• Volumetric Clouds - Source

  Now, I said I wanted to get the editor written up before I posted the basic system, but I have had so many requests for it I thought I may as well get the base up and I can build on it as the system evolves. Before I get into the code, I'll explain... Posted Oct 02 2008, 11:58 AM by Nemo Krad with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: Generic XNA, Source, Particle System, Clouds, XBox 360, XNA 2.0, HLSL

• ReMix 08 - Demo Source Code

  Some of you that have come to this blog after going to the ReMix 08 conference are probably wondering, "Where is that source code Paul said would be here!?" Well, most of it is here, it's just smashed across a lot of posts. But, it's...

• Generic XNA - Threading for Windows & XBox 360

  OK, I went back to my old threading code to port it to the 360 so I could start playing about with processor affinity (as promised last time) and found the compact framework for the 360 was a bit thin on the ground for parameterized threading, so I have...

• Generic XNA - Threading for Windows

  Well I have done some basic threading in my job, basic stuff and thought I would try and put the basic threading I have done into an XNA Game Component. I am not saying this is how you should do your threading, my method is certainly not the only way...

• Generic XNA - Movies in your Windows games

  Well, I started looking into this after a friend of mine asked if it could be done. I remembered the other week on Ziggyware that someone got a web cam to stream in an XNA app and so thought that the principle should be the same, taking the output, rendering...

• 2D Particle Tutorial IV

  We have our classes so all I am going to do is now apply some pixel shader effects to both the particle system and the background image. I am going to describe how the pixel shader is applied to the particle emitter as the technique is the same for the...

So I have decided to take a look at a license for my downloads and have come across this one thanks to Amnesiasoft who posted...

• Geographic Grid Registration - An alternative to Quadtrees and Octrees

  I guess you know what Octrees and Quadtrees are so wont go into too much detail on them here, but they are basically a great way to hold static (none moving) game objects in groups for the use of culling and the like. As stated this is great for game...
