Guild Wars Networking and Database Info

I picked up the link to this blog post from the Guild Wars Incgamers site. The post links to two more detailed articles (here and here) that discuss some of the technical issues behind Guild Wars.
The articles aren't amazingly in-depth and are rat... |

Visual Studio + Makefiles Problem
|
This might be a problem I'm having with Visual Studio (2005, Standard) or this might be a problem caused by a lack of familiarity with Python; I'm not really sure yet. Here's the situation:
I have a .vcproj that is set to a "Makefile" configuratio... |

I need to compute a triangle adjacency table (e.g., for a given triangle at index n with a mesh, what are the three triangle indices that share the edges of triangle n). My algorithm is detailed below.
The problem I am running into is that some mo... |

bool slist percent true

Well my reason for a singly linked list was because after it's created it shouldn't need to be altered at all. It just needs to store the data. A vector seemed like it would have more memory overhead.
Properly-sized vectors will have less ov... |

[SlimDX] Unable to create a base project.

Your project is probably set to the "Any CPU" platform. Change it to the x86 configuration. |

bool slist percent true
|
std::vector would be leaps and bounds better than slist.
slist is a singly-linked list. Linked lists are generally quite poor at iteration relative to something like a vector, because a vector has much better cache coherence (algorithmically, they... |

bool slist percent true
|
Why slist and not a container that better suits your requirements, then?
Counting both during iteration is a reasonable approach. I would make sure to keep the slight ugliness of the std::pair (or whatever you use) encapsulated in the class itself... |

Not only would I never recommend beginning programmers look at this site, I would actively discourage them from doing so. Here are just a few of the reasons why, based on my initial read-through.

The name notwithstanding, For Beginners is not the place to advertise your own tutorials that you believe are suitable for beginners. Moving to the annoucements forum. |

Translating a Triangle - DIRECTX VC++
|
Note that in manipulating the geometry in this fashion, you're implying that you will be uploading the geometry back to the card every frame, or at least after every manipulation. This is not an approach that scales particularly well, in general.

How to make a sin/cos lookup table (for faster trig function)
|
More importantly, "tricks" are usually dangerous. You generally should never use them without understanding them completely -- how they work, why they work, what the context and assumptions are, what the implications are for other code, et cetera. |
