> So by this logic someone not wearing a helmet while in a car is also an idiot. That may also be true, assuming that we have similar data showing that helmets help as much in cars as they do on bikes. Considering that car incidents are

Among others, these two points scream of grasping at anything to throw at the argument: > wearing a helmet may create a false sense of security and induce risk-taking that cyclists without head protection might not make. > Bike hel

It's hard to tell from the abstract alone... 9.2 (95% CI = 7.5–11.3) for pedestrians, 6.4 (95% CI = 4.7–8.8) for un-helmeted cyclists but to me, it looks like the number is chance of traumatic brain injury as a pedestrian in an

If by such games you mean very specifically MMO's, then sure, I'll concede that time sync may be more valuable, but even then event serialization is normally done via an authority hand-off model that does not actually require ti

Gaming is actually a really bad example since as you say, you can't really on the clients telling you a time as it may be spoofed. Thus the clients times are always ignored, and thus time sync is irrelevant. I'll say that in about

There is indeed a lot more to do. While there is clearly diminishing returns, secondary rays for instance are computationally very difficult, and contribute significantly to the final perception of the scene. While we're able to take a

To add to that, Sweeney hasn't really been a graphics programmer since the late 90's. He's always been much more focused on engine infrastructure, leaving graphics to other very competent programmers at Epic.

The same principals apply, it just becomes more difficult to understand what your language may be doing for you in this regard. Compound types in most languages will store their members contiguously, at least in cases where easy to do so. A

Or even better, how about we just have an array of only alive objects.

I think the big difference is that they come with the OSes that those types of people are likely to use. And being stores, they provide software that package managers are unlikely to provide. I think package managers becomes less useful to

Actually, linkage is the same, it's name mangling that's the problem. Regardless, libs using extern "C" are still build using MSVC++, and that is the question I was asking about.

I disagree, I find surprisingly often, the top one or two voted answers have low quality in many of the types of searches I end up doing on StackOverflow. Ultimately, it ends up being a resonable ranking when you have a smaller set of answe

In theory, given the attribute, and macro system, it should be possible to implement this as a library in the language, correct? I think that is vastly preferred over a constant runtime always hanging around.

Does Rust's patches affect codegen? Hypothetically, if not, you should be able to just feed the IL files into the PS4 toolchain.

That's great, but honestly, can it link against MSVC++ generated libs? I've meant to try it out, but kept trying to build rust from scratch, which may be a mistake.

Which parts of what? Modern game engines? Nearly all of it, minus often gameplay scripting. In the hypothetical C++/Rust fusion engine? Whatever hasn't been rewritten yet in Rust, and specifically things that interop with other C+

You'd be very surprised at how resourceful game-developers are at using the tools they prefer. Either way, console manufacturers will add support where there is demand. Certainly you're more likely to see it used first in more lim

To be fair, Rust may be the first modern language seemingly designed around the same set of problems that we encounter in Game Development. I'm actually pretty surprised that it's as little known in GameDev as it is. That is perha

Sure, but when you're at the tutorial level, I think you can mostly ignore that. Worry about it once you've got the rest down.

This! The layer you build can be super small, about 100 lines of code or so, and people can be taught to replace the whole thing rather quickly, and we can stop getting junior programmers that thing it's ok to use OpenGL in immediate m

It's pretty much exactly the same thing except you multiply everything by a matrix that looks something like this instead of the standard projection matrix: 2/screen_width, 0, 0, 0.5, 0, -2&#x

Thank you... What people don't realize is that "Random Noise" doesn't actually occur that often in real terrain. The bump tool in game engines is the bain of realistic terrain everywhere. This: http://i.imgur.

That's funny, because in my opinion, the functionality of the model, data without display logic, is obvious, and the view is obvious, layout for data. but the line between the controller and the view seems very nebulous. At which point

The shading language is similar to CG and HLSL, not very similar to GLSL.
