Comment on Added Flamethrower to Sidescroller by Daniel

I haven’t really had time to look at the old Daedalus codebase for some time now (not since before XNA 4 was released to give you an idea), so I can’t say for certain how helpful the code would be. If I get some time I will try and post the relevant code to give you a jumping off point

Dude, how could you make something so good and not share it? please make a tutorial video or make the code available.

Comment on Simple Class Serialization With JsonCpp by Msi

I have solution for array, we need to add:

to TestClassA.:
private;
vector m_vStrings;

and to TestClass.cpp

void CTestClass::Serialize( Json::Value& root )
{
int size = m_vStrings.size();
for(int i=0; i {
root["vector"].append(m_vStrings[i]);
}
}

void CTestClass::Deserialize( Json::Value& root )
{

if(root.get("vector","").isArray())
{
int size = root.get("vector","").size();
for(int i=0; i {
m_vStrings.push_back(root.get("vector","")[i].asString());
}
}
}

Great, but how to serializat/deserializat array ?

Comment on C++ Vector2D & Rectangle classes by Daniel

Mmm thats not a bad idea. The current Rectangle::Distance() method gives the distance between the center of each Rectangle, but yes minimum distance would be more useful for collision resolution. In fact I’m pretty sure it’s already sort of happening in the Rectangle::GetIntersectionDepth method, but being factored out into a unique method that gave you distance feedback could likely be useful.

I’ll implement that and update the post soon.

Nice .. but what about an efficient implementation to get the minimum distance between two rectangles.

@Davo Thanks for the link! I updated the original post with that info.

“however the source download on that page is down””

Hi,
I found that file. It is inside this zip file for the month of January 2003.

Comment on More 2D Sidescroller Progress… by Daniel

Thank you for the offer, but honestly I’ve changed the architecture enough that old snippets aren’t terribly useful anymore. A lot of the platformer code was based on the Plaformer Starter Kit, which honestly wasn’t able to do a lot of what I wanted. After redoing the architecture and switching over to Farseer physics, I don’t foresee myself looking back

Daniel, I still have some of your old code snippets, before you updated your Platformer Game page. Just e-mail me in case you’ll need it back for your website.
