Arrangementet er gratis.
Her vil det bli presentasjoner og mulighet for å stifte bekjentskap med store aktører innen spillbransjen.
Ta gjerne med venner og bekjente, etter foredraget blir det en mulighet for pils og nettverksbygging med personer fra spillbransjen.
Mer detaljer og påmelding finner du her: http://www.dataforeningen.no/index.php?id=4625730
Stedet er Dubliner og registreringen starter 16:45
Program:
Presentasjon av Den Norske Dataforening
John Walle, Den Norske Dataforening
Din nye hverdag med fremtidens spillteknologi
Temaer: Hva skjer når teknologien bryter grensene mellom fact og fiction? Hvilke samfunnsmessige konsekvenser får vi nå skolene bytter ut læreren og tar i bruk spill i opplæring og at forsvaret rekrutterer gamere som jagerflyvere?
Eirik Newth, cand. scient med hovedfag i teoretisk astrofysikk
Tumbleweed Interactive om dagens spillbransje
Temaer: Hvorfor lager Tumbleweed Interactive spill?
Hva er de mest spennende trendene i spillverden i dag?
Kristoffer Jetmundsen, Tubleweed Interactive
Gamecamp kommer og holder XNA-stand samtidig som flere andre utviklere vil vise frem teknologi og spill. (Det blir også mulighet for å teste Break a Leg)
Sted: Dubliner.

The game is much more advanced than ever, with full 3D-Cel shading, animations and particles. The game got many adcanced spells, AI, bosses and a short story mode.

The start of Project Ice Eagle, got pretty far on this. Tried it out a bit and found it rather funny. Discworld/Terry Prachett type of humor 😛
Outside our home in a huge cave-world, inspired from the DnD’s Underdark.
The next few screenshots are from Veneficus, a story of magic. This is the game that almost finished, but died once the hardware got too good, classic.
(Yeah, thats me in the pictures on the wall 😛 )
So, my first 3D game engine ever, made in 2001 with DirectX8. Brings back some good memories, and a really bad collision detection engine.
The game was named Mage Defender II, as a sequel to my first programmed DOS game ever, Mage Defender( will post some screenshots on this game if I find it).
The start of a new 3D engine named DeBreeze Engine 2.0, the same engine used for Veneficus( 2004 ) and Ice Eagle(2003). The engine was started in 2002, with the basis on the above Mage Defender II engine.
And this last image is from my first DirectX application ever, created in 2000. The models are created by Thomas Beswick. As we went to different schools, he created the models and copied them out on multiple floppies, sending them to me by my brother as they were in the same school. 😛 I had to wait multiple days between each model delivery, as the discs usually got corrupt and had to wait on a new delivery. 😛
My render states get distorted after rendering sprites/textures with SpriteBatch
spriteBatch.Begin(
SpriteBlendMode.None, SpriteSortMode.Immediate, SaveStateMode.SaveState);If SaveStateMode is set to SaveState, a StateBlock object will capture the current state of you rendering device. Once you call End(), the StateBlock will call Apply(), witch applies the state captured earlier.
This usually works in most situations.
My render states get distorted after rendering a model using a shader/effect
To solve this, you can set the SaveStateMode to SaveState when calling the Begin() method of Effect.
effect.Begin(SaveStateMode.SaveState);
Again, If SaveStateMode is set to SaveState, a StateBlock object will capture the current state of you rendering device. Once you call End(), the StateBlock will call Apply(), witch applies the state captured earlier.
This usually works in most situations.
I also tried to set the SaveStateMode to SaveState in Effect.Begin(..) and in mesh.Draw(SaveStateMode.SaveState); but without any luck..
So, finally, I treid to save the state manually, and to my suprise, it worked very well! 😀
To save the state manually, add the following lines of code to your application:
StateBlock stateBlock = new StateBlock(GraphicsDevice); // pass in your GraphicsDevice here.
stateBlock.Capture(); // Saves the state.
//Do your magic, like mesh.Draw();
stateBlock.Apply(); // restores the state again.
stateBlock.Dispose(); // remember to call dispose!
This method works on the computer. When I run it on an xbox360( not sure if this is the reason ) I get an DriverInternalErrorException. If anyone know how to solve this, I would be really glad if you send me the solution!!
Good luck!
It’s just one week before the Game Camp user group for Septemner 09 starts. The agenda just got nailed, so get prepared for some good sessions and join us for a nice and free evening at NITH. 🙂
