What's up this week? 11/22/12

Lambda Expressions? I find them very handy in C# but they do not always lead to the best performance :mrgreen:

As they say it's not the tool it's the user

A fool with a tool is still a fool.. :mrgreen:

Actually I was just referring to http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html#algorithms

BTW, a bit of off-topic. Will we celebrate a month since the last weekly update at 22.12.12? Maybe by releasing new update with actual game design information?

I was skimming through the forums and saw this, wanted to respond.

I should have mentioned the "continuum crowds" paper. If you google that you'll find the paper and videos. That's what originally inspired the Supreme Commander 2 flow fields implementation.

My implementation didn't follow the paper exactly, but the fundamentals of integrating path cost over a field are the same.

I've written an article in a new AI book called "Game AI Pro" that covers more details on the flow field work I did. Here is the amazon link:

Hope this helps,
