supposed to pop up a mouse config dialog. it does so
on my home PC but not at the library. both systems are
windows xp. any ideas why... |

normal averaging

Let's say you have a vector of triangles and their normals. What's the simplest way to display them using normal averaging (i.e. setting a vertex normal based on the average of the normals of all triangles adjacent to that vertex)? It seems li... |

3d torus
|
I was just wondering if anyone knows the best way to create a 3d torus from triangles? I'd like something simple that doesn't require complex rotation routines.
Thanks.

ellipsoid normals
|
Let's say I have a sphere, and I distort it into an ellipsoid by dividing the y values by two. What happens to the normals? My intuition tells me they get multiplied by two, but I'm not sure.

othello game

Has anyone here made an Othello game? I'm making one using minimax, and I'm wondering what heuristic to use. Right now, I just use the number of squares that the computer controls. It seems to work but not as well as I'd like.

circle
|
Is there any easy way to draw a circle in OpenGL?
I already tried:
glPointSize(25.0);
glEnable(GL_POINT_SMOOTH);
glBegin(GL_POINTS);
glVertex2f(0, 0);
glEnd();
But, it seems my graphics card limits the radius to about 5 pixels.

alpha-beta in minimax
|
I've been thinking about making a chess game using minimax. Just out of curiosity, how much faster do you think it will run if I use alpha-beta?
Also, my understanding is that you don't need to worry about memory usage when searching a large mini... |

normal averaging

That's for heightfields where the connectedness of triangles is obvious.

ellipsoid normals
|
Interesting. So, if you do divide all the y values of a sphere by 2 to make an ellipsoid, it seems that you can just multiply the old sphere normal's y value by 4 and normalize.

othello game

Interesting. Out of curiosity, what kind of search depth do you think I should be able to get with minimax and alpha-beta for Othello? Right now, it seems I can only go about 6 levels deep (it takes a few seconds to a minute on a 400 mhz... |

othello

I'm not sure if that's what people consider Reversi today. I just downloaded a game called Daisy Reversi, and it has the four pieces in the center. It says:
The rules of Reversi are fairly simple but lead to a great many combinations and strateg... |

othello game

So, I should probably multiply the computer values by the grid and then subtract the player values multiplied by the grid?
Initially, I was just looking at the computer's squares.

Thanks for the tips. I'm guessing you meant this:
{ { 10, 2, 7, 7, 7, 7, 2, 10 },
{ 2, -4, 1, 1, 1, 1, -4, 2 },
{ 7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 7 },
{ 7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 7 },
{ 7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 7 },
{ 7, 1, 1, 1, 1,... |

What if I call it Reversi? Is that a generic name for Othello?

fullscreen

Here's what I settled upon:
case WM_ACTIVATE:
if (LOWORD(wParam)==WA_INACTIVE) ChangeDisplaySettings(NULL,0);
else fullscreen();
break;
It seems to work.

Thanks, but I'm not using the depth buffer.
What did that other guy (anist) say, and what happened to his post?
