How much do I pay a writer to write for a website?
|
I am making a game news website. How much do similar sites (like Kotaku, Joystiq, PC Gamer, etc.) pay their writers? Is it per article? I realize it varies based on the content (an in-depth review would pay more than a GameDev Daily). I just nee... |

Ideas for a game development community that makes games
|
Let's say I were to make a game development community site that would focus on putting out actual game content (versus just discussion about game development). What kind of features would you guys want to see? Do any similar sites already exis... |

Cover letter: "I will contact you in 2 weeks" - yes/no?
|
I've read that it's good to indicate a follow up in your cover letter. A line like this, in the last paragraph: "I will contact you in the upcoming 2 weeks to see if you need further information."

Occlusion culling when only cubes in a grid are involved
|

Best way to handle dynamically generated 3D grids
|
I'm trying to implement a 3D grid, with varying heights. Here is a crude mock up:
The easiest way to handle this would be with some sort of height map, representing the world with a 2D grid that is basically a bird's-eye-view of the map.

Cover letter as the email body or as an attachment?
|
Quick question:
When emailing an application to a job, should the cover letter be the email body, or should it be an attachment? Or both?
If attachment only, then what should be in the email body?

Applying for jobs - sample code?

Is it recommended to submit sample code for an entry level position, if it is not explicitly requested?
If so, what are they looking for in sample code? I am guessing it should be in the language I'd be expected to work in, and solve an interesti... |

I'm looking to pay someone as a freelancer (not hire).
Thanks for the help, those numbers are really helpful. I'm looking for writers with experience, as well as some small time bloggers, so I think my numbers will be around $20-100 depending ... |
