Apr 29	comment	Is Free2Play w/ cash shop “non-commercial”? Being hard to enforce and being legal are two different things... but it's a valid point.
Apr 29	comment	Is Free2Play w/ cash shop “non-commercial”? In other words "games that can be obtained free of charge are considered non-commercial" is completely wrong. If any money is made - from players, ads, or selling email addresses - it is commercial. This is typically true.

Oct 30	comment	How can I modify how my scene is drawn to make it look like it's taking place at different times of day? (Any explanation for a downvote?)
Oct 30	comment	How can I modify how my scene is drawn to make it look like it's taking place at different times of day? @W.N. - "[N]obody here can tell you what colors to use to make your game look good." That includes myself. See Nicol Bolas' answer for why this isn't possible.

Sep 14	comment	All Pairs Shortest Paths in Weighted Undirected Graph Sorry, I didn't mean to say it's off topic here, I just was suggesting that another stack may get you better responses.
Sep 14	comment	All Pairs Shortest Paths in Weighted Undirected Graph I'm not sure this belongs on Game Dev... this is a programming theory problem, and just because you're using it in a game doesn't mean you need to ask it here.
Sep 11	comment	Spawning units in a world made by Perlin noise? Does the map move around with the player, or does the player move around in the map? That is, will the map be changing? If not, I'd suggest filling in all the non-reachable points at generation, so that you don't need to worry about them.
Sep 7	comment	A way to store potentially infinite 2D map data? I lost sight of it, sorry! I'd still like to get it cleaned up, but I'm slowly reworking some of the code between class and homework, so that won't be for a while. For now, the old, un-pretty demo is here: j.mp/qIwKYt By un-pretty, I partially mean it requires a lot of explanation, so don't forget to read the README and feel free to ask questions here or via email.

Sep 2	comment	How are voxel terrain engines made? @Dan the Man - I can't help feeling like you're looking for something more. Your question is extremely broad, since you're asking for a method rather than a solution to a specific problem. You've got two nice answers here already (that's not just an opinion - we've got the badges to prove it!) and if you want less general answers, it might help to start implementing your system and asking questions when you run into problems or big decisions. We're not here to write your game for you - the answers here should be more than enough to get you started!
