Hi Woody, Its great to have a kindred spirit that has some interest in this to talk with. YES, OpenGL is just another graphical interface similar to the graphical part of DirectX. OpenGL has had many upgrades (revisions), just the same as has happened with the various versions of DirectX. The step u...

OpenGL ..... Fun or Frustration???
Time to go on a little journey. The same sort of journey like "Alice in Wonderland". In this case though maybe it may be closer to "Siddy in Funnyland". OK, what do we know? OpenGL should be a great rendering system that will allow games to be written for all 3 of the major opera...

No, I have not died... No, This area has not come to a halt.... While being tied up with personal problems at home, it has given me plenty of time to think. I started off with playing with various game libraries. They gave one the opportunity to get a good overview of what is involved in creating a ...

Another day of fun and frustration. When I was making that island model, I created it as a *.obj model. I used another program to convert it to a *.X model, as D3D likes to work with *.X models. In the conversion, I forgot to tick the (add normals) to the conversion, so I had wasted the better part ...

While I am waiting for an addition(by the developer) to be included in one of the game libraries that I am playing with, I thought it may be interesting to play with DirectX9 directly, rather than going through a game library. I decided to set up 2 cameras so that one camera would render the back ha...

Have been having some fun (well not really, as I hate making models ) learning to make models for some of these newer game engines. It looks like the most important 3D model formats are *.OBJ and *.X formats. After spending a huge amount of time trying to find a 3D modeling program that actually is ...

Have been having some fun with applying bullet holes to things. The usual procedure for bullet holes is to have them visible for a predefined period of time and then they fade away. Have been thinking it may be worthwhile to have a predefined max value of about 1000 bullet holes allowed to be visibl...

Hi Mav, Have a look at this game library. m I have been playing with it over the last 2 days. It has impressed me greatly. It is free for non-commercial projects, and provides almost everything one can possibly imagine, in it. Although it does not provide shader access from within the free version, ...

Hi Mav, I have sent you another file set with a working menu system for the Entry Menu, the Host Menu, and the Client Menu. Sent via attachment to your email account. That set should be complete enough for you to integrate your sound code into it. I still want to do some modifications with the menu ...

Hi Jel, good to see you had a good time overseas. Give our love to Pam and the family. Yes, it will be great to see 1.28a released. It has had a long gestation period, and it should be a very pretty baby at its launch. I must say I do miss all the buzz and activity from when I was still active in th...

Just a little update, I had been chasing a problem within the game library that was corrupting Text Fonts when they are being rescaled. Here is a picture of a corrupted font compared to what the font should be like. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b49/sydbod/GoodText.jpg I blew more time than what...
