I'm not familiar with that framework. What does it do?

Welcome!

That's the crux. I don't feel like just throwing it out there just because. On the other hand, I'm not super exited by anything out there. I'm going to refactor Angela in any case, to clean up its architecture and I can clean up the standard schemas in a bit by adding reference directions and proper...

I did not set out to write a DB. I set out to write an application framework for running MMOs that used "highly modular and reusable content". I'd essentially arrived at building a graph database to solve this problem and only realized what I had - a graph database within my game engine - ...

So my flirtation with refactoring Angela to use Neo4j is at an end. Its not that graphs don’t look like my silver bullet for the kind of gameplay that I want in magicus occultus.

You will find that the entire knowledgebase of software engineering is actually half or less true coding. Learning the syntax of a language and learning how to make it do what you want is only the beginning of software engineering, not the end. I guarantee that what you are learning will not be use...

Is it that they did not know the detailed syntax for opening it in language X, or that they were using it in a sloppy way? I always have trouble with For loops. The general template is always <iterator declaration> <test> <iterator iteration statement>, BUT... I always forget the detailed syntax for...

I've always hated the grind in MMORPGs. I mean, I really, really REALLY hate it. Thereore, I always found leveling services and "chinese cold farmers" amusing. People would get up in arms about it, but I always regarded it as a symptom of the prevalence of poor game design. I mean, people ...
