Yet another indie mmorpg
|
This is yet another indie MMORPG. We are inspired by Ethernal Lands.
Our team includes 2 programmers, including me, and 1 artist assigned to 3D models and textures.
The total time we spent in development is about 3 months. We are using Blender... |

Rendering meshes efficiently
|
Your scheme will bring you to what you want, i.e. sorting by object/texture/vb.
I would say, this will work okay for __relatively__ small scenes (I don't mean realy small), if your objects will get properly culled.
Unfortunately, it won't satisf... |

bitstreams and bit packing fun
|
I'm wondering why don't you want to use byte-aligned structures, can be done with #pragma pack(...).
i.e.
#pragma pack(1)
typedef struct {
int ...
uint ...
uchar ...
} t_somestruct;
#prama pack(your preferred alignment)
Late... |

Chess Server

(2)
Use tcp/ip as it guarantees correct packet transmission and ordering.
Make a class that will serve as a connection router. I.e. it will be in the main thread and will listen to a given socket on a given port. Anytime it sees a connection... |

Server design
|
It depends on what game you are creating. If you are wondering how collisions are done, then go take a look at WoW and/or Lineage2. Characters even don't get checked for collisions between themselves. May be I'm wrong, but as it seems to me, bot... |

adding a physics engine...
|
Okay, I probably jumped too far from a beginner's experience.
IGameObject is an abstract interface for all game objects. It must have enough members to satisfy the Game module (you call it Main).
At least, you can determine what your game ne... |

adding a physics engine...
|
I believe you should separate your physics engine from your rendering engine.
I would then think of a pong ball like it contains from following entities:
1. Renderable entity
2. Physic part entity
When going farther to game logic... |

render state system
|
I had to reinvent the weil with this. My renderer does not depend on scene graph or anything else that can serve in the same manner.
Every entity has its 32 bit wide (it can be 64) number:
0-11 bits = Material ID
12-22 bits = Rende... |

3D Terrain Engine
|
Hello. Try to read this paper: http://www.drizzle.com/~scottb/gdc/
Of course, you wouldn't be able to implement it at best, but you'll get a grasp on your problems anyways.
