I've been working on a 2D physics sandbox game for a long time now, and ran into a snag a few days ago. I'm using GWEN as an interface, and decide to make my own (windows-only, if need be) truetype font renderer to extend the basic GWEN openGL renderer....

I've recently come across a very interesting and promising implementation of C#-like delegates for C++11, that claims to be faster (and, in my opinion, cleaner and more powerful) than boost::function (which is now std::function). ...

I'm currently developing a game in Unity, but as some of you may know, C++ is very important to know if you want to be a game developer. I already know C# quite well, and I want to start learning C++ now. My issue is that all of the tutorials I've found,...

I think Objective-C is widely used for app development, which I kind of want to get into. I really want to do apps and software. Are they the same or are there differences? EDIT: Never mind, I guess they're different. Don't really know why though.

I'm making a simple game as a first step into Android development (using Eclipse and programming in Java). I have various enemies moving around on screen and instead of declaring each one individually I'm trying to declare an array. In C++ I would...
