It should state clearer that it uses CUDA. Even though that is of course the popular choice, I'd love to see an OpenCL course.

But even if it doesn't work cross-platform (dunno, you wanna use WinForms/QT/whatever's native) it makes porting *really easy*. It's kinda like how XNA lets you make games for Windows, XBox and WP7. Sure, not all the capabilities are there for all platforms, but they're close enough you can build a single core and abst...

His association with Gosper goes a *long* way towards explaining the topic selection I see on his blog. Continued fractions, the old "munching squares" demo, attractor basin fractals, IFS, L-systems and plane-filling curves, Life and other cellular automata — all are things that Gosper has been involved in :)

How many times have we gone through this? **Read the other fucking comments.** It's C++ with Component Extensions. C++/CLI-style syntax, compiles down to native C++.

Don't just silently ignore it at least.

I would just like to point out that there's a massive difference between a language being universally reviled and a language being technically inappropriate for the purpose at hand. Java is more the former than the latter (though not entirely either one).

Triangles are triangles, but even using the same shader, they are not all equal.

Keep in mind, when you say "going outside" today, you mean "going outside with your mom no more than 5 feet from you at all times". And when you say "playing sports" you mean "playing sports organized by a properly background-checked adult". Kids aren't permitted to just go out and throw together a neighborhood game....

What if my lyrics are actually better? A long time ago, I hung out on the Freenet project a lot, and there was an effort to try to get its Java code to work on gcj. The result of this effort was to find a lot of bugs in gcj. (Not that this story applies to mature compilers, of course.)

Yes, he used an existing algorithm. But, he was wise (or lucky) enough to actually bother to take a brute-force approach.
