Google Chrome Extensions It's official. Google Chrome has me defecating brix, especially with the long-awaited arrival of extensions. It seems to me every product Google creates has some special quality to it that draws me in. What's there not to like about Google prod...

Proofreading and linguistics I was just wondering: is proofreading a feasible profession? I often find myself scrutinizing the often-overlooked nuances of English grammar, punctuation, and conventional style in whatever it is I may be reading, whether it be an entry in a...

Fun tactical shooters Lately, I've been having some unusual cravings for tactical shooter games, particularly ones that focus primarily on team tactics rather than spraying or heroism, and preferably ones with some sort of command chain system. Anyone know...

Collision detection and information I have a Game, which has a PlayState, which has Players, which have Turrets, which have TurretAttachments, which have Missiles. If I understand correctly, the Missiles should take care of their own movement, collision detection, and destruction, r...

TinyXML and the heap I wasn't sure whether to post this in General Programming or in Alternative Game Libraries, so I apologize beforehand in case this is the incorrect section. I'm having a bit of trouble with TinyXML, in that during its call to LoadFile, it calls th...

Inheritance, Composition, and Aggregation Hello. If I understand correctly, I can use inheritance to create new classes by deriving from super classes, allowing me to make use of polymorphism, and eventually creating a hierarchy of classes. I can use composition when I want to "compose" an c...

Circular menu Hi, I was wondering how you guys would approach this problem. Say I wanted to write a circular menu like so, assuming this menu had 6 items: Menu Item 5 [Menu Item 6] Menu Item 1 And when I press the right arrow: Menu Item 6 [Menu It...

[SOLVED] Assigning Iterator to Iterator I'm getting a debug assertion "vector iterators incompatible" so I traced it down. I discovered that when I step over in this line activeItem = menuItems.begin(); // where activeItem is a vector iterator and a member variable of Menu and menuItem...

Two Instances of a Class I have a Player class, representing a paddle for a Pong clone. This class has an Update(float dt) function, which updates its position, size, and other attributes. However, since there will only ever be two paddles, how do I go about writing thi...

Say, where's good to visit in the USA? I'm quite biased here, but you have to check out San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego in California.

The joy of being managed & immunized... Quote:Original post by Toolmaker 3 years ago when they had to remove 4 premolars and 1 wisdom tooth I got EIGHT injections stabbed into my mouth, gum and palate. Getting 4 shots in your arm is nothing. All in one sitting? Damn.

Craziest/most far out book you ever read? Twilight. Okay, so I've never read it, but I've read some lines in it, and I must say I am appalled.

designing a two player game Quote:Original post by nitesh I am not able to understand how to make both the players move simultaneously. Most electronic entities don't actually do something simultaneously. Your screen, for example, doesn't actually color all the pixels o...

How to get the length of enum in C++? IIRC, SFML uses: // Only works in certain circumstances. // Use at own peril. :) // Refer to Codeka's post. enum Foo { Bar, Foobar, Fubar, COUNT }; or something similar.
