[QUOTE=ZenX2;28065028]I'm planning on working on an FPS with some other people, what 3D engine do you guys recommend?[/QUOTE]

Since you don't have $750,000 to use Source or Unreal with a license to sell on console or such, try Unity. Free for computer, $400 for iOS, $2000 something for Xbox, Ps3, etc.

Placeholder monsters. They spawn at random tiles (assuming they're floor tiles) and are only visible if they're inside your FOV. They aren't solid and don't move or attack yet, though.

Uh, why not the Unreal Engine 3? Read the UDK licensing ;-)

It's also free to make a game yourself. Remember when people used to make games instead of buying other peoples work?

[ThePuska]

[QUOTE=TheBoff;28144246]Actually, drag is proportional to a constant dependent on the shape of the object (which is a bit sort of shit, I know: I think you have to calculate it numerically using a computer), the area of the shape which is facing into direction of travel (hence fat people have more drag than thin people) and the square of the velocity.[/QUOTE]

It's directly proportional for low velocities (no turbulence), proportional to the square of the velocity for higher velocities and something completely different AFAIK when you approach the speed of sound

[QUOTE=layla;28146915]It's also free to make a game yourself. Remember when people used to make games instead of buying other peoples work?[/QUOTE]
Unreal Engine is hardly 'not making your own game'. It supplies you with a lot of shit you'd probably write the same way or worse anyway, and all the logic and features of the game are up to you, it doesn't hold your hand.

[Layla]

Sure, no doubt you can make a fun game, look at Monday Night Combat. But as a programmer, I think It takes away most of the fun.

Media'd due to 4.3MB file size
The image you saw had different 2 blurs applied
The first one still has one.[/QUOTE]

It looks a bit like dark denim now, which imo, is a lot better than the previous "paper-like" texture.

Oh and media tagged images are still downloaded even if the member does not click on the "View Image" box.

Geel gets rated dumb because it's geel, to be honest.

I never really got the whole geel hate thing anyway.

Occasionally geel overreacts, and says slightly stupid things

so everyone jumps on and rates him dumb.

[Loli]

What do you think to my App Idea?

You are given a random Movie, and from there you can rate it +1, -1 or 0 (if you haven't seen it) in effect getting a large list of films people actually like. From here you can ask the app to suggest you a movie and it will pick one from the top 100.

[ThePuska]

Construct the suggestion list based on what others that have liked what you have liked have liked.

[editline]19th February 2011[/editline]

If you just want the top rated films you can look up IMDB's stats or something. I think something that functions like StumbleUpon would work better.

Working on some shaders again.

Working on a water fog shader.
The water gets more murky the deeper it is and it gets less murky if you are closer to the surface.
[img]http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/9825/39521511.jpg[/img]

I also managed to transform the water shader into a plastic blow-up tent shader.
