Dinner Date

You play as the subconsciousness of Julian Luxemburg, waiting for his date to arrive. You listen in on his thoughts while tapping the table, looking at the clock and eventually reluctantly starting to eat...

Task-based multithreading and Windows messages
|
Hello all!
I'm currently developing a task-based multithreading engine; meaning that many threads crunch away at a 'pool' of tasks that have to be done.

Hi everybody,
I'm a DirectX convert now using SDL + OpenGL, so I was wondering about these two things that I have not found much info on just yet. For reference, I'm just using SDL and OpenGL, no other libraries.

Release a mutex owned by a different thread (Windows)
|
Hi, I have a small problem that I'd like to fix elegantly.
I have written a mutex wrapper-class that allows multiple read-locks at the same time. It does this by locking an internal mutex the first time a read-lock is requested and unlocking it th... |

(HLSL) Arrays in Pixelshaders
|
Hi all, I had a short question.
Without going into the why (it's a complex thing) I'm wondering whether the following is possible. Basically I have a texture where the R, G and B elements point to a lookup element. The R and G elements are an X an... |

Great work! But I've always found waiting for the date the most boring part of the date. So why wait for an animated date? I know I shouldn't judge a game before playing but do you min... |

Task-based multithreading and Windows messages

Thanks for your reply...
Firstly, I agree there is no reason to multi-thread the message handling - why I wanted to handle them in multiple threads was because I had the repeating task that handled input that resceduled itself, but each time it co... |

When to use exceptions and when to use return values
