string::compare not working as expected

Hi Gamedev,
I'm currently writing a little multi-platform game using C++ and I've encountered a problem with parsing the text file that contains the level data.
std::string collidableType;
std::getline( input, collidableType ); // Input is a... |

Win32- toggling multiple controls?
|
I'm having real problems with this one, the information available on Google is really confusing and incomplete.
Basically what I want is a bunch of controls grouped together under a panels, with several of these panels. I want to be able... |

Putting formatted data into / reading it back out of a stream [C++]
|
In my game I'm going to have levels stored (at least initially) in ASCII files, and read them in using an input stream in order to easily extract the tokens as floats, ints, etc. For instance, I open an input stream and pass it to the level loader. I... |

Spring Damping
|
Hi
I'm having some trouble understanding spring damping, in particular, this document. Can anyone help explain where the second part of that equation comes from? I (think) understand the first part (before the + sign,) is Hooke's law, Fs=-kx (wher... |

There's a HD youtube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGeCrrMkOB8
This is a game developed over the course of 9 weeks by myself (a programmer) and a bunch of others (programmers and artists) for a university project. There's no shadows in t... |

HLSL performance slower than FFP for simple task
|
Alrighty, all I want to do is to draw a textured scene with the pixels drawn using a shader. I have both approaches- the usual D3D fixed function way, and a pixel shader that is as follows:
sampler2D diffuseSampler = sampler_state
{

Higher contrast in the depth buffer? [DX9]

Edit: This was previously called Replacing depth stencil surface with a texture, then using that texture but I changed the subject :)
I'm writing a program where I need to store the depth of each pixel. At the moment I'm using a pixel shader to wr... |

Its not particularly sophisticated, there's only two enemy types but I cant really be bothered to improve it any further, you guys probably know the feeling >_<
Thanks for looking :)

Shadow maps without shaders
|
Hello
Is there a way to render a scene with shadow maps without using shaders? I have my scene being rendered to a depth texture (texture created with D3DUSAGE_DEPTHSTENCIL), but I'm unsure how to actually do the comparison between the z-value of... |

more collision detection woes
|
Hi
I currently have a collision system written in Java whereby if 2 shapes are found to intersect, they are moved apart along shortest distance possible.
For example, box A moves towards box B at 0.1 unit per frame. When they collide they will... |

string::compare not working as expected

Thanks guys, it was a carriage return '\r' that needed removing. I'm not sure why this makes the comparison equal to one though.
Anyhow, my solution (incase anyone else has this problem) was simply to remove any carriage returns from the stri... |

The Depth

I found that quite interesting, thanks. I know what you mean about Objective C, it never really clicked with me. I'm developing my iPhone game with C++ in Visual Studio, wrapped up nicely so I can easily reboot in OSX, put it in XCode and port it to... |

Higher contrast in the depth buffer? [DX9]

Cheers, that's a bit of a pain but not too bad.
Now my problem is the resolution of my depth texture. Only things really close to the camera are producing enough contrast to be visible. Am I correct in understanding that this is because depth... |

Thanks guys :)
Ezbez: That's odd, I've seen that kind of behavior once before when I tested it using a netbook. I was unable to repeat it though, all subsequent visits it ran fine. Not sure what's wrong really.
Has anyone else tried it? |

more collision detection woes

I don't think that would work, since its not only the normal but also the distance that needs to be taken into account. The object would still end up partially inside the wall(s). Thanks for the suggestion though :) I will test it when I get hom... |

Thanks++, I think I located the problem. As far as I can tell it was because I was not rounding properly when drawing.
Now I have a new problem. When my object collides with two surfaces that are not perpendicular (ie. goes into a corner) the obje... |

GDNet show and tell: a blog and a band

I don't read blogs but I thought I'd mention Machinae Supremacy as a band, since a) it sounds like 80s videogame music (blended with metal) and b) there's loads of tracks available for free on their website. The vocals take some getting used to... |

self-induced fainting/blacking out. Whole life flash before your eyes.

This was a craze when I was at school (a few years back,) until some girl got into the local newspaper after it killed her. So I'd say its not a great idea. Sorry >_< |

Cheers everyone! I got it working using the guide Promit wrote (nice one!)
I have heard that the best results are using an amp and a good mic, but I'm only starting out so that's not really necessary yet. Plus having all the wacky effect... |
