Would you use this VS2010 extension?
|
Hi GDNetters,
I've developed an extension for Visual Studio 2010 which enables to dock any window within the VS Shell. It's currently very bare-bones. It works, but exhibits quite a few glitches, although it's fine for my personal usage.
For ex... |

Hello GDNet, long time no posted :)
While looking into my A* pathfinding code, I've noticed that a condition which I thought happened quite unfrequently was actually happening very often: when attempting to add nodes to the open list, finding that... |

Rotating normal-mapped sprites

Hello!
I've been toying with normal-mapped sprites and have implemented it quite successfully. However, I'm having trouble with rotations. When I rotate my sprites, the normals are kept unrotated so they do not light as they should. I've tried to... |

I have a 128x128 alpha, 8bpp texture which is dynamically updated with values of 0 and 255 indicating if the corresponding tiles of my world are walkable. I have two other static textures: a ground texture and an obstacle texture. I want t... |

Would you use this VS2010 extension?

I just tested, embedding explorer windows works well.
When I say "works well", I mean it's useable. Applications typically do not behave perfectly once docked in VS, and I don't think there's much to do about it as I consider my docking trick... |

Yeah, multiple displays (and virtual desktops) rock, I agree they are generally much more useful than my extension. It is a more of a small gimmick that can be useful once in a while. I can't say I've used it often myself but it has still been f... |

Just went from WinXP to Win7 (nanoRant)
|
I actually love pasting in a command window. You can do it with this cool keyboard shortcut:
alt+space, E, P
It's even cooler if you're using Windows in french, as I am:
alt+space, M, O
Yes, it's weird, but it impresses work collegues :) |

Although I'm no fan of motion controllers, there's no doubt to me I've definitely bought the right console.
That kind of thinking is so annoying to read.
There is no "right" console.

Fishy A* behavior

I've done some additional tests and am now I understand more of what's going on, and it seems it could be normal.
First, I've tested what happens if the path is perfectly diagonal. In that case, shorter path to open nodes are never found eith... |

Fishy A* behavior
|
I've just checked and it seems to happen only when the unit has to move diagonally. I still can't quite understand why there would be two paths diverging and merging back, as you (MortenB) suggest. I'll have a closer look at this. |

Oops, sorry, I should have mentioned it: I'm using a simple euclidian distance for the movement cost between grid cells as well as the H cost. Diagonal movements are allowed and have a cost of sqrt(2). |
