c++ or c# is future trend of game programming?
|
Well, C# is a good language, but it requires another layer to execute the code, as it only gets compiled to MSIL, so then the virtual machine will compile that to machine code at runtime.
C++ is always compiled, and is much better for cross-p... |

#include <crtdbg.h>... |

Its common to separate the texture and geometry of a model from the logical existence of an entity/object.
So for example, you have two paddles called player1 and player2. In your case you might be using the s... |

Also, consider moving your translation code (pos += velocity) into a seperate Update() function or similar :)
Imagine the case where you'd want to render the same 'object' more than once.
