The second and third sections will focus on using the basic lighting API in a game. The last section will delve into an application that will make use of the concepts and API introduced in the first two sections. That is the outli...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Basic-Lighting-in-OpenGL-and-SDL-Game-Programming/?kc=rss Wed, 05 Dec 2007 09:00:56 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Working-with-Colors-in-OpenGL-for-Game-Programming-with-SDL/?kc=rss - The next two discussions (starting with the current article) will be dedicated to the details and the usage of colors in OpenGL. The first section of this discussion will focus on modes available for color. The second section will explain how to use these modes from within OpenGL. The third secti...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Working-with-Colors-in-OpenGL-for-Game-Programming-with-SDL/?kc=rss Tue, 28 Aug 2007 09:00:47 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Animation-in-OpenGL-for-Game-Programming-using-SDL/?kc=rss - In other words, the APIs of OpenGL follow the nomenclature of trigonometry and motion used by physics and mathematics. It also means having a good base in math (especially co-ordinate geometry and trigonometry) and physics is also a requirement. Therefore, in this discussion the first two section...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Animation-in-OpenGL-for-Game-Programming-using-SDL/?kc=rss Tue, 10 Jul 2007 09:00:47 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Game-Programming-with-SDL-Getting-Started-with-OpenGL/?kc=rss - SDL is the foundation on which a game can be built without much ado. However, SDL is not complete in itself. It just provides certain services that allow the interaction between various components of a game/simulation, as well as the games interaction with the OS, to become seamless. If there are no...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Game-Programming-with-SDL-Getting-Started-with-OpenGL/?kc=rss Wed, 16 May 2007 09:00:47 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Using-OpenGL-with-SDL-for-Game-Programming/?kc=rss - In the current plethora of 3D libraries, OpenGL stands out for various reasons. The most significant of these is its compatibility with almost all platforms and graphics cards. This is reflected even in the architecture of SDL as SDL can create and use OpenGL contexts on several platforms. Such ar...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Using-OpenGL-with-SDL-for-Game-Programming/?kc=rss Tue, 27 Mar 2007 09:00:47 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Learning-Sound-for-Game-Programming-using-SDL/?kc=rss - A game without audio is like a buffet without spice. Without sound bytes games can be played, but they would fail to providing an immersive environment. Before the coming of SDL, sound effects were either very complex to implement or very limited in output. Then came SDL with its core and extende...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Learning-Sound-for-Game-Programming-using-SDL/?kc=rss Mon, 05 Feb 2007 09:00:46 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Game-Programming-using-SDL-Raw-Graphics-and-Event-Handling/?kc=rss - Graphics and handling user inputs -- the combination that creates the symphony we call a game. A game world where these two are out of phase ends in cacophony. In the previous article I discussed the various parameters that go into creating a screen and loading bitmapped images onto the screen....]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Game-Programming-using-SDL-Raw-Graphics-and-Event-Handling/?kc=rss Wed, 27 Dec 2006 09:00:47 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Game-Programming-using-SDL-Getting-Started/?kc=rss - Game programming has come a long way since early Linux and Windows days. The time is gone when games were limited to Windows or to an extended Mac. Today portability is in the forefront, even in the gaming segment. The birth of OpenGL was the first step in this regard. But OpenGL addressed only the ...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Game-Programming-using-SDL-Getting-Started/?kc=rss Tue, 13 Apr 2004 09:43:11 -0400 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Network-Radio-With-Icecast/?kc=rss - Miracle Cure There's a very famous quotation that's been running through my head for the past couple of days: Music soothes the savage breast. In fact, it got to the point where I had to sit down and run it through Google, just to see where it originated. According to what I found, the quote is f...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Network-Radio-With-Icecast/?kc=rss Thu, 21 Nov 2002 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Learning-To-SMILe/?kc=rss - For a long time, dynamic movement on a Web site meant GIF animations, which were both tedious to create and annoying after the first three repetitions. Then came Macromedia Flash, one of the cooler authoring tools for Web animation, and, with its powerful tweening toolkit, turned drab Web site...]]> http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Multimedia/Learning-To-SMILe/?kc=rss
