Good Profiler(s) or Performance Analyzers? I've had my game out for a good year now, and after working in the industry professionally for a year, I finally have some time to get back to it. Before adding some new features to the game, I wanted to fine tune some of the older elements that may...

Online Organization Software I'm looking for a PHP script, or some other online-based piece of software that could help me organize my life better. Things are getting hectic again, and my PDA is behind the times. Fact is, I spend more time in front of a PC at work, school...

Ratings Question So there is no way to find out who has rated you negatively? Sometime in the past 24 hours, someone gave me the lowest rating you can give... and I can't figure out why :) I looked at all the posts I have made in the last week, and every one o...

Strange Memory Issues I *almost* released the game last night, but I encountered one last series of bugs that completely bewilders me. When I do a release build and play through the game, I am almost certain that certain variables are being overwritten. For examp...

Lost Device Recovery Ah yes, another question about the infamous fun of reacquiring lost DX devices :x I've done my research, so I really just need confirmation from someone. This MSDN Link says that: Quote:If the device can be restored, the application prepares...

d3dx9_24.dll etc. Missing We're all familiar with the problems with the February, April, and on releases of the DX9 SDK for the D3DX dll's. My question is whether or not a work-around for users has come up? Currently, I'm having players download the Redistribut...

Recommended iPhone Dev Books Yeah, that Beginning iPhone Development book is roaming our office at the moment - our guys like it a lot too. I will definitely check out the blog and tutorials - that may be a good place to sharpen and hone. Thanks!

Good Profiler(s) or Performance Analyzers? Thanks DrEvil; I'll give those a look, and see what I can come up with.

NEW VERSION: Curator Defense v1.3 Cool! Goodluck on #1; Wayward currently still holds his spot for #1 on Nonstop... I have to tell you, he spent weeks perfecting that strategy! It's a beatable score though, so keep trying =) As for this style of game... it's actua...

NEW VERSION: Curator Defense v1.3 Actually, a mode very similar to what you described WAS in the design for Curator Defense. Unfortunately, I ran out of time to add networking features (it isn't hard, and the game's structure is left open-ended enough that it could be added later)....

Curator Defense Gaheris, Can you post your specs please? Besides HPlus's issue (which I'm working on), this is the only other issue I'm aware of in version 1.2 (which has been tested by close to 100 people so far-- thoroughly). I'd really like to try...

Curator Defense Yes, the Tower Defense style maps have an influence in the base gameplay mechanic. I've always felt that it's high time a developer take that basic idea and "professionalize" it. The gameplay was always solid-- it was just never "wrapped" prop...

Curator Defense Aph3x, you're probably right on the screenshot selection... I just thought the Metal Bugs were so cute, I couldn't resist ;) I probably should have selected another image for the main one though! d h k: No kidding! Always nice to see...

NEW VERSION: Curator Defense v1.3 Hmm interesting, Elliot. I have yet to see that one, thanks for posting! I'll see if I can isolate it... looks... weird :) Cool setup, Ilankt-- it looks like you *almost* beat it, so that's good! I agree, powers + splash is killer damage :...
