Z ordering24th June 2016 I have a bunch of game objects* -- player, enemies, bullets, etc. -- some of which are stored in structured linked lists (a list of enemies, list of bullets, etc.) Each of these objects is of a structured type containing a field to store its y coordinate.*snip* |

Separating Input and Movement22nd June 2016 Thanks for the reply, Jay! I'm not actually dealing with collision checks yet but that's good information, much appreciated. I've read about setting up a grid, in which each space has its own list of contents updated as objects move around. I *snip* |

Separating Input and Movement21st June 2016 Hi all! It's been a while. I'm doing a top-down 2D game and I have the player object moving around in 8 directions. As it stands, I have a function that checks to see if the requisite keys have been pressed and, if so, moves the player. All good.*snip* |

Trying to learn Music Composition, again.17th August 2015 You're welcome :) Your song has a nice rhythm to it and the sound reminds me of early '80s games. I like it. |

Trying to learn Music Composition, again.16th August 2015 musictheory.net is a good site with free, concise lessons and exercises. There are also a number of YouTube channels devoted to teaching musical composition. Here is one video that's part of a series: (Linkage) My advice is to study, starting with*snip* |

Purebasic — no 'Viewport'?17th July 2015 Get this — Purebasic has the following command: ClipOutput(x, y, width, height) But it doesn't work with sprites, only 2D drawing operations (lines, circles, DrawText, etc.). Bah! It should also work with a loaded 'Image' (slower than *snip* |

Purebasic — no 'Viewport'?16th July 2015 Wow, rockford, well done getting AnimImage into GLBasic! I wish I had the coding skills for something like that. I have asked at the official forums. So far, I've gotten one response -- a link with some sample code that seems to show two viewports, ea*snip* |

Purebasic — no 'Viewport'?16th July 2015 Hi all, So I was pretty well settled on using Purebasic, and there's much I like about it. When I finally got around to playing with the game libraries, I was a little surprised not finding an equivalent to the 'AnimImage' commands from Blitz.*snip* |

Knackered!!16th July 2015 Yeah, keep at it but don't stress yourself too much. A little each day will do wonders. My job is quite sedentary (at a desk all day) and I find that even one 15-minute walk makes me feel a lot better, less tired and more focused. |

Screen scaling13th July 2015 Steve, Thanks for the answer, and the very clear example! I'm going to convert it to PB and see what it looks like. The approach I was trying and failing to implement was to do all rendering for a given frame, at the original size, to a buffer, then *snip* |

Screen scaling13th July 2015 Hi all. It's been a while! You know how emulators like MAME, ZSNES and the like can run in full screen mode with bilinear filtering and scanlines? Does anyone know how a similar effect could be achieved in PureBasic? I mean, is there a way to do all *snip* |

Hacking Controllers - Part 21st April 2014 Your hypothesis is supported by Jay's and my observations. If the lag were strictly a hardware issue, I'd expect it to be consistent over time. |

Hacking Controllers - Part 231st March 2014 Wow, that's amazing! Great work. I have an Ouya (received it as a birthday gift from a friend). I hardly have time to play games these days but I did try some of the emulators and the controller latency was quite noticeable at times. Funny thing is, it do*snip* |
