C# Bool vs Int16th January 2012 [quote]I don't know why you're storing a boolean in an integer value. Even in C where you can do this without a problem, it's probably a logical error to give a value two meanings in that way.[/quote] Because the original source does it! I still haven't b*snip* |

TVShack Extradition16th January 2012 Come to think of it... if this extradition is what it takes for the UK court system to avoid being infected by the insanity laws in the US, then it might actually be a good thing! |

TVShack Extradition16th January 2012 [quote]He is being extradited.[/quote] Yes, but he couldn't have been without a UK court order. Just because someone makes a decision in one country doesn't automagically make it valid in another country, is what I was trying to get at. |

Development speed...14th January 2012 I really doubt that. The difference would probably be smaller from say, BlitzMax to C# and XNA, but right now the Project Dollhouse client is around 14,000 lines (including comments), and I would not be surprised if it would take at least 20,000 lines (inc*snip* |

PlayMyCode vs Kids12th January 2012 Hm, I've read it too, but that was a long time ago. I can't actually remember it being that offensive? Except for some stuff at the beginning where John and John were mistreated by their dads who didn't like them playing games. |

PlayMyCode vs Kids12th January 2012 The issue, the way I see it, is that the teacher either wasn't able to, or simply ignored the chance to, inform the student about the rendering technique from which the "experiment" had been named. Not sure which of the two possibilities is worse. |

PlayMyCode vs Kids12th January 2012 Still, the teacher should have been able to identify raycasting as a rendering technique, and could have at least recommended "Masters of Doom" as an informal introduction to its application in a game for the first time, or pointed the student to a website*snip* |

PlayMyCode vs Kids11th January 2012 These weren't exactly kids... sounded like they were 15 - 17. And yes, spinal, I agree. But I think a lot of people come into programming by way of hacking and curiosity. Part of the reason I got into it was because I was curious about how games were mad*snip* |
