I'm a spam-fighter. I hate spam, and spammers aren't in my good books either. Spammers are scammers, so always assume that they're lying and don't ever buy anything from them (they'll usually just "take your money and run").
I'm also anti-RIAA. Although I do believe that creators and inventors should be protected in ways that help them to benefit directly from their hard work, I have a big problem with what the RIAA is doing because it seems to be limiting our rights when it should really be focused on solutions that don't inhibit (and preferably also encourage) a freer exchange of information and ideas.

Isometric game engine in JavaScript/HTML5 Thanks Tor (+1) -- so, in other words, it started out as open-source vapor-ware, then the source code was closed before exiting the vapor-ware category. =) |

How can I create NPCs and scenes? +1 for an excellent answer, though I'm curious about how you determined that Sean is using a map editor that allows events to be placed somewhere. Is there a standard for map editors? |

Is this the right architecture for our MMORPG mobile game? Also look at PostgreSQL -- version 9 has replication technology, PostgreSQL has an excellent long-standing reputation for handling heavy loads really well, many of the developers seem to be optimization nuts, and best of all it's open source and completely free for all uses (including commercial). |

What can I do to make sure that I have the energy to work on my game while working full-time? +1 for making sure family get the lion's share of time. Your family will be there for you right up to the end (and beyond), but any venture capitalists who might buy your software won't be -- your family needs you a lot more than an investor ever will. |

What can I do to make sure that I have the energy to work on my game while working full-time? I find that working early in the morning like this (a few hours before business begins) does result in more productivity (unless I get started on Stack Exchange -- it's very addictive!). |

Is it correct to assume that behavior trees work for AI, but the player character and static entities still need state machines? I like seeing "etc." there because that can cover the rare occurrence of a "mechanical error" (e.g., the firing mechanism jammed), defective ammunition (e.g., the bullet was a dud), etc. +1 for a really good answer. |
