Hi all,
To The World Tree is a game I put together for the IGF competition based on the engine I've been working on for the past year. It didn't do well in the IGF (not a finalist or anything), but I've been having fun working on it... |

Hey all,
I've started to get some feedback on my RPG "To The World Tree" (website http://www.prankster.com/ttwt), and the interface has taken some bashing. Not surprising, since I did the interface in MFC as the easiest way to get a functiona... |

Direct3D light limit
|
So, it seems that everyone "knows" that Direct3D has a limit of 8 lights. And sure enough, all the video cards that I have (2) allow 8 lights. (Though in software vertex processing mode they allow infinite lights, which isn't surprising).
However,... |

RPG - Low Level Representation

Hey all,
In my role-playing game engine, I have defined things such that a character of five levels higher than another is basically twice as powerful. So, a level 10 character can fight two level 5 characters with a 50% chance of success. I'm hap... |

Making characters "stand out" in a 3D world
|
Hey all,
This probably verges on an art direction question, but I think it's a Game Design question too, and I'm not an artist.
In a 3D graphic world, how do you ensure that the characters stand out from the background? My particular inter... |

How to rename std::vector?

Quote:Original post by yahastu
Sometimes I find it helpful to #define something in a header, and this is safe to do without polluting external code if you just #undef it at the end of the header.
Well, not quite safe; you could potentially stomp... |

"Languages" within games

I remember playing the game "Robot Odyssey" as a kid, a long time ago. And look, WikiPedia knows about it too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Odyssey
It was a neat game; you had to navigate a series of levels using a set of robots. I don't... |

Beginning Programmer: Which of these is the preferred coding method? (C++)

Note that each "cout <<" generates a function call when running, whereas if you do the multiple line concatenation, the compiler will put the string together, and make just one function call. And making a function call has some cost associ... |

Simple gravity between 2 masses
|
taby and -Greywolf- have done a nice job of summing up realistic, physically accurate gravity.
However, if you're making something like a 2D arcade game, accurate gravity can drop off too quickly. Meaning when mass 2 is close to mass 1, it will ge... |

Moving object
|
Hi,
The functions sin() and cos() take the angle in radians, not in degrees. To convert from degrees to radians, divide by 180.0 and multiply by pi.
If you want to know more about radians, Wikipedia has a long article (that I didn't read):
