    - 2D Collision to Windows boundaries... Hi there, I'm a beginner with XNA, and for the sake of personal knowledge i'm trying to create a simple breakout clone (loving the cliche of this). Anyway, this far i'm going ok, but now I have a problem with collision detection between the ball and the windows boundaries. I also know what is causing this problem, but I dont know how to solve it. The code has been set up that the ball is stick to the paddle untill you release the ball by hitting space. At this point the ball will move by a pre-set speed (given in the class of the ball) along the Y axis. This works without problems. However, the direction the ball is moving on on the X axis is set pick a random direction. This ransomness is causing the problem with the collisions. When the ball collide with the top or bottom of the screen (the Y axis) everything works perfect and the ball, will bounce back. But when the ball hits one of the side walls (the X axis) the ball sticks against the wall and wont move anymore. The problem here is the randomness given to the X axis of the bal. If I start the game without thise random code running the ball will bounce against the walls with no problem. But doing this means the ball will not get a random direction at the point it is realeased from the playerpaddle, so the whole point of the game will be gone. This is the code in the Ball.cs clas file: Code Snippet public Vector2 pos = new Vector2 (); public float speed; public int direction = 0; public Ball() { pos = new Vector2 (0f, 0f); speed = 5; Random rand = new Random (); direction = rand.Next(-5, 5); } And this is the code in the Game.cs class file that is used to check the collision: Code Snippet // Handles the balls speed and direction after the ball has been released form the paddle void BallUpdate() { if (keyReleased) { ball.pos.Y -= ball.speed; ball.pos.X -= ball.direction; } int MinX = 0; int MaxX = graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Width - t_ball.Width; int MinY = 0; int MaxY = graphics.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height - t_ball.Height; if (ball.pos.X > MaxX) { ball.speed *= -1; ball.pos.X = MaxX; } else if (ball.pos.X < MinX) { ball.speed *= -1; ball.pos.X = MinX; } if (ball.pos.Y > MaxY) { ball.speed *= -1; ball.pos.Y = MaxY; } else if (ball.pos.Y < MinY) { ball.speed *= -1; ball.pos.Y = MinY; } } Tag: Game Technologies: Graphics Tiling textures Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Post-Processing Woes I've started experimenting with full-screen post-processing after using a tutorial on Ramblings of A Hazy Mind (tutorial number 8 I believe), that lets you modify many things using pixel shaders, unfortunately I'm unable to find good examples of post-processing effects that will work with this implementation. I'm not really looking for a different way of doing this, rather I'd like to port an effect I've had trouble with into something that will work with Hazy Mind's system. The main one I've had a problem with is a Blur/Glow effect that I found on the XNA5D site, unfortunately it also implements a vertex shader which I have no knowledge of (I know very little about pixel shaders also) so I don't know how to get it to work without involving 3D models, here is the code (probably going to have some smiley faces or something). For those who don't know, Hazy Mind's post-processing system only uses pixel shaders (as far as I know). Also, if anyone has any effects they've made for this type of thing I'd love to see them, thanks! const float2 offsets[12] = { -0.326212, -0.405805, -0.840144, -0.073580, -0.695914, 0.457137, -0.203345, 0.620716, 0.962340, -0.194983, 0.473434, -0.480026, 0.519456, 0.767022, 0.185461, -0.893124, 0.507431, 0.064425, 0.896420, 0.412458, -0.321940, -0.932615, -0.791559, -0.597705, }; float BlurScale; Texture UserTexture; sampler SamplerState = sampler_state { texture = <UserTexture>; magfilter = POINT; minfilter = POINT; mipfilter = POINT; AddressU = clamp; AddressV = clamp; }; struct VertexToPixel { float4 Position : POSITION; float2 TexCoord0 : TEXCOORD0; }; VertexToPixel SimpleVertexShader( float4 inPos : POSITION, float2 tex0 : TEXCOORD0) { VertexToPixel Output = (VertexToPixel)0; Output.Position = inPos; Output.TexCoord0 = tex0; return Output; } float4 ApplyBlur(VertexToPixel inp) : COLOR { float4 sum = tex2D(SamplerState, inp.TexCoord0); float4 Gold = float4(255, 178, 0, 0); for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++) { sum += tex2D(SamplerState, inp.TexCoord0 + BlurScale * offsets ); } sum /= 13; sum.a = 1.0f; return sum; } float4 ApplyBlurMore(VertexToPixel inp) : COLOR { float4 sum = tex2D(SamplerState, inp.TexCoord0); float4 Gold = float4(255, 178, 0, 0); for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++) { sum += tex2D(SamplerState, inp.TexCoord0 + (2*BlurScale) * offsets ); } sum /= 13; sum.a = 0.5f; return sum; } float4 ApplyBlurMed(VertexToPixel inp) : COLOR { float4 sum = tex2D(SamplerState, inp.TexCoord0); float4 Gold = float4(255, 178, 0, 0); for(int i = 0; i < 12; i++) { sum += tex2D(SamplerState, inp.TexCoord0 + (1.5*BlurScale) * offsets ); } sum /= 13; sum.a = 0.8f; return sum; } float4 ApplyTexture(VertexToPixel inp) : COLOR { float4 TextureColor = tex2D(SamplerState, inp.TexCoord0); TextureColor.a = 1.0f; return TextureColor; } technique Blur { pass P0 { VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 SimpleVertexShader(); PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ApplyBlur(); } pass P1 { VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 SimpleVertexShader(); PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ApplyBlurMed(); } pass P2 { VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 SimpleVertexShader(); PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ApplyBlurMore(); } pass P3 { VertexShader = compile vs_2_0 SimpleVertexShader(); PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 ApplyTexture(); } } Tag: Game Technologies: Graphics Tiling textures Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Who is using XACT? We are porting a 360 game to Windows. The 360 game uses XACT, and porting XACT to Windows was fairly painless. The only real problem has been converting the wav data to properly compress with ADPCM and coping with it's block size constraint when playing looping sounds.

    - Model scaling without effecting the real coords Hi, when I load my models they don't always have the correct size in relation to each other, so i want to scale them. When i multiply the world matrix of the basic-effect that renders the model with a Matrix.CreateScale(0.2f) matrix i get the visual correct result. But the coords are scaled too. So when i want to set the position of my model i need to multiply the x, y and z coords by 5 to get the correct values for the model world matrix. Does anyone have an idea to only scale the model in visual I already tried to multiply the view and/or projection matrices with a Matrix.CreateScale(0.2f) matrix but I only got crapy results... at least I am not very familiar with matrices Thx & bye Thunder2002 Tag: Game Technologies: Graphics Tiling textures Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - size in the 3D space i have 2 question 1.iam confuse how to correctly match the size of image (ex: *.tga 256x256) to the 3D space when we using CustomVertex.PositionTextured, how can we render the actual size of image in the 3D space 2. ex: void OnCreateBuffer(object sender, EventArgs e) { VertexBuffer buffer = (VertexBuffer)sender; positionTex = new CustomVertex.PositionTextured[4]; positionTex[0].Position = new Vector3(-1.0f, 1.0f, 0); positionTex[0].Tu = 0; positionTex[0].Tv = 0; positionTex[1].Position = new Vector3(1.0f, 1.0f, 0); positionTex[1].Tu = 1.0f; positionTex[1].Tv = 0; positionTex[2].Position = new Vector3(-1.0f, -1.0f, 0); positionTex[2].Tu = 0.0f; positionTex[2].Tv = 1.0f; positionTex[3].Position = new Vector3(1.0f, -1.0f, 0); positionTex[3].Tu = 1.0f; positionTex[3].Tv = 1.0f; buffer.SetData(positionTex, 0, LockFlags.None); } this buffer will create polygon wiht the width =2 n height =2; so what the meaning is 2 in width n height, 2 pixel or 2 inch or..

    - Resource management Hi, I was wondering if loadGraphicsContent can ever be called with loadAllContent=true except the very first time. The reason it's an important issue is that if it can, references can go dead, ex. if I load effect in Game1 and give it to object X, then Game1.loadGraphicsContent(true) is called and I have to reload effect, X's reference to effect is no longer any good. This can be solved with some simple indirection, but it would be nicer not to do that if it isn't necessary. I'm also curious if it's ever necessary to explicitly Dispose() a resource, such as a VertexBuffer, if it is created with ResourceManagementMode.Automatic, or if everything will be taken care of when it is garbage collected. Part of my concern is that I had a huge problem with MDX9 where such objects were not getting garbage collected because they had captured some device events which kept them live even after my code no longer had any direct reference to them. Is there anything like that going on here Thanks, Max Tag: Game Technologies: Graphics Tiling textures Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Future of DirectX well lets be honest da Z-man is right... direct X is not for indies never meant to be (tell me about an SDK out there whose tutorials or samples would compile out of the box Not dirext X you bet) no it was never meant for indies, yes it might be a big mistake but not yet. look at the first support that vb had in direct X (i still use the com direct X for visual basic to use v b well) Games are getting easier to create and frankly speaking the only reason direct X could survive to DX10 is cos games run on MS technologies. once tools like tourque increase in use and popularity what indie would use DX why is Jave popular with games on mobiles cos its easier to learn hell no! look at it this way i have installed the feb DX sdk tried samples from the book managed direct X kick start by sams (i love VB..beautiful language), spent a fourtune on VS2005. tried coding (lost a monitor.. :) spent three hours trying not to use C# instead of VB ended up craking my LCD) i was begining to think games was just not my thing well i have read a book on tourque and Killa Jave for games.... all i can say is stuff DX for indies. use something else (even truevision 3d works beautifully- mind you their dev team is less than .25 of the DX team.) so does Microsoft give a damn about us .....NAAAAA or u could use, whats it called XNA learn C# its pretty good too. MS forgets how volatile the Dev society is always leave options open, you have the resources get the job done cos when a substitute pops up from no where, i don't want to be the one calling MS and saying told u so big Daddy...

    - Collision Detection With Bezier Curves My old test code(new is in creation process) if (inputs.LeftState > 0) { if (maps[0].CollisionMap[(int)mapAllocator.X - 4, (int)mapAllocator.Y] != 0) { testModelPosition.X -= 3; mapAllocator.X -= 4; } else { testModelPosition.X += 0; mapAllocator.X += 0; } } if (inputs.RightState > 0) { if (maps[0].CollisionMap[(int)mapAllocator.X + 4, (int)mapAllocator.Y] != 0) { testModelPosition.X += 3; mapAllocator.X += 4; } else { testModelPosition.X -= 0; mapAllocator.X -= 0; } } of course it's not too much similar to your bezier...

    - PC project -> 360 (including Game Library) You almost have it, but you should split your processor into a separate project. Getting it set up the right way is complicated the first time. We didn't really document how to do this (an oversight), but you can expect to see a blog post about it at some point. To make it less confusing, let me explain what you should do to use a custom processor with any Xbox 360 game project (or Xbox 360 library project). You want to have 2 projects in your solution: An Xbox 360 Game project which has your game code and assets. A Windows Game Library project which has your custom processor. The custom processor is going to execute as part of the build, which occurs on your Windows machine. You don't implement that in an Xbox 360 project because you'll never build any content on your console. Now, since your Xbox 360 Game project has content in it which you want to process with the processor in the second project, you need to make sure the Windows project builds first. You do that with project dependencies ( not project references). More specifically, Right-click on the Xbox 360 Game project node in the Solution Explorer, and select "Project Dependencies..." Check the box next to the Windows Game Library project. Click OK. What this does is ensure that the processor project will build before the Xbox 360 game project. You don't want to add a project-to-project reference from the game to the processor because the processor is not actually used by the game code, it is used by the build. The next thing to do is to make sure you can use the processor in the game project. You do this by adding the processor project output assembly to the list of Content Pipeline assemblies for the Xbox 360 game project: Build the processor project at least once. Double-click the Xbox 360 project's Properties node in the Solution Explorer. Click on the "Content Pipeline" tab. Click "Add..." Browse to the custom processor assembly and click OK. Close the Project Properties designer. There, now you're pretty much set up. Whenever you build your Xbox 360 game, the environment will check to see if the content project needs to be built first. If it does, it will build, and then the Xbox 360 game project will build and the custom processor will be available. As for working with both platforms, well, you set it up the exact same way with a Windows game project instead of the Xbox 360 project. If you want to use the same custom processor in two solutions, just add the existing project to a new solution (or just add the already-built processor assembly to the Content Pipeline Assemblies list). There are a few more things to set up in order to handle switching configurations (Debug/Release) and platforms (x86/Xbox 360/Mixed Platforms). I won't explain that here. Instead, expect to see a blog post about it eventually. Thanks to Joe Nalewabau (XNA Shaman) for describing these steps to me. He is going to make us simplify this a great deal in the future. ;-) --Stephen Tag: Game Technologies: Graphics Tiling textures Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

    - Multithreading in XNA Is there any way to implememt multi-threaded programming into a XNA based game As multi-core processors become more prevalent, the ability to take advantage of that would be rather useful. Does XNA implement multi-threaded design behind the scenes, a.k.a. in the fundamental way the Game class works I was thinking that for my program, I have multiple GameComponent classes for which the update functions could be run in parrallel. Is there anyway to specify that I've looked up information on righting multi-threaded applications in C#, but I'm not sure if those approaches are compatible with the XNA game loop design (in fact I imagine they would not be).

    - Multiuser games? @jackline Yes, lots of people have created C# multiuser environments. Just look up client/server projects over at The Code Project, example (http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/mdxsnake.asp). Easy, and good for a small number of players. That said... I've seen some MMOG C# projects, but honestly they don't get far off the ground. Mostly because it's hard to get the kind of support you need to make an efficient MMOG system. But also because an MMOG server should never be written in anything other than C/C++ simply because of the amount of data you need to move and info you need to process. One should never say never...but you do lose 15-20% performance moving to C/C++ to C#, possibly more depending on your code, and memory consumption is going to be a lot comparatively speaking. There are few situations where performance must be maxed out, but an MMOG server is most definitely one of them. At least for now, until server hardware becomes so wicked sick that it just doesn't matter. (but don't hold your breath) But don't let me stop you, go for it. Because at the very least you will have learned a great deal about MMOG server design.

That the GSPro version will work with non-Express studios. Well, the "official" reasoning behind one is that they ran out of time, and they would want us to be able to dev on xbox asap. That is fine and I understand perfectly. Now if they say, MS don't want to support VS2005 Pro with XGSExpress because they want us to buy XGS Pro. To me, that is approaching bait-n-switch since: 1. there is no official feature list for XGSE 2. Pro at this point is vapor-ware, and lots of things were "promised"/hinted before Pro came into the picture "promised" Where and when were things "promised" Features are routinely dropped from games and applications due to time constaints. I don't understand the reasoning here. GSE was never, AFAIK, promised to work with VS. GSE and GSPro are targeted at two totally different audiences. GSPro will contain functionality that indies and hobbyists won't have access to (Live features) since they're not registered developers so why should they pay for something they can't use GSPro isn't vaporware.

    - What does creators club include right now? The reason they don't charge for XNA on Windows is because that platform already has numerous ways to make games for it that are free being Visual Studio Express and many others. They can't charge. However, for all the work they've done moving the Compact framework over to Xbox 360 and creating a way to simultaneously program for Windows and Xbox 360, they are going to need to somehow get revenue from this service to pay the programmers. Until now, you couldn't play your own games on an Xbox 360. Now you can, you just have to pay a small licensing fee. It's way better than shelling out for an official dev-kit. As you said, you can very well just work on a game for Windows first and get the Creator's Club when you have it finished. Many people I'm sure will do this. But I personally don't think it's worth my time to work so hard on just Windows. You will inevitably make your game too PC-centric thus making it not work as well on Xbox 360. I guess it all depends on your primary target audience. Tag: Game Technologies: Graphics Tiling textures Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc.

I have a .x mesh exported from 3ds (3D studio max). In 3ds, the texture for my floor is tiled, and looks nice and detailed. However, when I load this mesh into my DirectX application, the texture is tiled, but is stretched to the size of the face... so now it looks like gravel instead of carpet!

Can DirectX control how textures are tiled I cant seem to find anything. So far I have turned on Anisotropic texture filter which has made a slight improvement... but the tiles are still streched!

Any ideas

Re: Game Technologies: Graphics Tiling textures

r3n

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that DX does not tile textures; it assigns 1 texture to 1 face. Thus, the model has now been changed to have multiple faces where a texture must appear tiled.
