This is the first of a series of articles which intend to document the PATRIA 3D engine, an OpenGL based framework I have developed during the last 2 years with my Team, the Team Novasoft. The engine was born by an idea I kept in my mind since years and that I was able to […]

 We passed the 25.000 downloads with Fantasy Racing just yesterday. I have to admit that it is a real satisfaction and I feel very proud of what my friends and I have been to achieve in this "free time" adventure.

Soon we intend to move to Beta […]

This document aims to document how to support 2D objects positions in a 3D engine supporting different resolutions and aspect ratios.   This is the solution I have currently adopted in our PATRIA 3D engine and it is not for sure the best solution available there.   In such conditions it is quite difficult to […]

 I recently faced some memory corruption problems on my PATRIA 3D engine which are quite painful to be solved. Luckily I started using Valgrind, an opensource dynamic analysis tool which can debug the memory allocation of a typical C program. Valgrind is free and can be downloaded at this URL. http://valgrind.org/ The very interesting part […]
