May 6	comment	Decal implementation When drawing decals, you could always set the depth buffer comparison function to less-than-or-equal rather than less-than so decals are always drawn just on top of the surface they are affecting.
May 5	comment	Alternates to scratch damage to solve combat deadlocking I was going to suggest giving every weapon bludgeoning damage that cannot be blocked by armor. Swords and daggers would have small bludgeoning capacity, but axes and maces would be very effective.

Apr 25	comment	*A path finding for road network - data structure to represent directivity** Not really. If each node contains its position, the algorithm should easily be able to calculate the distance between two adjacent nodes. However, if the cost is non-trivial, such as terrain cost, that should be stored in each node or in dedicated edge structures.

Apr 17	comment	Why Hex Maps instead Octagon Maps? Octagons don't tile.
Apr 16	comment	Pathfinding on a uneven planetary surface The important thing to understand here is that A* does not necessarily operate on a plane; it operates on a graph. Although within each cube face, the nodes are arranged and connected in a grid, there are also node connections across the edges of the cube.
