Hi guys. Get all your coding and game development done before the children come along.

I'm serious.

You CAN'T code with kids in the house.

Go, go do it now, before it's too late.

Nov 28	comment	How do I calculate distance from a point to a rectangle? I agree it is an inelegant solution, but the mechanism might be a bit clearer to a beginner than shorter or more elegant approaches I have seen. It is however the only answer here to the questioners problem so far.
Nov 28	comment	Orthographic unit translation mismatch on grid (e.g. 64 pixels translates incorrectly) You matrices look good (I compared them the ones produces by glOrtho and glTranslate. Grapsing at straws here, but opengl expects its matrices to arranged in column-major order, are you doing the same?
Nov 27	comment	Good resources for learning about graphics hardware I've read the first two articles in this series. Looks like it might be exactly what I need.

Nov 27	comment	XNA Sprite Clipping Incorrectly During Rotation @KevinB, doesn't change anything
Nov 27	comment	XNA Sprite Clipping Incorrectly During Rotation @KevinB, I can't reproduce this behaviour. If I move my sprite (rotated by -45deg) towards the left, it just moves off the edge of the screen like one would expect. No sudden disappearances.
Nov 27	comment	Orthographic unit translation mismatch on grid (e.g. 64 pixels translates incorrectly) Well constructed question, but maybe we could see your projection & world matrices. You mentioned them above, but didn't include their contents. The problem will be with one of those matrices.
