Recent Search Terms
Here's a collection of the "Recent Search Terms" postings I've done on my site. Basically I browse through website logs (currently using google analytics) and look at the search terms people have used in search engines (mostly google) to find their way to my site.
amateur mmorpg
Amateur pro wrestling?
anyone who announces they are leaving sol let's see how long they can stay away for
Uh, sure.
basic kanji book
What do I look like, a library? Have you checked if amazon has something suitable?
bit shift tutorials on int and char data types
They're more or less the same, with different amount of bits. Except if you're talking about java, in which case char is a bit more different.
escapi camera save file
After you've captured a frame, save it.
gta iv highly compressed full game download
This almost made me laugh out loud.
how to create persian font in glcd in microcontroller 8051?
The same way you do western font in a graphic ldc in microcontroller 8051: pixel by pixel.
how to fix a webcam problem generating a hazy pic
Check if the camera has a focus adjustment, this is typically done by rotating the lens. Check the manual of your device.
how to make cryokinetic effect in photoshop
No idea, but it sure sounds interesting.
how to make people love you in mmorpgs
Be nice?
it's important to note that you shouldn't try to optimize you homepage for more than on theme
Is it? Actually, I have no idea what you're talking about. There's plenty to optimize in a homepage, like navigation, readability, accessibility, render speed..
little circle with r in it keyboard functions
Alt-0174
new blocks fall down into grid beginning game programming tutorial
Okay, that's one idea.
sdl resize windows lost texture
Yes, you lose textures when resizing an SDL window. Luckily they're pretty easy to put back, as long as you load your textures through the same function every time. See my 2d gl basecode for an example how to do this.
she looked at me with a tear in her eye
How romantic!
shower door effect kernel in image processing
What, you mean like a blur?
sites which can help me in making project on simulation of bcd adder

sol pisses me off
A thousand pardons, effendi.
terra nova strike force centauri source code
Don't I wish.
using your keyboard to draw
Dip your keyboard in a bucket of paint..
what is meant by handle to device context
That's two abstraction layers you're talking about. Handle abstracts data access, and device context abstracts the target hardware.
why sol's shouldn't count towards graduation
Could someone tell me what the heck is this referring to?
"strange attractors" pixel shader
I'd probably use the vertex shader for this. Makes more sense.
are hwnd and winclass.hinstance the same
No. Back when windows was still in real mode, it made sense to have only one copy of an application in memory even if the user saw several instances of it. Each instance was separated by having its own hinstance. It's historical garbage.
feet hurts no apparent reason
Go see a doctor.
how do i write a movie animation program with dev-c++

What?

winfrotz symbian
Instead of winfrotz, try to find frotz for symbian.
zlib microcontroller

can we add pixels on the white dots on the screen
Yes.
coding of traffic controller by using atmega32 microcontroller
Sounds like a school assignment.

curver aromafresh
Why on earth do I find this in every month's search terms?
cycle exact simulation
Is tricky.
have your own mmorpg
Sigh. Let's consider this. If everyone had their own mmorpg, who would play them? If nobody plays a mmorpg, is it multiplayer, much less massively so?
how can i get c program for graphics to create a game
The person who said that there are no stupid questions obviously didn't read search terms for his website.
how to clone an mmo and make it your own
Priceless.
how to create a cfl file
makecfl.
how to make a 1% sol from a 48% sol
Add water.

Figure out how to plot characters in text mode, and then.. do a demo. There are plenty of libraries out there which you can study to figure the first part out, if you don't want to use the libraries directly.
i don't understand pitch in sdl
Width is the.. width of the visible image. Pitch is the width of the image, including non-visible part. To get to the start of the next visible row, add pitch. Note: pitch MAY be the same as width.
i want to make a mmorpg but have no idea how
Accepting the facts is the first step towards getting healthy. I'm glad for you.
if you have 128 pixels how far will that go in seeing distance
Depends. Are you an ant, a bee, or a HD-ready security camera?
is graphics programming fun?
Much more so than just playing around with algorithms with no connection to reality. With graphics you have something.. more real. It's like physics is to mathematics, I'd say.
my life the game that you get make your own life just how you want it
Let me guess: someone told you to get a life?
prince make sol valve
watermelon pour moon bolt
replace game and watch graphics
Tricky.
what does the word vertices mean
Cornerpoints.
what is esc to quit in c++?
That isn't what c++ is for. You need to check the problem at slightly higher level. What operating system and/or framework are we talking about?
who was the first main sourse of housekeeping
What the heck?
win32 selectobject what does it do
I'll just wager a guess here, but I'd say it has something to do with selecting an object for something..
achievers not dreamers programmers
While finishing tasks and projects is one of the most valuable characteristics of a good programmers, having a bit of a dreamer in you doesn't hurt.
adobe after effects tutorial cool intro square tunnel
What, square tunnel is a cool intro? On what planet?
are there games where you build your own stuff
Yeah, it's called the GNU compiler collection.
buy your own mmorpg site
calculate angle and distance c code
Angle - look up atan2. Distance - look up pythagorean theorem.

Now that's a bit trickier.
can a hedgehog's spikes hurt you
Yes.
cbclsextra is for
User data.
directx 7 sdk sucks
Try OpenGL instead?
electricity effect d3d c++
I did this by making a more or less linear triangle strip, and then randomly moved vertices around a bit. Additive blending, and a cool light blue color. Worked pretty well.
gdi+ crash and matrox
Matrox is still around?
how to build a toggle with atanua
Look up T-latch.
how to make a c++ educational game
Make a game. In C++. That is educational.
how to make a game use less graphics
Re-use some.
i'm 14 and want to make my own mmorpg
That's nice. You may have it done by the time you're 25!
if (you're happy and you know it()==1) } then clap your hands() c#
Okay, let's all calm down, take a deep breath..
kaija koo pics
In certain light, sure.
ludum dare tutorial
No-one can be.. told.. what the Ludum Dare is. You'll have to experience it yourself.

Probably a broken vid card.
site hiring people with good mmorpg ideas
In your dreams.
the gtk file open dialog blows
Yes, it does, doesn't it?
things you need to make a successful mmorpg
Plenty of money to burn, and no hurry in paying it back.
vc++ change display resolution fail
epic fail?
want to make my own mmorpg
What is it with people who want to make their own MMO these days. Would they play their neighbor's own MMO? Where would they find all the players for their own? I guess running a BBS 'back in the good old days' was kind of running your own MMO..
what is an 8051 processor emulator
Depends on whether you ask a hardware or a software guy.
why is boolean 8 bits
It isn't. Boolean is a concept. How this concept is simulated depends on the system. Booleans can be anything, from 1 bit to a bazillion. Common values are 8 and 32.
winapi future
With all mission-critical winapi-based software out there, I'd say it has a few years in it yet.
bring window to top which one will be clicked + win32 api
I have no idea whatsoever.
c programming+ datastructures +change the colors of bmp file+linux
Using a few more quotes would probably get better search results. Sounds quite specific..
carma cameleon lyrics
It's Karma. You know, "your Karma ran over my Dogma", and all?
curver aroma fresh
No idea.
decrypt cfl-file
Good luck. Most CFLs in the wild with encryption, the ones that I have had anything to do with, anyway, use pseudorandom xor encryption, which, as far as I know, isn't "cryptographically safe", but personally I have no idea how to attack it. Apart from hitting the application with some hardcore debugger and let it decrypt whatever you wanted. This assuming that we're talking about my compressed file library format files.
download+tutorials+create+galaxy
Aiming high?
flc fli source code
There were several flc-related searches in the log, including ones linking SDL and flc, wxwidgets and flc, and PSP and flc. Either 'flc' has started to mean something else as well (than the old 'flick' animation format), or there's something weird going on. Anyway, you're on the right site - download txtfli2.zip for the sources. The fli/flc part is not textmode specific. There's some trickery involved if you want to port it to ARM, as there's some non-aligned 32bit reads going on.
graphic operating system from scratch tutorial
Here's a hint. Operating system != user interface.
how much money do i need to build my own mmo
If you need to ask, more than you have.
how to make graphics?
Good question.

Wrong keyboard layout, maybe?
opengl how to draw cosine and sine
Sample the sine and/or cosine and create, for example, line segments between the samples. If it looks too blocky, take more samples.
photoshop filter to create zx-spectrum style graphic
The ZXSpectrumizer to the rescue! Actually, when I made the Koalizer I did the ZXSpectrumizer just for the heck of it, but for some reason it's more popular. Weird brits, I guess.
ripped max payne 1.0 stops working after some time vista
Perhaps you should try a purchased copy of the latest version of max payne? It's available on steam, for example..
shower door hinge
The last time I looked, shower doors tend to be sliding ones, instead of hinges. This doesn't mean that there could be hinged doors in some showers. Our current shower just has a curtain.
sol dirty
But I just took a shower!
step by step create s3m
First, build a PC that's capable of booting to MS-DOS, and has a ISA sound board, such as SoundBlaster Pro or Gravis Ultrasound. Install MS-DOS 3.3 or equivalent, and whatever version of ScreamTracker 3 you can get your hands on. Read the documentation of the latter for more information.

Interesting idea.
adding and substracting in a differnt base
Step 1: convert to same base. Step 2: add or substract. Step 3: convert to whatever base was desired.

Most of the time, you don't need to be. APIs tend to hide most of the complexity, although knowing some concepts does help.
ascii code for alphabits in c++
"alphabits"?
atanua +rotate
Select part, press Ctrl-R.
atanua examples
Inside the distribution zip file. (or tar.gz, or .dmg)
atanua help tutorials
There's the interactive flash demo which might help; contact me if you really think there needs to be something more comprehensible.
atanua source
My experience with the linux community has caused me to reverse my earlier plan to release the sources. Maybe some year.

I can heartily recommend the signal regiment in Riihimäki.

Curious.

Yeah, I probably should get around to writing some kind of document on that. On the other hand, that would also require a rather big reworking of GalaXQL from my part, so don't hold your breath.
gametoy corporation
Alas, my 'gametoy' project has probably stopped, as I ran out of motivation on it. And no, I have no idea about the corporation =)
helpful ways to get through the sol tests
Who to the what now?
how to make your own 3d mmorpg easy and fast
This question can be understood in two ways. Either it means "how to build the mmorpg in a easy and fast manner", or it means "how to make the mmorpg easy and fast". Answer to the latter would be by optimizing and doing focus group testing; answer to the former is, you don't.
