Double spaced text in GDS showcase description
|
This isn't a serious issue, and it probably only affect me. If you look at two of my GDS entries here and here in Firefox, you'll see that I use the <pre> tags to format my ASCII decorated descriptions.
The system inserts <br> t... |

EnemyBoss presents: Pong, Breakout, Space Invaders, Asteroids and Tetris clones.
|
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm new to game programming, but I do have
experience in in C/C++ and Java. In fact I've used OpenGL and SDL, but not to
make a game. I probably know more about game SDKs and graphics programming
than a newbie really sh... |

Blender buttons

Yup,
Just zoom into it like you would zoom in the 3D editor pane. For example, hold Ctrl, Alt and the left mouse button and move the mouse up and down. Try also using the scroll wheel if you have one. |

GD Showcase suggestion
|
Or maybe even a "showcase(s) of the day" section, updated daily on the GDS page?
But yes, I see how the system could encourage frivolous updates just to get on the top of the list. Sometime ago, I just corrected the genre of Enemy Aste... |

Best type of game to start with
|
Pong. It will get you familiar with your chosen language and toolkit. It won't take too much time to make. |

Mixing Java 2D and OpenGL
|
I haven't used it myself, but it appears JOGL lets you combine AWT/Swing with OpenGL rendering. For example, you can have an OpenGL viewport inside an AWT/Swing component. I don't think you can do this with LWJGL. I'm not 100% sure if any of this h... |

Breakout Collisions
|
Here's a nice way of doing it:
int left = brick->x;
int top = brick->y;
int right = left + BRICK_WIDTH;
int bottom = top + BRICK_HEIGHT;
/*
* Which side of the brick we are bouncing off? First, we determine the
* horiz.... |

My Tetris Clone
|
Nice work! I can see you put a lot of work into it. Presentation is sharp; your photoshop skills are very good. Its one the nicest looking tetris clones I've seen on GDNet. I didn't put half the effort into my tetris clone, but our platfor... |

Thanks. I just remembered, there is also SDL_net. Its an easy to use, cross platform socket wrapper library for making and managing TCP connections. It was designed for implementing most network related features used in games. I doesn't actually de... |

Completed Pong clone - please test
|
I wouldn't worry too much about the bugs (there's quite a number) in this game. Is this your first game? Pong is the first step in game programming, but not one I would care to do perfectly. I think you now know enough about C programming and SD... |

Online high scores

Do you really need one though? HTTP is a very simple protocol. Especially if you're just using GET to post your scores. You should be able to get by using Berkley sockets. Infact, if you are just using GET, and you're on the Windows platfo... |

Yup, a number or a secure identifier scheme exclusive to the build release. Thats what I and I think markr mean by official binary builds. The client can still be open-source, but unofficial builds can't post high scores on the official server.... |
