Extracting Xr Yr Zr from a matrix
|
I'm quite unfamiliar with matrices at the moment, and need help with something. I want to tell if a box is upside down, so I want to find out the Z rotational value, so if it is between a certain value, it has been flipped over.
How can I find a sin... |

SpaceFighter - Download available

I've now updated SpaceFighter to run on OpenGL, so should now run on DX9-less systems. It also reduces the install time drastically.
I've also added a different control scheme to make it easier to control with the joystick. You can revert... |

There have been a few responses about the installer.
It was compiled with Express 2005 SP1, so needs the VC++ runtime. It needs OpenAL for the sound, and also needs the DirectX9 d3dx_37.dll to run.
Because the DirectX download is quite hefty for mo... |

Simple C++ pointer problem

Thanks for your help everyone, it seems I need to learn the difference between pointers and references.

Wind engine images

Very impressive looking engine.
Are you doing any particular optimisations for moving the world at high speed?
Also, what sort of system specs are we looking at, and how scalable is the engine? |

Very impressive work! I bet it looks even better in motion.
Tree-wise, I believe Unreal produced a demo showing off a method of drawing trees very quicky by using billboarded leaf groups. Although the technology is probably costly, it may be worth... |

Extracting Xr Yr Zr from a matrix
|
Well, it seems to work, when it's upright I get close to 1 and when it's upside down I get close to -1. I think the orientation of my box is probably wrong, so I've got the Z axis pointing up, which would explain why X.y returns a value that you'd... |
