Dec 2	comment	Algorithm for determining random events Just the best example I could think of off the top of my head where a flat table of weighted options wouldn't suffice.

Nov 23	comment	What are your favourite game-specific coding gems? re:soscastoa I think most people know that as sohcahtoa (replacing 'sloped side' with the more specific, if admittedly more obscure, 'hypotenuse'). Flows off the tongue easier, and I think thus easier to remember.

Nov 17	comment	Obscuring stored info in a flat-text file I like the idea of incorporating a checksum!

Nov 17	comment	Obscuring stored info in a flat-text file I don't know why, but XOR is never in my 'toolbox' of things I tend to think of. I've really got to change that. Strange that something so simple can be so useful.

Nov 17	comment	Obscuring stored info in a flat-text file As jpaver says, I'm aware it's not possible. I'm not even trying to make it difficult, really, just not simple.

Nov 5	comment	Are square or hex grids better for pathfinding? Just an aside, hexes can be mapped to a 2-dimensional array. Picture a square grid, then shift every even column half a step down. You've got an offset square grid now, which is isomorphic to a hex grid.

Nov 3	comment	Tiled game: how to correct load background image? More specifics on the nature of your game could be helpful. For example, depending on theme and style either a single, detailed image could be fitting or a tiled one would. Heck, if it's an abstract game like geometry wars, a procedural background might work best.
