This blog is intended to be a compilation of programming snippets I actually use in my projects. The articles are not intended to be the perfect approach to solve a necessity but more to be a guide on how to use different patterns and libraries. The source code should run on_copy_paste but I can’t guarantee I won’t make a mistake once in a while.

Response Curves in XML for Game Parametrization
Nov 30 2009 12:00 PM | Posted By Diego B.S. in General Programming
A basic programming rule is to avoid using parameters and magic numbers directly in source code. This article proposes an addition to this well-known design pattern, explaining a simple way to parametrize in xml the response curves that otherwise may be hard-coded

K-Means Heuristic for General Purpose Binary Search Trees and Animated Data Sets
Feb 11 2009 05:38 PM | Posted By Frédéric Brachfogel in General Programming
This article introduce a new heuristic for constructing binary search trees often used in image synthesis (games, ray-tracing etc.) and in many other fields. This heuristic is based upon the K-Means problem and gives an ideal tree for traversal algorithms. Moreover, the iterative nature of the construction algorithm make it perfect (fast and robust) for animated data sets which are very common...
