It's in there and I drink it every day. That's how I get more
productive. ;-)

At work now with have aprox. 4 graphist for 1 developer ! But the more complicated for the

graphist/modelers is to understand the "weird" developer graphics constraint ;o) Usually
they
used too much stufff... ;o) especially very big texture the little logo decal on the car
;o)))))

Lol, I know the thing. You ask for a little button that can light up
and you get a 723x853 file with the buttons just randomly placed
somewhere in the picture and 95% empty pixels. :)

Yes, for performance you mustn't take over too much code from others.
:) I know the matrix and vector classes where every a+b turns into 1
big slow stack fest.
Still, C++ has much merits and I would recommend it even, just don't
use templates too much, never use multiple inheritance (if you ever
made a compiler, you'd know what pain this gives you when mixing 2
class hierarchies), and avoid most operator overloading. And oh yeah,
never malloc() in time-critical code.

And then, it's nice to be able to code like you do in C, only in
reverse:
CarMove(car,x,y) -> car->Move(x,y)

Ah ok, I see, I'll have to see if my ODEs (have never done a survey of
which there are in Racer) map out so nicely to needing just pos & vel
(if I don't need to restore other variables as well).

I see. Something to see if it will fit here.

...

Glad to see you got it working.

Let me know if you see anything in it. :)
