How do you get that your machine(or one of the many you are observing) was breached, if the attacker is not doing obvious damage? I think monitoring connections is standard procedure to find this out?

Yeah, but in the long run (or very soon), you might have to use grammar misstakes as a captcha, to seperate bots from humans.

I am guessing yes. It just would be really, really slow and expensive to build, so you might as well switch to something more cheap, like diamonds.. Edit: but it is not clear to me, whether this technic can be applied to macroscopical objec

Ok, I also have no hard data at hand, but in my impression the vast majority of projects even started by individuals today do not use the GPL, but rather MIT or alike. Me too, because I do not like the concept of copyleft. I like the intent

I don't know if you are wrong or right. But to be sure, I just stay away from copyleft as it seems safer ... see the point? Most people want to write software, not worry about licences. MIT seems easier, so people use it. For commercia

They just realized they didn't really needed their own rendering engine. It would have been a nice to have, like in the old days of IE6, where they could decide over the direction of the web. But more valuable to them is that people a

Yes exactly. But the projectiles are moving every tick, so the evading logic wants to run every tick as well. But optimizing that will be up to the player..

Yes. I just expect raycasting to work allmost as good as possible, not on 50% to become a unnecessary blocker. But they say, they are going to fix it with some priority.

But this approach actually also works and delivers different results in 2D space, than doing what you probably have in mind. This approach in 3D would basically mean live raycasting rendering, which is something I would like to try in the f

Well, the world is destructible, so when there is a small hole (of dynamic size) in a wall, then a enemy bot should really only see the player, if there is no rubble blocking the path. Meaning tiles are waay too big for my simulation and ra

It used to be waaaay more expensive and has gotten much better now. But it still costs, all I know is, that when I do 600 raycasts each, it costs me around 8 ms on medium hardware. Batching it reduces the cost to 2 ms for me. For simple thi

Yeah, but the point of terror is to make terror, that people are afraid. Not to actually damage much. A dirty bomb would be a perfect terror weapon as people are afraid of radiation and mostly would not trust government when they declare it
