I think your best bet for an indie game is a simple game design, but polish it until it shines. Angry Birds (which btw I consider to be an excellent game) may be the perfect example. The core game...

Heh, well, it's not any worse that any other language to be honest, except maybe the connection between spelling and pronunciation, because English has nearly none. ;) But English grammar is still...

I've read about the non-essential test, but while the test works for all examples, I can find a lot of other things I could randomly drop to still have a complete sentence. The word "all" for...

Grammar question

Generally speaking English text seems to lean towards a greater amount of commas used than Swedish text (my native language). Usually comma placement in English text doesn't disturb me, although...

The Radeon 9700pro was 33.8GFlops, so maybe something like an 9600 might be around 25. Not sure how other parameters line up. But you may consider the mobile space to be roughly what the desktop was...

Default allocators are typically just wrappers around new and delete anyway. But even with a custom allocator, you'd still have the problem I mentioned with clear(), because an implementation that...

Well, the technique is designed for this particular type of geometry, i.e. cylinder shape. So it will work on bars, railings etc. also, but can't just be applied to "everything". I'm sure you can...

Yes, it's very cheap. To core of this technique is basically a handful of ALU instructions in the vertex shader.

It's a standalone program in the DirectX SDK, called GDFMaker.exe. You use it to edit resources which you then link into your executable.

I implemented a screen-space derivative reconstruction thingy in my Volume Roads demo. It might be useful for you too.

Sure, you need to fit the entire render target. Or I suppose it would be possible to put a partial render target in eDram and the rest in Video Ram, but I wouldn't expect that sort of flexibility....

For eDram to be truly useful it should just be a fast memory area addressable like regular video mem. This way we can put render targets in regular video memory if we like and others in eDram, and no...

I heard somewhere (forgot where) that DXGI 1.2 would come to Win7 sp2. Not sure about Vista. But given that DXGI 1.1 was brought to Vista with sp2 I don't see why DXGI 1.2 wouldn't come to Vista/Win7.

DXGI 1.2 will have official stereo support according to the preliminary documentation. This will almost certainly supersede both those in time.

You can use the depth buffer as a texture in DirectX. In DX9 only with vendor extensions such as DF16/DF24/INTZ/RAWZ, but in DX10 it's a standard feature.

Of course. My understanding of the OP was that we were only talking about having a z value available in the shader, so no ROP level culling.
