yea

Yea, I'll probably fiddle with it after code jam

I've not worked on a game engine directly before, only ever done a little reversing and written some bots

Sure

I didn't see any issues listed in the ticketing tab for it

oh

link?

Never worked on a game engine before, sounds interesting

is it OS?

I mean, I know it's a game engine

patching what?

Well...I don't know, I just really love software engineering...I just like the idea that problems follow patterns, and the 'graph pattern' of problems is still interesting to me because I haven't explored it to a depth at which point it becomes easy, and therefore uninteresting. I'm also unemployed, so I have lots of time to study, which is pretty much my favorite hobby. =)

So far I've found Shimon Even's Graph Algorithms, but I'm uncertain whether it's in-depth or not.

Might be off-topic, but I'm looking for a decent text on graph algorithms beyond the BFS/DFS/dijkstra's treatment given in undergraduate studies

Hi guys.

@michael.bartnett Mind you, that was during what they referred to as the "technical interview"

@michael.bartnett They asked the following questions: "What is one situation where you had to learn something very quickly?" "What is one time you've taken a risk that has not paid off?" "What is a situation where you have taken a risk that has paid off?" etc...

@michael.bartnett I wish people asked me questions like that. I wish they asked me questions that were technical, too. I keep getting interviews (second or third round) where I get regurgitated behavioral questions from round 1. It's getting to be more than a little insulting.

hmm

@michael.bartnett is rounding by .03 liberal =P?

@michael.bartnett I was actually just kinda curious (I'm a CS major with an option in game development) and I have an awesome (3.94) in-major GPA and a shitty (2.97) cumulative GPA and was wondering if I can round the 2.97 to a 3.0 when I apply to companies =P was hoping maybe a hiring manager from a game design company was in here

@michael.bartnett sure

*eh?

Game development h?

Who's up for the challenge?

Ok guys serious math question here

Ok guys, it actually was really fun =D ttys

@PeterTamaroff awww ok =(

@user43758 induction

@PeterTamaroff Oh when you said permutation you meant rows...or columns....or sets of rows or columns..that makes a lot more sense

@PeterTamaroff Hey thanks now everything you type looks cool and mathy instead of claustrophobic and over-punctuated

@user43758 @PeterTamaroff Have a good night =D

@PeterTamaroff Hmm, yea, I need to grade papers - as interesting as this is, I don't have the mathematical background, or the plugin that makes the stuff between dollar signs look like something other than PHP variables

are there n dimensions?

well then, there are a lot more identity matrices than purplemath.com/modules/mtrxmult3.htm told me about

So unfortunately I'm afraid I'm not joking

I mean, if it's a permutation of an identity matrix, well I can only think of two of those, and one of them is \ and the other is /

so it's a left handed identity matrix?

I just realized why that is the case.

oh, yea ok

Oh, right

well that can't have a determinant of -1...

yea, i figure matrices don't have negative indices, but do they increment with rows or columns or what?

jw

what are r and s

Yea..the letters gave it away..

is this for algebra?

makes a lot more sense that way

yea

probably means S
