• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream I think the 20% performance decrease is an extreme. I think you'll be looking at under 10% in the vast majority of cases, probably just a couple of % points. I think most developers wouldn't even worry about it unless they're working on next-gen stuff. ...Show All

• Visual Basic filling a bitvector32 in a loop

  Dear all, I can fill a bitvector32 like this: Dim InBytes As Int32 dim i for i = 1 to 1000000 InBytes = i 'for example Dim InBitVector As New System.Collections.Specialized.BitVector32(InBytes) next i and then I can read out the individual bits (need this for a graphics conversion). Problem: this gets VERY slow, and I trailed that to the Dim InBitVector statement. Is there ANY way to assign an Int32 number to the InBitVector WITHOUT using the dim statement Thanks, Kees Hi Renee (not a guy, I guess, from the double 'e' ), I am unclear how the bitconvertor.ToInt16 is going to help. I was aware of the bitconvertor and I knew a bit abo ...Show All
