multi-channel height map for multi level terrain.
|
I am looking to make terrain with caves and tunnels and possibly other similar situations.
I have an idea of using a complete texture using each channel to represent a level of a surface.

So i'm not so much talking about the gameplay aspects of a level as i am the construction aspects. the level is outdoor terrain. Do i start out with an enormous plane and reshape and build it up, adding props as i go? do i build it sections at a time... |

Workflow for Tesselation - Model to Shaders
|
How does one create a Model (character or whatever) to be tesselated?
Do you generate the LOD for the mesh and then the shader goes between the different LODs? how do the tesselation primitives play into this (ie patches).

Unable to release Device Context.

Anyone know why I would be unable to release my device context on shutdown?
I tried looking around for it but nobody gives any reason why ReleaseDC would return false, just that it does on failure.
EDIT: i get the error code: ERROR_DC... |

XInput in a non directX game?
|
Is it alright for me to use Xinput for a non directx game?
I'm guessing that it can pretty much stand alone from the rest of the api.
Is this also true for directinput?
do the two supplement each other or is xinput the latest?
i know x... |

Thoughts on Animators...

to get something to go to point xyz is simple enough, but I have an idea as to give more robust move sequences to an object without going crazy with bezier path traversal (at least not yet).

How to make a Game Engine?

People including the OP are way off topic here.
you want to make a game? then use an engine. Advice from someone who spent the last 2 years of his free time trying to roll his own? use something like Unity FIRST. www.unity3d.com.
There, you can... |

multi-channel height map for multi level terrain.

Interesting.
the reason for doing this is to have destructible terrain like the game Scorched Earth. If it was heightmapped based i could write shaders for rendering in explosions and such that leave craters. It is definitely non-trivial to do thi... |

Moving from DirectX to Java?

A new, C++-meant-for scripting language: IonScript

I'm surprised someone hasn't griped about "LUA" vs Lua lol.
Anyways, I think your C++ embed impl is interesting.
I like your examples, but have you challenged your language yet?
for example, an xml parser? an event system? what about opera... |
