A little while ago I put together a quick performance test comparing the BCL’s BinaryFormatter with that of Marc Gravell’s protobuf-net library (.Net implementation of Google’s protocol buffer format). You can read more about my results here. There’s anot[...]

In this post I will introduce the concept of textures (and apply it to our plane-primitive) and explain why I choose to add a fog effect. This is the texture we are going to tile to our “floor”: What is … Weiterlesen →

An F# Meetup Group in Seattle has now been launched by Tao Liu on the F# team. (It's only just been created, so get in early!) If you're in the Seattle or King County area and are interested in F#, then please join, and help get the group off to a great s[...]

  Microsoft Research are seeking candidates for a 6-month contract position in F# programming to help improve the capabilities of F# in the area of cross-platform and web-delivered data-rich programming. The candidate should have several of the following:[...]

Today we start adding another primitive to the scene – a plane. This is what we are looking for: and here is the code that will finally render this: But before going into the implementation of the Plane.Create method let’s … Weiterlesen →
