1 - The fact that you were bored does not mean the place was boring. Your ability to make this distinction reflects A LOT on your ability to perform critical thinking and objective evaluations, both of which are part of most technical jobs.

Both. You can find existing references for each one of those techniques, and even for the architectural concepts behind an engine. But you have to figure out which techniques are the right choice (you may need to invent some), and how they

May as well add my little Speed Haste (released as Circuit Racers in the USA): https://github.com/TheJare/SpeedHasteSrc Not as noteworthy as those in the list but hey, it's mine.

The internal Commandos Level Editor had a bug where it computed twice the memory footprint for the level. When the boss found out, he ordered the tool programmer to NOT fix that bug or tell anyone about it.

Hehe I always get a kick off of showing my wife Uncanny Valley examples. The other day she was really creeped by the E3 FIFA footage. I on the other hand must have developed a way of adapting, or teaching my brain what to enjoy, because I l

Conceptually it's very easy: World(t+1) = Sim(World(t)) but performance in practice is going to suffer a lot compared to in-place mutation, for any simulation that has a great degree of temporal coherence. I don't know of real w
