Earthquake!
|
Just felt the effects of 6.9 Baja California earthquake here in San Diego. Amazing how fast information goes about the world with today's technology. Anyone else feel or hear about it? |

Google Chrome Extensions

It's official. Google Chrome has me defecating brix, especially with the long-awaited arrival of extensions.

What's there not to like about Google prod... |

Proofreading and linguistics

I was just wondering: is proofreading a feasible profession?

TinyXML and the heap

I wasn't sure whether to post this in General Programming or in Alternative Game Libraries, so I apologize beforehand in case this is the incorrect section.
I'm having a bit of trouble with TinyXML, in that during its call to LoadFile, it calls th... |

Inheritance, Composition, and Aggregation
|
Hello. If I understand correctly, I can use inheritance to create new classes by deriving from super classes, allowing me to make use of polymorphism, and eventually creating a hierarchy of classes. I can use composition when I want to "compose" an c... |

Menu Item 5 [Menu Item 6] Menu Item 1

I'm getting a debug assertion "vector iterators incompatible" so I traced it down.
I discovered that when I step over in this line

I have a Player class, representing a paddle for a Pong clone. This class has an Update(float dt) function, which updates its position, size, and other attributes. However, since there will only ever be two paddles, how do I go about writing thi... |

Say, where's good to visit in the USA?

I'm quite biased here, but you have to check out San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego in California. |

3 years ago when they had to remove 4 premolars and 1 wisdom tooth I got EIGHT injections stabbed into my mouth, gum and palate. Getting 4 shots in your arm is nothing.
All in one sitting? Damn. |

I am not able to understand how to make both the players move simultaneously.

Proofreading and linguistics

I'm still rather young, and I've had several spur-of-the-moment-type "passions," until I realized they were more like interests than passions. Perhaps one day I'll find out what my true passion is.
Thanks, Tom. |

How to get the length of enum in C++?
|
IIRC, SFML uses:
// Only works in certain circumstances.
// Use at own peril. :)
// Refer to Codeka's post.
enum Foo
{
Bar,
Foobar,
Fubar,
COUNT
};
or something similar. |
