    Rotating A Vector Around Another Vector

    Say I have a 2D vector 'C' which is located at (0,0), and a second 2D vector 'O' which should 'orbit' around 'C' at angle 'A' and at a distance of 'D'. How would this be implemented? Preferably without using matrices, as they go strait over my head :(. Thanks.

    Does The Psp Have Any Games?

    Crisis core is OK, but the battles get boring very quickly, the tern based system from the original is much better.

    Compressing/decompressing Image Data In Real-time

    I have a 2D game which is currently written using Irrlicht, and am thinking of re-writing in SDL. An ongoing problem Ive had with it is the very high ram usage(around a gig), this is partly caused by Irrlichts power of 2 limitation(hence re-writing in SDL), requiring the use of a large amount of...

    Blog Update - Look! It's A Desktop!

    Couple of things that are obvious in the video: 1) The touch screen dissent appear to be very accurate. 2) On soutch a small screen the user interfaces will need a lot of optimising, basically getting rid of everything that is not absolutely nesoserry, In the videos the screen will look bigger...

    Gentoo Linux

    I don't see any advantage to using Gentoo on a device line the pandora, where every unit is exactly the same. It would be perfectly possible to create a optimised binary distro like Arch. Which would also save a lot of unnesoserry compiling.

    Video Production - Any Experts Around Here?

    If you can find a camera that shoots in progressive, in the modern age of digital displays interlacing is useless, and only reduces the quality. To get a clean key you want the footage to be compressed as little as passable, DV/HDV/miniDVD are all chroma sub sampled, so often produce pixalated...

    Hmmm Should I Quit C++ To Learn Python?

    Python is interpreted, interpreted languages are slower then compiled languages. For game development you normally use a graphics lib/game engine such as irrlicht/crystal space. which does most of the hard work for you anyway. personally I find python, and other higher level languages to be...

    So How Did You Guys Learn To Dev & Where?

    First think of something you want to program, no-matter how ambitious it may seem. Then work out how to implement it. that's what I did anyway.
