Hi,
I am trying to use a custom sort delegate with my List in C#. It seems that the result is not deterministic, in that I have a list of items, all with equal values, but the order of the list is different every time I call the Sort method.

[XNA] Blurry Fuzzy Textures
|
Hi,
We are finding that some of our game textures are showing up quite blurry. I believe that this is due to mip mapping, or filtering of some sort. This is great for most textures in our game, but this texture in particular contains text, which b... |

Is there still no alternative to the exporter that comes with the DX SDK? I've done some searching but haven't been able to find anything. The best I found was a series of steps to get from maya to x format (ie. through deep exploration), but I'd p... |
