Bitmap fonts with GDI+

I'm trying to get cleartype to work when generating bitmap font glyphs (using GDI+ and copying the generated glyphs into a texture). It all works, except when I try to use TextRenderingHintClearTypeGridFit (via graphics->SetTextRenderingHint), it... |

Mouse position + raw input
|
Hi, I've got raw input working for mouse input in my thing and it works great for delta-based input (high-res mouse movement). For the GUI system, I'm just using GetCursorPos in the mouse button event handler to get the position of the hardware mouse... |

WM_INPUT for keyboard - worth it?
|
Hi,
So DirectInput has been mostly deprecated (for keyboard and mouse) and everyone is saying to use WM_INPUT instead. So this is what I've done, for both keyboard and mouse. However, I'm wondering if is there actually any real advantage to using... |

Mapping clip space coords to pixels
|
Hi, my problem is thus:
I'm representing a GUI window in -1 to 1 clip space coordinates, which is a quad. Now, I want to clip child GUI components to the region of the parent window, so I'm using a scissor rectangle which somewhat works.
The p... |

I'm currently evaluating AngelScript, playing around with the tutorial project (the 2.9.1 release). Modifying "script.as" to look like this:

Print( "In Pie::foo\n" );
}

VC2005 Express Tools Folder

Hi,
I'm trying to set up and automated build script for my project. I need to get the tools folder containing (ie. "E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools") vcvars.bat so I can run that in my script.
For older versions of MSVC I... |

ARGH! The debugger is killing me here!!

Uhm, hi. I just had a somewhat successful day playing with SWIG to expose my legacy C++ code to C#. I can now use my engine (implemented in C++) from C#. Now, I find that it won't let me step into the unmanaged C++ code from the managed code (interfa... |

Mouse position + raw input

Hey thanks for the replies - thought I'd let you know what I ended up doing.
a. For mouse buttons, I switched to simply using WM_LBUTTONDOWN/UP, etc. These messages pass the mouse position when the event occured, and moving to these messages was p... |

WM_INPUT for keyboard - worth it?
|
:D! My suspicions paid off - WM_CHAR/WM_DEADCHAR was still being called even though I was returning 0 from WM_INPUT. I set the RIDEV_NOLEGACY flag on my call to RegisterRawInputDevices and ToUnicodeEx works perfectly, just as expected :).

WM_INPUT for keyboard - worth it?

Nah that doesn't make any difference unfortunately. Just as proof that it's not handling the dead-keys for me, I press two "'" in a row:
ToUnicodeEx: result is -1 (39 0 8339 126)
ToUnicodeEx: result is -1 (39 0 8339 126)

WM_INPUT for keyboard - worth it?

I do receive WM_CHAR, it's just that I need to store which key event generated the char event (so I can decide later on whether I want to allow the char to go through to the scripts).
Anyway, looking at the documentation that's how I thought... |

WM_INPUT for keyboard - worth it?

Cool - I am now mapping scancode to VK using MapVirtualKey thanks steve. I can distinguish between all left/rights now. My problem now is I need to associate the WM_CHAR with the WM_KEYDOWN that generated it, so I can no longer rely on just usin... |

WM_INPUT for keyboard - worth it?

Okay - found a reason to use WM_INPUT for keyboard. I want to get events for individual left shift/right shift. Unfortunately WM_KEYDOWN/KEYUP is only sent once for VK_SHIFT even if you press both keys. WM_INPUT gets the keydown event for b... |

WM_INPUT for keyboard - worth it?
|
Ah yes. I am actually needing to use WM_CHAR for text input (one of the main reasons for dropping DInput -_^). So I might as well use WM_KEY* for all keyboard stuff. There's no real issue with doing mouse/keyboard in different ways.
Thanks.

Animation in Assassin's Creed

Probably more important the raw animation data itself is how these animations blend together and transition from one to another (e.g. only transition from A to B when the right foot has hit the ground at the correct angle). We've had mo-cap... |
