Jul 17	comment	Graphic Design Resource for Indie Game Dev? The topic you have in mind is probably game UI design.
Jul 17	comment	Replay system: record inputs or events? Bingo, especially on #1. If I had the time to create some input recording system, I would be able to log every single test, as well as catch some hard-to-reproduce bugs. Being able to load these "rare case" logs again makes it easier to spot the bug as you step through your code.
Jul 17	comment	How to generate water pools on a 2D tile grid? The question doesn't state whether a heightmap will be used. Maybe it's a simple 2D map where height isn't necessary.

Jan 30	comment	Is using SharpDX or SlimDX easier than using DirectX directly from C++? When I mentioned low-level stuff, I mean the stuff that is usually pertinent to most graphics APIs, so basically handling buffers, shaders, API render states, etc.

Jan 13	comment	What is the future of XNA in Windows 8 or how will manged games be developed in Windows 8? +1 for Johnathan. SharpDX now supports DirectX 11.1 for Metro compatibility.
