Hey guys. I'd like to proudly announce that our latest creation, a casual card/puzzler titled Didgery, has gone gold and is now available on Xbox Live Indie. Didgery was carefully crafted with an artistic vision in mind, and was created over the... |

Hey all, I’ve been working on a puzzle/card game for quite some time now. It is getting close to being finished, so I thought I would start a little bit of publicity amongst the ‘nerds’ before taking it hardcore with the ‘public’.
Premise:

What are multiple Vertex Streams used for?
|
What are the practical uses of using multiple vertex streams? Does it reduce bandwidth to the GPU or something else entirely? I just don’t really understand what they can be used for. |

A faster alpha-blended particle method?
|
I was reading on Christer Ericson’s blog that a performance increase may be had for heavy particle systems by rendering front to back with premultiplied alpha and using the stencil buffer to clip nearly solid pixels.
Blog in question
I’m a... |

Implementing a float based Radix Sort in C#
|
I’ve recently set myself on the task of creating a Radix Sort for use in XNA/C#. So far it has been a pretty pleasant and rewarding venture, but I’ve finally hit a snag. I can’t figure out how to correctly sort floating point values in C#. I’ve... |

[XNA] Creating multiple textures from the same File
|
Kunos is right, the performance of your solution is very poor. Using GetData and SetData are very slow operations (I hope this isn't running every frame?)
Are you drawing your game as 2D or 3D? If you are drawing as 2D than you could just use the... |

What are multiple Vertex Streams used for?
|
Thanks marcjulian, your description made the concept 'click' in my head.
So basically, one of their uses could be to reduce duplicate data sent per vertex, by splitting the data into two or more streams? |

Thanks guys!
I've seen it around several times and always wondered what sort of benefit or purpose it had.
Now I need to go dig into instancing :D |

A faster alpha-blended particle method?
|
Yeah, I'm doing the premul equation at the end of my pixel shader (finalColor.rgb *= finalColor.a). Is that a bad idea?
Thanks MJP, changing the state from Less to Greater got it working, but I got no speed boost :(
I'm sure I'm fillrate limit... |

Thank you for the reply MJP. I did what you suggested, but for some reason nothing is rendering. Here are my states (XNA):
RenderState rs = Game.GraphicsDevice.RenderState;
rs.PointSpriteEnable = true;
rs.AlphaBlend... |

Implementing a float based Radix Sort in C#
|
Thanks Nypyren, using an unsafe code block got the radix working. I tried using the BitConverter as well, and, while it does function, it’s a bit too much on the slow side compared to pointers to really use. Thanks for the help guys. |
