I can't wait for this to come out, I really want to mess around with the CPU. I love the idea of having to manage memory in such a small environment like that, and how your power is drawn out of your ship and all that. Really really really cool stuff, I've been messing around with different emulato...

It is not, unless he is REALLY stretching the format(i.e. he is still posting serious sounding stuff about it in his twitter feed). I do think there was an April fools joke where he said the name would be "Mars Effect" though. There is already this subreddit about the CPU: http://www.reddi...

Notch has recently made this website, which announces his new game 0x10^c. http://0x10c.com/ It is a sci-fi mmo-ish game taking place in space, but what strikes me as really fascinating is the fact that spaceships will have real 16-bit computers that control the ship and can be programmed. http://0x...

Just out of interest, is this not the case for most languages, except for C/C++?

I get really confused when you talk about scripting, mainly because I have never used one and don't understand why it's needed. If you need something done, why not do it in the native code you are writing in? Why switch to something working on-top to do it? Because you don't have to deal with compi...

I'd ask then, what strategy would you also recommend for writing games also within a team. Should we in first instance get togheter and define all classes and then implement them? I think that approach is called the waterfall model, and is generally not considered a good approach. Agile development...

What? Scheme is cool

‘Fuck off you gay AWP whore’

What about the whores?... or the bastards for that matter.

I already know the answer to the first one. Concerning the second one: Why don't we have a spoiler tag? I have tried to make the text the same color as the background, so highlight it if you want to read it :) From looking at the possible ways you can get 36 as the product of 3 divisors of 36, and b...

Done.

What?

Post a video (on youtube) of your game

Haha.

Reminds me of this one. I think it was posted in this forum some time ago, maybe you remember it.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but it has something to do with the fact that pow is not defined for an interger base: double pow ( double base, double exponent ); long double pow ( long double base, long double exponent ); float pow ( float base, float exponent ); double pow ( double base, int exponent ...

You should post the code which causes the problem. After spending two minutes on google it turns out that you should cast the first argument to a float, double or long double. http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/170446-pow-ambiguous-call-to-overloaded-function/ But then again, without seeing the...

So as I understand it, they want to control the domain name system. So they are going to force DNS servers to follow their specifications? But what prevents people from using DNS servers outside of America? Generally, i think that many of these anti-piracy laws we see are, seen from a technical stan...
