SDXM Game Engine Update: 2,000,000 Polygons Per Second Confirmed!!!
A little bit late with the updates and posting an older video update, but we’re not at just 320,000 polygons anymore. I can easily draw 2,000,000 polygons per second now. But it’ll drop all the way down averaging around 20 to 25 frames per second. But it still runs buttery smooth. Of course, it’s not production ready yet, meaning I won’t be starting the actual game project anytime soon until there is ZERO crashes. And this sumbitch crashes. LOL

Possible usage is for underwater levels where the effect can be applied to the frame buffer, transitions between stages, or other fancy 2D gimmicks. (more…)

If you have Windows XP or previous versions of Windows, you might have to get the .Net Framework to run my application. Anyway, here’s a list of features I’m planning on implementing. (more…)

Code Problem Solved: How to Implement z-order Rendering
If you’ve dealt with cascading style sheets (CSS) in web design, then you might be aware of z-index (also known as z-order). This special attribute tells the web browser to render elements in a certain order. But specifically in webpages, a z-index can range from 0 to 99, where 0 is the farthest back element (it is rendered first) and 99 is the front most element (it is rendered last). All is well when the software’s already working for you, but what about in game development? Here’s a way… (more…)
