The Legend of Roto Hello everyone, This is a project put together by myself and two other students for a class at Full Sail. We were basically given a week to fully design a game, and six weeks to create editors (we created an animation editor, particle editor,...

Display List Trouble I’m rendering approximately 56000 vertices (114240 triangles) per frame by calling multiple smaller display lists (broken into 2000 triangles each). I’m running an Athlon XP 1700+ with a GeForce 4 Ti 4400, and I know I should be gettin...

Why do I hate programming so much... Quote:Original post by lmelior Sounds like you're burned out, in which case you need to go away. Not just away from Gamedev, I mean, I'm talking away from your computer and out the door. Go hiking, exploring, or travel if you can. Don't look at t...

mesh construction algorithms (sphere indices) [SOLVED.. mostly] Check out subdivision surfaces. Often is it easier to build an efficient sphere by starting from a cube or other such shape, and dividing it repeatedly until you have a sphere.

In game gambling. I have no idea what you're talking about, and I am not a lawyer, but as long as your game currency doesn't equate to real world goods, you should be okay.

SceneGraph & Camera confusion Just to play devil's advocate for a sec, what do you do if you have multiple cameras in a scene? I'm not saying that the scene-graph is completely useless, but you may want to take a look at this article by Mr. Forsyth on the topic.

retail game model formats Frob speaks truth. Also, as the others have said, you will find that more times than not "the pros" use custom formats, suited to their engine. Internally, they may save their art in various formats just so that it's easier for the artists to manipul...

I can has relocation? Quote:Original post by Hinch That was a while back though, the situation could be quite different now. It's worth asking though - they might offer to pay a small part of your costs, which is better than nothing. If they're serious about employing...

securing BMP files As was mentioned before, simply compressing the data will keep most basic users and script kiddies from touching the content. Unfortunately, as was also mentioned, if the data is on a client's machine, you might as well consider it open for grab...
