Hey everyone,

Each function has one or more instructions
Each instruction can be set to a movement or a special ability depending on the robot type (not in the g... |

Hmm? The gameplay is nothing like that game... is it because there are walls, tiles and robots?
Not that I mind it being compared to other games, I just expected something more like Lightbot being mentioned :) |

How to do this collision response?

Drawing 2D tiled map of different textures

NVidia Drivers don't like DX???

Make sure the nVidia driver is signed, since sometimes they like to release non-logo drivers with better performance but are not necessarily D3D-conformant. They usually will say so on the download screen, Windows will also complained if it's u... |
