  • Re: True life likeness stymied by lack of time, money or imagination?

    www.itchstudios.com/psg I like the game ideas of this guy a lot as well as his various panty themed renditions of classic video game characters. If he could somehow find the technology to clone himself several hundreds of times, I'm sure I would be able to play one of his concepts within the next couple of decades. [quote ...

  • Re: Object Collision with tiles

    In my game I have static environment objects in a list separate from the player/enemies. Then I loop through the list of player/enemies and check them against eachother and then against the environment. While checking a player/enemy against another player/enemy I compare the positions and if they're equal then I know that I'm checking one ...

  • Re: Problem with my simplistic collision code deal.

    Yeah, not such a great place to put it. To be honest, I don't know much about the UnloadContent() method so I can't explain very deeply why you shouldn't put it in there. I'm not even sure how putting mysprite.velocity in there actually worked because UnloadContent() should've only been called when you exited your program. I ...

  • Re: XNA Books

    The title for that book ought to be "I made a game called The Dishwasher and here's how I did it." I don't think it's intended to be general how-to on 2d sidescrollers, though obviously it would go over directly applicable concepts like map editors, collision, and other stuff. If you check out the amazon.com reviews, ...

  • Re: Problem with my simplistic collision code deal.

    Check out your Update() method in main.cs. Update() is called 60 times a second and holds your game logic. Now head a couple lines into Update() and see where you have the lines setting each sprite's velocity to -10,-10 and 10,10. That's where your problem lies. The velocity doesn't stay inverted because every time you invert it, ...

  • Re: RPG System with platform based game?

    Since it's the RPG elements you're most interested, maybe you'd find the below book interesting. One of the more active board members here is the author and if you check out the table of contents in the preview there are a lot of interesting RPG features that it goes over. The book ultimately builds a top-down tiled RPG, but it should ...
