Android is more important to me, because I don't have any iOS device to test on, and I don't really like apple either :P (could you blame a flash developer for that?) What is a good game framework for developing android games? Multi-platform is always a huge bonu...
My professor gave my class an assignment today based on object oriented programming in Pygame. Basically he has said that the game that we are to create will be void of a main game loop. While I believe that it is possible to do this (and this question has stated that it is possible) I don't believe that this is required for adherence t...

Recently I've been getting into Minecraft, which is a 3D game made in Java. I've made a few 2D java games, without any external libraries or IDE's or anything. What I'm looking for, is just some libraries. Not anything with a GUI, just libraries. Rendering *.obj files would be nice, antialiasing not a requirement. ...
As a hobby, I'm developing a 2D game. I've got some basic collision detection implemented using a separating axis method. When two objects collide, I project one of them out of collision along the axis that has the least amount of overlap.

I always thought that for programming, a scary amount of complicated math would be involved (I only got as far as intermediate algebra in college because I'm bad with it). However, I just got my first job as a developer and have found there is not a ton of math above basic ar...

I start learn how to solve this problem with minimax algorithm, the algorithm clear. but I'm confused about the tree itself, in games like tic tac toe number of node not very huge, but on others like chess there are many nodes. i th...
