So after some reading and discovering that they DO in fact use a beacon system for Pac Man this is what my code will look like for the ghost: Stored value for turning left Stored value for turning right //These will only lock rotations to 90 deg intervals // Following the doc on the listed page create 3 states for the…
@CrazyButcher: I think you're right about wiki. Let's just keep this a nice list to get started with for now then. Definitely don't want to even think of taking the place of Tech-Artists.org or any of the other sites. @Surfa: Nice set of libraries. I had heard of SlimDX but never looked into it, looks nice. @haiddasalami:…
I'll start with what I posted in the indie thread. This is a Case statement (Sytax is C#). Comments in line. In this version I DID NOT use myNumber to get my initial random number. Instead, I put the random number generator inside the MathF function. I'll post more code for the PolyCount Pac Man as I go along. First task…
Here is a solution to a common problem with touch on iOS. Say you are trying to ALWAYS have your left stick as aim and the other as movement. Well you could go by touch ID, but the ID changes. This makes a zone that you can use to be your invisible button that's not a button. You very well could make a touch state for…
Applications, Tools, and Utilities: An IDE short for Integrated Development Environment for those wondering is just a fancy text editor that makes common programming tasks easier. They look pretty intimidating when you first open them up (I still get scared sometimes...). But with a few tutorials, blind experimentation, or…
General Learning Resources: Where to start!? I personally recommend the following free online Stanford University course. Having gone through most of it I've learned quite a bit about programming. Programming Methodology, video lectures here, course materials here, free pre-press version of the textbook here, and the other…
Languages and Useful Libraries: A library for those wondering is just a fancy name for some code other people have written that you can use along with your own code to accomplish a specific task, such as making games. ActionScript 3 - link The language of Flash, great for web based indie games and as renderhjs has shown,…
Here is a bit of code in C# for a quasi Active Reload in Unity3D. Put this on an object in the scene and run. Can be used for anything that requires timing, use your imagination ;). More code for stuff on the way. using UnityEngine;using System.Collections;//There are many ways to skin a cat, this is my way. Hopefully it…
Tutorials, Online Courses, and Books: General Topics Google Developer Channel - link - Lots of neat subjects covered here, code, business, and more. General Programming/Scripting MIT - 6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming - link - video lectures - textbook - A great course to learn the basics. Language…
