That is exactly what I thought. I can get past the fact that it allows it to happen... but I cannot get past what the actual result is.

Falco, you're fired. DistortedLance will be taking over the next AiGD. I've been working on a level editor of sorts (Qt/C++), and I think I'm far along enough to post something about it: http://i.imgur.com/27TTnyC.png There are four tile layers (two for terrain and two for objects), as well as Colli...

Tell me what you think this program outputs. Do not cheat. When you do cheat, post your reaction in spoiler tags. package javaapplication6; public class JavaApplication6 { public static void main(String[] args) { String s = null; s += "ASDF"; System.out.println(s); } } I hate this language...

Unacceptable. Work should not be one of your priorities! Agreed. The problem is that I feel like I aged a lot in a really short time. I used to come home, open up my IDE, and crank out several hours worth of high quality C++. Now, I come home, fall asleep on my couch, wake up, watch some TV, take s...

Work. Work. Work.

I love my job, but I've been setting aside less and less time for my game development endeavors. It's disappointing. I need to finish out at least one of my projects.

Manual memory management is the sharp knife of programming. Some people are comfortable working at that level; others prefer safety. I like it when schools start students off with C because, even if they end up using C#/Java/etc. in their careers, they understand that nothing is magic. Strings, in p...

and what console isn't an "artificially constrained box with no hope of upgrading"? The ones that actually do something different: Nintendo Wii. I don't need a powerful console because I have a PC. I get plenty of eye candy there. I own a Wii because it is the only console that offered a ...

Please link me to the page on Newegg selling PS3 RAM. Ho ho, I c wut u did thar. The point is that you've been living in an artificially constrained box with no hope of upgrading until Sony finally gets around to it. The console needs features to set it apart. Otherwise, it will always be an outdat...

I seriously hope that's sarcasm. Not at all. You think the standard "add moar memory" cycle is good? I think RAM is a hell of a lot more useful than a Facebook button on my controller, yes. I'm pretty sure they said you can livestream with that button, which is a pretty big deal. And if y...

More of the same, really. The big thing for the conference was the share button on the controller. THAT kind of innovation is what the console world needs, not more of the traditional hardware upgrade cycles.

Watched the whole thing. Absolutely genius. The core of git is shockingly simple. That sets a good foundation for advanced features in the future. This shifts the pressure away from data complexity and keeps it nicely in algorithmic complexity.

Git is too good.

I opened up a bit to nested namespaces in Java/C# since you can declare them easily. However, in C++, I definitely maintain a one namespace limit. Even then, you only really need namespaces for libraries. Your final "client code" can be naked.
