Just make sure you have the official binaries released by Aard ... this is a message you will see if you have built Cube from source.

#5148: Physics Engine

by Bocom on 01/01/2006 21:04

Hi.

I wonder if it would be possible to implement a physics engine, PhysX in particular, into Cube?

Could that be done?

Apart from the fact that demanding the dernier cry in game developement for cube all the time (be it ragdoll physics or dot3 bumps), is a little off IMHO, hereīs what I found on the subject at garage games:

Regarding Ageia PhysX SDK:
The price for Ageia is $50000 per developers PC, but if one uses features that requires their PPU chip you can use the SDK without a license fee. At least this is what I've been told by the Ageias sales person here in Sweden.

Thatīs a driver issue. Try to update them. If that doesnīt help, some older version of the drivers might work.

#5153: Cube won't start

by jughead on 01/04/2006 02:34

I am trying to start the game, but nothing happens. I downloaded and unpacked the .gz and tried to run the linux_client executable. The screen goes black and the monitor clicks, then it goes back to the desktop. I have found meaningful documentation thus far.

I run Mepis w/ a 2.6 kernel and KDE 3.5.

#5155: Re: for the C++ programmers on this forum..

by Pxtl on 01/04/2006 15:35, refers to #5139

Hella cool. Will definitely include that approach in my next C++ project (if I ever escape the middling circle of hell that is C# development that I'm currently doing).

And as for the merits of C++, I think it's currently horribly underrated because of all the hype surrounding Java, Python, C# and so on. I remember a few years back when I finally _got_ templates, I quickly decided that there was something fundamentally wrong with the people who made C#/Java for not including such a feature in version 1.0.

Bjarne Soustrup is my personal Jesus. I just wish they'd finish the spec for C++0x sooner - Move semantics and 1-line curried templates were needed last century.

agreed. I have found that my programming fun can be had a lot in HOW I write my code, not in what language... and C++ just has a hell of a lot of tools to make different code structures happen.

Supposedly Java is losing users to Ruby. Which doesn't really make sense to me, they're not really good for the same things.

What are the odds of D stabilizing and gaining acceptance anyways?

#5158: Re: for the C++ programmers on this forum..

by Aardappel_ on 01/05/2006 13:03, refers to #5157

"supposedly". right. Not that I care for Java (anymore) anyway, I just use it as an example of a language that has modularity done right, and is much like C++. I might as well have picked C# or whatever.

Does D have more sensible modularity? Long time since I looked at it. I very much doubt it will take off... a large reason for people to use systems (non-scripting) languages has to do with quality of tools, portability and popularity.

by pushplay on 01/06/2006 01:45, refers to #5158

D does away with the preprocessor and doesn't do headers either. So I guess code has to be modularized like Java. I don't have so much free time in my life that I can go around learning languages I'm never going to get to use. I don't mean basic syntax but actual learning.

C++ is a good tool, but it has a lot of style problems that I think make it difficult to learn.

I really enjoy this game, and as an animator, i was wondering how to make this game. If anyone can let know what programs i would need to make it. thanx

sorry, i mean to say, create a game of my own, like this game. but i don't know what programs i need to start making one. I already have models made up. I just need to create the game through programming or w/e.

You need a compiler like gcc/mingw/vstudio and some uber coding skills.

ok, so if i was to get one of these, then what? where do i start? how do i use them? can i bring characters from 3ds max 7? This is my first time creating a game. Thanks for the info. on the programming part, but where do i start?

You should start by studying other engines and learn c++, there should be tutorials out there. A better thing would be to make a mod for some exsisting game before attempting to create an engine by yourself, since making an engine from scratch isnīt easy, and definately not a task for a beginner.
