Symbol ID
|
Very simple question,
I have some written notes from my lecturer on algebra.
He uses a symbol that looks like an upside down "A" . . It seems to mean "if" or "when" or something like that, the context its used in is:
"so ail=0 <upsidedown-... |

multiple header files

OK, so designing an OO program, if I have two separate class header files, both of which require, lets say, d3d9.h, and both of which will be included in the main cpp file, how do I set it up?
for example, if i have:
#include <d3d9.h> in bo... |

XML/Expat tutorials?

basically I'm looking to use xml in my game via the Expat parser.

what program is it exactly they are using?
It sounds almost identical to a program we used in our university course called "robocode" where user-programmed tanks fight each other (head to head or in teams)

2D into 3D Model

i recently got a program demo on a 3DWorld Mag disc,
It could do this, you had to set up flags/corners, links between the pictures etc. . . so its not great. . and like was mentioned before - curved surfaces are a problem. |

thanks,
- I have played around with a very old version of 3ds max (3.1) and also the latest maya PLE (7), but I found maya to be really strange/un-intuitive compared to max. - Is the latest version of max similar?
Also, is there a "learning edi... |

Making animating a breeze...

I honestly dont think an "instant 2d to 3D" program is possible -
1)It has no idea what is behind/on the other side of the bits drawn
2)it doesnt know how "round" something is - ie how does it tell the difference between a 2D drawing of a circle... |

Control System Survey
|
It would be a little hard to customize this system, due to the specific nature the sword is controlled. (And pretty much everything else being controlled by stylus too)
I guess you could reconfigure teh D-Pad so 'up' is 'down' ? =D j/k! |
