Plus, most of the complicated stuff only looks intimidating when it's actally much easier. You still need to be experianced though.

I apparently can't function without Wikipedia. I should probably download an offline copy in preparation for the zombie apocalypse.

Or, rather, so I'm prepared the next time Congress decides to do something stupid.

you know those stupid type racer games online? I played it once and thought, hm why not use a Java Robot? I had a little bit of time so this looks ugly and is ugly but still it works (except for numbers and other random stuff)

just got a 723 WPM in one of those games, phew, even javascript couldn't handle my typing speed *cough*

[Darwin226]

Would it be a good idea to implement a component system so that each component can only have it's own components?

That would for example allow me to have a Visible component that would be in charge of drawing the object to the screen and the Visible component would have a MouseInteraction component that would allow the user to click on it.

Getting LuaJIT up and running in C++, which was much easier than I had thought. I was testing it with the code from [url=http://lua-users.org/wiki/SimpleLuaApiExample]here[/url]. The only thing that I had to change was to include lua.hpp instead.

[QUOTE=Lord Ned;34269222]I'm going the same way.

FBX is bloated and requires the proprietary win-only SDK to load.

There's a couple things that irk me about SMDs.

I'm currently reading the triangles and looking at the ParentBoneID - it indicates which object it comes from. I'm then looking at the material to see which sub-mesh it belongs to. It's not exactly perfect, but it seems to work for now, though I'm still in the early stages of loading meshes.

Have all the data loaded (with duplicates, that's the other thing that irks me is building index buffers). Now I need to make a class to wrap it up and present a way to get it to the GPU.

With models, should each model-instance build it's own index/vertex buffers on the GPU on load and store them within itself, or what. I haven't quite figured that part out. :v:[/QUOTE]

Getting rid of the duplicates is pretty easy, here's a snippet of what you should do after every creation of triangles ( C# )

SmdVertex vertex = new SmdVertex();

// Add shit to the vertex from the current .SMD line

// The following code finds duplicates and uses them instead of re-adding them
node = [the node that the vertex belongs to];
bool foundMatch = false;
foreach (SmdVertex vert in node.vertices) {
    if ( vert.Position == vertex.Position && vert.Texture  == vertex.Texture && Vector3.Dot(vert.Normal, vertex.Normal)>-1){
        foundMatch=true;
        node.indices.Add(vert.id);
        break;
    }
}
if (!foundMatch) {
    vertex.id = node.verticesCount;
    node.vertices.Add(vertex);
    node.indices.Add(node.verticesCount);
    node.verticesCount++;
}

Hope it helps !

Oh, that's been fixed now. For a while it threw a NotImplemented exception. Sorry for the bother.

EDIT: Eh, wait, posted wrong. I meant, how do you set your PersonaName programatically?
EDITv2: Just checked, Friends.SetPersonaName still throws a NotImplemented exception.

Has anyone here ever used Slick for Java game development? I'm looking for an alternative to straight JOGL and this looks like a decent library.

Inb4 flood of people hating on Java and to you I say: I'm aware of its limitations, I'm aware of alternative languages, and I have my reasons for needing to use Java.

slick is very nice, it looks more or less like the native Graphics2D library and thus you can adapt very quickly. but as every immediate render engine it is slow when drawing a lot of things every loop. but it's enough for simple 2D games

[Socram]

Marquee selection! And individual pathing! This is fun, gotta love when things actually work out quickly the way you imagine they will on the first try rather than the 15th.

That's a 3d primitive.

[QUOTE=supersnail11;34278847]That's a 3d primitive.[/QUOTE]

Doesn't mean it can't be used in 2D as well. Just make the z of every vertex 0.
