    My RTS

    lol I'm not that good :P ... admitedly I'm not that bad though ;) .. I'm getting there, almost ready for a preview of the terrain renderer. I'm still trying to optimize it, trying to find the most resource efficient way of rendering only a part of the map at a time. And I'm trying to find the...

    Planning on buildiing a new computer?

    >> btw, pci express for AMD is still a way off so i think adoption by manufacturers will be slow. pci isn't dead yet, 133mb/s is more than good enough for modem, sound card, 100/10 network, which is what most ppl have. << What about nVidia nForce 4 based boards? They are supposed to be...

    Planning on buildiing a new computer?

    >> would rather just run two hardrives in raid 0, rather than SATA2 (which is a long way off)<< Not according to the developer website I was reading, it is due out Q4 this year.

    Planning on buildiing a new computer?

    Damnit, it's not fair ..I support ATI because they support me (I'm a registered developer) ... nVidia snobbed me and now they are being sooo damn tempting with that stupid SLI thing... It's driving me nuts! I didn't know that they were infact going ahead with it, because of the need for an...

    Planning on buildiing a new computer?

    Ok if any of you are planning on building a beast of a game machine (like me!) I just thought I should tell you people to wait. There is a lot of good technology coming out between now and December which is good for those wanting a cheap desktop and those wanting a beast. PCI Express will...

    Laptops!!!

    Well if you go for a dell you have 2 entry level options - The Inspiron 600m (2.5kg) - $1899 or Inspiron 1150 (3.3kg) - $1399 I'd really recommend the 600m though. Better performance in everything than the 1150 with the exception of battery power usage but that difference is only marginal.

    My RTS

    I'm not quite sure about the pace of the game yet I'm still really focussing on the engine ... however it won't take much to alter the pace of it, just edit the data files for the units to change resource expenditure and speeds, health and damage etc .. I've just decided that I'm going to go...

    My RTS

    Well I've been working extra hard and seeing as we are in our last week before holidays the teachers are giving up a little bit more slack so I've had more time to put into the RTS. So far I've rewritten the game engine 3 times and you know what they say, third time's a charm! The latest...
