Heh. In case the code isn't clear, I'm iterating over every pair of circles and moving them towards or away from each other, so that after several iterations, the distance between any two circles will approach some constant. Of course it is not possible to reach this condition with a lot of circles,...

This is fun to play with: mouse + arrow keys. Also try with max=50. I made this prototype for part of another prototype I'm making. :P ' Dot Clusters By Kristopher Windsor #include once "fbgfx.bi" const sx = 800, sy = 600 const max = 5 'circles total const gs = 100 'line length type p as d...

Nice. Sorry I never got around to helping.

Oh yeah? What kind of work do you do? I'm doing PHP. Since I got here right while they are transitioning from Java to PHP, I'm the second full-time PHP developer, and a large part of the code base will soon be in PHP. So I'm awesome or something??? :p I've mentioned the company on my Facebook and L...

@Aave - I know that can be done, but it's 22 lines vs. my 12. My solution can be re-implemented quickly for whatever data type you're working with (even multiple times in the same program), which is why the size matters. Counting_pine has an interesting solution, but it won't work well for other dat...

If you're looking for a startup company, you must have finally had exposure to the business programming world. *shudders* We're in the same boat :( Heh. Well, I meant that it'd be nice if I got some great idea, started my own company and made a few million. *Jinx* Working at a corporation has its a...

I think you could be a successful indie game developer, if you only polished the user interfaces of your products more. Then again, it depends on how bad you want it. In my dreams of a distant future, I make it big in a startup that does something more useful than games. Maybe I could survive as an...

Nice, kiyotewolf, although I think you could use some other data structures just as well for that case. :)

Aave wrote:A proper implementation wouldn't be much longer in code.

I disagree because my implementation was 12 lines of code (plus the actual stack usage), hence the name of the thread.

I thought you quit the game dev scene? :P Never! Well, I wanted to get out of the monotonous loop of making small games in FB. This was nice because I learned some new tools / libraries. Of course now that I've got a job, I'm not considering game dev for a career, but it's still fun on the side. An...

Nice, which college? I've recently made this: http://kristopherwindsor.com/rampsderp/ About Ramps Derp is a game made by Alex Robinson and Kristopher Windsor. It was developed in Spring 2011 for the SJSU Game Dev Club. The game is written in C++ using OpenGL (3D), Glut (windowing), Box2D (physics), ...

Nice. ^^

I've played demo on PC, I've played full version on Xbox 360, and I've completed full version on my PC. THIS GAME SUCKS BADLY IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. Now I'm ashamed of my nickname :'( Dude! After all this time, I *never* realized that's what your name meant! I know, right? Next he'll be saying his ...

But it really is your SSN XOR'd with a random key. :p
