Editors

I like editors as simple as they need to be. In Visual Studio, I take away all of those useless toolbars and windows, and suddenly it's actually fairly slim; especially if you use those auto-hiding windows. But, VS is fairly complex compared to Notepad. Th*snip*

Gamedev is great when you want to discuss programming, but there's no community atmosphere. You're just another faceless member (literally, since you have to pay to use an avatar).

Coders Workshop Changes!
18th October 2008

I don't want Coder's Workshop back, and I very surely don't want the Blitzcoder archives back. It was good while it lasted but I don't see why they so desperately want to revive the old out-dated - and fairly less useful than we remembered it to be - site.*snip*

No, unfourtunately not. I am trying to clear a texture's pixels, not an entire scene. Perhaps there is no way to do it effectively?

Optimization!
28th September 2008

That's what plSetPixel does, but that means that I have to loop through all of the pixels. I imagine that memset has some internal optimizations.
Actually, now that I think about it, I perhaps should represent pixels as integers instead of individual byte*snip*
