Not a professional game developer; I just like making things that move. My web site includes a listing of my game and animation work.

I'm currently interested in the web as a platform, because it is essentially 100% cross-platform and safe for the end user. My current project (as of March 2012) is Cubes, a Minecraft-alike game (engine?) focusing on user-created designs and functionality.

comment Hexagon collision detection for fast moving objects?
@Byte56 No, I mean it's a sketch of an algorithm, not even pseudocode.

comment Extract smaller frustum from camera frustum?
If the new frustum is for a sub-rectangle on the screen, then it is not rotated. Use the same pos and rot as the original screen bounding frustum.

comment Extract smaller frustum from camera frustum?
Why would translation be a problem? It's equivalent to left ≠ right or top ≠ bottom. In fact, you could perfectly well do the same thing by generating a projection matrix with different left/right/top/bottom values; I described it the way I did because the math is more direct (it doesn't depend on your choice of near/far distances or if you're using a FOV-angle-based projection matrix generator).

comment How would one create a “start button” on a website similar to some Korean games?
Custom URL schemes work on desktop platforms too (though recently they have sometimes been restricted due to security problems with poorly implemented handlers). For example, Steam uses them.

“A few”? I strongly recommend that you at least go far enough to make sure there are no objects being created, no memory allocation, inside your loops.
