For those who are interested, I've just put up some new beginner tutorials on my website about setting up Eclipse with MinGW and SDL, and the basics of writing an SDL program. I'm also looking for any ideas or suggestions for new tutorials to wr... |

Real-world game UMLs
|
I would be very interested to see a UML (class diagram) of a finished or partially-finished game project. Does anyone have one they wouldn't mind sharing or know of a source of one for study? |

Skype and VoIP

Ive just started using Skype after meaning to for ages, and I have to say I'm impressed with the system, but as usual with this kind of thing, it's usefulness grows with it's userbase. Do you think VoIP will ever become popular enough to be used excl... |

I currently have some free time in which I'd like to write some tutorials for my website, but I'd like them to be relevant to what people want to know about and/or have had trouble finding out about in the past.

c++ references

Does anyone know of a really good article on c++ references (as in the disguised pointer things) - i still dont quite get when to use them and when not to. At the moment I use pointers all the time (being a C person originally), which works fine... |

OOP design - where to fit a resource manager (big pic inside)

I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I figured I'm new to OOP so it's beginnery. Below is a UML-type-thing of the structure of my platformer engine so far. My current problem is that I don't know where to fit the graphic_manager obje... |

struct s_header {
short width, height;
} header;
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int x,y;
char c;

assigning a variable segfaults :/
|
My problem (cleverly combined with source):
//The offending function
void Game::run() {
_running=true; //this segfaults when run on its own
while (_running) { //as does this
sdl_event_handler(); //but this is fine
}

hash_map
|
Is this part of the STL? It's in some guides but not in others and I don't seem to have an implementation of it (in GNU C++). It sounds useful for the script parser I'm writing as I don't need the sorting capabilities of a map and performance is nece... |

Any Cambridge uni students here?

What do you think? Is it worth the extended application process? I'm thinking about applying to do combined Maths and CS there. |

multiple class types (inherited) in a linked list?
|
Or perhaps more usefully (a messy example but you get the idea)
class Inventory {
public:
std::list<Item *> items;
~Inventory() {
for (std::list<Item *>::iterator i=items.begin();i!=items.end();i++) {
delete (*i);

That's a fair point actually, must've slipped my mind when I was writing them. I'll be sure to add some comments tonight. |

Overcoming 'Sterility'

One technique i like to use incorporating synths with ambient-style tracks is to set up 2 mics (for stereo effect) at the opposite side of the room to the computer, then record the synth tracks playing from the computer speakers through the mics... |

How to use inverse of sin?
|
just as a point of interest, the a in asin and acos etc stands for "arc" as in the alternate names for the inverse trigonometrical functions. arcsin and arccos are less common names but they remove the amibiguity between f^-1(x) and 1/f(x) |

Extracting the decimal
|
double number=35.049;
double decimal=number-(float)((int)number);
//decimal= 0.049
Would that work?
edit: just looked up the modf function as described above and it seems like a better solution. |

Random numbers

#include <cstdlib>
int randomNumber(int min, int max) {
return rand() % (max-min+1) + min;
}
The % operator gives you the remainder from an integer divide, and rand() gives you a random number from 0 to RAND_MAX. By combining th... |

Where to start with graphics (Windows)?

OpenGL is cross-platform, which gives it a big advantage over DirectX IMO.
SDL is a fairly low level abstraction of video hardware under almost any OS, and is a good choice for 2d graphical apps. However, it lacks several basic functions like text a... |
