Probabilistic algorithms to approximate function result?
|
Months ago I read a Game Programming Gem about the Bloom filter, and how it could be used to approximate a function result. I'm writing a Virtual Machine for my new computer language, and I have been thinking since then how I could integrate that ki... |

The development strategy: fast vs big projects
|
What's the best strategy for game development? Is it better to make a lot of fast-development games, like casual games, that could be completed in 1 month? Or is it better to get into a big project that could last years? The idea is to get the highes... |

Help with COLLADA skinning
|
Hello!
First, I'm not using C++, so I can't use the libraries around to read COLLADA files. But made my own parser, and I'm able to load static 3D models.
Now I would like to read and apply the skinning information, and I'm having problems to m... |

RoleWorld Builder 0.2b

This is a project I've been working on for more than a year. It's an RPG construction set using block elements and sprites. The largest part of the development is making a reusable 3D/2D engine. Hope to have a running demo to show soon... |

D3DDEVTYPE_HAL and D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING faster??

I found a weird problem. I made an application that loads a large amount of vertices, and tested in two machines. Both have NVidia cards: FX 5200 and TI 4200. When I setup the device in DirectX, I use these parameters:
D3DDEVTYPE_HAL and D3DCREATE... |

Hello!
Could someone tell me how to read the skinning from a Collada document? I created an interpreter for XML, and can read 3D models succesfully... but I can't find any information about how the data in Collada is related to animation, and how... |

Superhuman cold resistance

There are lots of human-calculators these days, what about a "human-compiler"? Or even better a human-game-console!! That would be cool to watch. |

Probabilistic algorithms to approximate function result?
|
Ok, maybe under the plain processing flow used by common programming languages, approximated-solution functions don't have a bright future with optimization. But what about mixing them with parallel processing?
For example, let's say we want to op... |

None. Programming languages need to be deterministic.
But how could approximating a function result make a programming language non-deterministic? I think a programming language could bring a mechanism in which a... |

SunAge - finally final

I don't usually post comments about other works, and although many projects have impressed me at Gamedev, I think this is the best 2D game I have seen at the moment. Amazing work!! I would buy one copy when available. |

Most intersection tests are not easy at all, and new algorithms are still being investigated to enhance and optimize them. You would do better looking for a collision detection library which someone have been developing for years. If you still want t... |
