Real-Time Shadows with the Stencil Buffer? It's that easy:
- Render scene
- Position light
- redraw shadow casting objects
Cel-Shading (Toon Rendering) with texture overlay? This is how to do it:
- Position light
- Draw object.
Network games with GLBasic are so easy:
Server
NETHOSTGAME 0
pl = NETCREATEPLAYER("foo")
NETSENDMSG(pl, 0, "Test")
Client
NETJOINGAME(ip$, 0)
pl = NETCREATEPLAYER("bar")
msg$=NETGETMSG(pl)
