This is just amazing! I didn't know they are so smart, to use tools like that, I thought only some monkeys can do that. |

Buddhism

I find Buddhism quite intriguing. It's more of a philosophy rather than a religion, and it does not come in opposition with science in any way. It's hard to imagine attrocities and holy wars done in the name of Buddhism and many call it "the religion... |

questions about pixel shaders

I just recently focused my attention on shaders (in HLSL) and got a few questions.
How exactly do I instruct a sampler to use a specific texture stage?
What's with the sampler_state thing? I understand what it does, but I don't find it def... |

pencil and paper-like design tool

I'd like a tool to help creating logical structures, bubbles linked with arrows, sketches, help for vector analysis and other stuff specific to game programming design.
Of course, a classical way for this is to use pencil and paper, but it's not t... |

Vectors and Collision, something's wrong...

Hey I would need some help on a collision system I made which works like this:
1 - sum impulses in (D3DXVECTOR3)m_vImpulse
2 - reset m_vForce and then sum forces in it
3 - now build a temp position (vTemp = (m_vForce + m_vImpulse) * fDeltaT... |

C++ for game development?

Please be careful, especially in For Beginners, when stating your opinions as if they were facts.
That applies to you too, you know? Scaring beginners that C++ is a monster it's not a nice thing to do.

Is OOP better for developing games?

Please, dudes, please! This is not The Congress... I understand that each and everyone has his own theory about this, but the facts are facts! 99.99% games are made with OOP. Why is that? Maybe, just maybe, because it's better for making games? And t... |

I would simply say "NO". Just asking the question shows two things: you don't have [very] good grasp of game programming and you don't have a [very] good grasp on OOP (and for that matter OOD). This is not s... |

2d point in a projected bounding box

Handling a collection of short-lived objects

Well, whatever method you may chose, do NOT allocate and free objects per frame.
Since you say the only differences between those actors are just speed and collision method, my first thought would be to unify them in one single class (or... |
