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:

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 radical ...

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