Minimal redist for DX9.0c
|
I've checked all the loaded modules in the output window of VS when I run my game and the only DLL that is loaded that there is a cab file for in the redist is d3dx9_36.dll.
Assuming that the user has some kind of DirectX 9 install, does anyo... |

Orc - a 2D shoot-em-up
|
Orc is a 2D space shooter written in C++. It uses Direct3D for the graphics and DirectSound for the audio.
It is the first project I've written using Direct3D rather than DirectDraw so alphablending features heavily.
It currently features two k... |

Web space access slow
|
Is it just me or is the webspace access for GD+ incredibly slow at the moment? It's taking up to an hour to get to the Manage Webspace page then taking forever to upload images.
Thanks. |

Squishy

This is an early screenshot from my current project, Squishy. The game revolves around a soft body hero with extendable elastic arms with which it swings around the level and moves objects around.
The physics are handled by the inestimable Box2D.... |

Odd behaviour with D3DPOOL_MANAGED textures

I've come across some rather odd behaviour in my game that seems to be related to using D3DPOOL_MANAGED textures.
I have several textures in use in the game, one for the background, one that atlases map blocks, and textures containing my... |

Shader problem

[EDIT - not to be a solved-thread-poster, but I've figured this out already. See end of post [smile]]
I'm trying to switch between using two different vertex shaders in the same render loop and they seem to be interfering with each other.

Do staff object to PMs used to play chess

Serious question.
I've been playing rip-off using capn_midnight's jschess and the site's PM. I recently also started another game with sprite_hound.
This is starting to generate a lot of PMs. I don't really know how or if this has any affect &#... |

SAT and multiple collisions

Bit of a tricky problem to explain in words, so I've drawn some pictarz.
I'm trying to basically use static SAT to do collisions, largely based on Oliii's tutorials. Everything is fine when colliding a pair of shapes, but I'm baffled by how t... |

- do all motion updates based on time elapsed since previous frame
Problem with that is that simulations are not stable. In the case of complex physics, this can lead to assemblages bursting apart. In the more usua... |

DirectAudio weird behavior

No solution for you but just so you know you're not going nuts, I've observed a similar problem with DirectSound in my game - until I actually play a sound, there is a similar horrible lag.
Doesn't really matter in the finished game as a sound wil... |

Fixed Timestepping Interpolation

Quote:Original post by kiwibonga
If you interpolate, the remainder accumulator should be reset to 0 at the end, because that time has been "accounted for" -- otherwise, you'll be accounting for a progressively bigger remainder every frame

Fixed Timestepping Interpolation

Code looks okay from a quick look. What I would say is that timeGetTime() is not at all accurate unless you call timeBeginPeriod(1) at the start of the program. You need to call timeEndPeriod(1) before the program closes.

Solved:) How to show a square in D3D9

Triangle LIST requires 3 vertices per triangle. You have four in total so I guess you want a triangle STRIP, but beware of winding order issues.
I wouldn't recommend cross posting here as a way to get responses faster. |
