AGK, Game Coding Enthusiasm Returns

Do these issues perhaps come forth out of our experience with previously common techniques, while all this is for instance more shader based openGL stuff, with a lot of things emulating the DX way but underneath the hood is done very differently?

..i was thinking about that, but then, you realize that there are commands designed for exactly what im looking for, but they do not really work as one expecting and it seems to be an issue with other people as well, which are 'native' AGK users..i mean..how complex assigning texture can be?? Right ??

True.

No, my C++ program simply stopped working. All I now get is a white screen, with a black rectangle

I thought it was my new code at first, but I've commented out nearly all code and it seems AGK has corrupted my project somehow.

I'm not tempted to try and build a new project at this time *sigh*

Re-wrote it in C++/SDL 2

No hassles, runs around 3000 FPS on my rig...Sometimes you've just got to do it the hard way. I'm done with these quick fixes.

That sucks.. No autosave?

I've heard of corruption after a Google search - just to see if it wasn't just me.

I can't help but being surprised at how many FPS I get on my old rig, even with putting on real-time selfshadow, physics and animated characters..
This really blows B3D+FastLibraries out of the water and is putting the fun back in. (see post here: http://www.syntaxbomb.com/index.php/topic,3396.msg5881.html#msg5881)

Looks they really got things going with the 3d stuff.

Only thing I didn't add to this one is the terrain and water yet. That will probably give it a punch. But we'll see..
