I'm going to make a Tetris variant, but I have never made a Tetris clone before. So, should I make the tetrominoes be images, or as individual blocks? I think images would be easier to move and rotate, but when it comes down to removing lines, I think that individual blocks would be easier.

Then I will buy it. Thank you everyone!

Borderlands, Minecraft, and I will probably be playing some games from Steam. Will the computer work for that? I think it should, but I'm not sure.

This is what I need then, right?

Dropped the i7 to a 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-3210M Processor. I can't change the GPU. Is the GPU something I can buy seperately, then replace? The cost is now $800.

Does this fit my needs? It was $750, but I jacked it up to $900 :(, but with SSD, I would've broke the budget (Free upgrades on the harddrive!). 14" HD LED-Backlit Display with Super Glossy Surface (1366 x 768) Intel GMA HD Integrated Graphics with Share Memory Architecture up to 1.7GB 3rd...

You can't build a custom laptop? I would imagine it's possible.

I've heard a lot of arguments, and one side says Alienware computers overpriced, and others say they are the best things out there. So, I want to build my own Alienware m14x thinking it will cut down the price. So I want to build the computer without the fancy backlights, no fancy rubber looking...

I'm planning on making a game, and I'm setting up the essentials. I'm going to be using random fractal terrain because it looks realistic, but I don't know how to set it up. I read something saying to split a plane into four quadrants, move the center of each quadrant to a random point inside...

Okay, thanks!

It's hard to explain. I have stuff in various folders, usually parts of webpages that I include with the include() function. I a folder called "login" I need to access stuff from a folder called "include." The include folder is in the same directory as login, so I use "../include/something.php"...

Thanks! It worked. EDIT: Gosh I had this one time before, but, I get errors when including something from a previous directory. I added a .. before the path of what I wanted to include, which worked, but then stuff that was included, within the include, had errors, which I fixed. So then I went...

I try to check if a session stored variable isn't there to determine whether or not a user is logged in, but I get an error about the variable not existing, so I have no idea how to accomplish this without giving the user an error about a variable. The code is similar to: if...

Thanks everyone! I think I got it all working now.
