Re: Programming paradigms

If I understood right, I don't think the phrase "composition over inheritance" means choosing "composition" instead of "inheritance". Instead it means just what is says: composing something through inheritance. Say you're working on a game that has a player, turret and mine: A player is a visual ent...

Re: Direct2D 1.1 and later

I agree, I tried to make a game in D2D a long time a go, but ended scrapping it when I came to shaders. Implementing them is way harder than it needs to be. Plus there's nothing D2D can do that D3D can't, but D3D requires a bit more code, so there's that. Once you manage to make a 2D framework using...

Re: a 20-line random walk

Ah, I meant the very first word... template < typename V > inline V RND( V Min, V Max ) { return static_cast< V >( static_cast< double >( rand( ) ) / static_cast< double >( RAND_MAX ) * ( static_cast< double >( Max ) - static_cast< double >( Min ) + 1.0 ) + static_cast< double >( Min ) ); } You shou...

Re: a 20-line random walk

Good question. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got it from, but I didn't make it. I remember it being something about certain numbers appearing more frequently than others when using rand(), and the RND function is supposed to equalize all numbers. And interestingly enough, when I use "int a ...

Re: a 20-line random walk

Well, to begin with, random number generation using rand isn't truly random, which is why you might experience these oddities. after running this code for a while, the average distance started to get closer and closer to 0, ultimately it hovers ±2 around 0. TEMPLATE_INLINE V RND( V Min, V Max ) { re...

Re: any other "aspies" on this forum?

Well, I'm certainly no expert, but what you just described sounds a lot like my sister, and she definitely doesn't have autism. In fact my mother used to work with disabled and mentally challenged people, so she knows a lot of families with kids with "aspies", and I've met a lot of them, like we use...
