Adventures in Game Development Chapter 7 Part 2

This is the second part of our weekend of game development.

We talk about the NPC system, work on graphics, watch as Marcel does nothing, have a battle between Peter's computer and mine, and show Marcel what happens when you don't work.

I'm really surprised that Marcel hasn't killed the guy behind the camera who does nothing but bitch about his work.

[GyroVorbis]

If he actually worked while the rest of us bust our balls, that wouldn't be an issue.

Yeah it was 12 am. But if you calculate your game's fps with cpu some how to make the fps faster on slow pcs. You need to create 3 functions to do this. But you need to use the QueryPerformanceCounter function and detect if the pc is 32 bit or 16 bit.

[GyroVorbis]

16 bit? We aren't running on an SNES, bro.

[ajm114]

If you calculate the CPU with the refresh rate that you have your game render of each frame, the performance with a slow pc will be smoother and may run faster. I know it doesn't make much sense, but try some googling.

[GyroVorbis]

uhm... what? First of all, we're hardware rendering with OGL. Second of all, that made no sense. No offense, I'm sure you just worded it wrong. =)

u guys seriously inspired me to learn about game programming

im not that far in tho, im still learning c++, a general programming language, im reading a pretty thick book and im about 200 pages in

problem is, it shows so much information at once, i have to learn something new every 5 pages, so i have to go back to refresh my memory, and that takes a lot of time

at 5:54 i could swear i saw marcel's eyes move

[MrAlexanderHoff]

Why printf and not cout?

[Iewkas]

printf("I am gay");

L O L

[hel10z44]

haha get to work Marcel!

[MushroomCraftP]

hey camera guy, you work off camera right? otherwise your not working at all.

[chrissyj91]

@bentokioka Hey I hope that your study is still going well ;) I'm doing the same thing and I've basically been recapping everything and then noting it in notepad as I go along. I'm sure you've progressed a lot in the past 11 months ;).

[7arnebcab7]

lol a bunch of typical nerds^^

[eatcomics]

Trigger (Chrono, lol)

gotta love it xD

[HomocidalCanineK9]

Win at 3:28.

[TheGtrMaster]

if you need any help learning c++ I could help you. I've been working with c++ for about 4 years now and I think it's the best language.

rofl the cod eon his arm at end= priceless
