Is there any practical way to get objects to work with maps? (I don't really know much about maps so sorry if this is a bad question). I'm interested in using a map for an inventory system that will contain item objects. An item object has a name, description, and money value. The key would be the item's name, and the linking variable wo...
Hi all... Im using Chipmunk with Cocos2d to make a gravity based puzzle game, however I have reached a part of my project whereby I need a sprite that once drawn does not move and cannot be moved by the other sprites within the environment. In essence... Can I create a static (non moving) sprite that is not affected by in game gravity...
I want to build a strategy game using C and Lua. C++ is also an option. I would like to create an environment where a player can move around. In the same environment, other actors (programmed in Lua) should be able to move around. Their Lua code should control how they move. It sounds simple enough, but I wonder what would be a good de...

Should I use a game engine or a graphics library? I was just thinking of making a simple game to start out with, but what about when you get to higher-end stuff and high poly models? Which would be faster? Also, should I choose Xith3D or JMonkeyEngine? Or if I were to go with a graphics library should I go with JOGL, LWJGL, or the new J...
In a recent discussion with a group of like minded software developers, we realized that, amongst other things, we all shared a similar depth of knowledge when it comes to video-games - both in terms of judging quality, and in terms of awareness of the landscape. While we may not agree on our own personal favorites, we were incredibly co...
I'm writing a game in Java, LJGWL (OpenGL). I'm using a library that handles a lot of messy details for me, but need to find a lot faster way to do this. Basically I want to set every pixel on the screen to say a random color as fast a possible. The "random colors" is just an Array [][] that gets updated every 2-3 seconds. I've trie...

Everything about this code seems to work perfectly, except the tests for diagonal wins. The tests for vertical and horizontal wins seem to be exactly the same concept, and they work perfectly.
