I measure my frames in liters. Right now I'm trying to fill a bucket of them to deliver them to the frame-man. He only accepts full buckets or he'll only take half of it. EDIT: But on a serious note though. Frame time or % of vsync is good enough IMHO. I don't use anything else.

idk maybe i'm over- or underthinking it but generally speaking I want to see "60 or higher", "slightly below 60 you probably fucked something up" or "way below 60 dude what did you DO"

Looking at the framerate/frametime change is a good indicator of the quality of your optimization.

Did good old fizz buzz in programming class today! Also it's always nice when classmates ask you for help. It shows you know what you're doing, and I enjoy helping out.
[QUOTE=Berkin;48671959]I don't have much of a problem with the genders, I just treat them as an integral part of the word. Maybe they were thinking of Scottish men when deciding the gender for "Rock"? V:v:V[/QUOTE] As a german, this post confused me - i thought you were talking about the music genre at first :v:

They don't obey conventions, struggle with easy concepts, and complain about things I do not, especially syntax. They know what to say, but not always how to say it. They also started out with Python, so they absolutely hate C# syntax. They complain about the errors from forgetting explicit types, curly braces, and semicolons. Although I'm a masochist who has grown tolerant to C-style syntax, I find their complaints very valid.
[QUOTE=Rocket;48690031]Whenever I'm talking to a beginner programmer I always am surprised by just how much of my programming knowledge I take for granted. I showed someone the C# debugger and they were amazed. I can't imagine writing C# without the debugger, but at one point in time I didn't know about it either.[/QUOTE] And some people know it exists but can't think of efficient ways to utilize it.
I remember when I first discovered breakpoints. Man, I was [I]blown away[/I]. I also remember discovering the Windows Forms Designer when I was 16 and thinking it was the GREATEST THING EVER.

I tried out a flat array structure for chunks, but mesh generation was way too slow with no obvious way of collapsing faces like you get with octrees. To get it running this fast I rewrote my octree structure as a C++ plugin.
i still just use print statements i have no idea how to use the VS debugger
[QUOTE=NixNax123;48690252]i still just use print statements i have no idea how to use the VS debugger[/QUOTE] Run a program. Pause in Visual Studio. Inspect the variable values at time of pause.
Visual Studio's debugger is so incredibly useful. It's always the thing I miss most when I'm using a different IDE.
eclipse/qt creator both have equally if not easier to use debuggers

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;48690791]The fun is just doing stuff till you hit a brick wall and then needing to Google your way out. I might have wasted a few weeks of my life that way.[/QUOTE] Since I'm not formally doing computer science through university (the department sucks here and I'm doing medicine anyways), this is my only real option. I like it though, I get to study something I like on my own time, and learn through experience by doing the projects I want to do. Hitting a brick wall is irritating, but it serves the purpose of indicating an area where I had to study more, because clearly I wasn't understanding something.
I remember when I first discovered conditional breakpoints and tracepoints. Good times!
[QUOTE=Darkwater124;48687056]I'm just scraping, which isn't too hard with the right tools. I'm planning on making it similar to a browser, maybe with some enhanced features through my own server.[/QUOTE] Thats along the lines of what I was thinking, scrape most data on a VPS than gold members,mods and etc can opt to scrape their additional forums with their phone. The biggest problem with iPhone apps that scrape is when they break it can take 2-3 weeks to push an update to the store.

Not much to show but I've been ripping apart [url=http://nvse.silverlock.org/]Script Extender[/url] and reverse engineering Gamebryo's animation system. Managed to implement animation information including animation name retrieval. The way these are stored and retrieved by Fallout's scripting language is fucking slow and atrocious, so it took me a week or so to figure this shit out. ignore the mess at the start [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkzXGmm53ok[/media]
[QUOTE=Map in a box;48690428]eclipse/qt creator both have equally if not easier to use debuggers[/QUOTE] before slamming me with disagrees, I've used all three and in terms of usability I found eclipse/qt better. Can anyone defend themselves so I know what I'm missing?
