Transoid Hey GameDev, Transoid is our recent attempt at developing for the iPhone. It is a classic Tower Defense game where the design twist is that units must be visible in order for your towers to shoot at them. The game uses a physics engine that allows...

Shader to Declaration I'm looking to convert the vertex shader inputs (HLSL) easily into a vertex declaration. At first I thought it would be easy since we declare the inputs similarly to the vertex declarations themselves: struct VS_INPUT { float4 Position : P...

Worms / Liero clone This game has been sitting on my HD for a while, thought it was time to do something with it. First off, this is a worms / liero (more towards liero) type clone with some extended features: - The 2D in 3D thing. - Destroyable terrain (some terrain...

To cut to the chase, here is what we are looking for specifically: - 2+ more programmers (One for AI, another for GUI, and possibly, anot...

Transoid I agree. I've gotten very similar comments along those lines. Without having played the game, the screen shots are very hard to make out. I was also contemplating releasing the game for free on windows, since it is cross platform and I figure it...

Wow, never realized qwerty was this annoying I use the dvorak keyboard layout. Here is a short list of some issues I've noticed while using it. Cons: * Managers at work don't like it when you leave the keyboard layout in dvorak. * Screws up the crtl-x, -c, -v, -z combo. This REALLY disa...

Shader to Declaration I was afraid of that. Oh well, I am leaning towards the parsing option myself [smile]. Thanks for your input.

Flipping a sprite 180 degree's Try these... It's a sprite rendering routine for D3D, but it should perform all of the operations you need: //***************************************************************************** // Builds a transformation matrix from the arguments. ...

Worms / Liero clone ACAC - response below jack's. Jack: Nope, no more secret passages. =) You also make a valid point with the rocket / plasma combo. I'll have to see what I can do to entice usage of other weapons, like the superweapons and such (and especially...

Worms / Liero clone Jack: (Kind of a lengthy response, sorry) - Terrain: Ya, the game actually has a lot of small details. Especially with terrain. You're right, there is A LOT of impenetrable terrain on openspaces (and the entire asteroid on asteroids is impenetrab...

-: Autumn Fog 2.1.0 Released :- I just got the chance to d/l it. Very cool. Cool stuff: - I really like how the AI stops and shoots at you if you are just parachuting in. Gives it a nice 'war' feel. - The ever so cool smoke effects (thanks again for clueing me in on how to do...

Worms / Liero clone graveyard filla: Thanks for the compliments. Multiplayer is hopefully coming soon =). neonoblivion: Hey, I'm glad that you like (maybe) my weapon editor . Most people just say it's WAY too complicated. Beware though, some features on the adva...

Program crashes in Release build only I also had a similar problem as you have (with maps) and blamed it on microsoft’s STL. As the case goes, however, everytime I think it is a microsoft problem, it ends up being something in my code. My problem with the map file was that I had t...

Shadows of Arborlon - Help Wanted While I’m a bit thrown off that you chose a MMORPG as your first project, your demeanour in handling the cliche MMORPG flames is commendable. This post is one of the more believable posts I’ve seen for a while on these forums,...
