I'm working on a friends engine project and my task is to construct a new frustum from the light direction that overlaps the view frustum and possible shadow casters. The project already has a function that creates a frustum for this but its way to big and includes way to many casters (shadows) which can't be seen in the view frustum. Now the only…
We have all our international sites on our .com domain like this:
site.com/uk
site.com/us
etc...
When creating the sites in Webmaster Tools I've created different sites and submitted sitemaps for each directory so that we can appropriately geotarget the site.
Is it also recommended to add the root .com with its geotargeting set to…

The background image should cover the viewport. The technique I use now is a loop with an innerloop that draws diamond shaped images on a canvas element, but it looks like a rotated square.
This is a nice example: ,that covers the whole viewport.

=> (let [[x y] point]
=> (println "the coordinates are:" x y))

Let's say I draw a 30x30 squared…
