Hi Egon,
Your picture (the man with the cigar), is that really you?

Feedback / Fail-fast everywhere?
« on: March 23, 2009, 05:10:51 am »
Hi!
Perhaps I'm being a bit pedantic, but:
I'd suggest that Matrix.setDump throw a RuntimeException if the passed float[] is not 16 elements,
instead of silently doing nothing?
(I lost a few minutes debugging my code.)
Fail-fast is the way to go, I believe.
Actually, I'd appreciate it if all functions threw RuntimeExceptions as quickly as possible,
when invoked with illegal input.
(Possibly this is even more important with closed source products,
since you cannot always tell from studying source code
how they functions internally and how they react to invalid input.)
Kind regards,
Magnus

Feedback / A call for cuboids (a.k.a. rectangles)
« on: March 22, 2009, 10:21:41 pm »
Hi!
I use JBullet to simulate walking ragdolls. Their body parts are cuboids.
I wish jPCT provided "native" cuboid support.
(Axis aligned cuboids I'd suggest :-))
(To some people: Some people refer to cuboids as rectangles.
Rectangles are however 2 dimensional and cuboids 3 dimensional.)
Kind regards,
Magnus
