How to create a Directional Icon for your game…(www.temporalwars.com)

submitted by berben11(75) 1 year, 2 months ago

Using some of the feedback, I decided to add the ability to display a ‘Directional Icon’ in the game engine. The idea was to display the icon anywhere in the game world, have it look like it’s painted on the ground floor, and be able to set the color, position, scale and rotation from a scripting-like call. But how would you do this? You could create a separate effect, but then you would have to pass in the light matrix, view matrix, and the details from the terrain map, etc. Also, optimization is key point here when dealing with the Xbox, so it was critical to come up with a solution which fit into the original Terrain’s shader code. read more...

How to get RTS units to find an attack position…(www.temporalwars.com)

submitted by berben11(75) 1 year, 2 months ago

My original idea was to take the attacker’s position, and then locate a position somewhere in front of the attackie position. If an A* position was blocked, I would then use a formula to find some open location. The problem with this logic was the fact that the units would dance around, from node to node. read more...

XNA, Meet WPF(jmorrill.hjtcentral.com)

submitted by Lord(3737) 3 years, 9 months ago

The new D3DImage in WPF opens up worlds for WPF. Direct3D content rendered with WPF...it doesn't get any better! The downside is it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) that Microsoft was only targeting unmanaged Direct3D. Yes there is Managed DirectX, but it seems as if MDX is no longer being maintained and it's not so obvious how to get a D3D surface pointer from the API. It really seems MDX has been left in the dust in favor for XNA, which is a very intuitive D3D wrapper. XNA further exacerbates the issue with XNA and WPF. read more...
