Yes. I have been a happy ViEmu customer for three or four years now. It's basically perfect. Integrates with Visual Assist, too. Very worth the $99.

That is absolutely horrible. There's no reason to subject yourself to that. Use this instead: http://www.viemu.com/ I've been a happy ViEmu customer for... Hmm... Three years? Maybe a little longer. Anyway, it's just perfect.

I dropped out after I had secured a stable internship at a local game studio. After working for them over the summer of my Junior year, it seemed like a good idea to continue working for them rather than attend my Senior year. Thankfully, I

Hey, how's RAD? You guys rock, keep it up. =) Pretty much my heroes. The game industry is far better off due to your work. On fractals -- I wish it had a clear definition. It's too subjective. For example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

This is a fractal: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/inverted-energy-spiral-ja... It is obvious how to extend the drawing "to infinity". I agree that some of them aren't (no recursion to infinity) but others are.

Minor quibble: Zynga isn't a game company. They're a social engineering company. They employ people to discover the best ways to get "players" to transfer their money to Zynga. All other priorities are secondary. Sorry; this is a tangent. I

You can format your `git log` output to give you your network graph... Really? Awesome. How?

Let's say that you have 20 tasks. Each involves rolling a 10-sided die. If it's a 1 through 8, wait that number of minutes. If it's a 9, wait 15 minutes. If it's a 10, wait an hour. That is a beautifully accurate description of modern sof

Translation for readers: Let's say you have some floating point numbers, like... float A = 42.90F; float B = 00.01F; float C = /* ... */; float D = /* ... */; (A + B + C) will not necessarily produce the same result as (A + C +

Holy french fries. With Google, I can get 80GB for $20/year: https://support.google.com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answ... With Dropbox, 100GB would cost me $199/year. I've been with Dropbox forever (I have account #315) but man, it

Aha! That sounds like just the ticket. I hope it's easy to use. A million thank-you's, and a Salami. EDIT: I just saw your edit. That's what I'm doing --- shm_open(), ftruncate(), then mmap(). A little annoying that it doesn't automati

I've been trying to tackle precisely that problem. Would someone please help me out and point me at a way of efficiently exposing a read-only block of memory to Python? EDIT: Looks like "MemoryView" introduced in 2.7 is the answer.

However anything that requires some complex interprocess communication is essentially unworkable. You need to serialize and deserialize your data into wire-level protocols, which is often prohibitively expensive, even when you can get it t

That's probably true. Thank you. Did you find it difficult?

Good point, thanks. I could conjure up a few interesting stories. Also some useful hands-on (cross platform) game programming tutorials. "Learn Game Programming the Hard Way."
