Anti-Crunch Strategies
|
We recently tried something new in an attempt to lessen the blow of crunch time later. We did a "focus" week, where the idea is to lessen meetings and goof-off time and actually do 40 hours of work in a 40 hour week. I'm curious as to what other st... |

converting from vertex/face to half-edge structure
|
I currently have models in an x/y/z vertex table, and a vertex1/vertex2/vertex3 table. I need to convert it to a half-edge format. Does anyone know of any examples online for how to do this? |

Good Books

I got an Amazon.com gift card for Christmas, and I'm trying to find a book that will give me a good general idea on how to structure game programs. I'm not fantastic with OpenGL, but I'm good enough that I don't have to have a book with specifi... |

SlonerSoft Puzzle 1.2

Nothing really special about it, but I've decided to post it for y'all, anyway, since I made it, and it's fun. It's a Tetris clone, like any other. I originally wrote it with no textures--color only. I wrote a few structures/programs for maki... |

Inheritance Woes
|
I'm having a little trouble with inheritance. I haven't used it much in C++ before, so the arrangements are a little strange to me.
I've set up an Object class with two virtual functions, animate(int dt) and draw() as follows:

Resource Problem MSVC++
|
I'm trying to add an icon to my program, so I've added it in my .rc file. When I go to compile, however, it says "compiling resources" then moves on to the linking phase, and complains that "LNK1104: cannot open file "\Debug\resource.rec"

Hey folks, I'm a first-time poster here. I've been coming to this site and reading the articles and forums for months, but haven't posted until now.
For my website design class, I didn't want to do an average website, since that'd be way too easy... |

converting from vertex/face to half-edge structure
|
I went ahead and did it myself. Not terribly complicated, though I had one relatively simple bug jamming up the works for a while. If anyone wants to see the code, let me know. |

converting from vertex/face to half-edge structure
|
Hah, I actually read that article. What happened is, I made my own half-edge file format and used it to build a couple models for an assignment, but the teacher said I have to load from the SMF format and convert it to half-edge. I just wanted to f... |

Do i learn C or C++?
|
Most people learn C++ first, or Java *shudder.* For starters, however, it might be best to start learning on something like Visual Basic or maybe C#, and THEN try C or C++. C/C++ are much more low-level, and require a lot of learning before yo... |

Article: How to move and rotate things in 3D

I agree on the topic of the lack of theory. I worked with OpenGL for over a year before I actually got to hear about the concept behind the matrix theory of it. Only reason I did was because I took CS411 (Computer Graphics Programming). &... |

Eberly has also put out a book on engine design recently. Good read, goes into a decent amount of depth.
Yeah, that's actually the one I was looking most closely at. |

Those really are beautiful. Great work, the detail is impeccable. I really like the shields. They remind me of the armor/shield that Peter wore in Chronicles of Narnia. |

Game Maps in 3D RTS Games

You're kidding? It's really that easy?
It's surprising how little diffrence there is between 2D and 3D programming, when it really comes down to it. The principles are mostly the same, they just tend to add a few n... |

Vectors, need some help.

As it happens, two vectors uniquely describe an orientation, and three vectors describe it redundantly.
That was my thought too. The third vector is just the cross product of the other two.
