This really depends on when you need to use the cash, and how much risk you can accept. This is pretty deep: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_portfolio_theory ... but it basically boils down to: Invest in a mixture

I like how you are thinking outside the box a bit. Having said that, there are a couple of issues: 1) This is really not a hard problem for a computer to solve. Detecting different image types is pretty trivial. You made it a lot easier by

What kind of game? How many developers? Like others have said, your best bet is to probably build your framework in C++, and use a scripting language (e.g. python) for the high level game dynamics. I see no reason to use C. C# will probably

So I went to the IV dog and pony show. There was maybe 1 project that was actually interesting out of ~dozens. They don't have the technological research base to actually finish a project in house, so I think they tend to spin stuff ou
