    Here is the way I do things. I don't mean to lecture or something like that. Just my view of this, Good or Bad wink.png

     

    when argument is a simple data type that won't be changed by called function - use int arg, float arg etc...

     

    when argument is a complex data type that won't be changed by called function - use const TVec3& arg, const std::string& arg etc

     

    when argument is a simple data type that will be changed by called function - use int& arg, float& arg

     

    when argument is a complex data type that will be changed by called function - use TVec3& arg, std::string& arg

     

    Depending of situation and implementation you can use pointers (*) instead of references (&)

     

    If a function does not change any internal state (variable) of the class is should be declared const, like void myClass::isEverytingOK( ) const;

     

    I strongly recommend to avoid to much typedef's. Use them with care like in

    typedef std::map<std::string,myObect*> ObjectMap;

     

    I strongly recommend to avoid macros and defines. Most time const static's, enums or inline functions can be used instead. This make things typed. And no "typedef int Speed;" or any such silly things. An int is an int :)

     

    Furthermore in my experience (I'm no speed guru by anyway) the devil lies in nested inner loops and loading/saving. But in the projects I have done (99% non game related) the biggest time thief has ALWAYS been the program design.

     

    Those are my humble thoughts that I live by. Surely not the truth or even the best thing but so far i found it best for me. Maybe for you also. If not, just ignore this post biggrin.png

    Yes, She has some trouble with her hair... We will release her from that by adding a couple of randomized variations. Starting to get hang of iClone -> Leadwerks now smile.png. Weapons... Yeah that's a problem. Generally I don't like weapons, not i real life and not in games. Our weapons will not be that standard Gun or Rifle things that cause blood.. That's a NO. There will be no blood in this game. Weapons can be no deadly things and will not be something that will be used through out the game. This IS NOT a shooter game. Its a explorer/puzzle game.
