Hello,
I'm a C# programmer. I have two projects.
First, write an action scrolling game in C#, (portable to Windows Mobile
eventually...),
This game will look like The Adventure of Link from Nintendo, or Super Mario
Bros...
I didn't planned to use DirectX since all tutorials I have seen for DirectX
are for 3D.
I already wrote one version on VB6 but ran into problems which I hope .Net
will overcome.
My second one, would be to create a StrongHold clone,
this one is really big I know but the game is so nice.
I have no idea where to start on this one.
Can someone give me any advice on this ?
Does DirectX can do both games ?
Is there newsgroups, books... one could recommend for creating such games ?
I converted my VB6 game into a version for my smartphone and
already received a error message because one of my bmp file was too big...
So, I would need newsgroups, books... to help me use the best techniques and
all that.
Thanks a lot for any help, hints, advice.... ;-)

All I can tell you is I have been down that road and it is not an easy walk.
If you really want to get into game programming, I would recommend you do use
DirectX, even if your game is 2D. The catch is it will take you a good amount
of time, dedication (specially), effort and patience to fully understand
DirectX.
Good luck!

Can anyone recommend a good book that teaches how to program basic
games in C++? I have some C and C++ experience, but not too much with
graphics. The kind of game I want to write is a simple card game for
Windows. I could probably figure out all the logic, but working with
the graphics would be tough. I want a book that starts from the very
beginning as far as working with Windows and graphics. The game I

As a programming exercise I try to program a game.
In my case it is called BugEater. The purpose is that you are a snake. It
moves automatically but you can control it with the keys on your keyboard.
In the field where your snake is, there are candies that you must eat. The
more candies you eat, the longer you get.
You win if you eat all 10 candies without dying more than 3 times in one
level. In that case a time bonus is added to your...

I'm planning to give a game programming course for kids of mixed age.
For this, I am looking for an open source 2D game development kit.

Are there any good sources on video game programming in vb.net?
Is "DirectX" a set of libraries for video game programmers?
The reason I ask is that I'd like to convert a board game into a
computer game. Its a game with up to 4 players, so it seems like it
would be hard to do. After all, a computer doesn't have up to 4
mouses. And its a board game where pieces move on the board, so I'd
have to keep redrawing the board but with squares...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
