text effects
|
I'm curious how easy it would be to do an effect such as:
http://www.nulldesign.de/exp/expviewer.php?file=text_explode.swf&width=600&height=300
with blocks of text in D3D9.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Edges on a window?
|
If I wanted to approach creating a movable game menu, inside my game, would I merely create a textured quad with whatever "custom" images as the content? As an example, think of a rounded square, with transparent edges.

VOIP / Ventrilo-esqe Voice Program
|
I've heard from a friend that in his class a team used C#, and some API to develop what amounts to a Ventrilo / Teamspeak application. Anyone familiar with a decent API? I prefer it to work with C#, but doesn't entirely matter.
Thanks in advance. |

Question about Pause Window
|
I've noticed that in some games there is a pause window, that you can produce, by some shape or form in the game, usually a dedicated button. The same goes for general menus, while in-game.
My question is, what exactly occurs? I've figured that in... |

Train + Train Tracks.. any Ideas?

Curious.
What would the most realistic solution at having a train model, follow a train track model - without having to set up some hard-coded path, just like follow the track, moving forward at a timed interval?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Cliffs & tunnels - best approach?

How do people usually do cliffs and tunnels, in DirectX?
I've done heightmapping for general terrain, but even if you do that approach, you can't really do a detailed cliff, with maybe even a tunnel delving into it? What's the best approach for th... |

Question about Pause Window

Yet again, I make myself look stupid. I also just realized the second option would probably be better, because I could make some sort of input method, somewhat relating to an onMouseClick type event, to handle "buttons" made of textured quads as... |

Question about Pause Window

Well, I realized that you would use some game states. My dilemma is that I would have no idea how to create the "window" that spawns over the game-window, with the menu options on it.
I can create windows normally, however, if you just Create... |
