DB3 todo

OK, I guess I'll call it DB3, my idea for calling it DB# hasn't caught on so far...

So, I got the code, Where can I start? What is most pressing, yet should be somewhat easy so I don't have a sharp learning curve? TY NUMS!

Numsgil:
It depends on what skills you have.  Have you ever done any of the following:

1.  Physics engine programming
2.  Graphics programming
3.  UI programming.
5.  Any game programming in general.
6.  Calculus
7.  Linear algebra
8.  Normal algebra

?

If not, would you like to?  It's all a bit technically dense.  So it involves doing a lot of reading to get up to speed.  I can probably dig up articles on whatever subject.

happyhamsterchan:
I know all the maths, and, um... I made a guess-the-number game! Does that count?

Numsgil:
Maths will help.  I've tasked a bunch of people to get the graphics system to draw circles.  But I haven't heard from any of them since.  So it's your job now.

Get FX Composer and load up the graphics.XNA solution.  Your task: write a pixel shader that can draw a circle given a quad (see the shader for drawing squares for reference).  And integrate it in to the graphics code.

Alternatively: get Graphics.GDI set up to draw quads like Graphics.XNA can.  GDI is the internal drawing routines that C# has for winforms.  I don't think there's even a solution or project set up yet.  Use the ones for XNA as a starting point.

The code is not concrete here at all, so feel free to massage it to make things easier to work with.

That's a rough outline.  If you need more direction, we can set up a skype call after work.  Do you have skype?  If not, grab it.  It's basically a way to do phone calls over internet for free.  If you don't have a mic, that's fine.  I just don't want to have to type this all out again.  What time zone are you in?

happyhamsterchan:
yay sounds fun!!! My time zone is... um... Virginia!!!! Google said that's eastern. So my time is 11:00 pm when the forum says the time is 4:00 am.

So, also, a quick question... How do I run/edit this code?
