Re: loops versus recursion

From my personal experience, recursion is often easier to implement and understand in certain situations (traversing trees, sorting algorithms, etc.), but slower to execute than an iterative approach.

I often run into an issue when I make small brushes where the compiler will try to snap them or something and end up messing them up. Does anybody know of a qbsp3 version that fixes this?

Re: Account System for the Quake Engine

I don't really see what the issue is. Many of these projects could have achieved the same result starting f...
