Sorry for my ignorance by the way.

You can't really "walk around" a panoramic image. (I'm guessing your on about a program which scrolls panoramic images.) Though a series of panoramic images can be used (like in Myst III); movement isn't smooth. You would have to have a panoramic shot of every possible position the user co...

I loved reading this thread more than any thread that came before it.

JP, where can I get a copy of your bible? I see a cult in the making.

Cheers for the fast reply JP. The jobs for Blitz. I've not applyed for the job yet no, i'm getting a demo together first. I do have bits and bobs of games i've made in the past but I doubt their suitable. Though I might be able to reuse some of the code. I understand about adding something to a clas...

Advice from those of you in the games industry?

I'm applying for Junior Programmer vacancy which asks for an impressive Demo rather than actual qualifications. What type of game would you recommend as being suitable. I hear a remake of a classic retro game is a good idea but I'm unsure on some things; such as, should I keep it 2D or would a 3D re...

Hi Halifax... this looks like it's coming along really well. Well done. About the Linux version... I'd be willing to help with that if you want. Send me a PM if you do.

Keep up the good work. :)

By the way, Irrlicht is NOT a "3d game engine". There's a lot more to a game engine than just the graphics. Espeically one which aims to be for an MMO. Do you have the resources to run an MMO? Money? Time? Harware? Can you think for yourself? You've used a template from game dev and filled...

When you have your project set up, save it as a template and then load that template next time you need. I think you can do that in bloodshed... sorry if you cant, its been a while since i used it, Code::Blocks is much better in my opinion.
