Also, when you have an object that has assignment operators defined, references aren't gonna work (because they can't be re-seated), and so you gotta use pointers. I don't actually understand that point. Looking at your Vec2 class, is this a good example to illustrate that? Vec2 Vec2::GetNormalized...

Thanks to the Beginner C++ tutorial, I understood that references are useful for passing objects to a function, but I have no idea in which situations pointers are necessary. If I'm not wrong, the main purpose of pointers is to dynamically allocate memory, that's the reason why vector class uses the...

Thanks albinopapa again Maybe I'll give it a try. I think the first thing I'm gonna do is what Chili has said: multithreading. I'll tell you if I make any progress

Albinopapa, thanks for your great explanation, but I have to read AVX instructions carefully because it seems that the syntax is not user friendly at first glimpse. What calculation do you make? I've heard of the Mandelbrot set before, something with squares and roots... but I'd love to have a go at...

Cool! I remembered that, on my 486, on a resolution of 160*100, it still took some seconds to render :) It's faster now but still not real time. For a fast zoom see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLMUfBikxTY at 3:15 if you don't want to watch the whole video :) Cool video! :) Now it's easier to re...

Hello everyone, I'm following the "Beginner C++ Game Programming DirectX" tutorial and I've been learning a lot of stuff (thanks, Chili :D ), so I decided to create a program about the Mandelbrot set using the Chili Framework. The Mandelbrot set is a very famous fractal in math whose shape is calcul...
