I have decided to take a quick detour from my primary game development, to illustrate how to create a more simplistic 2D game using C++. I am going to cover it over a number of posts, each building on the last and if you follow along, hopefully at the end you will be well […]
Alright, code time! In this part we are going to setup the general framework for our application. Pang! is going to be state driven, which means at any given time the game is in exactly one state. It is by changing states that we control program flow. It also makes certain tasks like […]
This part is sadly rather dull, there will be absolutely no coding but it is a necessary evil. In this part we are going to configure your development environment to work with SFML. If you already know all about how to set Visual Studio up, or are working in a different IDE, feel free […]

Now that we covered the basic building blocks of 3D modeling, lets look at what we can do with them. At it’s core, 3D modeling is pretty straight forward and is built around a few core operations. Although the names may change from application to application, the following instruction should be applicable to any […]
This section covers the basic building blocks and common terminology in the 3D world, although they way they are used changes from program to program, all of these constructs or terms are encountered in just about every 3D application you may pick.
