Should I use XML

id="hp" ftype="float" value="75.0f"/
Or depending upon your experience, you could also look into integrating a sc... |

New Game Engine Discussion
|
I think the material concept is still too fine - too granular. In my opinion, the correct design granularity for a given game is subject to and dependant upon that game's content.
As an example... If I wanted to design a space-adventure game... |

x-y = 3
Ironically, this means the less work you do the more productive you are =)

How would the optimal pointer syntax look like?

Correct Approach for a 2.5D game engine?
