ELO algorithm for handling people who don't play often @davidluzgouveia - that's not strictly the definition of "fair". When scoring players in a tournament, the result is "fair" if no player has an advantage that another player does not (without respect to skill). Having said that, I think the case we're talking about is a casual competition between friends; the scoring is more about encouraging participation than outright winning. |

How can I orient a projectile along its flight path? If you want to point your projectile toward Vector3.Up (or down), you still need to transform the Vector3.Forward vector; however, you should save the projectile's quaternion, and use it next frame to derive an up vector, rather than using Vector3.Up in your calculations: Vector3.Transform(Vector3.Up, quaternionLastFrame). This ensures your projectile won't suddenly flip. |

How should a team share/store game content during development? I didn't suggest using Dropbox as a version control solution, but rather for transporting deliberately unversioned files. I can't comment on SpiderOak as I've never used it. |

How should a team share/store game content during development? @romkyns: Yes, I'd definitely store it all in a VCS. At some point, you'll regret not having it. In regard to managing very large repositories: it's a pain, but it can be mitigated by placing data in separate repositories. Our current project at work has an "art-source" repository (100+ GB) and an "intermediate" repository (~20 GB). The artists commit their texture/model sources into art-source, but then export them into intermediate for consumption by the game (or build system). Only the artists need the full art-source repo; everyone else just needs intermediate. |
