Offering help with DirectX and C++
|
Greetings all,
I'm currently working independently on a software project that might be of use to people getting started with DirectX and C++. It originally started as a summer project to get my head back into game programming, but I decided... |

C++ programmer looking for people/project
|
Hey everyone,
I've been working on some generic game components in my spare time and figured I'd see if I could interest some people in building a game.
I have some ideas, as we all do, but my main goal is to meet some people and hear... |

DirectX File Formats and performance
|
As I recall, .x files store the animation data along side the model data, which may or may not be ideal for what you're trying to do. That might be the reason you've heard they weren't good for animations.
For example, if you wanted a bunch of di... |

The Do's & Don'ts of Game Programming

I *think* the original post was asking about game programming, not just Cplusplus, so in that regard I highly recommend this book..

How should I structure my engine (classes, etc.)?
|
The reply from _goat is a great post, worthy of reading over every time you're about to add another class to your engine. :) |

Request for Tutorials Evaluation
|
To make an aesthetic critique, the article seems to have strange paragraph structure. Some paragraphs leave a blank line between the next, while others simply skip to the next line. Maybe I'm anal, but I found that distracting. I do like the way y... |

Tetris Question
|
I'd recommend trying to stick with an object oriented approach. I made a tetris clone in a sort of "hack and slash/just get it done" method a few years ago and haven't once looked at the code since.
My point is that you're likely making it... |

Quick ID3DXSPRITE question..
|
The matrix provided to ID3DXSprite::SetTransform will affect the world transformation.
In a 2D system you could do something like this...
D3DXMATRIX matWorld, matScale, matRot, matTrans;
D3DXMatrixRotation( &matRot, fSpriteOrientationInRadians... |

Light reflects wrong way
|
I think you need to include D3DFVF_NORMAL as part of your flexible vertex format.
edit...
Dang, too slow...
You should probably assign a colour value as well. Or at least default it to something in the vertex constructor.

Problem in D3D textures plz help

Here's an example from the sdk documentation that uses a graphics stream to alter a vertex buffer. The Lock function of the Texture class is the same basic concept, hopefully this will get you going in the right direction.

Your moderator needs your help: How did *you* start learning Direct3D?
|
One of my college courses was focused on direct X, which is more or less is what got me started. We had no text book, as the instructor felt that there was no worthy textbook out there (a point I have more or less come to agree with), so our re... |

tetris vertex buffer
|
I'd recommend using a single 1 x 1 vertex buffer, and having each game object store its own texture(preferably reference to), width, height, location, and rotation.
Before you render each object, you'll need to do something like this.
