My game uses a d = vt calculation for movement of objects where t is the time since the last frame (one frame per loop). I'm using SDL and the gist of the timing calculation is that I create an instance of a Timer class and start it. I call GetSeconds() when it's needed which returns the difference between when the timer was started an...

I want to create a game where the user can go to the right-most part of the screen, and if they go any further, they will slide into a new view. So basically, if they have 3 monsters chasing them on screen # 1, and they go all the way to the right and keep going, they'll enter screen # 2 where there will be 5 new monsters and a new ter...
I am reletively new to c++ programming can anyone please tell me how does Direct-X SDK is helpful and how does it works and how can we use it in game programming.I Downloaded it and I found lots of header files and documentation also tells something about game programming. ...
I just learned the basics of c++ and c#,just the simple basics of the language.And I want to pursue game programming can anyone please tell me where to start off I read somewhere that Direct-X is used for game programming and I downloaded it from Microsoft's website but I just didn't understood it.From where did you people started your g...
I want to make some simple 2d games/clones (for Mac), but I have a few questions: Should I use Quartz 2d or OpenGL (I don't plan to try 3d anytime soon) There seems to be a lot of typedef'd things like CGFloat/GLfloat, which should I use? Should I use Objective-C for the game too (classes) or just C? (I assume I'll use Objective-C and ...
Much like the author of Give me an assignment in C, I'm looking to learn game programming and I learn best by doing, but I don't have any good ideas for games to program which will teach me the skills and for whom the graphics are freely available. I have written a basic pacman game but apart from that I haven't done any other games. ...
I'm starting with C++ in more depth while building a simple 2d game engine. In my engine I have (or want to have) an "Abstract" GameEntity class, which carries the methods draw, update, and maybe position (x, y). I will add more stuff while it occurs to me. Classes to inherit from GameEntity would be anything that could be drawn on scre...
What is in your opinion the best game programming book using OpenGL and DirectX? ...
I am looking for anyone that can help create some source and a tutorial with me to answer how to create a game like "air control" or "harbor patrol" - just a simple source file where a user can draw using their finger and an object will follow - no need for final collision detection just the simple follow path source. Thanks Matthew PS...
i am trying to load md2 files in opengl but i noticed that most example programs just use a precompiled list of normals. something like this..... //table of precalculated normals { -0.525731f, 0.000000f, 0.850651f }, { -0.442863f, 0.238856f, 0.864188f }, { -0.295242f, 0.000000f, 0.955423f }, { -0.309017f, 0.500000f, 0.80901...
If you see my other question, you'll know that I'm starting to try making simple 2d games on mac. There I was deciding which library to use (OpenGL or Quartz), but no matter what I'll have to use Cocoa to make it a nice Mac application, and for the window and the view (with OpenGL, NSOpenGLView). Obviously for a game, the view will have ...
I need to design and implement a timer-based game (Flash on client, PHP on server), like Cafe World, i.e. user clicks on a button, waits a few seconds, something happens, and then he can click again. It'll be a simulation of a food production line. There will be N production line elements, each has a separate timer with different durati...
I think Flash/Flex is a good aproach for this case. We need to build some like the following: http://www.flashracegames.com/play-micro-racers-2.html Is there some free engines to perform it? ...
DTD flash flex action script open source engine? I need some open source engine for creating some games like Desktop Tower Defense games Does it exist?) So… What do I need? I need - • Open Source Libs • Tutorials • Blog posts/Articles ...
Given a tic-tac-toe board as input, where the game may already be started: | | -+-+- |X| -+-+- | | Output a tic-tac-toe board with the best possible move for the player whose next turn it is. You can assume a well-formed board (you won't have just 3 Os): | |O -+-+- |X| -+-+- | | The only acceptable moves here are corners, si...
I want to add random movement to some of my game objects similar to the way flies swarm in Unity3D. I've developed a method using the addforce() method but would like to bypass the physics engine. Any help is appriciated ...
I'm developing a puzzle game application - watch on youtube - for iPhone, and the actual "in-game" part is almost done. It is a separate Class (subclass of UIView) what initializes with a puzzle clue, puzzle pieces, and is ready to send a message for somebody if the puzzle has solved ("completeness" check invoked on every touchesEnded). ...
