Jan 17	comment	Sync clocks on a real time multiplayer game - Is this ok? But I just simply set the device A clock back so it syncs with the other due to the delay. Why would I want to do more pings and get the average? Setting the clock A exactly the delay time will make the 2 devices sync, I don't know if I'm missing something. This is a one-time thing i do before everything, then the clocks will update on their own deivces independantly.
Dec 19	comment	Isometric smooth fog g_pSprite is of type LPD3DXSPRITE . The load sprite method i just do `D3DXCreateSprite( g_pD3DDevice, &g_pSprite );`And then load all necessary textures with `D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx`. I presume it's all quads, but I'm not sure. And yes, it's my program.

Dec 19	comment	Isometric smooth fog Well, the thing is that I'm no expert in direct3d, I've just started programming with this api some weeks ago. But I guess there isn't a way of accomplishing that (besides point nº 1) without being an expert of the matter.
Dec 19	comment	Isometric smooth fog So it's not a straight-forward solution...
Dec 19	comment	Isometric smooth fog @LaurentCouvidou, one thing, you are saying to set the fog matrix from 0.0 to 1.0 manually right? And not setting 0 or 1 only?
Dec 19	comment	Isometric smooth fog I've edited the original post for the code. I just draw the tile and the tile_color is like a tweak to colorize...
Dec 19	comment	Isometric smooth fog @PandaPajama , the thing is that the visible area is not centered and constant, it moves depending on the character's direction. Besides, there has to be a way that doesn't involve adding images to do the trick.
Dec 18	comment	Isometric smooth fog But what about the fog moving as the player moves, by pixel and not by tile? It's pretty much the same result as the answer below.
Dec 18	comment	Isometric smooth fog This perfectly works but the gradient is between tiles and not between pixels ina single tile.
Dec 18	comment	Isometric smooth fog I've already thought about instead of on or off tile, add some levels. But the thing is, the player moves smoothly by pixel, the map "camera" also moves by pixel. So for example, if the player moves 5 pixels, the fog should also move only 5 pixels and not wait until it moves a complete tile.
Nov 26	comment	Collision resolution - Character walking on ascendent ground Well I just want know the all the possibilities. But yeah, I understand now.
Nov 26	comment	Collision resolution - Character walking on ascendent ground How about if the plane slope is too much like this __/ The normal would get him back where he came from if we apply the 2nd method.
Nov 25	comment	Typical collision detection Well what if the wall is not facing on an axis, I think the best solution is Eric's one.
Nov 21	comment	Direct3d - Code structure I didn't mean hardcoding, I meant having to do `D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx`only in GraphicLayer. I would personally create my object classes and instance there the `LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9`. But that way if you wanted to change the renderer you'd have to change pretty much every class. That's why I'm asking, the standard way of structuring.
Apr 5	comment	How do I save data to the iPhone properly and securely? oh, so I store my data in a plist, and the checksum using NSUserDefaults? It's not singleplayer game, I'm planing on using gamecenter.
Apr 5	comment	How do I save data to the iPhone properly and securely? aren't plists easy to "hack"? because saving data to a plists and using NSUserDefaults is something completly diferent right?
Apr 5	comment	How do I save data to the iPhone properly and securely? Nice article. I won't save a lot of things, so it's better to send a string instead of NSData, ,right? That string is just all the things i want to save and more (like the udid, etc) concatenated?
Apr 5	comment	How do I save data to the iPhone properly and securely? @JohnCalsbeek, So better not to use keychain?
Apr 5	comment	How do I save data to the iPhone properly and securely? The thing is that I'm new to iOs programming, and I can't find a good source of code of encryption, or the ones I find aren't very clear for me.
