I'm currently working on a Twin Stick Shooter but I encountered a problem on the rotation of my player. The rotation snap on right angles. I'm guessing it's a problem due to the value that the joystick gives me back. via GIPHY This is my code: void FixedUpdate() { float hR = gamepad.Get...

the allegro is not drawing the bitmap even if the condidition is true for(int i=0;i<20;i++) { for(int j=0;j<20;j++) { if(b.mmat[i][j]=='0') {fprintf(fp,"ok"); al_draw_bitmap(image,i*20,j*20,0);} } } al_flip_display();

Quite a lot of game allow user to play in a "borderless fullscreen window" instead of a "fullscreen mode". I've been wondering. Why would one prefer a fullscreen window over the "built-in" fullscreen mode? Simple test of my own showed me, that using fullscreen mode instead yields better perform...

I have been learning JS for about 3 months. I've been building a basic single-player idle grind game. The idea for a multiplayer part is simple: Join a clan leader starts a raid 4 other players from the clan accept the invitation and they all mine some difficult ore together All I need to upd...

Hello, I am completely new to game development so please bear with my newbie question. Image 1 shows how the bullets should look when shooting, one bullet coming from the sides (the black dots). How should I calculate the xy coordinates when turned on the side like in Image 2? cannon = instan...

I'd like to implement the player in my game as an FSM as described in this guide to programming patterns in games. What is the best way to accomplish this? Should I implement each state as a monobehaviour with a state interface that can be enabled/disabled when the state transitions? Or would i...

So, I've gotten platform and slope collision working in my game, but now I'm trying to work on the combination of the two of them. To list it out specifically: Like a platform, you can jump up through a slope from the bottom and the sides When landing on top of the slope, you collide with it an...

In some games you are unable to play on the harder difficulties before complete it on a lower difficulty. Why? Achievements are popular. In some games you do not get an achievement for completing the game on the hardest difficulty (e.g. Bethesda RPG's) but for just about everything else, Why?

This question might be naive, I'm just making sure I grasp the API. Suppose you have an array of 3 objects Is array.get(o) the same as array.first(); and array.get(2) the same as array.peek()? Suppose you have an object moving on screen Is array.get(o).x the same as array.get(o).getX() By...

Can anyone please tell me What to use to save data for Android.I have too much data to save(many npc-enemy stats) also it should work after updating I read on stack overflow that In Binarformatter when you update or change the class. Your old settings might be lost since the classes no longer mat...

I'm currently trying to implement In-App Purchases in my app. They're working fine, until I uninstall the app and reinstall it or switch devices. At this point, the IAPs are not restored to the user like they're supposed to do. From the Unity documentation: On platforms that support it (e.g....

I imported .fbx file to my internal format. It takes too long. I used profiler to find out why. It turnes out the most called functions are: FbxNode::Create() FbxAnimEvaluator::GetNodeGlobalTransform() FbxNode::EvaluateGlobalBoundingBoxMinMaxCenter() I managed to improve performance by cachin...

Ill try to keep this short: Currently im certified unfit for work, and this state will last about a year. I want to start creating video games. I worked as junior software developer in java about 3 years ago, but my programming skills are rusted, and i never programmed games before. My tools of...

Suppose I have an array of 5 objects, each time the touches the screen I generate a new array and save the previous objects in another array. Is there a way to check if the object align perfectly on only axis with a reasonable error margin and detect objects wrongfully aligned? I could do it us...

What is the best way how to perform intersection test between triangular-prism (used as bounding "box") and line-segment (NOT ray)? The triangular prism is not axis-aligned and it is stored as a triangle (3x 3D coordinates) and the height of the triangle? If you advise me some "mathematicaly" op...

I am doodling on the Flying game template on UE4. I am making a 2D radar on top left. Radar's north direction is the pawn's forward direction. So when it approaches to an object with the dotProduct value of 1, dot representing the enemy object on the map has to approach from direction (0, -1) on ...

We have these two tags: state: 120 questions, one synonym (states), a description "Generally used in correlation with a state machine." fsm: 49 questions, a description "Finite State Machines model game flow, AI behaviour, or other processes using a set of discrete states and transitions betwee...

as u may know In most game engines (Unity, UE4) if we select a model and press F, camera moves and focuses to the selected model, I want to implement that on my models. I have a perspective camera and world space bounding box of the model, how can I get an appropriate distance to cover the entir...
