Web developer by trade, but at night I'm just another hobbyist game developer working on tightening up the graphics in Level 3.

XNA 4.0 SpriteFont not displaying all Characters Try checking out what PIX shows in the DrawString step of the process. Also have you tried using the default sorting mode (SpriteSortMode.Deferred)? |

How to start creating an interface for a game in Blender or Unity? Go simpler if this is your first game. Games with such GUI components are probably out of your reach, plus you are probably not using one of the best tools for the job to make GUI components. |

Highlight edge on 3d cube in directx Has the feature of selecting edges been already implemented? Edge highlighting can be a trivial problem if you have the that feature done. |

How can I accomplish Pokemon-style movement over tiles in java? Make sure to do check for 0 < t < 1 in order to disable player input during this time. The last thing you want is seeing something unexpected if the player tries other actions during the walk, such as buffering a lot of walk actions that won't stop for a long time. |

Strongly Typed Skills I find this design flaw easier explained in an MVC context. Usually, controllers are implemented/inherited from a generic controller class and ideally contain logic unique to that controller. Your design is like making multiple controllers that have similar logic, all loading the same views, and that only differ by the data members/model data used in them. Therefore, only one controller is needed. |

How do you stop an Ogre PSSM shader from creating unwanted or blocky shadows due to large 'world size' It's true that PSSM only differs from CSM in how the splits are generated, but you should attempt to increase the res of the closest maps only. This gives you more headroom to use even larger textures without increasing overall memory usage much. |

Bejeweled-like game, managing different gem/powerup behaviors? I second this object oriented approach for this problem. More specifically, use the Strategy pattern for the inherited objects. Although using events may be more straightforward in some languages. |

Why is my deferred lighting implementation so expensive? Definitely consider using shapes for lights, because performance on deferred lighting is mostly fill-rate dependent. It will also offer more flexibility, like using shapes other than circles for different sorts of area lights. |
