I would say it's because C++ is, among major languages, the one that works at the highest level, without sacrificing access to low level control. In C++ you have complete control of what is going on …

I don't know how old that writeup is, but I'd say it's pretty old. In modern Windows (XP and newer, but specially on 64-bit versions), I would say doing something like that will have little to negativ …

Visual Studio Professional has a "Setup project" type of project that creates a Windows Installer (msi) setup program. For versions up to 2010, it was bundled, and for 2013, there is an extension whic …

Chuck Walbourn's answer is correct, but to give you a bit more context, the texture you're creating with pDevice->CreateTexture2D is not the same as what you're getting with pSwapChain->GetBuffer. Wit …

Unfortunately no, you can't define multiple variables with the same name. Suppose the compiler lets you do so, but when you're going to use it, how do you know which one are you talking about? So in …

As always, it depends. Generally speaking, an algorithm implemented in C# should not perform worse than in C/C++ for arbitrarily large inputs. Using a "fast" language is not a substitute for a good a …

glBufferData() overwrites the previous data, and is generally what you should use to load new data into a GL buffer. Conceptually it is similar to overwriting data in an array. glDeleteBuffers() and …

You're out of luck. There is nothing wrong in your code, and there's nothing you can do in your code to guarantee any set of arbitrary lines will always meet perfectly by using the technique you are u …

Scripting is a programming abstraction in which you (conceptually) have a program (the script) running inside another program (the host). In most cases, the language in which you write the script is d …

I'm not sure if this question is appropriate for this site, but I'll give you my take. First, kudos on making your game! I am all for doing stuff yourself if you can't find anybody else to do it. Yo …

Precisely, to repeat a texture. So, if you have a quad, and the texture coordinates go from 0 to 1, the texture will be drawn once. If the coordinates go from 0 to 2 and wrap is set to GL_REPEAT, the …

I'm not so sure if I understood your problem right, but I'll try to answer anyways. gluLookAt(), as its name implies, creates a view matrix for a camera, and takes three vectors as parameters. The f …
