Reusable level components

Let me start this by saying; I hate redundancy.
When designing and building levels for games; I often find myself revisiting certain sections as the idea expands, and spend lots of time updating that idea in all the areas that it appeared. Thi... |

Hardware scaling

Hi,
I'm writing a couple of games that I want to keep a very retro feel - therefore I'm using a nice SVGA resolution of 320x240... however, on todays monitors this looks awful.
At the minute I'm setting up OpenGL to have a viewport of 640x... |

Water Shifter Alpha

Here's a little game that's been in development for a number of years now!
I started the first implementation back in 2002 for one of the Allegro Speed Hack competitions. Since then I've re-wrote numerous versions of the particle engine and t... |

C++ includes

Hey,
I know this probably isn't related too much to gaming but I was wondering how people lay out their include files, especially when using inheritance and lots of dependant classes.
I've been using my own methods that work for a long time, bu... |

Water Shifter Update
|
Heya peeps.
Did some further work on my water shifter game last night. Moved all the graphics over to OpenGL now - so it runs a lot smoother, and also re-wrote nearly 90% of the entire code - I'm also working towards making it feel more like... |

I've been working on the specs for a game for nearly a year and I've posted on here a number of times for help on getting it off of the ground (I've also been working on lots of other stuff - but I'll cover that another time).

Great way to get people interested in your game; Tell them its not finished, then tell them you're going to abadon in anyway... |

Moving object with buttons

One solution; Not entirely sure if its the best one...
Basically you have a "state" object that keeps a value of which direction you're going. You only have 1 mouse point so you can only click one button at a time so this val... |

Ideal language for 2D programming
|
I would say flash is a good start; I've done lots of work with SDL, SFML, Allegro, and many other libraries but they all require a bit of work to get going. You also have to consider setting up a build environment for C/C++.
If you don't mind AS3... |

Cool. Thank you.
I've not experimented with shaders yet.
Looks really simple.

C++ includes

Wow, lots of response.
For the past year, I've stuck with a simple "common.h" header that is included in each and every .cpp. The common.h defines the order of the other headers and ensures every time a class is defined it gets added in the corr... |

Water Shifter Alpha

zeeli, Yeh I noticed that myself. They seems to be lots of the basic ones around that don't have any real purpose.
Unfortunately, although the original version of this game (for speed hack) did have a purpose of sorts - it probably wasn't tha... |

Lol, CPS = Cycles per second... cups per second?? lol. Its actually that multiplied by 8 as the water simulations runs 8 times per frame (I just have the CPS counter on the outside of the sim routines).
Running without rendering, the system c... |

OpenGL Worms-style rendering

Would I be right in thinking that writing to alpha channels is a lot faster than updating the whole pixel? - I guess updating a single byte is better than 3 (although in the 32bit would, updating a long is prolly faster than a single byte... bleh,... |

OpenGL Worms-style rendering
|
The maps may be pretty huge, I was aiming for 2-3 screens of 640x480 and then 2 screens of 640x480 either side at the top to create a T-shape. (this may end up being 320x240 or somewhere in-between depending on the performance hit)
The game... |
