I'm not talking about BB-type text based but rich rpgs with spriting, etc. With the current advancements in javascript for rich browser interfaces, would it be possible to create semi-massive multiplayer online games running on our browsers within the near future? We could say that if we really want games we must stick with c++, but I'...
Despite all the advances in 3D graphic engines, it strikes me as odd that the same level of attention hasn't been given to audio. Modern games do real-time rendering of 3D scenes, yet we still get more-or-less pre-canned audio accompanying those scenes. Imagine - if you will - a 3D engine that models not just the physical appearance of ...

We are making a game with a playing character that will have several different states. In most examples I see a switch statement in the controllable charactor based on the state. Is this the standard way that things are done for most games? Or is it better to create a set of states that handle the animation and logic of that state. It se...
Hi Guys, There is an interesting problem at hand. I have a role-playing MMOG running through a client application (not a browser) which sends the actions of my player to a server which keeps all the players in sync by sending packets back. Now, the game uses a top layer protocol over TCP/IP to send the data. However, wireshark does not...

How can we generate a link that can be clicked on by 5 different people on a Social Network game, so that each of the five people can get a bonus? The link will be published as a "newsfeed" on the Social Network such as Facebook. The link shouldn't be easily "generated" by any people as a cheating method. Also, what database table(s) ...

Hello, I'm just starting out in C++ programming and I want to try creating a space invaders clone in C++, I want to avoid using game libraries and things that would solve a lot of the problems (like game loop and vector maths etc) so I can tackle these myself, but, I have no idea how to begin drawing things to a screen. I was wondering...

Anyways, I am jetting to at least get some code printed by Python before I get even further in developing this. I want to receive UDP packets from my Garry's Mod server (logaddress_add MyIP:7...

So now I would like to make it updatable at runtime using all best guideline available. I have also some questions about collaterals API: 1) what file monitoring API can ...
Floating point type represents a number by storing its significant digits and its exponent separately on separate binary words so it fits in 16, 32, 64 or 128 bits. Fixed point type stores numbers with 2 words, one representing the integer part, another representing the part past the radix, in negative exponents, 2^-1, 2^-2, 2^-3, etc. ...
Google tracks what links are clicked on search result pages, and probably how many times each is clicked as well. If this data were to be used to influence search results, perhaps by lowering the rank of links that got low click-through rates, how can Google protect it from gaming? I ask because I'd like to track clicks in a similar way...
I am using the Corona Gaming Addition SDK to build an iphone / andorid game. I have a space ship on the screen and I will allow the user to rotate the ship 360 degrees. I would like to then call the applyLinearImpulse method to allow the user to thrust the ship forward in the direction the ship is facing. The method accepts these argume...
