Vertex texture fetch
|
Hi,
I was wondering what kind of experiences everyone has had with vertex texture fetch support on D3D. I've been using the tex2Dlod instruction for sampling in my vertex shader (pure HLSL/non-effect), but it keeps on returning 0. I'm tr... |

Vertex texture fetch & mipmaps
|
Hi,
I've been playing around with vertex texture fetch and I've been able to read all sorts of textures from my GLSL vertex shader (3d textures, cube maps, etc).. but I can't seem to read mipmap levels other than the base.
For e.g.
In my ve... |

Downsampling an FBO color buffer
|
Hi,
Using only non-GLSL OpenGL, whats the best way to downsample an FBO color buffer? I want to do a simple light bloom effect by combining several downsampled buffers.
So far, i've done it by using smaller viewports/textures to draw the... |

PBuffers and Multitexture
|
Is it possible to bind separate PBuffers to different texture units. Specifically, could you create PBuffers A, B, C, and D and then bind A to unit GL_TEXTURE0, B to unit GL_TEXTURE1, etc?
Thanks. |

Is glAcucum a generally supported feature by most OpenGL implementatio... |

Hello,
I'm wondering what would be a simple sound API I could use in my game. I'm looking for something simple enough where I can literally call loadSound(<sound.wav>) to load sounds and then call playSound(<sound>) to play the sound e... |

I'm going to try to make a game...... again
|
My recommendation is that you start off with a small game and aim to complete it within several months. Be honest with yourself about how much you can accomplish given your level of experience and resource.
If you ask me, I'd drop the grand idea o... |

OpenGL ES texture compression
|
On Android it depends on the specific handset you are running the game on. You would have to query for a particular compression extension to see if its supported.
To do this, call glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) and see if any of the compress... |

framebuffer completeness
|
You need to create a depth buffer (by creating a render buffer) and attach it to the FBO. Theres a pretty good tutorial of the basics here:

Saving/Loading Data

One approach that has worked well for me is to store all of your save data into a class or struct (that can contain nested classes/struct) and then serialize them to disk.
If your classes/structs contain many fields you can write generic serialize... |

Fastest way of drawing ARGB fonts?

Is your text going to be changing dynamically during runtime? If not, I recommend you create a static vertex buffer object full of quads (indexed if possible) at load time and use that to draw every frame. If your text will be dynamically changing th... |

What now?

It all depends on what your objectives are in the long run. Are you planning on applying to a game programming position, working on your own indie title (if so what platform), etc? |

Game Programming Language

There are probably tons of solutions out there depending on your needs, but if you're planning on writing native code and using OpenGL then your best bet is probably using c/c++ in conjunction with a cross-platform windowing library like SD... |
