How Deep is Your Code?

Yes Hotshot, dealing with libraries is a pain to set up! Especially if you are trying to cross compile to multiple platforms.

Hmm looks like microsoft have a GLX-equivalent called WGL.
en.wikipedia.org
Although full of ugly hungarian notation!
[code]
BOOL WINAPI wglDeleteContext(
HGLRC hglrc
);
[/code]
"HGLRC hglrc" what the hell is that?!?!

I get the massively cross platform bit that SDL does. But if you're after the main three -- windows, linux, mac -- it's not that big a deal surely?
How tidy are the windows and mac native set-up-a-window functions?
Although to be fair, the new GLFW 3 loo*snip*

Don’t know why anybody bothers with frameworks like SDL, GLFW, etc. Raw GLX (OpenGL for X11) is far less sucky. Still sucky, just far less.

What's the one in the gif where you move the mouse and it has a tail and you use it to shoot horizontal enemies as well?
I loved that one. I think you made a sequel.

"New" OpenGL

10th June 2013

I suppose it depends. Like, you can base your framework drawing images on individual super-optimised squares and it'll basically be the same sort of performance that OpenGL used to have.
But if you've got something of fixed position & size, like a screen *snip*

Time for you to learn New OpenGL then!!!
But you're right, it's a great feeling when you finally crack it.

"New" OpenGL

10th June 2013

Yeah finally sort of got the hang of it... after four days!
Got stuff working, including looking up colors from a 1 dimensional array to multiply with the texture.
And then even fancy distortion effects like a sine wave offset when sampling the texture i*snip*

"New" OpenGL

9th June 2013

Arghhh apparently GLSL doesn't allow variable indexes to an array except in very specific circumstances ARGHHH
No errors or anything, it just silently fails!!!
edit: Also I say "New" OpenGL. OpenGL 3 (which I'm writing to) was released five years ago!!!

"New" OpenGL

9th June 2013

You used to just be able to use the fixed functions from whatever language, like
GL_Begin(GL_QUAD)
GL_Vertex2i(0, 0);
GL_Vertex2i(100, 0);
...
GL_End()
The problem was the graphics card spend all that time waiting for the CPU to run those fu*snip*

Christ, the effort you need to put into to get a textured square using the new OpenGL is insane. Yes it’s a very very fast textured square, but christ...

Do you mean like the whole level or just tiles?
I have some (not many) monochrome tiles (walls, props, etc.) and quite a lot of monochrome baddies/monsters somewhere if that's what you want?

It's smart advertising to "officially" release a pirate version of your game but it's getting a little cliché.

She's a teacher! It's not unlike the private sector depending where you work -- zero hour contracts are all too common.

Mum is a public sector worker, has to work till she's 65, her "gold plated" pension is *!APOUND!*2,000 and she probably works a 40 hour week even though she's paid for a 17 hour contract!
You're right about Gordon Brown though he raided the pension funds
