Ja bitte.

Is the square root of infinity bigger or smaller than infinity?

Yeah I didn't mention the cpu's branch predictor since I have no information on the performance of that component. I suppose that would make sense if your inputs are going to be really predictable, the cpu would easily predict what each branch is going to be and apply the appropriate optimisations.

He probably forgot to setup a proper .gitignore. The repo must be filled with .obj and .log files.

Thanks. I learnt to benchmark a lot better since the last time. For one thing, the random number engine is not seeded so it will produce the same result every time. Not to mention I learnt to do better statistics on these benchmarks and included all the things you need to have proper statistics. Ran...

Anyone that has dabbled with very simple physics will have seen one of these before. void Update ( const float delta_time ) { if ( alive_ ) { position_ += speed_ * delta_time; } } However, I have come to the realisation that this may be better. void Update ( const float delta_time ) { position_ += s...

C++ programs are standardised to store their variables based on their "storage specification". auto storage(not to be mistaken with the keyword auto) is the default storage specification. These variables are written in function parameters and code blocks and are created "automatically" when the cpu ...

Game is too hard and missiles are too weak. So I made them explode into rockets that also explode into rockets...that also explode into rockets.

Runs pretty well surprisingly.

Game Programming Patterns - Robert Nystrom. This book is kind of like the famous Design Patterns book by the Gang of Four (I'm told). It provides solid examples of software design patterns and some optimizations used in the games industry. It's a fun book to read, often making you laugh as it (imo)...
