|
After an extended break thanks to final exams/coursework/dissertation, I've got back to finishing off my remake of the Amiga classic Bugbomber. Those of you who've played it know it's not "just another bomberman clone", it was one of the best mu... |

Bit Riot, a remake of Bugbomber
|
Hi everyone,
This is my first ever game and C++ application (other than a very simple Tetris clone) that I've made primarily to be the first part of my portfolio when looking for a game programming job, hopefully :)
It's a remake of the Amiga/C... |

Flickering texture when moving sprite
|
Are you using a backbuffer to render to first, or are you rendering directly to the pirmary display surface? This will cause the flicker you've described as the image is drawn to the screen...

The "->" expression was introduced precisely as a shorthand notation for (*pX).x(). Introduced only for syntactic sugar, most people will therefore prefer the latter. |

game board creation question
|
A quick and dirty method to avoid the "piece of doom" where no random piece will fit, is to only reattempt to choose a piece x number of times, and if you reach this limit without a match being found, chuck the whole board away and generate a ne... |

For 3D models, how about turbosquid?
You might struggle with just looking for .x though, you should look into writing or using a 3d model format parser... |
