Should I use mipmapping with a orthographic projection?
|
I was just wandering about something today, would mipmapping help using an orthographic projection? I work solely in 2D using dx9 and a ortho proj to map textures to screen space. And I've been using some rather large textures that alot of the times... |

I've always had this idea of mixing the chemistry and gameplay together and after some a little research I found what I hope is a rather simple way to ... simplify it.

how can I generalize this situation or do I have to make things special ?

I'm trying to change my little 2D rendering project to allow for different types of vertex formats without having to make special functions just to handle the different formats.
right now I have the following.

This is strange but I have a class that stores a std::vector, but the vector is created outside the class, then passed into the class. My intention is to not pass a pointer of the vector to the class but make a whole new copy so maybe I'm not doing t... |

I was wandering if it was possible to do this, just because I'm not sure how copying std::vectors works or if it does.
class MyVar {
std::vector vector;
};
/* create a new instance of MyVar */

Do games intentionally make the ai dumb?

I'm working on a small game that is similar to the board game risk and as I'm designing how I want my ai to work. The more I think about it seems like I'm designing an AI that will always win, since there is a limited amount of things you can do... |

Design Documents

You at least need to have something stating what the game is how it should be played and basic ideas of what features you want in the game. Otherwise you'll end up a week into the game having all these great ideas, then the game just turns in a const... |
