Atari Muscles in on iPhone
|
I have recently learned that Atari is apparently set to invade iPhone apps. In particular, all iPhone games with gameplay similar to breakout have been "kindly asked" to quietly "go away".
Looks like there goes the neighborhood..... |

I started a Bellevue/Redmond/Seattle GD Group

Sorry for spamming myself, but I have recently come to Bellevue WA, and I'm tired of not having anything to do except for work and church. So I created a GD Gathering Group today.
Here it is.
I also noticed that sadly there were no groups in t... |

Ive been doing a lot of work with BF lately, and so a couple of "interesting problems" occurred to me.
One, a BF interpreter usually has an 8 bit "data cell", but I can imagine implementations that has 16 bit chars (a UNICODE implementation, for i... |

Game designs of questionable ethics
|
You have stumbled into the realm of serious games.
Whether you want to explore this realm artistically, or whether you want to return to a more abstract less cerebral sort of game is up to you.
For example, if you change it to breeding differen... |

A single large tileset or Multiple tiny tileset?
|
This is a balancing act.
On the two extremes there are:
1) put every single tile into one gigantic image
2) put each tile into its own individual image
Option 1 works up until there are a certain number of tiles.
Option 2 also works &... |

I'm not telling you not to use tutorials. (And it doesn't sound to me like others are telling you not to use them, either.)
Tutorials show how things are done.
Tutorials do not show you how to do things.
A tutorial can tell you how a window... |

Game Programming Questions ...
|
Your question is too vague. We know nothing of what platform/api/etc you are using to do your rendering.
The answer is probably "some sort of timer", but without knowing more information, we cannot help. |

IG Maker? Anyone?

Okay:
1) I see that you have a mailinator.com address, which makes me less inclined to help you, since I half expect you to be a spammer or griefer as a result of this.
2) Generally speaking, game maker utilities are fairly narrowly focussed.... |

A question on design philosophy.

I second refactoring.
My fellow responders have covered most of the good stuff already.
I will simply add: the player of your game doesn't care what the code looks like.
Also, the ability to spot problems in the way you are structuring your... |

This is going to sound a little "zen" or something, so bear with me.
If you are at a stage of becoming a developer where you regard a lot of things as just those things to be "memorized", you are pretty early on.

Testing for any more possible moves?

Only loop through the board until a possible move is found. At that point, bail out of the detection function.
