Hey I hope you don't mind me copying every single aspect of your game without asking permission all the way down to the art style.

On top of working on Solace: Star Requiem with my FP C++ development team, I'm working with a close friend of mine on a fantasy history generator a la Dwarf Fortress, trying to get as indepth as possible. I actually contributed to this code-wise. My portion is rather clunky and unoptimized, but hey, it's my first time coding in a few years. I think I did well enough.

Here's the github. [url]http://github.com/h0rs3r4dish/Epic-Generator[/url]

Ok, I need help with something strange.
I've decided to try drawing text on a Bitmap using the .NET framework, then reading the pixels and drawing them with OpenGL. It worked without much trouble but only at about 70 FPS. I mean, it's fine since text isn't something that has to be refreshed so often but it's still slow.
So I figured that Bitmap.GetPixel() is slow and doing it 500x500 times per frame and decided to make a List<List<Color>> which will hold the colors and I'll only have to use GetPixel once on every pixel and after that, get them from the List (which was supposed to be faster).
Well, the framerate dropped to 1 third of what it was and now I'm confused. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Use an array, or better yet use pointers to access the bitmap.

[Darwin226]

Someone did a test recently and said that it almost doesn't make a difference. Probably only when writing.

[ThePuska]

[QUOTE=Darwin226;22299308]Someone did a test recently and said that it almost doesn't make a difference. Probably only when writing.[/QUOTE]

Pointers:
4 milliseconds to write 1000x1000 pixels
4 milliseconds to read 1000x1000 pixels

SetPixel:
695 milliseconds to write 1000x1000 pixels

GetPixel:
1828 milliseconds to read 1000x1000 pixels

[Darwin226]

Wow. Looking into pointers.

[andersonmat]

Java sucks for game development. :saddowns:

I think I'll be learning to use OpenGL in C++ later this week. :haw:

[Darwin226]

Yep, drawing text to bitmap, then ti screen is bad.
Unsafe code or not. I guess my only options are Glut for fast rendering or drawing to texture for more than 3 fonts...

I'm trying to make an "On touch" system for my game, so when a player gets to a certian point something happens. At the moment i'm trying to make it play a sound when the player steps on a certian tile, but it seems to be playing the sound no matter what, even if the player isn't on the tile.

Here is my "entPlaySound" class:

Public Class entPlaySound
    Public Shared soundPoint As PointF
    Public Shared soundName As String
    Public Shared allowPlay As Boolean = False
    Public Sub New(ByVal position As PointF, ByVal soundNameIn As String)
        soundPoint = position
        soundName = soundNameIn
        operate()
    End Sub

    Public Sub operate()
        'Check to see if the player has hit the sound point yet
        If Mushroom.player.Position = soundPoint Then
            allowPlay = True
            fireEnt()
        Else

        End If
    End Sub

    Public Sub fireEnt()
        If allowPlay = True Then
            Mushroom.gameSound.playSound(soundName)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

And here is the playSound sub (Called in the "Mushroom.gameSound.Playsound" line)

Public Sub playSound(ByVal soundName As String)
        amPlaying = True
        My.Computer.Audio.Play("sounds\" & soundName & ".wav")
    End Sub

Simple, I know, but I'm geting the sound play when the form is loaded, rather than when the player steps on a certian tile! Anyone got any idea why this could be?

I wish I could do shit with graphics :P. I played ME2 this weekend for the first time this weekend and it's like a fucking truck of goodness graphically and shiz. And it's not only the art, like the lighting is amazing, on people's clothes you can like see the light hitting individual threads, and you can even see blemishes on people's face and some of their stubble. It's insane, and to have managed to get that to play on nearly max on my modest hardware is amazing. I think I'm going to be fucking around with DirectX/OpenGL for a bit.

That's because you're not nearly using the potential of even the basics of C++.
It's great that you're trying to get experience with programming, but you should pick up a book or something about it. Stuff will become a lot easier if you just look what features C++ has to offer :)

^ What he said. This is true of every language, actually. In VB I used to Dimension loads of stupid things like "Item1" "Item2" etc, all as seperate items. Then I learnt about arrarys, so now I can just have "Dim item(9) As String" and be done with it.
