I'm making a game with Python->PyGame->Albow and ran into a problem with board generation. However I'll try to explain the problem in a language agnostic way. I believe it's not related to python. I've split the game board generation into several parts. Part one generates the board holes. Holes are contained in a list/array. Each hole...
I want to use Flash to write games. I don't want to learn about how to create glossy buttons for my 2005 website, or how to use the motion tween interface-- I just want to learn ActionScript 3 and the development environment. Suggestions? EDIT: I already know plenty about game programming; I'm just new to flash. EDIT: I found this sit...
Sorry in advance if this is a really basic Matrix/OpenGl question. I have a situation where I have a 4x4 matrix that I would like to translate to, but don't want to use glMultMatrixf. I would rather use a gluLookAt method I've been using for most other translations. Is getting the values needed from the 4x4 matrix as simple as just pulli...
I've written a game for Android, and I've tested it on the Dev Phone 1. It works perfectly, the speed is just right. However, I'm sure phone CPU's are getting faster. They may already be faster than the dev phone. How do I make sure that my game runs at the exact same speed no matter what the device or how fast it runs? Do you know ...
In my JavaScript game (made with jQuery) I have player position stored in a database. When character is moving, i just send request to specyfic URL, I.E. mysite.com/map/x1/y3 (where a character's position is x=1, y=3). That url send coordinates to the database and checks to see if any other players are near ours. If yes, it sends also...

I'm making a boggle-like word game. The user is given a grid of letters like this: O V Z W X S T A C K Y R F L Q The user picks out a word using any adjacent chains of letters, like the word "STACK" across the middle line. The letters used are then replaced by the machine e.g. (new letters in lowercase): O V Z W X z e x o p Y R F L Q...

New Programmer here. Trying space invaders. I have a 2 dimensional array of objects stored in a one dimensional array (using modulo to determine rows and columns).

I am trying to write a C++ program that works like the game 24. For those who don't know how it is played, basically you try to find any way that 4 numbers can total 24 through the four algebraic operators of +, -, /, *, and parenthesis. As an example, say someone inputs 2,3,1,5 ((2+3)*5) - 1 = 24 It was relatively simple to code the...
(I'm not sure if this off-topic. I found a lot of voted-up questions about software licenses and this is related. Plus, I'm sure many of us have had the situation that we need to use a dictionary in our code) I'm making a (maybe commercial) word game and need to use a good word dictionary for checking words. The most common dictionaries...

I just recently implemented a "Panic" button that makes the entire site display: none and display: block's a iframe with a allowed in school website of the user's choice. It works well so far, but the user's flash game still runs in the background while hidden. Is there a way to paus...

I have a small community of members inside a forum. For the sake of entertainment, I a planning to introduce a small game based on reputations. The idea is that send updates to a user (X) about another user (Y) based on how much X ranks Y. This is just a fun game, but the way I thought of implementing it was in one of the following ways:...
It's ok if the answer to this is "it's impossible." I won't be upset. But I'm wondering, in making a game using C#, if there's any way to mimic the functionality of the "save state" feature of console emulators. From what I understand, emulators have it somewhat easy, they just dump the entire contents of the virtualized memory, instruct...
This question always arises in my mind when I play simulation sports games.Football Manager for example has tons of stats and information about almost everything in the world of football.
