Elegant solution for coloring chess tiles @LarsH I was aiming for readability, not speed. But there is not much in it. I'm not sure that the speed difference between the two can be considered "a lot" when we know it will only be called 64 times, and I would like to think that a modern compiler would generate identical binaries anyway. |

Elegant solution for coloring chess tiles Hello, Kevin. You wrote The one-liners used in answers so far would have to be re-written. but also it's best to come up with generalized solutions like this instead of writing code that's difficult to change later. But you must understand that this code is much harder to tear down and rewrite than a single line. So I downvoted you because it isn't elegant or advisable to do this. |

How to avoid game objects accidentally deleting themselves in C++ You could also take a look at the implementation of autorelease in Objective-C, where deletions are held off till for "just a bit". |

How to draw equal length line stripes on a parabola? @Gustavo: No, but I wrote a flash game with this exact same requirement. My method is what you get when you search for the more general case of drawing dots or strokes along an arbitrary wiggly line. Sam's solution works but strikes me as an overcomplicated approach (sorry Sam). To me this problem is about how to draw the line correctly, not how to adjust my simulation so that the time steps give equal spacing. And if you were performing more complicated arc simulation (box2d bounces?) you might not be able to change the time step. |

How does a one-man developer do its games' sounds? There is actually an Air version of SFXR with slightly updated feature set called BFXR -- bfxr.net |
