How can I make water appear darker with depth, like in Minecraft? @Jonathan: You don't render the water blocks, you render the blocks on the sea bed with the colour darkening and then just have a single alpha layer on the water surface. |

How can I make water appear darker with depth, like in Minecraft? @Xavier: I just made it up. The e^-kd bit is just an exponential decay, which is a standard function for things that gradually tend toward zero over some value (depth). The multiplication by (1-m) and addition of m are just to scale and offset the decay so that it ends up at a minimum of m but still starts at 1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay |

Where can I get DirectX headers for Mingw? Is there any reason why you are using Mingw instead of Visual Studio Express editions? You'll be able to get a lot more help and support that way, and most would agree that it's by far the best free IDE for Windows. |

Algo for given an amount of XP, find a character's level You could also argue that this should be in its own function, and the levels should have their own class etc. etc. -- I just want to show people how to use the function; good coding practice can be left for another question :-) |

Algo for given an amount of XP, find a character's level I would have, but that's an implementation detail, and bloats the example, distracting the reader from its purpose. |
