If you'd bothered to click through to that chapter, you'd have seen that it's actually a lengthy dissertation on why singletons are a bad idea, including seductive patterns that are actually singletons in disguise and a coupl

The only thing that should be interpolated is rendering. Pathfinding is part of AI, which, like physics, is part of the "business rules" side of the game, and therefore should be running at a constant rate, which has to be tuned t

>There's no such thing as an overreaction in war. There is when we (a) don't know who the enemies are and (b) live in a post-Geneva world where the international consensus is that yes, there are lines that can never be crosse
