Apple - What is wrong with you?


Seriously! what the heck is wrong with Apple? Its fighting over a rectangle and rounded rectangle? Why is it battling out on the shape of a product? I mean rectangle - isn't this universal to everyone? What is wrong with someone imitating it? It’s not that they developed a technology that would make the phone invisible.

Anyways I feel it’s a bigger gamble than the size or shape of the product. It’s all to do with money and sales. For every one apple product there are three android products sold. This means there is more non-apple phones and operating systems out there. Honestly Google and other companies are benefitting a lot more than Apple. Apple has the pressure and it looks like if they don't do something it would be the doom very soon.

Recently Apple won it's battle over Samsung, and what is even surprising is Apple is Samsung's biggest customer. It really commendable that these technology giants are able to keep relationships together and yet battle it out in court over petty patents. For a company to survive, it needs to protect its investors, shareholders and resources. To do all of this it needs money and hence Samsung can't afford to lose Apple unless Apple decides to go elsewhere to find an alternative.

Authoritative Server - MMO

Latency, Authoritative Server, Lag Compensation, Course Correction, Packet Drops and Client Side Prediction. These are things you would worry about when attempting to build a MMO game. For companies where the delay matters these logics are a must. This post is on setting up an Authoritative Server. There are different ways of setting up the authoritative server. Some of them is mentioned here. You have N clients and one client acts as the authoritative server: Imagine N clients with different machine configurations. The server would need to decide the best possible machine and have the physics simulation run in that. We then have issues with client disconnecting in which case we need to swap the authoritative client to another machine. This means we have to maintain all the state the game was in and move it to the new authoritative client. In an online environment this is simple nothing but nonsense. There is a dedicated server which simulates everything including physics and ...

Code dependencies

Are you struggling to make a given set of scripts from a project compile error free? If that is true, then you are in the same boat as I am right now. I have come across projects where logic is scattered around to get a functionality out of the pipeline with limited value to object oriented programming, and the most valuable and time saving of all is the plugin architecture. This is as best as it can get. Let me explain.. A producer has an idea and wants to make a quick prototype. He opens a new project, drags and drops the packages he needs and boom the game runs. Obviously you don't expect a producer to code (unless he is from development). The game would not be perfect, but at least it would get the ball rolling and you don't need a developer to assist the producer. Now, to do this, you would want the packages to follow a common rule. You can do this using an interface and have classes implement them. For example, the avatar package and the pet package can implement the...
