Blame Box2D.

Seconded. It's so, so easy to make a game with.

What? It's a .NET equivalent of the C++ version as far as I know.

It's working great for me. A few minor issues like it throws random error messages when your program closes in debug mode, but since your players will never play in debug mode...

[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;28129312]I'm having a hard time to choosing what language/library to make a game with/in.
[list]
[*]LÖVE, Lua: Very nice & easy language and framework but no 3d nor drawing textured polygons;
[*]OpenTK, C#: Nice & easy language and framework but no TrueType text drawing;
[*]XNA, C#: Nice & easy language but clumsy polygon drawing and clumsy SpriteBatch bullshit;
[*]SFML, C++: Framework has everything I need but C++ is just too hard for me right now;
[*]Game Maker: Extremely easy but not a powerful framework and also laggy + Windows only;
[*]Processing: Easy language but it's very tough to make a complete game with it.

Any help here?[/QUOTE]

Yes, this! SFML.NET. Use the SVN version.

[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;28129467]I'm not sure but wasn't the SFML.NET binding a complete bunch of crap?[/QUOTE]

Oh I should refresh more. The SVN version (2.0) is great. The only problem, like mentionned before me, is it crashes when you close it in Visual Studio Debug mode, which isn't an issue at all. I just do something like this on close:

if (Debugger.IsAttached)
Application.Exit();

Can't agree more at the moment for C Sharp. It's very easy to use and you'll see productivity quickly.

Why are you creating a class inside a function? It isn't neccesary, just define the class externally. In createCharacter you will want to use a dictionary that works like so:

classes = {
    0:{"description":"Awesome", "age":0, "speed":100, "strength":4, "alignment":"evil}
}

Also make player derive from creature, so that you can add the fighting mechanic to creature for example and custom mechanics for player. You can then use the above dict to set they various variables in the player class.

It's a LÖVE-version of the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma#Iterated_prisoners_dilemma_experiments"]Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma.[/URL]

A number of strategies are put in a pool, and pitted against every other in the pool. Number of offspring is decided by the amount of points a strategy got the last round.

The number at the top is the generation, other numbers specify the number of offspring in that generation.

This was inspired by Richard Dawkin's book "The Selfish Gene", who was in turn inspired by Robert Axelrod's experiments.

Making a 'Ticket' class instead of 3 sets of duplicated variables would make you a programming king.

[neos300]

Nevermind about that, how would I work on collisions? I can already tell if a collision has happened, but how do I scale back on those collisions?

Thanks! Should I have my classes in a separate file, then?

(That's programming classes, not character classes)

wait what am I doing

I'm gonna go plan it out on paper then come back

[neos300]

Hey, if you are applying a force to a physics body, should you apply it once and let friction/gravity slow it down(should you have it degrade by .5 or so every frame?) or constantly add it to the velocity every frame?

I'm assuming you should just apply force for the actual duration of the application of said force and then let friction slow it down; Gravity should only add negative z (or y) movement.

[QUOTE=esalaka;28133578]I'm assuming you should just apply force for the actual duration of the application of said force and then let friction slow it down; Gravity should only add negative z (or y) movement.[/QUOTE]

But I don't really know how long I want the force to be, is it a good idea to keep applying it and then degrade it by .5 or so every frame? (AKA air resistance)

[ThePuska]

Air resistance is a [i]force[/i] that causes [i]acceleration[/i] that decreases an object's [i]velocity[/i] (relative to air).

[editline]19th February 2011[/editline]

Here's a simple particle struct:

public Vector position;
public Vector velocity;
public Vector acceleration;
public double mass;

public void Tick(double time)
{
    velocity += time * acceleration;
    position += time * velocity;
    acceleration.Zero();
}

public void ApplyForce(Vector force) // Useful for springs, air resistance, gravity, soft collisions...
{
    acceleration += force / mass;
}

public void ApplyAcceleration(Vector a) // Useful for gravity and optimizations
{
    acceleration += a;
}

public void ApplyImpulse(Vector i) // Possibly useful for particle-particle collisions
{
    velocity += i / mass;
}

[editline]19th February 2011[/editline]

Acceleration is zeroed every tick. You're supposed to stack forces for the particles during the tick: apply gravity, air resistance based on velocity, collision response forces + friction etc.

I found my glasses after a whole year of them missing.

I never knew what stuff looked like. Things are so clear, and sharp. I never would of thought things looked...

Yeah...fuck, my code looks like shit.

I am short sighted but have no glasses and my code looks shittier.

Why is layla rating me funny?

[Irtimid]

I think he means frame time.

It's to keep things happening at the same speed regardless of framerate.
