Games programming is a lot more than games theory. Note that there are lots of topics that have a game background (such as sprites, fast scrolling, texture mapping, to name some neverending stories), but tend to become somewhat hardware-specific if taken to extremes. I'm not a graphics freak, but I don't mind if these postings have a place in this newsgroup. Anyway, they don't belong in ibm.pc.hardware, nor do they belong in ibm.pc.games, which is about games, not games programming, and has much more traffic than rec.games.programmer anyway. And yes, the fact that there are more PC-related postings would show that there are more PC-related people interested in this newsgroup, regardless of their intelligence. -- Markus Stumptner mst@vexpert.dbai.tuwien.ac.at University of Technology Vienna vexpert!mst@relay.eu.net Paniglg. 16, A-1040 Vienna, Austria ...mcsun!vexpert!mst
