16-bit to 8-bit PNG Heightmap I've never really been big on image manipulation, or really anything to do with graphics, so I was wondering how I would go about turning a 16-bit greyscale heightmap (PNG) into 8-bit, and what would be the effects of doing so?

[PHP] Creating a game I'm not sure I agree with that, pretty much any language that outputs something can mix with game programming, although its restricted to specific types of games. Generally PHP person-vs-person type games are turn based or a race of who can reload th...

[PHP] Creating a game Or better yet read the manual! The manual includes function reference, function examples, and user comments. The examples in the manual alone should get you familiar enough with PHP. The manual provides a long and content filled learning experienc...

[PHP] Creating a game If you don't know PHP syntax you can start by learning it - other than that its pretty straight forward, PHP Games are just PHP Scripts/Applications... like anything else, no magic tricks, nothing different than a regular script. If you knew PHP (and...

Types of Game Designers? I think what I'm trying to say is that its not brain surgery, and I'm not paticularly impressed with general level designers, if they can recreate scenes, playable in a game (to a certin extent), then I'm impressed (one that really impressed me was t...

Types of Game Designers? I'll admit that I was wrong - especially after reading the article on http://www.sloperama.com, but I wont admit that I was completely wrong. I don't really see whats so special about level designers, I can still make just as great a level as...
