What are you working on? v16 - Developers

Finished scrolling in JAGMARLG menus, that was hell.

[QUOTE=Smashmaster;28442728]Alright. All suggestions taken into account, this is lighting a la facepunch. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/YT013.jpg[/img_thumb] Resolution is 16 luxels/tile. It runs fairly well in real-time.[/QUOTE] That looks much better.

[QUOTE=Smashmaster;28442374]It runs at 5 FPS, though. I'm going to optimize everything and make it only update the lighting when it detects that the world is changed, and only in places where it's been changed.[/QUOTE] With some optimization you should get a much higher framerates than that. Just look at this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s60AljUbpKY[/media] (not mine)

Does anyone know if you can use slimDX with C++? Or if there is anything equivalent to it?

Wait. Isn't the DirectX API built to be used with C/C++?

[QUOTE=Darwin226;28444532]Wait. Isn't the DirectX API built to be used with C/C++?[/QUOTE] I mean a wrapper for directX o make things easier

What would be the best way to programmatically copy a file (c++) from a location to another? fopen should be pretty slow, if I'm not mistaken, is there any other way? [editline]6th March 2011[/editline] Woop 2000 posts, now I just need to wait till June!

Xerios, that looks a lot like blue tiberium!

Can someone whip up a quick C# example of connection to the same computer through the internet using TcpClient and TcpListener and sending one byte over the stream to the client? I can't seem to make it work. It doesn't throw the "Remote machine actively refuses the connection" anymore but it just stops at Connect() on the client.

This is likely because you've got at least one firewall or router and it's closing ports that haven't been explicitly opened - try opening the ones you need or forward the port to your computer.

I'm going to create a simple game in Love2D to get a feel for it. I might fork off and customize it (so I can have more control over alpha blending).

[QUOTE=Darwin226;28446597]I have forwarded the correct port and I think it is working because as I said I used to get the "actively refused connection" error but now I don't.[/QUOTE] Oh, sorry, blame my poor reading. I'm not too sure then. Are you sure it doesn't get any further than connect? Sockets are usually blocking so it's understandable that it wouldn't do anything else but from my limited experience it's usually only blocking when you're doing loops waiting for clients to connect or data to read.

[IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/148374/depthfirst.png[/IMG] Got my depth-first algorithm working! Now i'm going to try and improve the UI a little, and maybe even implement another algorithm to solve it.

Now i'm going to try and improve the UI a little, and maybe even implement another algorithm to solve it.[/QUOTE] If you plan to only use depth-first, you can save the square from which each square was arrived at while you generate it and use that to solve it, assuming that where you started generating is the start or the end point.

-snip- nevermind, totally forgot how depth-first works.

Maybe there's harder stuff =/ [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] How are you handling memory alignment?

Took a long break from working on my little platformer game, but now when I sit down to get back to work on it I'm just disgusted by it lol. I feel like re-writing it all but then again, if I just keep re-writing all my projects I'll never finish anything. What should I do? :smith:

How do you download/checkout System.Data.SQLite? I have been looking on their site and can't find out how :(. [url]http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki[/url]

What would be a good way to learn C++?
