Posts I've Made

  1. In Topic: C# or C++?

    Posted 19 Jan 2012

    If you want to pick up programming games as your day job, I would say that you would have to choose C++. However if you want a easier start to the world of game programming then pick up C# with either XNA or some other kind of game library.

  2. In Topic: Looking for a C#/XNA OpenGL beginner series of project based tutorials

    Posted 19 Jan 2012

    An answer on this would be great, I want to move into OpenGL for C# and this is right down my street.

    (Posting it here so it isn't a duplicate topic)

  3. In Topic: Intel's six-core processor

    Posted 15 Jan 2012

    While this looks awesome, i'll just wait until AMD releases a similar CPU for cheaper. I'm not rich :(

  4. In Topic: What are the advantages of using a tileset?

    Posted 15 Jan 2012

    Firstly, I'm not an expert on the intricate workings of XNA but I would assume that loading a 1mb file would be faster than loading 1024 1kb files. Secondly, it allows you to easily animate through sprite sheets. Thirdly it sorts images into categories. For example you could have a file that houses the player and all his/her items, then a file that houses a certain type of enemy and all its items and so on.

    Of course you don't ever have to do this if you don't want.

  5. In Topic: 2D RPG

    Posted 14 Jan 2012

    If you have found problems (as you say you have) then fix those before you look for any more.

    Aside from that, it looks pretty good, if you want to add more NPCs go for the traditional like orcs and elves.
