Would you like that? No, then it''s mean. And I''m pretty sure he knows that.
GameDev''s supposed to be a kind and helpfull community, if someone in this rooms thinks otherwise then let him speak today!! Or forever think in silence..
Is blatantly giving bad adviced, based on ignorance and bad practice (ignoring the Windows event model and performing painting, etc every cycle even if it''s not necessary) "kind" or "helpful"? Don''t get touchy-feely; revere fact over feeling and truth over "everybody getting along."
I''m brutal in the For Beginners forum because experience has shown that a lot of unskilled/ignorant people will come in here to answer questions and thus feel more "competent." It''s an ego thing. I don''t like answering beginner questions, but I hate having to re-teach so-called "intermediates" their fundamentals.
Capice?
