• Physics engine that can handle multiple attractors?

  - by brice

  I'm putting together a game that will be played mostly with three dimensional gravity. By that I mean multiple planets/stars/moons behaving realistically, and path plotting and path prediction in the gravity field. I have looked at a variety of physics engines, such as Bullet, tokamak or Newton, but none of them seem to be suitable, as I'd essentially have to re-write the gravity engine in their framework. Do you know of a physics engine that is capable of dealing with multiple bodies all attracted to one another? I don't need scenegraph management, or rendering, just core physics. (collision detection would be a bonus, as would rigid body dynamics). My background is in physics, so I would be able to write an engine that uses Verlet integration or RK4 (or even Euler integration, if I had to) but I'd much rather adapt an off the shelf solution. [edit]: There are some great resources for physics simulation of n-body problems online, and on stackoverflow

• Do we set the bar too high by requiring that code tests not suffer from buffer overflow?

  - by brice

  We are currently recruiting for a Junior Developer position working mainly in C on Linux. As part of the process, we require candidates to complete a code test at their leisure in C. So far we have rejected two candidates on the basis that their code, although readable and in one case rather idiomatic, suffered from buffer overflow errors due to unbounded buffer writes. Are buffer overflows acceptable from a graduate developer? Are we setting the bar too high? What is the expected capability of graduate/Junior engineers? [Edit]: We explicitly ask for error-checked, production quality code. We provide a test & build framework for the candidates

• Windows 7 automatically rearranges the start menu

  - by Brice

  I've seen so many messages on how to rearrange the Windows Start Menu and none mentioning the real problem in doing so which has been around since XP at least. I go to ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu and have a day making everything the way I want. For one thing, their Maintenance menu, the Accessories menu and the Administrative Tools menu, I like to put under a Tools folder that I've created. And they seem to move OK. However, within a few hours, I see some of the shortcuts have been moved back or copied back and a new copy of these folders suddenly appears again on my Start Menu at the root. This is maddening and no one seems to even notice in all the tutorials I've read. Anyone know how to change this behavior?

• How to remove maximize button in Mac OS X tool window in Qt

  - by Andy Brice

  I have a floating tool window. It works fine on Windows, but I can't get rid of the maximise button on Mac OS X. I have tried unsetting Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint and setting the window to fixed size. Nothing seems to work. MyWidget::MyWidget( QWidget* parent ) :QWidget( parent, Qt::Tool | Qt::CustomizeWindowHint ) { setupUi( this ); setFixedSize( sizeHint() ); // doesn't remove maximise button setWindowFlags( windowFlags() & ~Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint ); // doesn't remove maximise button } I don't want to use a frameless window. Any ideas? I am using Qt 4.4.

• BASH: How to remove all files except those named in a manifest?

  - by brice

  I have a manifest file which is just a list of newline separated filenames. How can I remove all files that are not named in the manifest from a folder? I've tried to build a find ./ ! -name "filename" command dynamically: command="find ./ ! -name \"MANIFEST\" " for line in `cat MANIFEST`; do command=${command}"! -name \"${line}\" " done command=${command} -exec echo {} \; $command But the files remain. [Note:] I know this uses echo. I want to check what my command does before using it.

• What are the steps to upgrade maven/grails from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1?

  - by Brice

  I have recently started a new project using the maven grails archetype - at the time, (a few weeks ago), Grails 1.2.0 was the most recent release. Now that there's a newer release, what are the steps to upgrade? I would assume that since Grails dependencies are defined in the POM, that the POM will need to be updated? Are there any instructions on doing this? Does the maven-grails-plugin handle this? Is this documented anywhere? Appreciate any pointers. Thanks!
