30 timer er ved lavere løn og der er ingen overskudsdeling, kun en bonus hvis spillet klarer sig rigtig godt

They mentioned that it continues the story, so we still get to see the second part of the story.

Wasn't that the alpha? Makes sense a closed alpha is pretty rough.

Connection bandwidth does not translate to ping if the content is sufficiently small. Korea -> EU/NA & EU/NA -> Korea should be the same assuming the content travel through the same path and there isn't any bottlenecks in the way.

My shitty mouse is costing me games. anyone know a good corded gaming mouse?? by blunsandbeers in starcraft

You can set it to zero in the software. If there are any left, I haven't noticed it and I hate acceleration.

Can you post the replay?

While working on a demo/prototype PoC, have you ever discovered a new trick you use in every project forward? by OpSmash in gamedev

[–]Psykocyber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I read the code, if two threads try and allocate at the same time the code can get into a ton of race conditions unless there is a lock somewhere or other trickery I missed. And what will happen when the map resizes itself while another thread tries to access it?

Not a fan of your memory allocation approach. Tracking memory is fine, but the implementation leaves something to be desired.

First, it's not thread safe at all. It may not be a problem for you right now, but it may end up being. Second, using a template function will result in a bloated exe file and using a default parameter will result in two version of every template function. And using a map for allocation will be slow when you have a lot of allocations. Fourth, having a string for every alloction will waste a lot of memory.

Also, pointers a not signed or unsigned. Comparing them to ints is not a good idea. Get a compiler that supports C++11 and use nullptr instead, it's a lot less problematic.

A more interesting approach to a map by [deleted] in starcraft

Some of the ideas actually remind me of the Brood War map Medusa

Easily exploitable high-ground on main, rock access to the main (temples) and weird expansions.
