I recently graduated with a BS in CSC and am just getting bored with the mundane programming im doing in the industry. im going to start making videos on basic and advanced programming topics. but i need suggestions from you guys, so if there is anything that you think would be cool to have a video...

Pretty fucking sweet indeed. I read a bit on BSP trees when I tried implementing a miniature ray-caster. I've yet to finish reading the whole thesis, but so far so good. Have you guys heard of sparse voxel octree? A little bastard by the name of John Carmack is inventing this data-structure. I just...

Brute forcing a password will get you nowhere. If it's just five characters long and can be a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and the 32 symbols on the kb (I think, quick count), then there are 26 + 26 + 10 + 32 = 52 + 42 = 94 possibilities for each character, so you have a total of 94 * 94 * 94 * 94 * 94 = 733904022...

have you considered UltraEdit32?

Any lower level language is good for beginners, also as it teaches the basic programming principles. actually its reversed around. lower means heading in the direction of assembly, that i would not recommend for a beginner, maybe doing that along side something like C yes. but alone. no. you can le...

Interests shared : very important Success of parents : i dont know why everyone thinks this is not important, i think it is, its a good indicator of what she will be. Attractiveness of mom : not very, but if she is dog ugly and you see she was hot when she wat younger, well then you might have to re...

i personally think pascal is a great language to learn on. its very powerful. has pointers. and just remember this. when you start programming its not really important what language, but rather that you push yourself to learn programming concepts like design patterns, like singelton, stategy, factor...

I think PC's are better :D But then again mac's are good because they cant get viruses.... Good luck :D Mac just keeps there source codes tight...so its a smaller risk of virus...compared to not as many programs/games...I think PC + Anti-Virus owns Mac....big time...but when you start incorporating...

HUH? actually macs can get virus', can mac are really awesome development platforms.

i actually own that book. and its not as bad as some might pretend. i think the title is misleading. i dont think they were being serious about 21 days. its just catchy and i guess sells. PS: if anyone wants it and will pay postage you can have it. the book covers basically everything but skimps on ...

Since you've already made your decision, for future readers: Learn both, maybe even at once. If you have to pick one to start with, though, I'd recommend C++ because it's easier to go procedural knowing OO than OO knowing procedural, in my opinion. thats is a good point, however, any OO program can...

depends what your end goal is.
i would suggest getting both books. but like for example, i did some stuff for redhat on the file system, and all we used is straight C.

hi, just recently joined. so just thought id offer something to the forum. i remember when i started game development i struggled to get collision code for line vs line and so on. ps: it was commented, but not in english, so i just took it out. line is just a class with, x1, y1, x2, y2, variables. i...
