CPU usage, game loop and sleep() I doubt it's different in Java, it should just call the OS (only way to interact with the task scheduler). And the OS will try to get as close as possible to the time specified, but if there are other processes who want to do things and you sleep for a bit then you might just skip a frame because the OS gave control back much later than you asked for. It'll probably not be a problem, but it might be in certain cases, which is why it's usually avoided, unpredictable timing = bad if you want to squeeze everything in 16ms. |

CPU usage, game loop and sleep() Actually sleep(0) is perfectly fine, because sleep will tell the OS "I'm done for the duration of my time slice, let some other process do something, and schedule me for at LEAST this much time later". Which is also why hardly any game uses sleep in its main loop. There are no guarantees that the game will be allowed to run again soon, which can cause severe stuttering in the frame rate. |

Multi Screen Rendering in Unity Another option is to use any eyefinity card (last couple AMD cards), these are consumer hardware and have drivers which allow you to tell windows you have on screen the size of 3 (or 6 depending on the card) monitors. amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/Pages/… |

Algorithm for constructing the corners of a regular, n-sided polygon Barring weird overflows the only n with n * 2 * PI == 0 I can think of is 0, which as far as I know is undefined, same as i / 0. So no problem right? :) |

Algorithm for constructing the corners of a regular, n-sided polygon Aah a very good point, I'll add that caveat in the answer. |

How could I implement something like Minecraft's crafting grid? It does, and is basically what I wrote above (with possible optimization of binary search). However that leaves a few options for crafting torches which you can fit basically anywhere. By first getting the size of the recipe you don't need to add 6 recipes for torches and you limit your search to only those of the correct size in one step. -- So basically the options for your point 2 are group by size, move the recipe to a corner or add more duplicate recipes. |
