|
I am currently writing a piece of software that uses the MVC pattern. I have a class, which can be called 'Element' for the sake of this discussion that holds data, so would be the 'model' part of MVC.

A question of design.

Hi all,
I've been working on an RPG in C# and XNA (just so you understand the syntax) and have been storing my game details in XML files. The main problem I have is that my design doesn't seem all that great. Basically id numbers are used to as... |

RPG Developers: Question to you
|
How have you implemented the Items, Monsters and those kind of lists? SQL style database? XML and loading into memory when the game loads? your own files? your own database even?
(Curious for my own project, so all answers welcomed ;) ) |

PHP/Javascript Tile Map and Character Movement

I don't really see the question here, but I assume you're unsure about how you can do the character movement without the page reload happening?
You can use a key event function in javascript (an article on the differences between browsers... |

Using MVC design pattern

Thanks Antheus. My understanding of MVC seems to have been a little off, so thanks for pointing out that distinction.
MVVM seems interesting, but due to the fact I'm writing in Java I already have MVC set up in the form of Observable and Observer... |

(not)Attending University Lectures

I often skip lectures, or waste them by day dreaming / writing on a shared piece of paper with friends instead of talking out loud. I know a lot of people who do the same too, so you aren't alone in that respect.
As for feeling guilty, that d... |

Linux frame buffer question

Eh, thanks for the replies. It was a long shot really, I didn't expect anyone to give the perfect answer. Yeah the frame buffer is just a piece of memory, and i was referring to the in-kernel framebuffer. What I didn't realise when I wrote the post,... |

First off, you probably want to separate anything regarding XML from the Player class. What if you decide you don't want to support XML anymore? You're forced to change your Player clas... |

Mentors?

I have to agree with Drigovas. Pester your lecturers and especially go to lab times with 'demonstrators' to ask for help. I was a demonstrator for first year Java students at my University last year, and spent the majority of my time sitting there wa... |
