http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory At first glance your problem doesn't seem to be a 'standard' one though. You could just brute force it, assuming that you can attack about 4 territories from each territory, you can calculate 10 attacks deep by evaluating 4^10 = 1048576 positions and...

It's a nice start, but of course just blocking porn is not taking this far enough. We should also block websites about brewing and drinking alcohol. And about cigarettes. We don't want our kids to do any of those now do we? And about cars. too. We don't want our kids to drive our cars now do we...

I found a free remake of the greatest turn-based strategy game ever: http://www.pgforever.info/ For those familiar with PG/AG, the game rules seem to be exactly the same. The new AI is amazingly tough, for now I'm just playing with dumbed down AI to get my old PG skills back.

So this means Raven is a BSc. now? Congrats!

I got the demo and just played the tutorial, half a scenario and skimmed through the manual. I will be playing a bit more later this week, but so far I like PG more. PG just seems to have more depth, except for the supply lines stuff, which might get interesting. Things I dislike compared to PG...

I was about to say Panzer General, how does that compare to Unity of Command?

My condolences to his family, RIP Deman. @Eon That's a nice gesture, let me know how to help out.

I'd say the only reason for an animal to become extinct is not being flexible enough to adjust to new environnmental conditions. In the long term, not being able to adjust to such a new environment makes a creature a 'failure' as you call it. In that sense, insects are extremely succesful, since...

Yeah, in a typical setup you'd have a local copy of the state (position, rotation) of each object in the physics thread, and then copy the local state into a synchronized state at the end of the physical stimulation step. The render-thread copies the synchronized state to its local state before...

That EA fails at employing it does not mean that it's not an interesting technology. Why not? For the mmo you can calculate your stuff on the server anyways, so for that there is no need for extra cloud connectivity.

I could think of a number of things that require lots of calculation power but relatively small framerates for which that would be interesting. Like realistically simulating the movement and behavior of huge crowds (audiences in the stadium of your favorite sports game, people walking around the...

oh, duh, then no, radius is not increased by absorbing beams.

Or you could read and post the design doc on it.

I agree, however I found that both Germany and the US were also the most politically correct places I've lived at, so part of the result might be explained by Americans and Germans hiding their rascism in these tests. As for France's excuse...

That can only be done trivially if the movement of each object is independent of that of other objects, which is typically not the case in physical simulation (objects can collide, lay on top of each other). If you use separate threads for rendering and physical simulation you can potentially...

Interesting stuff. I'd argue that deep hierarchies and 'milk that uncows itself / lists that sort themselves'-like code are symptoms of bad OO-design (e.g. using inheritance to solve every problem and violating the single responsibility principle) and that components and data oriented design are...

I found it somehow curious how 'the Dutch' seem to all shrug it of as an everyday school interaction, while the others built it into a political debate. This guy would probably get kicked out in my high school too, but more constructive criticism or confrontation was possible with many teachers...

Me three. Things like this happened every couple of months in my highschool, we just didn't have cameras to record it back in the days. Perhaps there are several cultural/education system reasons for American kids not to speak up to their teachers that much?

As far as I know you can use multiple CPUs in GoldSrc (unless there are some VAC checks in place to prevent this or there are limitations on what a dll is allowed to do that I'm unaware of). I remember LoD playing around with loading the game in a different thread and green tinkering with...
