How to determine objects LookAt vector
|
If I pass a 4x4 tranformation matrix for a model to a function, how can I extract which direction the object is facing. This is assuming the matrix has already had the desired transformation applied to it.
Overall, what I am trying to accomplish... |

Custom Mouse Cursor in OpenGL...

I am looking for a way to use a custom cursor with OpenGL and DirecInput via an image file. I am assuming I should just load the image to a texture and render it every frame. If this is the way to do it, how do I set a hotspot for the cursor? Any... |

Crayon Physics

Excellent job! Very fun and addicting.
My only complaint is the repetative music which almost drove me to shut down the app. That said, an all round great game! |

Using "delete" before "new"

But trying to use a null pointer is an error. From reading his initial post, he appears to be unaware of how to check a pointer for validity.
My point was that if he always sets the pointer to NULL and checks it's validity, there's shouldn't be a... |

The best way to ensure you won't end up with a read/write error is to always set a pointer to 0 or NULL. Any time a function is recieving a pointer, it should always check it's validity before using it:

I like the new layout, but the white is killing my eyes. I don't like the fact that I had to turn the brightness all the way down just to view a site.
I'd be interested to see how all this looks but with a dark Grey background.
I have to agree... |

Booty Duty -- Beta Release

I believe your free, potentialy-gold-striking game should be convenient for the end users to download. While your game looks nice, it doesn't look like anything we haven't seen before, which definitely means we won't go out of our way to acquire it.... |

What is important for game dev companies?
