Re: data storage
Unless you are making an MMO or other sort of game where data is stored on a server, there is absolutely no need to use something as large and slow as a SQL database in an indie game. And I also think XML is over-used. It's expensive and slow as hell to parse. It's overkill in almost every scenario...

Re: Regular Expressions
Not technically a programming question since this is a theoretical CS question, but sort of relevant. I need to give a regular expression for a language that contains an odd number of 1's or exactly two 2's. The alphabet is {0, 1}. Here's my attempt, idk if this is correct or not. (1* 0 1* 0 1*) OR...

Re: data storage
This. There's no need for a database, you're better off making something yourself which does exactly what you need without all the unneeded SQL stuff which is slow and useless for a game.GyroVorbis wrote:...Roll your own.

Re: Dennis Ritchie is Dead
Come on... It's a show about games, not programming. All technology in this world is built upon other technology. I know that i personally enjoy the benefits of many ingenious inventions that i just take for granted. I have no idea who invented the tetanus vaccine, (Well, now I have since i looked ...

Re: So I Gave It a Go...
It doesn't look right, maybe try to split the shading between the head and body pieces?
The top shading doesn't look right because it just curves to the edge very unnaturally.

Re: Are you addicted to programming?
I tried to answer the questions legitimately, some of them were just... a little too much. I definitely don't start writing code in my e-mails lol. And I was afraid when at the languages part it mentioned "COBAL" ... *shudders* Anyways, I still got the addicted result anyways :) a fun litt...

Re: So I Gave It a Go...
Pixel art is usually done at small scales
Try making it like 64x64 and uploading that here.
Also, I tried clicking on your app link but it got caught in a loop in the series of tubes.

Re: BitBucket now supports Git
And the only reason this is a big deal is that they allow unlimited private repositories. :twisted: https://bitbucket.org/ The UI looks a lot like github, I like the unlimited private repos though. :) I'll stick with GitHub for now, and my glorious GitHub app. ;) http://i55.tinypic.com/iqlyfo.jpg

Re: Windows 8 Just (significantly annoyed apples business mo
Just going to nit pick on this point. Pretty much every other operating system can include, for example, a browser of their own choice without getting sued. Not to say they couldn't support more, but they work under different rules than their competitors. As for the rest, if they can just make Wind...
