Cat-nabbin' Zombies!

Hi all,
A friend of mine and I finished an iphone game not too long, and released it on the iPhone AppStore. It's called "Cat-Nabbin' Zombies", and the premise is simple: You're grandma, you have a bunch of cats, the zombie horde is after y... |

FMOD API Headers
|
Hi all,
Anyone happen to know how FMOD managed to create their API headers such that they have a series of externally facing class definitions with only public methods? No visible members, no use of virtual functions that I can tell, etc?

Need feature suggestions: GUI Authoring Tool and API
|
Hi All,
I'm in the process of building a GUI Tool and API for indies/hobbyists. So it's not just an API (literally a dime a dozen), but a full-blown authoring tool to go along with it. Purpose is to allow you guys to build and iterate upon a GUI... |

"If you do, you must undo"

Hi all,
I haven't posted here in a while, but I feel compelled to do so today. I have a coding rule that I abide by pretty strongly. Whenever I've been silly enough to ignore the rule it just ends up biting me squarely in the ass. Since I maint... |

[SOLVED] LUA: How to redirect "require" to load from packed file
|
Hi all,
I'm busy integrating a packed-file reader into my engine, where all my assets (models, textures, scripts, etc) are shoved inside of one large file. At load time, I pull data from this file instead of doing regular file I/O from the i... |

Flowing or moving colors on a texture?

Hi all,
I'm looking for some resources on manipulating a texture's pixel data to achieve that fancy "flowing color" effect you see in music visualizers. I've been googling "color flow" and "texture color move" and all that but am getting res... |

Lessons Learned: Engine, Tool and Game Development
|
Hi all,
So I just "finished" a game that I've been working on for the past couple of months (AI Tank Game, a la robocode and javabots and such). The game uses an engine that I've been working on since 2003-ish, with fancy editor, decent... |

Hi all,
After a couple months worth of part-time tinkering I've finally managed to slap together a half decent Tank AI game! This is similar to just about every other ai tank game out there: write an AI script for a tank to go duke it out with o... |

Artist Wanted : AI Tank Game

Brief description:
I am in the process of making an AI Tank game, where you indirectly control a tank by writing AI for it. Think RoboCode, JavaBots, and so on. You write AI code that will be applied to your tank: Tell it when to turn, when... |

C++: Vector3 velEmtr = new Vector3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0) compiles and runs, how?
|
Yeah, the explicit keyword would certainly be beneficial here =)
Seemingly little-known feature of C++ as well, haven't met many folks that know about it. |

Designing a GUI system, hints appreciated.

And how is this functionally any better in a RMGUI? Sure, the artists can add a button to an RMGUI in the GUI designer, but until the programmer writes a function for the button to call, it doesn't do anything.

I'm certainly curious to see how you separate logic/presentation using IMGUI :) To me the approach seems tightly woven together, in that you specify a button to be rendered and then action if that button is to be interacted with. So, per my underst... |

My concern with IMGUI, per my understanding of it, is that presentation and logic are very much tied together. That makes it difficult for an artist and programmer to work together on a UI, as the artist becomes entirely dependent on the p... |

I'm in the process of building a GUI authoring tool + API that I'm hoping addresses most of the UI headaches I, and most others, have encountered. If anyone is interested in giving it a go, please let me know, I'm looking for some critique =)

Not many people have. It's an obscure toy engine. It probably sucks, since it's being given away for free by the developer.

Among the big C's you mentioned (C, C++ and C#), I'd vote for none of them to start. Like so many have said before, grab Unity3D (the free version) and see what you can build in there. They have a scripting language that's pretty easy to understand... |
