Cancelling an SDLNet_TCP_Open call Hey everyone, I'm wondering if there is a safe way to cancel a call to SDLNet_TCP_Open before it finishes. Sometimes SDLNet_TCP_Open blocks for a long time before returning an error, and I want a way to cancel it from another thread. I considered...

CPU spikes on OSX with SDL and OpenGL Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with my game under OSX. Every so often, at completely random intervals, the game will freeze for a few hundred milliseconds, which is a big problem since my game is very twitch based. The game runs at about 90 fp...

Shaders vs FFP speed I'm considering switching my current FFP code to shaders, but I'm wondering if there would be any speed issues. Specifically, on old cards (such as 1st gen ps 1.1 cards), will I see a slowdown if I implement basic pixel operations like blending...

Damage/Attack system In my games, I use a GameEntity class which all soldiers, vehicles, etc derive from. When one entity attacks another, it calls applyHit() on the target, passing in information needed to determine the damage. The attacked entity can then c...

Electropy Pre-Release Demo Thanks for the feedback. The ninja rope in Worms was indeed part of our inspiration for the gameplay :) We're talking with several publishers at the moment, and the game will probably sell for around $20.

Electropy Trailer "he trailer was a little, erm, over dramatized" Exactly :) Thats the whole point :)

Submitting games to online publishers Maybe I worded that wrong. With the exception of sound effects, the gameplay is complete. We have almost 100 polished levels, a menu system complete with visual options and account creation, and a functional online score system. Even in its c...

Replays using determinism on other processors Thanks guys. Guess I'll have to rework my replay code a bit.

A hard problem! Get maximum one of two natural numbers. This works for all the numbers I've tried. If the = operator and new variables arent allowed it can easily be edited so that they are not used. Commented for your viewing pleasure. unsigned int Max(unsigned int a, unsigned int b) { //adding...
