtering on those ATM.
When you're rendering the 3 splits of the world, I take it you're culling what you c... |

Regarding the engine, I'll try to answer your specific questions:
Terrain type?
A simple height map rendered in two passes, one base layer and a blended top layer, we use a single texture which fits nine materials with four vari... |

Yeah we use both TCP and UDP, primarily UDP via RakNet in game. The game also uses shaders (v2.0) which as far as I've understood doesn't work in WINE? |

CPU and Memory requirements seem quite moddest although we haven't done any real low end tests, it runs pretty good on my underclocked Athlon 2800+ (Down @ 1GHz) with 512MB and a GeForce 6200, performance isn't exactly stellar but it remains pla... |
