Sooo... which of the XCOMs is the bestCOMs? [I kind of want to play one now]

This is a really tricky question.

I really enjoyed Enforcer (the arcade FPS one) for what it is. I also thought Apocalypse (the third one) did a very good job in its own right. Nothing beats Terror From The Deep, though, which fixed some of the problems the first one had and extended gameplay quite a bit with stuff like two-part missions.

The rest are garbage to me, though (excluding the original).

How are you querying the skeleton matrix array address? Have you tried passing the entire array to "g_skeleton[0]"?

If anyone knows a way to just uppload all tre matrices at once, pleas tell me

This seems to work for now.

 

glUniformMatrix4fv(location, 1, GL_FALSE,glm::value_ptr(matrices[index]));

The number in bold is the 'count' parameter - you can use it to upload several matrices at once.

If you need more fine-tuned control over your uniforms, look up uniform buffer objects (available from GL3.1).

This is the OpenGL 2.0 pipeline laid out graphically. Note that it's lacking newer features such as geometry and tessellation shaders.

Sorry, what do you mean?

Does the circle texture have an alpha channel? What's in it?

When blending, you'll usually want to use white color, eg:

glColor4f(1.f, 1.f, 1.f, fAlpha);

Or what is it that I failed to make sense about?
