This code was done really fast, it convert from any 3d coordenates to 2D, for instance, you can use that to do a 2D map which refers a 3D space.Vector2D From3DTo2D( const Vector2D &currPos3D, const Vector2D &initialCoord3D, const Vector2D &http://whataboutcode.blogspot.com/2009/02/from-3d-coordenates-to-2d.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Flavio Rodriguez)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485783530523123019.post-452703997063558882Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:09:00 +00002010-01-09T17:54:15.758-08:00Design Pattern BooksSometimes you get all information you need in one book only, but sometimes, even including all information directly from core, it's possible that book has not been written best way it could do, I'm mean format.if you ask me a good book about Design Patterns I would like to suggest two, first one it's the bible:I'm used to say if you want to learn about C start reading “The C programming language”http://whataboutcode.blogspot.com/2007/09/design-pattern-books.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Flavio Rodriguez)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485783530523123019.post-7625271568339938648Thu, 20 Sep 2007 23:53:00 +00002008-01-02T07:00:12.704-08:00Float random in 15 minutesI was reading Gamasutra website when I saw an interesting job offer, please check out, http://jobs.gamasutra.com/jobseekerx/viewjobrss.asp?cjid=12163&accountno=219I couldn't avoid write that function they are describing in the first part of test.* The function rand_FloatRange(float a, float b) returns a random float number, 'x', such that a <= x <= b.
