BSP trees allow more assumptions to be made that cut down on the number of calculations needed to determine collision, so although it is more complicated and requires more construction time, it is faster (hence your benchmark results).

A .dll won't give you much advantage other than you can compile it separately from the rest of the program. You'll need to start a new project using a Game Library as your template, and implement your classes in there. Then add a reference to your main project to the .dll, and then access the classes by ''DLLName.ClassName'' or if you put ''using ...

You could compile a .dll file with additional code for your game exernal from the .exe, but you can't run raw uncompiled code in your game. That would require an interpreter of some sort.

Throws InvalidOperationException upon program launch. My system exceeds the requirements. From the stack trace it looks like Direct3D is throwing it.

XNA doesn't natively support skinned meshes, so you'll have to follow the skinned mesh sample to get your bones to deform the face mesh.

 One thing that may be causing problems is that you are doing a == test on two floats in the main if clause, and the chances of two floats being exactly equal is quite improbable. I doubt this test would ever pass. Try using a range like if (Math.Abs(float1 - float2) < 0.1f){ ... }Please elaborate on what the AI does once it gets in range.

You'll be more likely to get help if someone doesn't have to go digging through your code just to find what you're talking about. Paste the faulty code snippet here and more people will be able to take a look at it and offer a solution.

asmo:I can not give you the gameplay details yet, but here are two screens of the game Megachile Pluto we are currently working on:Screen 1Screen 2This a very early alpha build, mind you! Alot of coders art.Very cool. Looking forward to see how this one plays.

Content still very early WIP. More info here.

I'm putting a bug-reporting system in my project that basically runs a try/catch block at the bottom of the stack and then if an exception is thrown, I display ''Sorry, it goofed'' on the screen and then launch the functionGuide.ShowComposeMessage(PlayerIndex.One, e.ToString().Substring(0, 255), null);The last parameter defines who the message ...
