C# Encode shorts into uint
|
I'm trying to encode two signed shorts into an unsigned int, with the line below:
uint Encoded = (uint)GridXPos | ((uint)GridYPos << 16);
But the compiler is giving me a warning of:
Bitwise-or operator used on a sign extended oper... |

Combine blocks into geometry
|
I'm looking for an algorithm to combine tiles into a solid piece of geometry. The tiles are all the same size and are either square or a corner piece (right angle triangle taking up one half of the area of a square, if you get what I mean), and... |

Photos of Lego
|
I thought about building objects from Lego and then photographing them to get sprites for a game. Does anyone know if this is legal, or does it infringe copyright? There would be no Lego branding visible. |

Thumbnail screenshot in XNA
|
OK, my brain's not working today. I'm trying to capture a thumbnail screenshot in XNA, so I create a 128x128 texture, set it as the render target, render, then save it. The problem is that it's only capturing the 128x128 top left corner of the s... |

Probability calculation
|
I'm trying to calculate the amount of things that die from natural causes. At the moment, I've got this:
For each thing, I do:
if (Random number between 0 and 1) <= (Death probability)
(Number to kill off) += 1
Which works fine and is... |

CSS Height

I'm trying to create a simple menu bar with CSS. The problem I'm having is that the background is being displayed with a height of 0 if I've only got <a> tags in it. If I put some text inside it without any tags, the background bar resizes... |

Free GUI library with editor

Does anyone know of a free GUI library (c++) that comes with an editor. I have a renderer and file system, and I'll be writing an input system, so I'd like one which is cross platform that I can just plug in to my framework. It just has to have... |

Rimpl

I've currently got my class implementations stored in a private implementation class for things in my engine, so that the interface is constant, but I can change the implementation for different platforms. The problem at the moment is that the implem... |

Alternatively, you could use the UISwipeGestureRecognizer class:

The Monkey Hustle

Congrats on getting your first iPhone game out.
I had to figure out a fast way of doing animations for a couple of iPhone and iPad games I worked on, and came up with exactly the same approach as you guys (zipped PVRs), so it's good to k... |

How would the optimal pointer syntax look like?
|
Maybe something similar to ->, but perhaps the other way, e.g.:
int Value = <-PointerToValue;
Dunno though, I haven't really thought too much about it :) |

Is it just me that thinks the interface for the Windows 7 Phone looks hideous? I really don't like the plain blue squares for the home page (I know you can customise the colours, but I'm guessing they'll still be plain looking squares), and the whole... |

[C#] Can't get the following generics based function to work.

If you can wait until C#4.0 is out, you can do it in that with the dynamic object type:

Combine blocks into geometry

Thanks, that looks like it'll work. To get it to handle the triangular pieces, I think subdividing each tile into a 2x2, with the triangular parts being represented like:

Then skipping two sq... |
