Hello! At first: I'm not sure if it's an adequate question for Stack Overflow. It's not just about programming, it's about game design. But I'll try it ...

Hey everyone, Update: I'm sorry if maybe my question isn't clear enough. I've read about the command pattern, but unfortunately have not used it myself. I'm trying to figure out how I could use it (or some other pattern) to make game events abstract enough that the server can process them using a single Process() method. My main hang up...

Is there a better way to do go about this where the clients communicate with each other and not through a mediary? ...
I'm coming from a background mostly developing websites, and maybe some simple form-based apps. MVC works well for that, but I don't quite see how that's applicable to a game. So how do you guys do it? I'm developing with Qt and OpenGL, if that's relevant. I have a QGLWidget which I'm basically using as a central hub at the moment. Shou...
I have a camera object that I have put together from reading on the net that handles moving forward and backward, strafe left and right and even look around with the mouse. But when I move in any direction plus try to look around it jumps all over the place, but when I don't move and look around its fine. I'm hoping someone can help me ...

Finding a suitable question title and -tags for this question struck me rather hard. Basically I've built a game wherein several units/mobs will be present. Now I'm interested in building a system, so each unit can have effects/buffs/debuffs applied to them that will modify the properties of the unit. Examples of such effects could be a...

Hi, I want to make a 2D tiled background system on the iPhone. Something that takes a tilemap and tileset image(s) and converts it into the full map on the screen. Just doing some messing around, my first approach was to create a polygon for each tile. This worked fine until I started testing it for 400 polygons or so, then it starte...

I'm working on a 2D game that has a huge amount of dynamic entities. For fun's sake, let's call them soldiers, and let's say there are 50000 of them (which I just randomly thought up, it might be much more or much less :)). All these soldiers are moving every frame according to rules - think boids / flocking / steering behaviour. For ea...
I'm using Löve2D for writing a small game. Löve2D is an open source game engine for Lua. The problem I'm encountering is that some antialias filter is automatically applied to your sprites when you draw it at non-integer positions. love.graphics.draw( sprite, x, y ) So when x or y is not round (for example, x=100.24), the sprite app...

Hello all. I am working on a top-down view 2d game at the moment and I am learning a ton about sprites and sprite handling. My question is how to handle a set of sprites that can be rotated in as many as 32 directions. At the moment a given object has its sprite sheet with all of the animations oriented with the object pointing at 0 deg...
I have around several hundreds of moving objects within screen at the given time, plus a thousand+ stationary objects. For simplicity, you can think of it as a billiard game with damn lots of balls :) Some of them are stayin still, some others are moving at all sorts of speeds to all sorts of different directions. I need coll detection e...
