Qt Simple Tree Model Question Hi, I'm working on my own scene editor for my game engine using Qt. I have implemented a tree view with a custom model to represent my scene graph, and it works great, I'm able to add and delete nodes. However, the root node is not visible...

Physics on Tree Model Hi, I've written a short program that simulates a tree growing, it is based on one of Hugo Elias's tutorials (they are all amazing). http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_p_tree.htm I'm using a "tree" data structure to store...

How should I store Vertex data for a mesh. Hi All, Am am a bit confused as to how I should store the verticies for a mesh. Should I have an array of verticies that are shared by polygons, and have an array of polygons that say what verticies to connect, like what you get out from a model...

vehicles : relation between motor torque and maximum velocity ? I think its something like... F_resistance = K + W * v^2; Where F_resistance is the resistance force, K represents rolling resistance coefficient, W is the air resistance coefficient, and v is the velocity. Now, your top speed will be reach...

[C] Question - realloc I think you should use malloc the first time you allocate the memory. I'm guessing that it crashes because you pass realloc the uninitialized pointer array.data

Inheriting Rotation in Scene Nodes I have not tried this in 2D myself, but for each node you could store two transformation matrices, one for local transformation, and one for world transformation. Whenever a object moves or rotates, update its local matrix, calculate its...

Absolute Beginner: How to create multiple same objects and animate them? Hi, I dont think that that array setup would work. Have you learnt about structs yet, they might make it easier for you. You could represent a box like... typedef struct Box { float x, y; float speed; float angle; } Box; ...
