• Visual Studio 2005 IDE: No MRU List

  Hi all This is really starting to bug me now and despite a few hours of searching I can find no solution! I installed 2005 IDE and all is working fine except for the fact that whenever a project is created, loaded or saved the Project MRU list on the start page remains empty. I have seen much about the lack of being able to remove them and checked that the appropriate registry key was created, i.e: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectMRUList This key exists and yet using RegMon the IDE never seems to attempt a write to that location. What worries me is that if this is not working, there may be a few other "foibles" I have not yet found. For info: The desktop on which it was installed was instal ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vector Math Help

  I'm having a problem...I have a ship heading in a direction VectorA and a gravitational force pulling it towards an object, when it collides with that object, I need to bounce it off that object into the correct direction, (180 - angle of collision), but I cant figure out how to get it to head in the proper direction at the correct speed. if (shipBounds.Intersects(sphereBounds) == true ) { double yoffset; double xoffset; double returnangle; yoffset = ( double )(playerShip.Position.Y - sphere1.Position.Y); xoffset = ( double )(playerShip.Position.X - sphere1.Position.X); returnangle = Math .Atan(yoffset / xoffset); returnangle = (double)MathHelper.ToRadians(180) - returnangle; playerShip.Velocit ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Not Using Vector2 in my 2D Game Engine

  I just recently changed, oh, about a 1000 lines of code in my game engine. Instead of using Vector2 for things like position and size, I decided to use floats instead. Does anyone else use Vector2's as their main position and size data types in their 2D game Right now, I have the code for both versions, and I'm trying to make entirely sure floats are the way to go before throwing one of them away. Any comments Since Vector2 is just a pair of floats it will use up the same space as two separate float variables. This is no different in .NET than in C++. So, I cannot see why it would be less efficient to use the struct vs float vars. ...Show All
