Any suggestions for books/tutorials/guides on OpenGL ?

If you want to learn the non-deprecated stuff then the newest OpenGL Superbible is pretty much the only way to go

Wouldn't it be better in a square?

If you ever realise it, call it Fudge Packer

[QUOTE=Xera;28437250]What? No. How is it any worse than reading a book, having someone tutor you or reading documentation? (It's not)[/QUOTE]

A book you can read at your own pace and will rarely skip over something.
Someone tutoring you one-to-one means you can ask questions.

A video can move too fast or too slow, will probably skip "unimportant" stuff and you can't really ask questions about things you don't understand.

Documentation's different since it's not really a tutorial.

This guy isn't a tutor nor is he a book, he's showing you how to do something his way or the highway.

This guy generally explains everything he does and why he does it. He's got some 80 Java tutorials about 5 - 10 minutes each.

[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;28437466]Making my own memory manager, so far it beats the shit out of the standard malloc/free stuff.

It allocates a big chunk of memory when it is created, and then hands out smaller bits from that, keeping track of free/locked memory blocks as it goes.[/QUOTE]

I did something like that a while ago and my code looks horrendous.

[cpp]
memcpy(alloc->ptr, (void*)((size_t)alloc->ptr + alloc->size), alloc->block->size - alloc->block->used);
for(std::list<allocation*>::iterator iter = alloc->block->allocations->begin();
iter != alloc->block->allocations->end(); ++iter) {
if((*iter)->ptr > alloc->ptr)
(*iter)->ptr = ((unsigned char*)(*iter)->ptr) - alloc->size;
}
[/cpp]

That's beautiful compared to mine :v:

[cpp]
void* Alloc( unsigned int Size) {
int Offset = 0;
Block* Current;
while( Offset < _Size ) {
Current = GetBlock( Offset );
if( !Current->Locked && Current->Size >= Size ) {
Block* Next = GetBlock( Offset + BLOCKSIZE + Size );
Next->Locked = false;
Next->Size = Current->Size - (BLOCKSIZE+Size);
Next->Previous = Current;
Next->ID = MEMBLOCKID;

Current->Size = Size;
Current->Locked = true;
Current->ID = MEMBLOCKID;
_Error = MEMORY_OK;
return (void*)((int)Current+BLOCKSIZE);
}
Offset += Current->Size + BLOCKSIZE;
}
_Error = MEMORY_NOTENOUGHMEMORY;
return NULL;
}

It scrolls and shit (at different rates too!) and the stars occasionally blink.

[killman]

Just remembered that I neede json output before I make the gui.
Oh, and it already has a name, PixelPacker.

It looks amazing, how are you achieving the fading shadows? What kind of alpha blending?

[Catdaemon]

[QUOTE=DevBug;28439384]It looks amazing, how are you achieving the fading shadows? What kind of alpha blending?[/QUOTE]

photoshop, actually :v: The ones in my game use several passes:
- For each and every light:
- - Switch to and clear temporary framebuffer
- - Draw the light and its shadows (shadows are shadeblend)
- - Draw the light framebuffer to the lightmap in lightblend mode
- Draw the light map
- Clear the light map

I can get the exact values for those blend modes from the source code if you want.

Straight from the source:

Case LIGHTBLEND
glEnable GL_BLEND
glBlendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE
glDisable GL_ALPHA_TEST
Case SHADEBLEND
glEnable GL_BLEND
glBlendFunc GL_DST_COLOR,GL_ZERO
glDisable GL_ALPHA_TEST

Also my posts just went from nearly 7000 to 700.

EDIT: They're cleaning out all the old posts and threads. I would be up to like 15000 if they never did that.

I went down to about 900 posts while cleaning but I got about 500 back some how

[esalaka]

I don't think I lost nearly any posts at all.

Maybe some hundreds

Guys, should I use shadows or not?
Without:

With:

(BTW: this is my platformer for the game programming competition. You play as that little blue ball thing and everything is physically simulated with Farseer Physics! Also, ignore the weird tiles, they select a random texture from the tileset for now... and also ignore the ugly FPS counter and the ugly shadow under the blue ball thing)

[CarlBooth]

With, definitely.

[Asgard]

With looks so much better.

[Dlaor-guy]

How about a darker background?
