As an aspiring programmer, especially with a desire to pursue games development, ever since Christmas 2007 (and also every Easter and maybe the odd random time!), I’ve read Masters of Doom by David Kushner (Buy on Amazon [...]
This is “Freudian Dream” by U4ia and like a recent MOD Monday, this song also features in the game LineWars II by Patrick Aalto.

When filling my RWStructuredBuffer with something easy to debug such as:
float4(1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4);
What actually occurred, when checking on both the CPU and GPU [...]
I’ve just started dabbling with DirectX 10 and learnt enough to convert the basic Microsoft triangle demo over to DirectX 11, which is my primary goal given the nifty compute shaders.
