I do not like multithreading  I love multi-threading.  no, its not a programming problem but an implementation difficulty. its one of those things that really absolutely has to be designed on paper first
Ah, programming... yes, sometimes you have to design first. When I get into that position, I'll refactor a lot first. I'll perfect anything the issue touches. Then wrestling with it on paper becomes simpler. Sometimes doing a lot of obvious things around a problem makes the bigger picture more clear. |

Ah, programming... yes, sometimes you have to design first. You always have to design first. If you aren't designing first, you're basically wandering through a hedge maze while blind and just hoping you'll make it out the other side eventually. |

Sometimes it's just a little hedge maze where nobody minds if you take a few hacks  |

The analogy wasn't that good, more like one for brute force stuff.

that's how life happened You always have to design first. If you aren't designing first, you're basically wandering through a hedge maze while blind and just hoping you'll make it out the other side eventually.

The best food is always slow-cooked.
Are we all done with bad analogies yet? You can't so easily say that a separate 'design' stage is essential. Of course you have to design first, otherwise you would just be typing characters into a keyboard. Personally I do a mix of paper, conceptual, and code-based designing. And if I could design everything on paper first then I probably wouldn't enjoy programming half as much.

what we are talking about is the difference between "i got a complete plan for this in my head" and "i have to write this down because it is the most complicated shit ever"

I'm mad about SDL having seemingly random performance between machines. Software rendered voxel engine working at 30fps on my weak laptop (64MB graphics card, ~2Ghz dual core cpu, 1.5GB RAM) and 13fps on my dev box (512MB graphics card, ~3Ghz tri-core cpu, 3GB RAM).  Maybe I should just write an alternative GL renderer that does the same thing for machines that have access to it... |

Wild guess - your laptop has an integrated graphics card, which uses shared RAM (not it's own, on the card). Maybe blitting to shared RAM is faster? Liosan |

I have to say that this happenned to me too. About 400fps on my Athlon 64 X2 @ 2.9GHz + 2x2GB RAM + NV9600GT and about 800fps on my laptop with shitty Pentium Dual-core @ 2GHz + 3GB RAM + Intel HD...
