Planet Chili

I'm going to tell you this now, it's not about the math. I know everyone here is saying 3D is all about math! -It's not, it's about problem solving. Programming is only problem solving. Yes knowing math will help, and will speed your process, but what really is important is your ability to figure o...

That reminds me of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unh51VnD-hA It covers game trees, which can be used to make AI solve MANY games. I suggest taking a look through the whole playlist, as there is nothing better than free college level courses! Thanks again :) I am half way the tree-searc...

Thanks Inverse, great links. The third one is bookmarked. Both books look very good ( as far as I could see so quickly ) but I should make a choice, as I must take care of my wallet ;) About AI developement: I remember Chili told in one of his lessons about it. I am interested in that part as well a...

In the meantime, more straightforward examples of using math can be found in 2D examples. For instance, create a tank game (over-head perspective) where you can move the tank and rotate the tank upper part (cannon). Make it shoot the missiles as the correct offset to that angle and the plane of the...

You mean math in the sense of those formula's Chili thought us to calculate lines and circles? Or more basic math used to make simple calculations with subtracting, adding and multiplying? I have not much of an education and needed to learn those things by myself. I found those formula's I mentioned...

Welcome back Chili :) You haven't hear from me because I visit this fantastic forum+tutorials for only six weeks or so. But still, I am happy with your post as if I know you already quite some time ;) I was just about to learn about intermediate tutorials, so you are just in time for new tutorials J...

Looks pretty cool. A few bugs here and there. I didn't look through the code in detail but it seems really long, so I guess you could make it a lot shorter and more efficient. Using structs for point calculating could make things a lot easier, I think chili never actually taught about that stuff......

When you read his profile, you see he was here the last time at the 3rd of may.

The type of game I am looking for is the 'old' Space invaders, but on my own way
I am not sure what should be subject of a complete make-over, as I have not learned enough about DirectX. Still in lesson 20, you know....

Also understand that games programmed in the basic chiliframework are far from what an actual commercial program or game would be done, so if you plan on using it to show off programming skills then you better make something that uses more than just a few lines were you only added some points. Is t...
