    Latest stuff: ---------- original post: ---------- Well, I've waited long enough... Boy, now I know how and why my brother felt nervous when he first unveiled KSP. I guess this is my turn: Hello, world! This is MotorWings! UnEdited Screenshot: I found that in the right...

    Gaming A game made entirely using MS Paint.

    This is the same I had posted in the Kerbal Space Program boards (where I used to be an admin, long time ago) - I somehow had neglected to mention it here though (d'oh!) So here's the latest child of my curiously unusual career as a game developer: Doctor Tsunami, the game is called...

    Gaming The Return of the Geek-Pit

    Hi there So, now that it's been about 1 and a half months since I moved to Canada, I have pretty much just about "finished" the first and most crucial steps of putting my beast of a PC back together... it was no easy feat, and you'll soon know why :lol: well, instead of re posting the whole...

    Any orbinauts in Vancouver? Just got life back on track!

    I've just moved to town :cheers: I also wanted to thank everybody that responded to my "what to do with my life" thread I posted some months ago - your advice was hugely valuable in deciding for a practical course of action! for now, I'm in a downtown hotel trying to find a more definitive...

    Take on immigration and whatnot - overwhelmed by ghosts of decisions unmakable

    Recent additions to the MoachPit

    yeah, i've been at it again.... i was recently presented with the opportunity to acquire a little piece of kit called the "Razer Nostromo" at a bargain cost (i.e. someone flying it in for me purchasing it online) the Nostromo is a massively programmable left-hand keypad for enthusiastic gamers...

    BETA Release for less 'pixely' clouds

    well, just to let ppl in on what i've been playing around with..... HLSL is a really versatile tool... so once i found there were .fx files i could do stuff with laying in the graphics client folder... well, i had to try so far, i got this: it ain't much - but i find my low orbits are...

    API Question MGROUP_ROTATE usage with vectors?

    quick question... is there any straightforward way to reuse the transforms for animating mesh parts to transform simple vectors as well? i need this to reposition the wingtip navigation and strobe lights on my G42-200, which has wings that are capable of hinging up and down... can it be done...

    Hello, fellow space-people! - i got a very geeky little challenge for ya..... as some of you may already know (since i talk about it annoyingly often), i'm working on a trials bike game.... you know, one of those ride-over-obstacles physics driven type deals.... it's a flash game, and i'm...

    SDK Question Moving UVs on a mesh group (or any better idea)

    ok, i'll try to keep this short... it's for the G42-200 eicas panels on the VC... if you're familiar with this craft, you might have noticed that around the 6 eicas screens (the not-MFD panels), there are a set of 12 little push buttons those are the eicas mode seletors - they're meant to...

    redshift = expanding universe?

    help me understand something here.... i've been geeking out reading stuff ongeneralrelativity and the nature of the universe... as expected, the more i read, the more it becomes apparent just how little we really know about such things.... (i vote we need more spaceships :lol:) but one...

    Problem External MFD + OrbiterNG + Keyboard Input = No-Go

    well, this is certainly a bummer... but it seems that whenever an external mfd pops up one of those type-in input boxes, it's not actually able to receive any keyboard input :facepalm: i have not confirmed this to be exclusive to OrbiterNG or to the D3D9 client (but that's where i encountered...

    A rotation matrix from a normalized vector

    so, this is one for the math-savvy folks here... say i have a surface, and a ball to collide against it - this surface is represented as a plane defined by normal vector... this is all in 2d, and is part of my quad-tree simulation thing.... the surface normal is contained in each quad that...

    Science Design of a programming language

    hmm... ok, i better get this open to discussion before i go too far on a mistake or some manner of disaster-bound course of action.... :hmm: so, as some of you may have heard, i'm designing a "new"(ish) programming language... it's no huge deal... meh, it's not even a small deal, really... it's...

    i'm about to invent another programming language

    my AVM2 frustration is reaching a critical level back here... for those who don't know what that is, AVM2 = Flash for all intents and purposes :rolleyes: i find that i'm faced with a plethora of situations where i'm working against this tool... this is mostly related to my job, building flash...

    Problem oapiBlt not cooperating....

    well then... i figured i had it all set properly, but something fails silently... i loaded my resource bitmap like this: vcRsc_reht_tape = oapiCreateSurface(LOADBMP(BMP_RHTTAPE)); the 24-bit bmp i intend to use as an engines-reheat-level gauge tape is loaded as resource and properly assigned...

    of torque and linear acceleration.... (please help)

    ok, need help.... :facepalm: i'm most horribly confused on a matter of simple physics... yet, those assumably-simple things are often those that give me most trouble, since no-one bothers write about them, i gather :shrug: anyways... when calculating the torque generated upon a surface...

    General Question Best way to animate a 3d ADI ball

    well, title says all, but a little image always helps clarify, so look: before anything else, let me thank dr. Martin for the great ADI texture :thumbup: anyways, as you can see, that thing is a ball, an actual 3d sphere with Martins texture wrapped around it :rolleyes: now i need to make...

    Project Universal Dynamic Virtual Cockpit

    well, since the world ain't ending today, i decided to make this thing into an actual project... so with a little modelling and texturing, here's what i have so far perhaps it doesn't look like much, but it's the beggining of a new era of DVC's for all Orbiter craft :lol: - and not only the...
