|
| Status Update - 3 days, 4 hours ago Servant of the Lord #Qt now supports: #Windows, #Linux, #Mac, #Symbian, #Blackberry (via a plugin), and soon #iOS and #Android . This makes me a #happy #coder. |
|
| Status Update - 3 days, 10 hours ago Servant of the Lord At least the compiler caught the std::remove_if() on std::map at compile-time - but it took me hours to figure out *why* it was complaining. |
| Status Update - 3 days, 15 hours ago Tournicoti If you think humility is a weakness, then you are an asshole. |

| Status Update - 4 days, 4 hours ago Servant of the Lord #KickStarter #humor at it's finest, courtesy of the #indie #game The Stanley Parable (@HelloCakebread): http://t.co/dIk7cpykvw |
| Developer Journal - 4 days, 5 hours ago Fun with commas - By swiftcoder This thread over at GameDev got me thinking, “can one assign Python-like tuples in C++?”I don’t want to pollute the thread in For Beginners with that discussion, but the answer is yes, even withou... |
| Status Update - 5 days, 14 hours ago Promit "Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity," Mattrick said. "It's called Xbox 360." |

|
| Status Update - 5 days, 18 hours ago Tournicoti Mais qu'est-ce qui pousse certains à faire des puzzles ? C'est chiant à crever (cool j'ai trouvé les angles, reste plus que les côtés !) Tout ça pour des paysages à la con, des chevaux ou des dauphins ... |
| Status Update - 1 week, 1 day ago Promit Sony just announced that the PS4 will launch at $399, undercutting the Xbox One by a full $100. OUCH. |
|
|
| Status Update - 1 week, 2 days ago Servant of the Lord My recursive folder-crawling func wasn't propagating the filename filter. It would accept any name after the root folder, confusing me. #cpp |
| Developer Journal - 1 week, 2 days ago Skipping Ahead - By TheChubu Hi again! For this entry I'm going to talk about the Midpoint Displacement stage and post more pictures, everybody loves pictures! (Yes, I'm a sellout, shush!) Skipping whatever is left of the ridg... |
|
| Status Update - 1 week, 3 days ago Servant of the Lord You know you've been #programming too long when... ...even simple english words start to just not look correct. |
|
| Status Update - 1 week, 4 days ago Servant of the Lord For something more #programming related, I'd like to see this proposal make it into the #cpp standard: http://t.co/RSEzA0cdym |
|
| Status Update - 1 week, 5 days ago Tournicoti Décidemment je suis un très mauvais programmeur en C++ : j'ignore le mot clé const et ne connais rien aux smart pointers ... J'ai du pain sur la planche ! |
|
| Status Update - 2 weeks, 9 hours ago Servant of the Lord Just started playing #supermariorpg, the old #supernintendo #mario #rpg #game. Really interesting so far. Needs more yoshis though. |
| Status Update - 2 weeks, 1 day ago Promit This Marshall amp has four channels and one shared EQ for ALL of them. Who thought that was a good idea? |
|
|
| Status Update - 2 weeks, 2 days ago Servant of the Lord My #code really seem to get #feature #creep. And not good #gameplay -related features. I'm talking about hidden code library features. =P |
|
| Status Update - 2 weeks, 3 days ago Servant of the Lord Playing some #CompanyOfHeroes - just started playing the first #CoH last night. I had this gem hidden in my library for who knows how long! |
|
| Status Update - 2 weeks, 4 days ago Servant of the Lord Ah, #WW2, famous for being the worst #war in #history... and also for apparently being the *only* war #game #developers know about. |
|
| Developer Journal - 2 weeks, 4 days ago Problems... - By TheChubu Hi! So I wrote a little bit more. And this time I have pictures! Shiny pictures! Have in mind that I might jump around a lot since its kinda hard to summarize everything and have in mind I haven't... |
|
| Status Update - 2 weeks, 4 days ago Servant of the Lord Today's #cpp desire: Function aliases. I'd like to rename functions (that do the exact same thing) to improve code readability. |
| Developer Journal - 2 weeks, 4 days ago Lighting, Tile Maps, and Data Driven Development! - By Net Gnome I've recently implemented my new tile based lighting system with tile shadowing too! You can see the nice results in the video below:http://youtu.be/JZrC4N5lBPkIts nothing fancy, just a simple impl... |

| Status Update - 2 weeks, 4 days ago Servant of the Lord Just saw a #Moffett M55 #Forklift. Very impressive. |

| Status Update - 2 weeks, 5 days ago Servant of the Lord After simplifying it: (this->*(pImpl->serializeFunc))( arguments ); #pointertomember #cpp #programming #headache |
| Status Update - 2 weeks, 5 days ago Promit The MS VP responsible for games is Phil Harrison, and he's the top guy for Xbox One. Some of you may remember him; he was a top guy at Sony when they launched the PS3. Things are starting to make sense. |
