Accuracy vs distance formula 1/r^2 falls off rapidly. Seemingly, most FPS modify your aiming point in a solid angle and trace a ray. The bigger the angle, the harder it is to hit distant targets. |

Polishing your game: how much is enough? Sometimes the polish phase needs to reach the "shipped" terminal state. Nothing like a shipping deadline to break out of the trap of infinite polish. It is not unusual to perform rapid release iterations (well at least in the iOS AppStore). |

Objective C and C++ for Game Development C++ portability is a bit of an oxymoron 8) C++ tends to be the lowest common denominator for cross-platform development. +1 for liking Objective-C. |

What are the app file size limitations for different smartphone OSes & carriers? Can't tell if you are asking about Android specifically or all... The iPhone has a hard 2G limit on the app size. The largest app I have on my iOS is 600M+. Rage HD is 750M. |

Weighted Random Distribution @AttackingHobo Sorry, I wasn't clear. The lookup table would be to precompute something like y = sqrt(x) or any of the functions mentioned by @Nevermind above (as was suggested in the accepted answer). |

Weighted Random Distribution If you can sacrifice the memory, a table of 100 pre-computed values would be faster (and slightly more accurate). I doubt the user would be able to distinguish between the full and pre-computed versions. |

What is a good flat file format for storing a 2D tile map that can grow infinitely in any direction? I would suggest looking into sqlite sqlite.org. It is very self-contained, indexed, handles blobs, etc. This would help with performance and address "holes" in your file. |

What type should you use for keeping game score GameCenter on the iOS uses a signed 64-bit int that can be formatted in many ways (points, time, fractions), it seems flexible enough. |
