Wow last post since March 14 It seems Project DARKDOVE has finally stagnated...

... I don't think so

Good Day once again after a very long "Radio Silence" . Project DARKDOVE is a goal to be achieved, and I'm looking forward, together with every other passionate mind, to achieving it

First Things First... For those of you like us that follow the development progress of Uhro3D "bumper to bumper" this might not be a news. But to other our capable game engine, Urho3D, has reached version 1.4 with lots of features like support for Direct3D11, OpenGL 3.2 , WebGL via Emscripten , Detour Crowd Implementation and so many bug fixes, some of which were discovered by our simple DARKDOVE team

As has always been the link, you can get more info about this and even get your own Urho3D distribution at http://urho3d.github.io

Work is on-going on the Base Framework and Architecture that Incub8 would be developed on and equally a hunt for game assets and models. And Drone Anarchy is taking a new shape, thanks to a Team Member who is currently implementing support for Console Game Controllers.

That's the little I can leak out for now

kazuna:
why can't someone go into xter design for Blender's Sake .
Imagine a CG Hauz filled to the brim with environment Design gurus and not a single xter designer or a vfx guru........will such a hauz stand?

I've been on a long break from blender (have been so much occupied due to work ) but I'm sure to bounce back very very soon . Worry not, character designers are here

Davitron:
hi guys, am new to dis thread.
currently working on this
skateboarder (wip).
software autodesk maya
coments and critics are welcomed.

Nice work... But in as much as we really appreciate ur work and the passion you've put in to bring it to life, I think this thread was actually created to help out those using Blender as the 3d software.

Once again, nice work

ijeezlux:
a little brain teaser for u.
How can u halt ds loop
int i;
while(cin >>i)
{
.
.
}

by adding the "break" keyword when a condition is met

kazuna:
And just when u are feeling guilty staring at the colors, She came up......@BlueMagnificient, Blessed at thou hands for they shall craft more curves That will make Kim And Mercy up the competition.....

Tight schedule is seriously witholding me from adding a beast to the beauties I have. But before the month runs out something will be done.

kazuna:
Dedicating this to Shimish.....Thanks for Bringing Me back....

That's so awesome

ijeezlux:
hope u guys av seen a stack class implementation... Well if u av nt seen it b4 u can download the code snippet online. My question is how well and efficiently can i use a vector class in place of a stack.

You should understand the difference between them and know when to use which. Stack operates based on Last-In-First-Out so if it's this type of operation you need in your program then stack (std::stack) would suit you right. On the other hand if you are after array-like functionalities then vector (std::vector) is highly recommended.

ijeezlux:
my laptop has been down for sumtym now cos we dnt av power supply. For now we can only talk on phone. Thanks

I guess its best for us to communicate about the issue here so that other with similar problem can easy find it

ijeezlux:
helo gud day, am into c++ programing, for sumtym now i have bin trying to do sum stuff dat involve the use of gui toolkit like wxwidget or qt bt i couldnt use dem. Though i concentrated more on the QT, i tried all i could, to make sure dat the qt work but all to no avail. When ever i compile my codes it keep giving me error. Plz i will be vry vry happy and grateful if u can help me out with the qt.
Plz guys help me. My numb nd my whatsapp numb is: 08036407597
my email is: ijeezlux@gmail.com
fcbuk name: cletus ijeoma onyoke.
I wud realy lyk to hook up like-minded c++ guy. Tnks

Good to learn of your interest in C++
Can u please post the error message you encountered while building your application

Shimish:
Well just decided to drop this anyway. Hope I won't get into any trouble

Well done bro, we are following behind

Febup:
But someone or a group of people still owns the software licence in one country.

Comparison of free and open-source software licenses:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses

Well, that will be the case if you are creating your own licenses, if you as a creator choose to use one of the popular Open Source licenses like BSD, GPL, LGPL, MIT (etc) I don't see how it binds your country to the software

Febup:
^^^ which of these game engines were made in Nigeria.

None... Unfortunately none of them were made by a single "country" but by "people" from diverse countries collaborating together to bring a project to life as is evident in the Open Source game engines listed above

jacksam567:
please can you give me an example

Here are few Game Engines (all are not C++):

Unreal Engine
CryEngine
Panda3D
Unity3D (Mentioned above)
Urho3D
Neo Axis
Torque3D
Irrlicht
Ogre3D (rendering engine)
Blender Game Engine...

And a lot more

donemmx:
am going crazy over blender will post the work stage together with the final work

Awesome

jacksam567:
Yes i have but it only it all end in creating commands. But no actual details on designing games

If that's what you think then you are definitely missing out... Do some research on c++ libraries, there are tones of them out there that you can use to accomplish more that a mere command line app. Game engines, which can assist yo in making games, are part of these libraries. Google is your friend

[quote author=peterincredible post=31903147][/quote]If I got you right, you want to use a form generated in qt designer in your application designed with the qt creator, right?

rukkykf:
c++ is not a programming language of choice when it comes to GUI programming because even with the available languages (i have used Qt in the past) it's user interfaces can't be as visually appealing as those created with other .NET languages like c# and Vb.

Well it would had been better if u specified that the above was ur personal opinion

KazukiIto:
Blue I hope you still remember me. Firstly, thanks for the wxwidgets advice, it really made my defense awesome. secondly I think I've gathered enough knowledge to contribute on this wonderful project, just have it at the back of your mind, that you have a new participant on this project. thanks for your time

Welcome onboard, there are still seats . When u are ready to lay ur hand on something u might want to start by getting Urho3d, having a look at Drone Anarchy and reading up the little tutorials that are on this projects official forum

KazukiIto:
Blue wxwidgets is totally IT. I dazzled during my defense thanks to wx. I will be using it for a very long time.

Thats great, wxWidgets is really a resourceful GUI lib when u get to understand it.
Congrats on ur successful defence

GoodBoi1:
I see you guys have gone far. Would love to join but I've been really occupied. Unreal engine 4 is now free

Its a good thing its free so that more people can have access to it but as a heavy weight engine it packs lots of punch and baggages that most times are not needed

John5117:
Well....if u want to do something awesoMe use unReal4

lol... Yeah believe me when I tell u that we have a reason for choosing Urho3D. And awesomeness does not depend on engine

Good Morning Everyone...

I just found out that making documentation isn't all that easy , its quite a job. But nonetheless I'm pleased to announce that the first part of our basic Urho3D Tutorials which will be based on Drone Anarchy has just been put up at official Project DARKDOVE forum . The Tutorial as a whole is titled The Urho Flow and since the plan is to make it simple and moderate at first then extend later, it will have three parts. The First two will look into Urho3D's features while the third will talk on the implementation of Drone Anarchy based on these features.

Here is the link for those who might be interested http://darkdove.proboards.com/post/94

@BlueMagnificent... Great job you're doing here... I remember a while back when I was trying to setup wxwidget too, anyway, I ended up going with Qt. its been great so far and I've been working on a project for a while now. But I'm having some difficulty achieving what I want with QPrintPreviewDialog... I'd post snippets if you can help me out.

I'll be glad to help out

peterincredible:
pls i want to ask if any of you have a good book on wxwidget so that i can download it the one i saw is not free you have to buy from amazaon or you read it online pls any recommended text book pls may God bless u all

Unfortunately the material that is close to being a book that I can recommend for you is the official wxWidgets doc which comes along with every distribution. Believe me, if you take your time with it you'll realize how resourceful it can be. Another thing that can really help you is the collection of sample applications still in the wxWidgets distribution. Reading through their code will teach you a lot

peterincredible:
braos my qt installed successfully the only problem i am having with qt is that i dont know how to use the qt creator in which i installed yesterday but soon i will do research about how to use qt but for my own wx widget at the ending it told me that it has an error in installation i will work more on it and i will tell you the out come by the through with it

Ok I'm always around to help

codemarshal08:
Bro BlueMAgnificent, i sight u ! ........

I sight u too...

peterincredible:
pls help mee ooo i tried to compile my own wx widget but it taking too much time, much time than i expected my is taking more than 2 hours till the extent i got tired and icancelled the installation pls nairalanders pls help me solve or advice me what to do the qt installation too is a serious matter pls your help is needed pls thanks God bless you all

My First wxWidgets build took me ages to complete but it completed and I was so happy. So long as it is not giving any errors its best to let it take its time to build. You might close down other applications and/or turn on high performance in your power setting if it is available.

As asked by codemarshal, be a bit descriptive on you qt installation issues.

primus361:
Finished texturing the character. Getting ready to Rig it.

Nice... You finally pushed ahead . Great work, keep it up

Good Day Everyone...

This is more of a notification to all that our wonderful project is still on. For those that do not know much about this project, allow me to give a brief run down and situation on ground.

Code Named Project DARKDOVE, this project is an initiative to develop an Open Source 3D game. The language of choice is C++ with Urho3D ([url]urho3d.github.io[/url]) running the show as the Game Engine. Due to Urho3D's AngelScript binding, AngelScript serves as the adopted scripting language. The official forum for DARKDOVE is at http://darkdove.proboards.com/ though this Nairaland thread will still be actively updated . There is also an official GitHub account https://github.com/DARKDOVE which already has the first stage of out Proof-Of-Concept, Drone Anarchy, hosted on it. Currently a tutorial guide for those new to Urho3D is being worked and would be updated on DARKDOVE starting from next week. This guide would also explain the implementation of Drone Anarchy.

i remember d last time i checked in here it was more lik castles in d air but now very much of a reality. its great to know dat nd hoping to work with u guys soon enough. great job.

Even building castles in the air can be possible if there is a passion to make it a reality . Thanks alot for the encouragement... Believe me, there are more developments coming

Oladg2:
write a program which inputs reading expressed in fahrenheit and output its equivalent in celcius using the formular °c=5/9(℉-32). andvcompile and run the program. its behaviour should resemble this : Temperature in fahrenheit =41
41 degree fahrenheit =5 degree celsius.

You would help ur self better if you could have at least provided an algorithm of how u intend to solve the problem. It will make u a better programmer with time

codemarshal's code (no pun intended ) would do the trick
