Really Rather Good Battles In Space

Images from the beta release of my new real time strategy game, "Really Rather Good Battles In Space" (http://rrgbis.sourceforge.net).
Coding and level design took around 2.5 months of full time work, though I got a head start by reusing lots of c... |

Scaling down textures
|
Hey, my game eats up lots and lots of video memory, so I wish to give the user an option of scaling down the textures (i.e. a 1024 by 1024 texture could actually be stored at 512*512). What is the standard way of doing this in OpenGL?
Cheers,
J... |

This is a spaceship:

Each ascii character is, say, 23 pixels by 79 pixels, or generally some awkward number. To make efficient use of power-of-two textures in video memory, it is stored like this:

Sort of finished an AI script based strategy game

The game design was based more on what I thought would be interesting to program than on what I thought would be fun, but maybe someone will find it interesting.

Names for weapons wanted
|
Anyone fancy suggesting a name or two or three for my game?
It is set in space, and as with all space combat games I need a big selection of weapons with silly names. Well, not intentionally silly.
I need names for:

Yet another alt tab question

I’ve been reading all the previous stuff on this forum about alt-tab issues, and as my game is no Half-Life I quite like the sound of simply reszing the desktop to match my desired resolution and then running in windowed mode.
However,... |

A couple of beginners questions

I’ve read various general articles around the internet on protocols and network game design and such like, and I’m about to start reading the DirectPlay tutorials.
However, I wonder if anyone could answer a couple of game design q... |

Vector vs linked list

How often do you have to be deleting an object from a container to make it worth using a linked list?
I’m writing a real time strategy game (sort of), and as such I have a container of sides, each of which has a container of groups, each of... |

Gratuitous Space Battles
|
Definitely much better than my efforts. I have to wonder though, is the game's name at all inspired by me? I know people come up with the same ideas independently all the time, I'm just wondering. |

Thanks for the heads up! It seems having a silly title has benefits. |

Tasty Planet

I think it would rock as a mini game on the Wii, though unfortunately I guess getting it published would be totally impossible. |

Scaling down textures

Well, I think what I am probably going to do is scale the pixels using a function copied from SDL_gfx before the pixels ever reach OpenGL. |

After spending an obscene an amount of time on about 10 lines of code, this answer seems to work:
static void BlitGL_htile_hflipped(glSDL_TexInfo *txi,
const SDL_Rect& src_rect, const SDL_Rect& dst_rect, unsigned char alpha, int gl_effect)... |

It is a little more complicated than that because:
a) not all of the spaceship may be on the screen at once. So, first, you have to use the source_x1 and source_y1 arguments to work out from where to start drawing the image (i.e. if sour... |
