Help! I think I broke math!
:o

So, I'm programming my game engine, as I often do when I have spare time, and I add some point and vector modification routines and all of a sudden, things don't add up. And it's not just that they give the wrong answers, they don't add. Like...addition no longer operates. It hurts. I broke math. That fact that all of this makes sense to me means I need to go to sleep! x(

3. LOL...thanks for that...I think? Maybe?
I am actually a very improper nerd, given that I violate nearly every stereotype in that thing...except the eyeballs to the screen one...:thumbsup:

10. Haha, I am actually, but not in the typical computer nerd way.

I'm far too lazy to learn how to program (though I'd like to, closest I've gotten is XHTML/CSS, which isn't that close at all, haha) and I rarely play games. I know my way around a computer though (I built this one myself), but I spend most of my computer time downloading shit, reading, and occasionally working on art.

11. Sounds a bit like me.

I'm a computer game developer, yet I have something of a contempt for hardcore "gamers" (you know, the type who pretend to be their game personas IRL), and I develop far more games than I actually play. I'm weird. (But, we already knew that).

13. I used to have an interest in game development back in the day...

But as I've stated, I'm far too lazy.

And to further increase the irony level, I'm off to play some Silent Hill.

15. Start declaring your integers
Floating point is busted as it relies upon logarithms.
