Off Topic Question: As a compiler (C++ compiler esp) slides through its versions, it gets better optimising features and every newer version can produce faster binaries. Can this cycle end? Or, will the cycle continue forever? (Like gcc 5 m

Game development never sucks! Believe me, what sucks the most is the public mood. Think about it, what if Gangnam Style would not have released, the RIGHT time? Psy would have said music video development sucks?

AMD is also talking about 'GPU technology' afaik. Game devs head for it too, so that they don't have to manage a shader language. It is inevitable. This will happen.

by z3phyr 14y ago
Though, GPUs are meant for highly specialized number-crunching, they doesn't have direct access to system memory. One also gets additional latency transferring data between RAM and GPU memory. Also, GPU is a temporary technology. Wait for s

Compiling to native code != Performance. Haskell compiles to native code too (ghc).... Good Graphics and Physics, where required needs performance. As the hardware is improving day by day, our demands are increasing two folds. Just think ab

Productivity loss with C++ is over-rated. The Pro C++ game programmers (esp Renderer and Physics programmers) are as productive. For example, Forth is more productive than say, perl to me; But perl is more productive for sys admins. To top

C/C++ + scripting (Lua, <My own scripting language>) is a killer combination, which won't go anywhere for decades for shear performance reasons.... (Theory : you can always get more performance by using optimised, hand-tuned C/C++

What kind of changes can this 'steam-box' generation bring about for developers as well as consumers?

Great work imho !!!! One thing I may want to add - Porting the game to different platforms would be great.

Yeah, with the users point of view, 8 is stunning!!! But what about the developers and power users? Think about those AAA game development studios, Large budget software houses? Will they develop high end software by touch? This will sound

AAA high quality video game engines are always writern in C/C++ Video games are one of the domains where C++ will always tend to be THE standard choice, indispensible when creating engines.

I would like to see alternate lisps grow up, like racket, joxa... :)

Off-topic Why racket is not more popular than other lisp dialects?

Unreal Engine is writern in C++. So is Unity3d. They just provide an abstraction layer to US and C# respectively....

Is there any possibility of the video game industry market shifting toward C# in forseeable future? I emailed Aras, lead graphics programmer at Unity technology. He replied that C++ in video game industry, esp in game engines is indispensib

But minecraft dosen't look photorealastic; I mean, the engines like luminous, unreal engine 4, id tech 5. Can C# or Java be optimised to run these kinds of codebases with near similar efficiency?

If anytime I have to use a 'managed' language, I go for python and haskell. Though, most of the time, I work on my video game renderer engine in evergreen C/C++ , I am quite satisfied and productive :) There is no use of C#, Java or VB for

Also, take a look at Ken's voxlap engine. He is so bright!! I wonder, why he is not so active in the industry :(
