| Great Stuff my man. Keep up the good work. I program video games and FPS are my favorite to do. I can tell you from experience that 99.9% of the code writers out there are sloppy and careless. They also have no concept of what EFFICIENT code looks like or why it's important to at least TRY to be efficient. I have seen coders grab and manipulate half a MB of data just to retrieve the 16 bytes they needed in the first place. My guess is they figure "Heck, it's a Pentium 4, it can handle it" and just code away to get the job done, not done right. Sure, a few wasted CPU cycles doesn't mean much, but when your entire job is sloppy, and you have 400,000 lines of code each wasting CPU constantly, you find quite quickly that programs bog down heavily. I've seen on many occasions where a few lines of code changed can turn a 100% CPU gulping monster into a 5% CPU sipping kitty cat. Think Efficient, your framerates will reflect it.
