  Hi, I am new to C# and would like to know where I can find information on creating hexagon maps for 2D games I am interested in writing a turn based web game that will emmulate playing a board game. Players will have pieces to move around a map. etc. etc. I an currently watching microsoft's webcasts on the subject of writing games and general programming in C#. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, KWFields If you are planning on writing a web based game you will need to look at GDI+ functions and drawing pictures on the Web pages.

• .NET Development Displaying and manipulating pixels of a non-standard image

  Language: C# I have written a (small) library of image processing functions that work on a System.Drawing.Image object. Works fine for BMPs and JPEGs and PNGs and the like. Yesterday my boss told me the next step is to be able to handle proprietary formats that some of our clients use. All of them follow a basic principle: some header, then pixel values. So to get started the first file format is simply pixel values as raw data. The pixels are stored as 16-bit unsigned words. So I've read a file in through a filestream and converted them to a byte[] the length of the file stream. This works for standard images (like BMP) fine; However I cannot just create an image object from the array of raw pixels. I will need to take my pixel values an ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dynamically generated XACT projects

  I'll admit that I haven't even investigated whether this is possible or not. Figure I'll start by asking whether it's even feasible, or if there is another technique I should be thinking about. What I'm looking to do will involve dynamically generating .wav files during the build process of certain assets. Since all audio must be pre-processed via XACT, I was wondering if there was some way of programmatically generating an XACT project file, and then building it. Ideally, this will result in audio code that is both dynamic (ie. generated by the content pipeline), and compatible with the XBox 360. Thoughts That sounds feasible to me, although it will certainly involve some work :-) I'm not aware of any docs on the XACT project f ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't get debugger to work properly!

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Standard, and my C++ console program crashes unexpectedly so I am trying to use the debugger to find out the source of the problem. I set up a breakpoint, start debugging, and it breaks, but when I press F10 to step over, I get a message saying "No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed." Then it gives me an option to see the disassembly code instead . It doesn't matter where I set the breakpoint, I always get this error message. Here's the output I get from the Visual Studio console: 'MIPS Assembler.exe': Loaded 'C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\MIPS Assembler\debug\MIPS Assembler.exe', Binary was not built with ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) consideration about XamlView

  Does anyone have tried the XamlView at http://www.codeplex.com/XamlView I have tried to use this tool to view my resource dll. The xaml content can be view almost as its original. Since I am developing a smartclient application, the dlls will be deployed to client machines. So how to avoid the design to be viewed directly Any suggestions Since Xaml files is treated as manifest resources files in your assembly, AFAIK, code can be obfuscated, but resources don't. so my idea is to customize the WPF's build engine to include your dedicated building task, the dedicated task should be responsible for encrypting the generated BAML stream using whatever encryption algorithms makes sense here(or you can use other methods here to & ...Show All

• Visual C# c# InvalidProgramException

  Hi, I am auto-generating large (but simple) blocks of C# code, compiling to a dll then loading the dll via reflection. This seems to work fine for smallish test cases, but when generating larger programs otherwise similar code decides to throw the InvalidProgramException. The c# compiler version is 8.00.50727.42 from the .net framework sdk v2.0.50727. Is there an updated compiler I can try If not is there an appropriate place to report the bug with an example Cheers. Andy. You can post the code that is causing the problems here and we'll take a look at it. If there is simply too much code to post then you can ZIP it up and post it to one of the public, free hosting sites that allow temporary storage of ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListView: (De-)select notifications in virtual mode

  I have a ListView control in virtual mode, single selection only. I need to get an event when the selected item changes, or the selection is removed. So far I found out: SelectedIndexChanged: It's hard to find the selected item (lv.SelectedItems isn't accessible in virtual mode), and it probably doesn't give me a "deselect" event ItemSelectionChanged: receives only "selected" events in virtual mode (used to get both "select" and "deselect" in non-virtual mode) VirtualItemsSelectionRangeChanged : receives only "deselected" events(e.IsSelected is never true, even if I remove the other handlers completely) When I put the respective code in both handlers, everything works, but it ...Show All
