Basic Info: Programming Language - C++ Platform - Windows Audio Formats - wav and mid I recently finished a game and was fooling around with figuring out the best way to upload it to a file hosting site. I eventually decided on using 7zip's self-extracting feature. However, I think the mistake I made was that instead of just copying ...
Recently I've been craving some game programming. I primarily use Linux, and was wondering if there are any good graphics libraries for Java development on Linux? Google didn't turn up very much useful information on the subject. Also, would another language be better? I would like to avoid using python -- Ruby and Java are my two favor...

I have been working on some games in Silverlight. However, the community and portal support are still rudimentary at this point. While I expect it to improve over the next couple years, I don't plan to wait around for that. I'm coming from a .Net heavy development background. What would you suggest I read and practice to start develo...

I am currently developing a 3d game using C#/SlimDX (The target is Direct3D 9). I've been looking for a suitable Game UI toolkit for a while, but I was unable to make up my mind. The Game UI will be for a roleplaying game, so it'll be fairly complex and will involve quite a few controls (text boxes, inventory grids, list boxes, select b...

The browser window can be zoomed in / out The browser wi...

I am planning on developing a game (kind of management game where you play manager of company, hire employees etc.). I plan to have simple 2d graphics (possibly vector graphic). What language and framework would you suggest for this project? As you might see this kind of game would not require a "fast" language. Languages that I know an...

Hi Everyone, I am currently working on a nice little 2D game engine in AS3. You can even load in different flash movie clips through XML for the different animations. One of the features also allows you to flip an animation when you perform a certain action. That way you could have 1 animation for both left and right (as usual). I have t...
I'm thinking of developing a game-like piece of software. It will probably require a bit of OpenGL, MIDI input, and math. I'd like to eventually sell the software, so it needs to be installable on PCs with different OSes. And I don't want to have to spend a lot of time on memory management and other low-level details. My question is ...
I am currently writing an RTS for pygame and have written a number of modules on top of pygame for common things, such as efficient collision detection, a state system and more featured sprites. Now while writing games, except for Rect and Surface, I barely write any calls to Pygame itself. When Googling around on this, I have not fou...

I'm a hobbyist programmer with a fair grasp of Python and I'm currently learning C. Recently I was talking to a colleague who also wants to learn to program. In his case, he wants to learn C++ as a path to Windows game programming using DirectX. Personally, I feel diving straight into C++ as your first language is a bit much - it's hard ...
I've been programming in c++ for a bit now and Im very familiar with the syntax. I'm trying to use Allegro to make a card game. I understand everything I need to do for the game logic and what not. What puzzles me is how to drive the game. I'm sort of new to loop based applications. I got used to event based programming in VB .Net. I'm j...
