Beef up my Java/C/C++ knowledge and experience

07/15/2011 04:21 AM

If you want to jump into graphical stuff face first then I would suggest: http://www.sfml-dev.org/
Even if you don't know what you're doing, if you have graphics you will be much more motivated to learn, I was anyway.

It's really easy to use too, for example, have some C++;

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
 
 int main()
 {
     sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");
 
     sf::Image image;
     if (!image.LoadFromFile("a_sprite.png"))
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
     sf::Sprite sprite(image);
 
     while (window.IsOpened())
     {
         sf::Event event;
         while (window.GetEvent(event))
         {
             if (event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                 window.Close();
         }

         window.Clear(sf::Color(0,0,0,255));
         window.Draw(sprite);
         window.Display();
     }
 
     return EXIT_SUCCESS;
 }

That's all it takes to create a window and draw an image;

rpgmaker.net needs your help!

Perhaps games should be hosted offsite on something like megaupload, and then linked back here to cut costs? (Or are they already? :v)

has anyone here used RPGToolkit

Not many games get made with it. So that's why you don't see any.
It has pretty limited graphical support (no alpha) and the default audio support is horrible, but there is a FMOD plugin.

I really wouldn't recommend it over things like Gamemaker (even though I haven't used Gamemaker much at all, going by games other people have made it seems more capable.)

Real men use hex editors.

Americanization

03/20/2011 02:05 AM

So did they only change the cover or the actual content of the game? I tried to find some screens of the Japanese version but couldn't. Seems like a pretty dickish thing to do if someone buys a game expecting something that looks like the cover but instead gets something completely different.

Also the mouths and makeup on the American version creeps me the flip out. l:
