Game Development / Game Mechanics / Collision Detection
|
on: 2013-03-02 15:56:36
|
|
In my game, entities are rectangles, but are able to rotate, I need a way to tell collision between them taking into account the rotation. I have a double x and y and a double rotation

Java Game APIs & Engines / Engines, Libraries and Tools / Slick2D Most efficient way to draw a pixel array
|
on: 2013-03-02 00:48:06

I have a int[] cols, and want to draw that in a grid across the screen, I currently have each color fill a 4x4 area, but I want to have it 1 pixel instead of 4. Doing that seems to cause tremendous lag. I am looking for a better way to do this. 1

Game Development / Game Mechanics / Rotating A Point
|
on: 2013-03-01 23:22:41
|
|
I am rotating a sprite in game around the center, and need to find out where a certain point is, from the original, so for example in the original a point at (1, 1) on the 64 x 128 image. I need to find that point after the rotation. I am using slick2d as my graphics library

Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / Getting Highscores
|
on: 2013-01-28 17:55:52
|

Hi, I am making a game, and need a simple way to get the highest score, and that player's name. And a way to send data to say there's a new high score. I tried using a simple UDP system but i can't get it to work. I don;t mind running a server, but would prefer not to.

I need some help for a project im working on, i want to make a 3D rotating globe, at the moment i am using a pixel array for my rendering, i would like to keep it like that, but i am not sure how to make the 3D globe with a pixel array. My Bitmap class 1

Game Development / Game Mechanics / Rotating Towards Target

I am having some problems with my method for turning my entity to face another Entity. The angle calculation works perfectly, however the entity will rock back and forth flying away from the target if it is directly below it. I think it is my turning to desired rotation method... 1

No problem, first deployment attempt is always troublesome  I also downloaded the .exe file, but it also seems to fail silently. Can't really tell what the problem is without logging or exceptions, unfortunately. Has somebody else got it to work? Oh god, i feel like a failure, i thought it worked. All my friends I've sent it too it seems to work fine, is your computer able to handle 1280x720 resolutions in LWJGL, that's the only difference i could think of, or maybe the antivirus is blocking it, what antivirus are you using? |

Ok I just looked in C:/Users/<my username> but there's no exe file there. I tried running it using admin rights, but that made no difference either.
It shouldn't need admin rights, i'll add the link to the game.exe itself in the main post, sorry for the hassle... |

Hey, I tried it but could not get it to work. I get the updater screen with the blog messages, which appears to perform an update. But when I click "Play" the game just drops back to the prompt with no popups or console output. Looks cool though, I'm curious I tested this on a Windows 7 machine with Java 7 installed. I'll look into it, it should then run a different java file i compiled as an exe, if the launcher fails go to C:/Users/USERNAME/game.exe and try running that, it should have downloaded the game there |

 Space Storm is an in development Space Strategy Game by me, I'm 14 and a wannabe game developer, constructive criticism please. There is a changelog hosted off of tumblr.com you can find here http://spacestormblog.tumblr.com/ I have made a launcher which will automatically update and run the game. You can get it from here, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63217995/Space%20Storm%20Launcher.jarIf the launcher says updating but then doesn't actually run the game after the updating message has gone, go to C:/Users/USERNAME/game.exe and run that If there is no file there, use this link for the direct .exe file https://dl.dropbox.com/u/63217995/Space%20Sim%20Game.exeWINDOWS ONLY FOR NOW, MAC AND LINUX BUILDS COMING SOONTo play, first add at least one enemy and one ally ship, select the one you want to place with left click, place it with right click. Press Space to start, select one of your ships with left click, then right click tells it where to move, the game is won when either team has no ships left, the star wars-esque intro is for the story/campaign I'm planning on adding later! Please post any bugs/errors that you find  |

Okay, i've done some testing, and it seems to work fine x Axis, but messes up somewhere on the y Axis, as in, if i tell it to go from (0,0) to (10,0) it works fine, if i want to move just in the x Axis it has to be 1
