That was funny, here's my contribution.

Workplace hierarchy

Most companies have a coding standard that you must follow. Being a good coder means being able to adapt to a changing environment. Modularity is important, because it means your planning ahead. Not sure exactly what respectable code would define as. I don't know... I guess that would be simple, yet...

Like a bug attracted to light, you still want it even if it might kill you. :p

China did something similar for their parade they had recently; Spraying chemicals in the sky to prevent rain.

Interesting that chemtrails are presented in mainstream news, but many people will still deny their use and existence.

Actually I'm studying DirectX 9.0c right now, reading 3D Game Programming with Direct X 9.0c: A Shader Approach

You can google tons of resources, also the SDK comes with documentation. Like Netwatcher said, if all else fails, buy a book. The included cd will come with examples you can work with.

No thanks. [rant] Reminds me of those ads I see all the time online, "CLICK ME, Get paid to do surveys" but this one also might have some pyramid scheme thing going on, like by inviting more users you would get uber "PTZ" or something. Answering mind-numbing questions for an over...

I think Google might have a couple of articles
The search function works here too, this question has been asked a lot.

Anyway, two books I like:
Fundamentals of Math and Physics for Game Developers and Beginning OpenGL for Game Developers.

I think I played about 5 hours and never touched it again... Being a fan of the original Tactics for PlayStation, this game pales in comparison. I like the graphics and music, but that's about it... The art style is way too kiddy for me, the story is not engrossing nor interesting, and the Law featu...

XianForce is correct. But there's also more! Since most of us programming games here, speed is an important issue. Passing pointers to a function is faster than passing objects, just imagine for a second: Your game character takes up 10000 bytes of memory while a (32 bit) pointer takes up 4 bytes. O...

Currently as untextured gl_polygons. Triangle fans would probably be faster, as well as display lists.
Lots of room left for improvement.

While back I made a simple demo featuring grids with hexagon tiles. I've added a download containing the demo and source for whom is interested, I've heard many people say that they could not figure out how to do hex grids, this is one solution.
