What are you working on? v19

I'm running in release. Debug mode is much much slower though.

[cpp]
void EntityManager::Tick()
{
double NewTime = double(CurTime.GetElapsedTime()) / 1000;
if (DrawSortRequired)
{
Entities.sort(EntityManager::CompareDrawOrder);
DrawSortRequired = false;
}
//Remove this eventually
if (InputHandler::IsKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Space))
{
CreateEntity("ent_test", pRender);
CreateEntity("ent_test", pRender);
}
GameGlobals::Instance()->CurTime = NewTime;
std::list<BaseEntity*>::iterator i;
if (LastThink + Delta < NewTime)
{
i = Entities.begin();
while (i != Entities.end())
{
BaseEntity *ent = *i;
if (ent->DeleteMe == true)
{
i = Entities.erase(i);
delete ent;
}
else
{
ent->Think();
i++;
}
}
double frameTime = NewTime - CurrentTime;
CurrentTime = NewTime;
GameGlobals::Instance()->FrameTime = frameTime;
LastThink = NewTime;
}
i = Entities.begin();
while (i != Entities.end())
{
BaseEntity *ent = *i;
ent->Draw();
pRender->Draw(EntityCount);
i++;
}
}
[/cpp]

Heres my main game loop, if you see anything obviously slow :)

[QUOTE=WeltEnSTurm;31673371]Is there some app to make screenshots like this, or do you stick the fragments together yourself?
Or, did you just Ctrl+Mousewheel? :v:[/QUOTE]

I couldn't zoom out far enough, so I photoshopped it together. There are probably apps for it though.

Major milestone. I've rewritten everything, and with my newfound knowledge of the stack, esp and ebp, managed to compile this piece of code:
[cpp]
int x;
int t(int c)
{
int b()
{
x = c;
}
b();
}
t(25);
[/cpp]
Into completely stand-alone assembly.

Also, I named the language "Charles".

I think I'm doing my perlin noise wrong. I'm attempting to get 1D terrain so I'm using
[cpp]
float PerlinNoise::GetNoise1D(float x)
{
int floorx = ((int)x);
float fractx = x - floorx;
float s,t;
s = Noise1D(floorx);
t = Noise1D(floorx + 1);

return Interpolate(s, t, fractx);
}
[/cpp]
to get 1D terrain via
[cpp]
for(int i = 0; i < 800; i++)
{
int y = (int)((perlin.GetNoise1D(i) * 300) + 300);
std::cout << perlin.GetNoise1D(i) << std::endl;
SetPixel(i, y, true);
}
[/cpp]
However, this just gives me a bunch of dots all over the place, when I want something like this:

I would avoid sorting by draw order every frame. Just sort whenever a new entity is created.
(If you want to optimize it even more, have something like an hashtable<int, vector<entity>>, and then draw in the order of the hashtable keys. Insert entities in the hashtable only on creation.)

I'm not used to c++ so I don't see any possible error. Have you tried profiling / commenting certain parts of the code to see what the bottleneck is?

Wow, does it even matter that much?

[Neo Kabuto]

I started off trying to get SFML working with CodeBlocks, and ended up making a pretty useless console application which uses its random functions.

If I had typed in "B" or "Basic" at the beginning (or any different capitalization, or just hit enter), it would have asked me for what die to roll and how many times.

I've got into linux and i'm really happy with how code::blocks works on it.

I even started on a voxel engine that will hopefully allow for a huge amount of editable voxels on screen.

All i have to show is a 32x32x32 cube rendered with GL_POINTS though. v:v:v

Because there totally should be.

I agree, I'll try to implement that functionality tomorrow. Chapter 2 is now [url=http://open.gl/?page=context]available[/url]. I'll read through it tomorrow and correct any mistakes I find and any pointed out by you.

Looks like a great chapter. I scanned it over and don't you have to put #define UNICODE before including the window.h so that it takes wide characters?

No, the character set is unicode by default.

Great read! To bad I can't compile. You will be writing the guide for Linux too right? :>
