Writing a massive SO question with screenshots and code and proper formatting only to realise that you're an idiot and your problem was simple all along right before hitting post means that you're doing it right.

I have a friend who once worked somewhere where they had a "commit bear". A teddy bear that you had to bring to your desk and verbally explain your changes to, before you were allowed to commit them to source control.

I'm still sort of boggling at this question: gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/49975/…

that answer looks correct

@Trevor: Why so, in particular?

@TrevorPowell I'm pretty sure both answers are correct, I mean you can implement screenshot using both those methods.
though I also prefer panda's

agreed

How do you implement taking a screenshot using render-to-texture? :)

it would still need some readback function that stalls the GPU and isn't described there
any screenshot function would probably do that but it's possible to just set a flag that saves a screenshot right before buffer swap

@snake5 Link?

to what? it's an algorithm

We're talking about OpenGL.

more specifically opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glGetTexImage.xml

Maybe if that had been specified in the answer. :)
snake5

yeah, it's the RTT equivalent of pixel loading
which wasn't added there
kind of makes the whole answer pointless
Trevor Powell

Anyhow. No big deal. Just a little baffled.

:) you can go and improve the answer :)

I was a little baffled one time too many and so I'm not writing any answers anymore :P
...and now, whenever I am, it's at least not personal :P

startup that doesn't run out of money - now that's a miracle

hey, I have I little problem with my Visual Studio 2012. I (probably)did everything from here: ysgard.net/2011/06/visual-studio-2010-c-express-and-libtcod but when I'm trying to compile my super-uber simple code visual studio throws "error LNK1104: cannot open file 'SDL.lib'"
