is there any way to prevent intellisense from going full retard when working with multi-line object initializers?

also for a second opinion is this readable? or am I abusing the object initializers too much? pastebin.com/cqS2Aamt

Sometimes I wonder what's going through peoples heads when they do something like this:

payloadData[i] = byte.Parse("FF", System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);

Hmmm, out of interest, how does everyone store their AABBs...

Center, Extents?
Min, Max?

Extents only (w/ Center as a parameter)

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I have top, left, bottom, right.

Well, actually, I have x,y,width,height.

Then I have a few helpers for the other parameters.

Daniel

so younstore center, extents

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Not center. I guess what I store is Top, Left, Width, Height. :P

Those are the values on my entities.

Daniel

hah

thats an interesting approach lol

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Well, with all the helper methods, I guess the way I store it doesn't really matter. :P

Daniel

3:37 AM

so I guess

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Could be center and extents, I'd still have Top, Left, Bottom and Right helpers for the collision stuff.

Daniel

you update your AABB each frame?

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Yeah, update the x/left, y/top part.

Daniel

hmmm

I'm thinking of just storing my AABBs as:

class AABB {
Vector3 const* m_center;
Vector3 const* m_extents;
public:
AABB(Vector3 const* center, Vector3 const* extents) : m_center(center), m_extents(extents) {}

Vector3 center() const { return *m_center; }
Vector3 extents() const { return *m_extents; }

Vector3 min() const { return (center() - extents()); }
Vector3 max() const { return (center() + extents()); }

};

Maybe have m_extents stored inline, but maybe not

that way, it doesn't need to be updated every step

and you can pass it around without having to also pass around its origin

Ah, Mindworx, apparently ur method is called : "min" width :P

tho actually, wouldnt that be bottom left? :P
