Although they generally didn't compete in the 4kb genre, Farbrausch open-sourced many of their demos and demo-making tools a few years ago [1]. fr-041: Debris [2], and kkrieger [3] (the 96kb FPS) are particularly worth checking out for

It turns out that Trenki implemented the OpenGL ES-CL 1.0 interface on top of his software renderer (link [1] above), which should serve as an even better example of how OpenGL (may) work. http://www.trenki.net/content/

The struct vec takes a template parameter T, and it's constructor takes a different template parameter U. Therefore, you must specify both template directives when defining the constructor; one for the class type, and one for the const

This is great and so concise, but I'm surprised that the author didn't implement OpenGL's interface (obviously not all of it), if the goal is to show how OpenGL works. Another good example of this is Trenki's software re

I don't think it's because you're squeezed for time, but more that you're sense of time has changed. You're probably used to extracting information you want in a very short period of time via sites like StackOverflo

Slightly off-topic but I find the BWAPI more interesting than the AI aspects. Does anyone have any further reading regarding this kind of thing?

It's location has meaning - it's right on the edge of the known lands.

> This points to a need for a new language that avoids these issues. I think Rust is the answer, but I would like to see more languages try to fill that gap--competition is healthy. Programs written in C and C++ may have issues because t

A good alternative for C++ is http://gcc.godbolt.org/ - especially if you're more interested in the assembly output of various compilers, rather than the output of the program.

Because while(1) evaluates to a constant, which can sometimes be a bug and thus, some compilers emit a warning. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6t66728h%28v=vs.80%2... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3490823/why-msvc-generate.
