Hi Ken, Sure. The game developers list is on usagamesinteractive.com. However, since assuming control of Audyssey I was planning on moving the list over to Audyssey since that seems like a more appropriate place for us game developers to hang out and swap code samples and programming techniques.

Mmm. Knowlege! Yum! I take it, then, that to do spheres, you would first figure it on the x/y plain, then the x/z plain? Is that right, or am I totally missing something? Also, (and maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew with this one,) I've been thinking of making an accessible shuffleboard

Hi Wayne, The problem has to do with Jim Kitchen's installers. They install games to c:\Program Files\Kitchensinc when they are suppose to go in c:\Program files x86\Kitchensinc on a 64-bit operating system. If you go to c:\Program Files\Kitchensinc and move all the files to c:\Program Files

Hi Ken, All the GMA and PCS games are in 22050, 16 bit format. However if the sound is too small say 0.0002 of a second it will not play. And with DirectX it will crash if you try to pan a stereo file. It must be mono. Phil - Original Message - From: Ken The PionEar kenwdow...@me.com

2013-04-25 Thread Ken The PionEar
Well, I've experienced both sides to the problem of input, and directinput clearly loses. For one thing, the arrow keys stick in JAWS's jaws, and nothing happens. Second, you only get to press keys, not hold them down. The bad side of the form input though is that you can only hold one key down

Hi Ken, The solution for that problem is a boolean array. When a key down event is called for that key you set the array index for that key to true, and when a key up event is called for that key you reset its index to false. If you use an array you can test for multiple keys at a time, and use
