  • My "QuickTrig" Helper Class

    I've uploaded a ZIP file that contains the source code for the "QuickTrig" helper class that I've mentioned a couple of times now. You can get it by clicking this link . For those curious, looking through that should help explain how I can handle my angles primarily in degrees (as mentioned...

  • Units of Measure

    I've been working through some auto-moving sprite functionality, and have wandered a bit further down that road than I originally expected to at this point ... so now I need to back up a bit to get back on the main route of progress.

    When it comes time to write a new game, I'd like to be able to tell my graphics library the various screen styles that the game wants to make available to the player and then have the library figure out which ones are supported by the player's computer. This will be how Nimble2D does things ...

  • Breaking Up the Solution, and How I Program

    I expect, in the end, Nimble2D will be a rather full-featured library for making games -- graphics, particles, collisions, input, sound effects, music, etc. But to get there, I will need to break things up into manageable chunks, building higher priority things first, then fleshing-in the more detailed...

  • A Nimble Launch

    On this first post of the new blogspace for Nimble2D , I'd like to do two things: (1) Give credit where it is due, and (2) give a brief overview of how I see this project at the start. So, credit ... First, a big thank you to Chris Williams for setting up ilovevb.net (a perfectly logical place for...
