Color Palette Representation
|
In creating an interface for a color picker for a program, I want to implement a method (or multiple methods) that would give the end user the greatest ability to choose the color they want. Right now I've got specification via numerical RGB and Hex... |

Ladder 49
|
Any of you seen it or plan on seeing it? I got out last night to see it with an EMS buddy. Other than being rather depressing, the movie was excellent. What do you guys think? |

Notifying an administrator

Not sure if this has been brought up, so...
Would it be reasonable to have a system where a user can 'flag' a thread to bring something to the attention of an administrator. If something like this happens, the solution should to notify the modera... |

Please bear with me, as I'm not an avid user of Linux.
I recently attempted to update XFree86 on a laptop running RH Enterprise 3. Xfree seemed to install ok. The grahpical Red Hat login screen appeared normally. I was relived to find that... |

Final Release of Asteroids Game

GD Showcase Entry
Just wanted to let you know that I've completed my work on my Asteroids game (By that, I mean that I've stopped working on it whether or not it's really complete). There's a list of things that I thought might be nice... |

GD Showcase Game Ratings
|
It occured to me that while number of downloads can be an indication of a game's quality, it is most often not. Would it be unreasonable for users to be able to rate the games much like they rate users? This way, when the showcase begins to grow (a... |

Recursion and Memory Problems

I couldn't sleep last night, so I had the bright idea of using the win32 api to make a little index of files (from which I could later make comparison's via checksums and such..). Getting it implemented was simple enough.. I use FindFirstFile() and... |

Driving Music Suggestions
|
In about a week I'm going on vacation to South Carolina and.. I've got a 12 hour drive ahead of me. What I'm looking for is some good driving music (techno-ish?) OR some good 70's rock / pop. The purpose of the 70's rock is to entertain me as... |

Self-sustaining Game Servers

This thread is meant to start a discussion of self-sustaining game servers. By self-sustaining, I mean a way to support a game server continuously purely through profits gained from the game server or from the game itself, without (directly) chargin... |

The Army of One!
|
To a point, I agree. However, I think that the one-man-army is a common fantasy that people love to play out.
I think there have been a good number of more realistic games out there, particularly the rainbow six and ghost recon series. Th... |

What was the first platform you started gaming on?
|
For me, it was my parents' C64. Spiderbot and Wolfenstein were my favorites. My first 'real' video game system was then the Sega Genesis when I was 8 years old. |

Curves

I would look at splines. NeHe has an excellent OpenGL tutorial on bezier patches. B-Splines, specifically, may be what you're looking for. |

open rpg in deserts?

I'd imagine that unique content would be essential to keeping the player interested.
As far as quests, I would advise against randomly generated ones. If a player repeatedly runs errands, or destroys a settlement of X bad guys, or other... |

Shoot em up 'on rails'....does no one else like them?

I must say that I have had a whole lot of fun playing the shooter portions of Rayman: Raving Rabbids for the Wii. I was even more obsessive with games like Crypt Killer, Virtua Cop, and Area 51 back on the Sega Saturn (to the point where I coul... |

FPS camera movement (player leaning/steps)
|
I would tie the horizontal and vertical movements to a sine function. That way, you'll get smooth, tweakable movements.
e.g. gunOffsetX = sin(time_value)
You merely increase the time value as the player walks, and you'll be able to have the gu... |

PHP/MySQL - Help with SELECT query
|
I believe that a valid resource will be returned even if there are 0 rows. That is, mysql_query should only return false when an error (e.g. syntax, permission) occurs. |

Register to view game design forum?

If we were also posting full code and assets, then I might be concerned. However, like code snippets and screenshots, I don't think there is any concern in releasing design ideas. Not to mention that the discussion of general game ideas is somethin... |

Plot 2d data
|
Use something like this.
glViewport(0,0,640,480);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluOrtho2D(0,1000,0,1000);
If you want it to take only the upper-left quarter of the screen you can use
glViewport(0,0,320,240);... |
