SpaceSaver
|
SpaceSaver ( a working title) is simply a flying ship animation, which will at some point (when I get round to it) become a screensaver.
The camera travels round the ship as it flies through a randomly generated, starfield of infinite length (with n... |

For one of my university programming assignments I'm making a skeletal animation system. I've made the system, but am now in need of the all-important character & animations to show it off.

[DX10] Triangle not being rasterized

I'm trying to draw a simple triangle using basic vertex and pixel shaders (no geometry shader set). Pix is telling me that the vertices are being correctly transformed in the vertex shader, but then the rasterizer is (apparently) only drawing th... |

MSVC 2008 - File organisation

In Visual Studio 2005 you could add 'Filters' to a project to organise source files into 'folders', but these folders were purely fictional and only related to the project explorer. Now in 2008 it does organise your source files into actual fold... |

Force feedback editor
|

[C++] Vector memory management

This is out of pure curiosity - how does a vector store elements? Does it use a linked list? contiguous memory? a combination of both?

Display lists are slower?
|
When I render my models using display lists, the fps drops from 29-30 to 12-13? I don't get how this could happen?
This is the code I'm using, literally swapping the two commented lines for the glCallList() call is all I'm doing to make it change.... |

Video Card noise due to read only depth buffers

I've had odd noises coming from my laptop before - especially when my app is running at a high framerate (1000s of fps), or when I've been pushing my ethernet port to its maximum through-put. Usually these sounds are high pitch squeals, and incredibl... |

Why is 'Murder' so popular
|
To be pedantic about this, a lot of killing in games isn't murder, but actually a form of lawful homicide.
From wikipedia: "Murder is the unlawful killing of another human being with 'malice aforethought' ".
Killing in self-defence (not premedi... |

I believe a similar term to what you are looking for would be "drifting". I once wrote a physics based racing game, but was also unable to find enough clear information on the topic to implement it.

why don't ceil and floor return ints?

Given that the calculations required to perform ceil/floor are [generally] all floating ops, converting the result for outputting an int would just be an extra step that the client may not require (ie, the client may want a float and have to convert... |

Skyboxes and related Techniques

The best resolution to use would be one that matches the screen res, so the texture is rendered with texels matching pixels as close to 1:1 as possible. This will minimize the amount of distortion or scaling artefacts caused by minification or m... |

Non-const variable to const pointer
|
It's worth noting that removing constness with const_cast doesn't always do what you think it does.
On some platforms const_cast will only allow you to access the data in a non-const fashion (eg pass it as an argument to a const-incorrect fun... |
