|
I have been struggling for the past several days to come to grips with batching in my 2D renderer. I am uncertain how to best handle two scenarios, both of which I have outlined below.

Copy polygon region from one image to another (C#)
|
I would like to copy a polygon region out of a source image, scale it up by a factor of two, then draw that scaled polygon to a destination image.
Some context: this function is designed to copy a region of a user-created drawing to a print templa... |

Crashing The Video Card
|
Your hardware is fine. A TDR means something caused the hardware to stop responding past some timeout point. Except for exposing a hardware bug (exceedingly rare), you're really only going to encounter this problem when you have a shader or comp... |

BH Game Store/Showcase! New Games Up! Come Check Them out!
|
A few thoughts:
- Sponsor is misspelled "sponser" consistently throughout the site.
- Sign up is incorrectly joined as "Signup".
- And various other grammatical and spelling errors.
- On Chrome (and other WebKit browsers?) the last line of... |

can I overload return types?
|
As noted above, overloading the return type of a function is generally not allowed in most scenarios in programming languages. I just wanted to point out that, in object-oriented programming, some languages support covariant return types. Useful, but... |

[Postponed] XNA Workshop - Introduction
|
One notable omission I see from the workshop timeline is a discussion of the content pipeline. Unless, that is, you planned to file it under Week 10.

Why is javascript so slow in IE?
|
First, it needs to be said that the IE javascript engine is an awful relic. The WebKit (SquirrelFish), Gecko (SpiderMonkey) and Chrome (V8) javascript engines are vastly more performant. So no matter what you do your performance in IE will be... |

Scheme Help

Force us n00bs to think in algorithms (and better code)
|
Continuing with the theme of manipulating numbers: write a function that counts from 1 to MAX but only prints numbers whose digits do not repeat. For example, part of the output would contain 8, 9, 10, 12 (11 is invalid) then later 98, 102, 103... |
