The 'Your Name' topic..4th January 2008 Oh, Googling your own name, I forgot about that part... I would appear to be the younger brother of Jemima Khan and thoroughly well connected financially and rather good looking in a young, early fame period Hugh Grant type way. Lucky bastard! :D |

The 'Your Name' topic..3rd January 2008 Google Forklift Fred and you'll find me at the top! Rather bazaar considering there is a forkliftfred.com and a whole forklift company that uses the name! My creation and use of the name was completely independent of any other occurrence and frankly my s*snip* |

The official 'OMG! WTF!? Snow!!' thread3rd January 2008 We've had it cold here but no snow. You don't need snow to be cold. In fact you don't tend to get snow if it's too cold... I want snow, and I want it settled when I wake up! Oh well, I can dream... |

The 'Thank You' Thread2nd January 2008 I must admit, the financial side of things completely passed me by but all the forum coding and tweaks and weekly workshops. All hail to the father of SoCoder. Oh and he seems to be a reasonably nice guy too. It's quite sickening! :p :D Many thanks and*snip* |

Tetris1st January 2008 OK... I took a look and there are several issues to address. First of all, you should only use Cls and Flip once every cycle so I would suggest removing all the ones within functions and put Cls at the start of your "While Not KeyHit(1)" loop and Flip at t*snip* |

Tetris29th December 2007 Very true. It's more complicated than you might first think but it's as good a place to start as any, just to see how things go together. Anyone starting out shouldn't expect their first project to amount to a great deal. If you are simply running through *snip* |

Screen Resolutions?29th December 2007 Well, as I said, I use it and for my sanity I just measured a few squares on my screen and they all measured up perfectly... The problem, if there is one, is down to the coder's implementation of scaling which isn't really an issue when it comes to 3D as *snip* |

Screen Resolutions?29th December 2007 I've just replaced my mobo and stuck with the onboard gfx for the time being. The lowest it will go is 800 x 600 which is what I code to (for some archaic arbatery reason)my full range is as follows: 800 x 600 960 x 600 1024 x 768 1088 x 612 1152 x 86*snip* |

How to get back into game programming?27th December 2007 Wednesday Workshops did the trick for me I think. Having spent a couple of years away from coding games, just a dabble here and there for web gallery automation and basic file handling, I wanted to get back into the games I was making before I got distrac*snip* |

WM003 - Christmas (Already!)21st December 2007 I've been sick all week so I can't see mine being anywhere near ready before I go away on Sunday. (Also, now my snowmen work, they suddenly move 2000 units along one axis for no reason!) |

RotateZoomer?21st December 2007 First of all, you need to change your If...Then section. Either use a second variable set before the loop: [code]DISTANCE=0.6 While... ... If SHIFT>20 Then DIR=-DISTANCE If SHIFT<0 Then DIR=+DISTANCE ... Wend[/code] or simply combine t*snip* |

Age old Collision problems!14th December 2007 To put this one to bed (and myself, looking at the time!) For whatever reason, I now have the player using ellipsoid-to-polygon collisions but the snowman needs ellipsoid-to-box. No idea why. Possibly the number of faces on the walls (they are now simply *snip* |

Age old Collision problems!14th December 2007 Again, thank you. I'm struggling with fixing my PC and finishing Xmas shopping so have still not been able to get back to this.

Age old Collision problems!13th December 2007 Right, thanks guys. Unfortunately, since my last post, I've shut down my PC and the damn thing won't start again! No power at all :( (PSU has been tested as OK so it's been identified as a MotherBoard problem.) This means that I've been unable to get back*snip* |

Age old Collision problems!13th December 2007 Thanks, some how I thought that would be the case... Any ideas what it might be? I'll post the lot if I have to but why should it detect the collision and stop (or slide depending on what I have it set to) but then get stuck? There's very little involving*snip* |

Age old Collision problems!12th December 2007 I know, I know. Everyone's been there and it's probably the most common problem area but I've spent the last few hours practically tearing my hair out on what should be a simple thing. If the snowman hits anything it should turn and move off in a differen*snip* |

Guess Who? cards?11th December 2007 I was thinking either "starts with letter...", "ends with letter..." "Contains letter..."
