    Okay... back when I was using SDL, I used to have 35 different images for one sprite, rotated at 10x degrees for each image, x being the image number. Now that I'm using OpenGL I dithced that system, and just used glRotate. Much better. However, I'm getting into a problem of per pixel collision detection. Back in SDL, I just found the area of the overlapping rectangles, checked to see if the alpha values were above 0 in the same places, and if they were, return true. Now, since I only have a copy of the image facing north, how exactly would I go about collision detection?

    Does anyone have an idea how to resolve a name to an IP and then get the IP as string? At the moment I would need that function for a VB app to check if the client is resolving the address correctly. Any help, comments or ideas how to solve the problem are welcome. I am sure some more experienced programmer will laugh about this.

Downloaded Fruityloops and basically had a headache from not knowing wtf to do. Anyone out there know a good prog for remixing songs and making trance/techno tracks? Something basic and easy to learn with. Thanks.

  22. I'm trying to find the right approach to hacking rconpasswords in quake 3 based games. After doing a lot of research, I've come up with three options: 1. "Rcon Sniffer" by searching in packets sent/recieved from the server. 2. Some sort of client side hack, that exploits some bug in the specific game. 3. Something I haven't thought of yet. If it's option 1, I do know how to do it in a lan situation, but I don't see how it can apply to an internet server: If the admin's password goes from him to the server, it never comes inbetween me and the server, so how can I intercept it? If it's option 2, I've already tried this approach, and the game I'm trying it …
