If the Koreans go to war, what will happen to USA economy?
|
I'm not well versed in global economics/politics, and the articles I read deal with the tension between N and S Korea, not the fallout of having it escalate to a war. So I was thinking about that
If they go to war, and USA get involved, it might... |

Algorithm for placing stars on a grid to form a galaxy

I'm not sure which topic this should go into, but I think Math is best for this situation.
I'm working on a Master of Orion clone (beyondbeyaan.blogspot.com), and things were going well until I decided to add feature to allow users to specify... |

I'm working on a Master of Orion-esque game, and I got starlanes working. (See here.)

Starlanes - How to create them?

Okay, I've completed my asteroids clone (as seen here) and I want to work on a Master of Orion-esque game.
I'm stuck on a problem, starlanes. For those who don't know, a starlane is a line connecting two stars that allow travel. Basica... |

I've completed my Asteroids clone. The download link is here.
About the game:
Instead of just one boring type of asteroid that splits after you shoot them, this game features eight different types of asteroids. Yes, you heard me right, 8!

Asteroids of Beyaan
|
I'm working on a souped up asteroids clone. I'm sure you all played the normal one, where you shoot rocks, they explode into smaller rocks, and so forth. But it gets boring after a while.
So I'm presenting my game, Asteroids of Beyaan!... |

Asteroids get stuck inside each other (2D circle collision)

Alright, I'm remaking my asteroids clone, and I want good physics in this game. I've studied 2D circle collisions and reactions, and this should work in theory but in reality it's another story. Whenever two asteroids (circles) hit each other, they... |

Infinite looping while implementing A* algorithm *SOLVED*

We're working on a tile-based tactical RPG, and we're stumped with this problem. I developed this function that returns a list of directions to follow on the map. However, on really hilly maps, it enters an infinite loop.

I seriously doubt that USA and China will fight each other directly. I was thinking that if China do back up N Korea, it'll be similar to the Korean War, a proxy war.
Reading an article on some of the wikileaks, it sounds like China wouldn't... |

Quitting programming as a job!

Hm, I'm the opposite, it seems. For me, I enjoy fixing bugs. To me, it's like a puzzle "Why isn't this working the way it should?" and I investigate the cause. The end result is similar, I feel momentarily rewarded with a "I'm a genius! I figured... |

Algorithm for placing stars on a grid to form a galaxy
|
There are no star size preset in the grid cell. Each grid cell is a placeholder for a real star. Each star can range from 2x2 to 4x4 grid cells in size.
What's happening is that I pick one location (x,y) from list of legit locations, then c... |

Completely fill the grid with random stars. Randomly pick N of them. This algorithm depends only on the number of cells. The simplest and cheapest solution.
Why didn't I think of this! It's so simple! When... |

Algorithm for placing stars on a grid to form a galaxy
|
The stars don't occupy only one grid cell. They can be 2x2 to 4x4 grid cells. There is also a rule that no stars can be adjacent to each other (there's a minimum distance between each star)
So therefore, I won't be able to know the max... |
