I miss the discord mods.

Not to stray too far off my main topic, but I've been thinking of re-implementing some of my Quake engine in Go . This would obviously be a while down the road for me, but Go seems really interesting and the way it does OOP seems a lot better than some other languages mentioned here. Plus there's no...

I needed a name for my old warlock in World of Warcraft. This name seemed to fit an Undead Warlock. Now I miss WoW.

Finally started working on realms of quake again. I did some personal play testing tonight with 5 clients connected. Things will be shaping up quite nice here soon. Here's the 4 main classes of the game: (left to right) Soldier, Runic, Berserker, Medic You can't really tell any work's been done on ...

Somebody once said that the best tool is the one you know better. If I need to solder something, but don't know how to use a soldering iron, should I use my hammer? I'm not trying to start a programming language fight, I'm just interested in why people see OOP; C++ specifically, as 'better' than pr...

Some quotes to live by: Rule 1. You can't tell where a program is going to spend its time. Bottlenecks occur in surprising places, so don't try to second guess and put in a speed hack until you've proven that's where the bottleneck is. Rule 2. Measure. Don't tune for speed until you've measured, and...

Is there a flak-cannon now?

Anyway most games are made on C++. C is a bit arcane now. C++ is OOP that can result on simpler code (YMMV). Also any OOP able to make huge changes without affecting the stability of the code. Makes sense to use C++, and not C, to make games. I used to think the same thing, but after reading this l...

Was the reasoning for the switch from C to C++ for the engine ever explained? Wikipedia just says After the new renderer was functional, however, the decision was made to switch from C to the C++ programming language, necessitating a complete restructuring and rewrite of the rest of the engine; toda...

I could test it if you want to do it, I don't have enough experience in C to do something like this just by reading documentation yet.

Here are some links for people who want to know some more about how Linux does memory management. http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelMemoryAllocation http://www.linuxhq.com/guides/TLK/mm/memory.html http://linux-mm.org/ Some links about memory allocation in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_m...

I'm known on the internet as either dreadlorde, dread, or jt_. I'm currently hacking up my own Quake software-rendered engine for *nix to help myself learn C alongside with reading K&R. I use unices exclusively, and currently I use Gentoo linux along side with Plan 9 from Bell Labs. I'm a radica...

Great job, Baker! But did you have to write it in ASP?
