OpenGL project... F-22

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wabarakatoh,

Some days ago, we (my projects' team) decided to make our openGL project a game mmm having that is related in somehow with F-22 (if u know it), a plane, that goes off, lands, does something in the air (that we didn't determine yet).

Anyway, 2 days ago, i decided to think a little bit about what we will need to make people feel they r flyyyyying, so i sat down and determined to prepare the Camera to move around like if u r drving a plane, right, left, up & down.

Just the day before yesterday, i managed e7l to make the camera rotate around the view axis and the perpendicular axis to the view and the up vectors, for those who r not related to game programming by any mean, just skip this paragraph.

Now, we will have to get a good Plane Model (which we prefered to build on our own but we r not 3DModelers Experts) then we will still have the big problem, the scenario, we need a good and interesting scenario for what is the mission of this plane, will it be F-22 fighting flying enemies, or a Merage fighting ground enemies, or maybe an EA* Plane fighting flying birds :D.

If u have an idea, drop me a mail (I know u will not do it on time cuz u will not read it on time :D)

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele

Visual Studio 2008 Not saving changes or project properties?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh (Peace upon you) I’ve recently ran into problems with VS 2008. Summarized here: When you try to edit the project properties (specially C++ projects) you are faced with a little nice message saying “Exception from HRESULT: 0xF9F0F308”. Sometimes when you are editing a file (specially large ones), VS doesn’t recognize you’ve made changes (ie doesn’t display that ‘*’ in the files tabs) hence, when you save, nothing actually gets saved. For those 2 problems, a friend explained the problem and a work around (till they officially release a fix)… Open up a Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt Run cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE" Make a backup copy of devenv.exe in case something does not work right. ie. copy devenv.exe devenv.exe.bak Run editbin /largeaddressaware:no devenv.exe Happy VSing… :)
