C# XNA Handle mouse events? If you need to write your own GUI system, I would suggest making an immediate mode GUI where elements are defined by functions, instead of a bulkier, object-based GUI, especially if it will be used in a game and not a tool for the game. You usually don't need anything more complex than that. |

What makes a game look “good”? "The higher you make the graphical resolution, polygon count, colour depth and whatnot, the easier it is for your game to look terrible." I think this statement ties with the uncanny valley effect... it's not just for humans or other characters. |

Adjust Keyboard input to match look direction? What does the W key do in side-scrolling mode? Make the character jump, or is it a special 'up' movement for things like climbing ladders? |

A Quick HLSL Question (How to modify some HLSL code) Use the white ring texture for a mask. RGB values would be the same for a given pixel since mask textures are usually grayscale. The R component represents the luminance value of the mask, and the color weight also equals luminance. |

A Quick HLSL Question (How to modify some HLSL code) The color weight needs to correspond to the presence of color in the ring. In places where the ring's color exists, set the weight to 1, and where the pixels are completely black or transparent, the weight should be 0. |

Merging adjacent cubes into large ones + 1 on hidden surface removal. Might just be best to batch all your cubes with similar textures in one buffer, and cull the hidden faces from the buffer before sending to the GPU. |
