• Creating a level editor event system

  - by Vaughan Hilts

  I'm designing a level editor for game, and I'm trying to create sort of an 'event' system so I can chain together things. If anyone has used RPG Maker, I'm trying to do similar to their system. Right now, I have an 'EventTemplate' class and a bunch of sub-classed 'EventNodes' which basically just contain properties of their data. Orginally, the IAction and IExecute interface performed logic but it was moved into a DLL to share between the two projects. Question: How can I abstract logic from data in this case? Is my model wrong? Isn't cast typing expensive to parse these actions all the time? Should I write a 'Processor' class to execute these all? But then these actions that can do all sorts of things need to interact with all sorts of sub-systems.

• 2D management game [on hold]

  - by Simon Bull

  Very newbie question but I have a game idea in mind. It will be 2d and data centric, like football manager. However I am struggling to find a platform that would suit. I am an experienced line of business developer so am happy to write code, but I would like a platform that does some of the leg work for me so was avoiding OpenGL. I would also like to be able deploy to iOS, android, windows and OS X. What are the options? To be more clear, the game is not a normal platform or shooter type game, so game maker is likely to be way too basic and unity seems a little over the top (though I am not sure if the GUI options would fit?). The majority of the game is more like business screens just displaying data and having buttons to click. Are there options for this type of game (May help to look at football manager)?

• Can I get enough experience to get an industry job just by reading books?

  - by MahanGM

  I've been recently working with DirectX and getting familiar with game engines, sub-systems and have done game development for the last 5 years. I have a real question for those whom have worked in larger game making companies before. How is it possible to get to into these big game creators such as Ubisoft, Infinity Ward or EA. I'm not a beginner in my field and I'm going to produce a real nice 2D platform with my team this year, which is the result of 5 years 2D game creation experience. I'm working with prepared engines such as Unity3D or Game Maker software and using .Net with C# to write many tools for our production and proceeding in my way but never had a real engine programming experience 'till now. I'm now reading good books around this topic but I wanted to know: Is it possible to become an employee in big game company by just reading books? I mean beside having an active mind and new ideas and being a solution solver.

• Techniques for Working Without a Debugger [closed]

  - by ashes999

  Possible Duplicate: How to effectively do manual debugging? Programming in a debugger is ideal. When I say a debugger, I mean something that will allow you to: Pause execution in the middle of some code (like a VM) Inspect variable values Optionally set variable values and call methods Unfortunately, we're not always blessed to work in environments that have debuggers. This can be for reasons such as: Debugger is too too too slow (Flash circa Flash 8) Interpreted language (Ruby, PHP) Scripting language (eg. inside RPG Maker XP) My question is, what is an effective way to debug without a debugger? The old method of "interleave code with print statements" is time-consuming and not sufficient.

• Making a collision detection system

  - by Sri Harsha Chilakapati

  I'm very new to game development (just started 3 months ago) and I've learning through creating a game engine. It's located here. In terms of collision, I know only brutefoce detection, in which case, the game slows down if there are a number of objects. So my question is How should I program the collisions? I want them to happen automatically for every object and call the object's collision(GObject other) method on each collision. Are there any new algorithms which can make this fast? If so, can anybody6 sh6ed some light on this topic? And I think of making it like the game maker Thanks

• DIY Wirelessly Charged LED Lanterns

  - by Jason Fitzpatrick

  Earlier this year we shared a clever project that turned LEDs, batteries, and PVC into mini, waterproof, and virtually indestructible lanterns. This remake of the project makes the units rechargeable. Our favorite part about this project–the upgrade to an older project and the introduction of wireless charging aside–is the fact that the maker behind it is 15 years old. It’s great to see younger people taking an interest in tinkering!

• What are the pros/cons of using a 3d engine for 2d games?

  - by mrohlf

  What pros or cons should a beginner be aware of when deciding between a 2d game engine (like Slick2D/Flixel/FlashPunk) and a 3d engine (like Unity) for 2d game development? I am just getting started in indie game development, though I have dabbled a bit with Game Maker, Flash, and XNA in the past. I've heard a lot of positive things about Unity, and its cross-platform nature makes it appealing, but as I understand, it's a 3d engine at its core. For a strictly 2d game, are there any compelling reasons to work with a 3d engine like Unity? Or would it just add unneeded complexity to my initial learning experience?

• java application architecture

  - by LostMohican

  We have to write an administration panel for many customers. But we want to have just one administration panel, and use it in various projects. This admin panel will have basic components such as access control logic, maker-checker system in changes, user logging and etc. It will also have reporting for the customer, logs of transaction of the customer (which can vary according to the industry such as mobile banking, banking, ticket sales). These components may have to be modified according to the business. So we are thinking about the architecture here, Is it OK to use jars of every basic components, and bring them together on a glue application? Or should we build each component as WARs and make interfaces between them? If there are any more ideas, it will be appreciated.

• How to begin serious game development (in C++) [closed]

  - by Rondogiannis Aristophanes

  I would like to start developing games. I have tried before Game Maker 8, which was a very easy way to start creating games, if you were new in game development. Then, I tried Unity 3D, which was a much more serious and complete tool to create computer-games, and required some experience. And now, I would like to start creating games, and don't use any special environment or developer, but just code (in C++ preferably). So, here is my question: from where should I begin, if I would like to start programming games? Thanks in advance. Note: I work in ubuntu 10.04, I can also use windows 7, but I prefer ubuntu.

• How to pass Itemized Overlay from a class to a Listener Class.

  Hey guys, I tried searching the forums on this one, but I wasn't able to find anything on my problem. To describe my problem, everytime my location changes, it redraws the center maker on the map.... Only catch is that it doesn't delete the previous one. I can get it to delete the previous one when the location is changed, but I have no idea how to pass the original overlay in-between classes. Also, pastebin here Thanks in advance, hwrd

• Le C++ expressif n° 1 : introduction, un article d'Eric Niebler traduit par Timothée Bernard

  Dissimulé dans C++ se cache un autre langage - d'innombrables autres langages, en fait - tous sont meilleurs que le C++ pour résoudre certains types de problèmes. Ces domain-specific languages (abrégé DSL) sont par exemple des langages pour l'algèbre linéaire ou des langages de requêtes, ils ne peuvent faire qu'une seule chose, mais ils le font bien. On peut créer et utiliser ces langages directement dans le C++, en utilisant la puissance et la flexibilité du C++ pour remplacer les parties communes du langage par les parties spécifiques au domaine que nous utilisons. Dans cette série d'article, Eric Niebler regarde de près les domain-specific languages, dans quels domaines ils sont utiles et comment on peut facilement les implémenter en C++ avec l'aide de

• Steve Jobs élu CEO le plus influent du monde, d'après le top 30 annuel de Barrons

  Steve Jobs élu CEO le plus influent du monde, d'après le top 30 annuel de Barrons Comme chaque année, le magazine financier Barrons publie son top 30 des patrons les plus influents. Et, à son avis, le CEO qui apporte le plus de valeur à son entreprise est Steve Jobs. Le dirigeant d'Apple mène donc le classement. Son nom vaudrait même 25 milliards de dollars ! «Quand il a un souci de santé, l'action Apple tremble», explique le magazine. Steve Jobs aurait même l'aura d'une divinité pour certains, tant ses présentations sont mythiques. L'homme agace ou fascine, mais il ne laisse pas indifférent. Ses détracteurs le disent capable "de faire passer un grille-pain pour la 8e merveille du monde et de persuader les fidè...

• Oracle : « Le Cloud reprend le meilleur des Mainframes » et en corrige les défauts, à condition qu'il s'appuie sur des standards ouverts

  Oracle : « Le Cloud reprend le meilleur des Mainframes » Et en corrige les défauts, à condition qu'il s'appuie sur des standards ouverts Il y a environ 7 ans, Oracle a entamé un virage stratégique. Son but était de simplifier les déploiements et les architectures IT. Aujourd'hui, l'éditeur aux multiples casquettes (BI, BPM, Hardware, SGBD, Java, etc.) est en train d'en faire un deuxième. Celui du Cloud . Et toujours sous le signe de la simplification. « Le meilleur Cloud sera complètement transparent pour les utilisateurs », prédit Andrew Sutherland, le cordial (et écossais) Senior Vice-Président Fusion Middleware Europe, de passage ce matin à Paris.

  Mise à jour du 22.03.2010 par Katleen Il suffit de critiquer l'AppStore pour voir ses applications censurées, suivant l'expérience d'un développeur américain Il y a quelques jours, le développeur de jeux vidéo Tommy Refenes a publiquement décrit la plateforme de vente d'applications d'Apple comme ?atroce? et ?horrible?. L'homme vit cependant du commerce d'une de ses créations, Zits&Giggles (jeu qui consiste à faire éclater des boutons d'acné), qu'il distribue sur l'Appstore à des prix variant suivant ses humeurs (de 15 à 299 dollars). Allant plus loin, il déclare avoir une "pu**** d'aversion pour l'App Store" qui serait "affreux". Apple n'...

• Apple de plus en plus critiqué sur l'AppStore, Mozilla et Opera montent au créneau

  Mise à jour du 12.03.2010 par Katleen Apple de plus en plus critiqué sur l'AppStore, Mozilla et Opera montent au créneau contre sa politique de validation La manière dont Apple gère la validation des applications publiables sur l'AppStore n'en finit plus de faire des mécontents. Déjà assez restrictive, cette politique s'est encore ressérée depuis que les applications à connotation sexuelle ont été interdites. Le soucis c'est que la manière de juger l'obscénité d'un contenu diffère selon les personnes, et chez Apple cette dernière est très stricte : un simple maillot de bain est considéré comme innaproprié. Quelles que soient les raisons de cette sévérité, ces contraintes exaspèr...

• Peut on encore innover en informatique « sans réinventer la roue » ? Une planche de BD soulève la question avec humour

  Peut on encore innover en informatique « sans réinventer la roue » ? Une planche de BD soulève la question avec humour Une planche de BD, au style très rudimentaire, commence à faire le tour du Web (en tout cas celui fréquenté par les développeurs). Ces quelques cases résument la routine dans laquelle baignent beaucoup de programmeurs en ce début 21e siècle. Son auteur y décrit le cas typique du développeur en quête d'accomplissement personnel, las de combiner couche d'abstraction sur couche d'abstraction, sans pouvoir mettre à profit ses « talents de résolution de problèmes complexes ». L'employé envisage alors de quitter son travail pour se consacrer ? effectivement - à l...
