Game Networking

I'm a student currently working on a project with some guy from overseas.
For the networking, I've used Java's knock knock client/server tutorial (the multi threaded one), and added my own Listener to reduce class coupling.
My problem... |

show_menu(int argc, char *argv[]) //I copied int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
/*while int i < argc, cout argv[i]*/
}

Networking in C++

I'm notoriously bad at downloading, installing and compiling libraries.
I need help getting a networking library to work, I've downloaded Enet, OpenTnl and RakNet; none of which I've had any luck yet. I'm using dev-cpp. TCP or UDP is ok.
I've l... |

cpu usage problems

I'm a comp sci student, all i've learnt is data structures. However I find this boring and I try my hand at making games! I've made several simple console games so far including tetris.
The only problem is that I use a while loop to delay the... |

Implementing a waypoint system
|
To be honest I've never thought of precalculated path finding before, Though it does seem ideal for a game with a relatively small amount of nodes over a large area.
Precalculated path finding:
- Dijkstra algorithm should be used.
- uses less... |

Traversing a racetrack (Car AI)
|
Firstly, I'd just like to point out that the racing line is different for every car (probably best to make each car the same to begin with).
The racing line is obviously the fastest speed at which a car can handle around the track. Each car has di... |

After much thought, I think simplicity is the key. What I can do is give each client handling thread an id upon its creation.
The business part of the server would look like this:
int id = 0;
while(true)
{... |

Updating and Collisions
|
I'm no expert either but just a thought:
Updating positions first lets you determine the effect of the collision based on the overlap and I think would be easier to implement. But what if an object is traveling fast and misses other objects'... |

Game idea! Feedback wanted.

Because no human input is necessary, the game would make a good candidate for a web based game. Like 'Kings of Chaos' or one of those sport management games. Users can create an account, make a robot and enter a league/tournament to win cash for... |

Path-Finding with unknown goal Positions

I read the first post and did a word find "dijkstra" and it did not appear!
Dijkstra's algorithm isn't the fastest search algorithm BUT it doesn't require a destination so it is used for resource gathering in strategy games.
Because the charact... |

Passing multiple Arguments

Ah, Thankyou for that, As you said It works really well!
Until now i have simply used: using namespace std;
Do you have some recomended reading I could do? As most of this is new to me. |
