    I think things mostly come down to user configuration differences, and pan laws.

Question: It seems writing a mp3 decoder was the hard part, which had been done. Why do you think no one bothered with a decent GUI?
Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on August 30 2011, 3:26pm
Reply on August 30 2011, 6:42pm (edited at August 30 2011, 6:43pm):
    I would go out on a limb and propose that there aren't that many people who really get, and enjoy, writing a certain class of applications.

Question: in plush, to render 20 spheres at different positions, do you need 20 pl_Objs or can you redraw the same one and translate x20?
Asked by olilarkin (144.32.204.x) on August 26 2011, 11:35am
Reply on August 26 2011, 12:31pm (edited at August 26 2011, 12:40pm):
    20 pl_Objs, or multiple calls to Begin()/End(), which can work but would require z-buffering to look right. The current reason for this is that some intermediate state is stored in the object's pl_Face and pl_Vertex objects... It would be easy enough to change that, though...

Question: How has your mental stamina changed since you were 18? Can you code/concentrate as long as you could when you were younger?
Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on August 23 2011, 1:33pm
Reply on August 24 2011, 6:59pm:
    I probably can, though I've found a better balance with the rest of life. The quality of what I produce is unquestionably higher now than it was then.
