And this one is integrating physX on an RTS:

Check Warboard 3D as reference.

The demo out there is hotseat (two players in the same computer). Adding networking support should not be too complex, as turn based games do not have strict requirements like real time games.

I don't think so, and it's quite annoying.

Yeah, my apologies.

Anyway, I wanted to add a few lines about the QPC, so ..

Hey guys, who do you think I am? Of course I´m not using frame speed, that would be insane nowadays. I use proper timers. I can´t recall now, and have not code at hand, but I´m probably using QueryPerformanceCounter. I remember it has some problems under certain processors, or probably 64bits archit...

Stay tunned. It will take long, but will surely publish.

Thanks for the interest.

I plan to write an article about it, so let me just say a few words:

I created a high level scripted AI with thousands of rules. The GAs were designed to build their AI from these rules, optimizing the overall team behavior to win their opponents.

@doqkhanh I used IrrSpintz. Now renamed to 3demon. A modified Irrlicht version. Versions won't match at all. [ http://www.3demon.net/ ] @Revan1985 Very interesting. I finished the game with a genetic algorithms evolved AI, which resulted to be very dumb (well, lets say, just easy to beat), and I hav...

Calculate angle from the vector X to the normal (vector with angle 0, which should be 1,0 for 2D or 1,0,0 or 0,0,1 for 3D with Y upwards, depending the anle you need). You may use acos( X dot Normal ) to get the angle (without sign) or atan2( X.y, X.x ) [for 2D. 3D-> z,x or x,z] to get it signed. Th...

Hi! 1.2 bugs: -terrain-patches don't render -problem: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/9897/beforepb5.jpg -when you move the camera slightly: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5954/afterkf5.jpg I had this problem with irrspintz (here) . The solution was to increase the scale of the world or to u...

You can avoid using the if statement using a container without null pointers. It's not the if itself, but looping for a bunch of elements that will never meet the condition.

A pointer to the static data or an indexed array both may work. Even the duplicated data in favor of performance instead of memory consumption. But anyway, i would recommend that if you are making the high level part of the game (player inventory is high level) go with the OO solution. Indexed array...

Think Luke suggested make every method virtual even when shape base class wont need it (that's the case of GetZ), so you can use them somewhere out of the Shape scope to update shapes. That's not the same approach than having a unique Update method that is different for every shape.

Just quoting you: Which works fine. But that doesn't represent the kind of abstraction I need for my actual game. You see, I need a complex hierarchy of classes, and each class that represents a kind of entity that will exist in the world needs an update() function. // As your quote // <<a kind of e...
