Jo Engine Wish List / Re: Reading binary files with pointers instead of returned char stream?

« on: October 19, 2017, 02:53:52 pm »

I think Johannes specified the temp pointer as char because when you use pointer arithmetic like temp_pointer+2 what you really are saying is temp_pointer+(2*sizeof(char));

+1 
I need to read data byte per byte so that's why i'm using a char * (to avoid cast every time)

If you do pointer arithmetic on a int* like int_ptr+2 what you are really saying is int_ptr+(sizeof(int))

Yep ptr + 1 gives the same value as ((char *)ptr) + sizeof(*ptr) and also the same values as &ptr[1]

If I remember correctly if you try to do pointer arithmetic on a void* it wont work correctly because void has no size, since it has no size the compiler does not know how much to add.

Nope, the size of a pointer depends of the architecture. (32 bits => 4 bytes, 64 bits => 8 bytes, etc). It's just not portable.

Hi!

There is several resolution available, but I suggest you to start with the native resolution like 99% of games

NTSC: 320x240
PAL: 320x256

Free talk / Homebrew section on Wikipedia

Hi,

The homebrew section of Wikipedia is completely outdated. Especially the Sega Saturn part.
I don't know if someone knows how to change the page, but we need more visibility to increase the interest of people in my opinion.

Project announcement / Re: Project Blaze

Unfortunatly, I think not, because all the latest post on their sites only talks about the Dreamcast 
Also the Sega Saturn logo was removed from the IDE.

Jo-Engine release / Release 8.2

« on: October 11, 2017, 02:28:49 pm »

I started to implement 3D in the engine, but before that I had to write some mathematical functions especially for matrix (Don't use it, because I might do breaking-change)

I also found unnecessary operations in sprite loading that I fixed
