Tips for a new teacher Hey loungers, I'm going to be teaching a class for the first time next week, and I was wondering if you guys (and gals) might have some sage bits of wisdom to share with a first time teacher. It's an introductory programming class at my university...

Possible to fail college, despite having diploma Yet another self-doubting post of mine... I apologize if you all have tired of them... and yet I continue. So, the question is, can someone 'fail' college even though they have received a diploma? What I mean, at least as it applies to me, is that...

Pitch Identification Program I'm looking for a very, very simple program (at least I think it ought to be simple). However I'm having quite a difficult time locating what I want. I'm looking for a program that will do the following: Listen to the microphone for input. Repor...

Lacking Skill in your Major So... let's say you're in college, and you're only 10 hours away from getting your diploma. For some time, it has slowly been revealed to you that you lack sufficient skill/motivation in your area of study. Sure, you make good grades, but that d...

GameDev Pronunciation So my friend and I disagree on how to properly pronounce the name of this site. So I thought I'd ask you! I know it's a silly thing, but this is the lounge, after all! When I pronounce it, the 'ev' in 'Dev' sounds like the 'ev' in 'every'. ...

Interesting behavior Recently I was attempting to use the invSqrt() fast function from ... I believe quake 3. I had used it before without any problem, but in the newest program I was writing, it didn't function properly, so I went back to using plain old sqrt(). Ear...

Using engines or doing it yourself? Let me just preface this with: I have programming experience in general, just not so much that's game-related. As such, please don't say, "Go learn C++/C#/Python/<insert_fav_lang> first," because I've got that covered already ;) Okay, my hop...

Anyone seen Inception yet? Edit: possible small spoiler Quote:It was also a little odd that in Cobb's dream that started on the plane, the flight attendant, out of nowhere, assisted the team in setting up for shared dreaming. How would they have convinced her to do thi...

Idea for a new, "game"? Quote:I guess the answer I was looking for is this. "Hey Travis, this sounds really great. Please send us an NDA and we will start working on the project". Or, "I'm fairly new to this and it sounds like a great way to get my name out there, and...

Idea for a new, "game"? Quote:So if I have a really cool idea how would I go about getting the game developed? It depends... do you want to just be "the idea guy", or do you want to actually contribute to the development effort? (your wording suggests the former to me) ...

Dual wielding penalties If I were a player, I'd probably want to be able to switch to single-wielding when I want to get extra accuracy. For example, if I'm duel wielding, I'd like to be able to zoom anyway, except I'd only be shooting out of my primary hand (depending...

Craziest/most far out book you ever read? Stranger in a Strange Land - I haven't read too many strange books, so maybe this ranks low on the strangeness scale? Enjoyed it nonetheless.

UDK Questions Not to discourage you from posting here, as we have some pretty savvy folks hanging about, I just thought I'd point you to the official UDK forums, in case you were unfamiliar. I just think you might get quicker and possibly more knowledgeable ans...

LOVE I've been looking forward to giving this a go, but is it available to people in the US? Also, when you say you send the vouchers through "mail" do you mean a physical piece of paper in an envelope, or do you mean an email? Thanks
