Is that a "what technology to use" question?

Q: Rendering methods comparison

Derek81I'm learning the basics of writing the game engine. Now I'm on the rendering the scene aspect using the page flipping method. I roughly understand the theory but as of the implementation i can't find simple examples showing this technique. Can someone please be so nice and provide me some c++ co...

@Vaillancourt I don't think so, since they're not asking which library to use, but rather how to use it. Or what it means to use it a particular way - what consequences page flipping has as a technique. So I think it's on-topic.

@DMGregory I kind of read it as "the difference between page flipping and direct drawing" though. But I'll leave it open if you think it should :)
 
I saw it as less "which would win in a fight, a bear or a shark" and more like "what are the characteristics of a bear that make it different from a shark?" ;)
 
👍
Also, we're officially in the "second wave".

Christmas is in ~3 months from now. Not sure how it'll look like this year.

I just noticed that I have two Yearlings from 2016???
 
user92578
Actually I have three obtained in under a year: October 2015, January 2016 and Semptember 2016
 
7:50 PM
On the same site?
 
user92578
Oh, I guess maybe they could be from different sites, is there a way to see that?
 
user92578
Doesn't look like it though, I don't have enough rep on other sites and other sites do not show the Yearlings I see when I click on badges from my GDSE profile
 
One for the main site and one for meta?
I see you got one from here, but there is only one.
 
user92578
If I go to my Meta profile I see 6 Yearlings
 
user92578
If I go to my GDSE profile I see 7, so it seems that those aren't both shown here?

user92578
This is what I see if I go to Activity -> Badges -> Yearling
 
I don't know; maybe the decided to change how they awarded them at some point?
 
user92578
You don't have such an inconsistency around those times?
 
Nope!
I have had it steadily on the 24th of December
 
user92578
Looks like I need to auction off my account for the big bucks, rare Yearling badges!
 
8:12 PM
hehe!
 
user92578
Oh! It's given when you have (200 * Years) reputation
 
I wonder what the TOS says about selling accounts, though.
 
user92578
And once you qualify for a certain year's Yearling, you retroactively get any you might have missed, meaning that since my account is from 2013, I have probably reached 200 rep on October '15, 400 in January 2016 and 600 in September 2016
 
user92578
Or something along those numbers, it might consider the account age as a continuous value instead of discrete years
 
I don't know!
 
user92578

Yeah just the specifics are unclear, it's for sure the badges from the few years where I didn't gain any rep
 
8:55 PM
it's described here!
