In Topic: Sprites and Atlases

28 November 2012 - 10:53 AM

The system I use has what you call animation frames as objects in their own right (I call them cells). There is a function to find one by name, and after that you can pass around a pointer to it just like you do with the parent in your example. In fact, the cell knows it's parent so you don't need to pass that around separately. So my code to create an instance looks something like this:

cell = cell_manager.lookup_cell("example_cell_name");

new_sprite = std::auto_ptr<dx_sprite>(new dx_sprite());
new_sprite->set_cell(cell);

In Topic: Billboard problem

Can you post a screenshot of the incorrectly displayed billboard, or describe what's wrong please?  The code you've posted looks OK to me (assuming that your billboard verts are set up in the correct orientation).

I've used DirectX 9.0 on a very old version of Visual Studio - I would imagine you're using more recent technology, but send me a message if you'd like to talk anyway.

In Topic: Crippling Fear of Unoriginality (Any Advice?)

I still cannot help worrying about someone thinking I copied them and starting some sort of Twitter mob to destroy my company before it begins.


I'm not sure if you meant this literally, but I'll say this anyway - if you're a new developer such a mob is probably just as likely to make you (via publicity, people checking out your game to see what all the fuss is about) as to break you (via negative publicity) anyway. This is probably especially true if your game is interesting enough that others will step up to defend you as well.

I suggest you spend more of your time worrying about simply not being noticed!

Just completed your survey. One quick tip, for future surveys please avoid using negatively phrased questions like this:

Please rate how much you agree with the following statement:

'I did not find this question confusing.'
Strongly Disagree - Somewhat Disagree - Neither Agree nor Disagree - Somewhat Agree - Strongly Agree
