Many software engineers are or have worked on ageing codebases. The nature of this universe and our species thrives on failure which fuels the engines of our evolution.Â

From my earliest days of graphics programming I’ve often overlooked the powers of the dot product. Often presented as a way to find the angle between two vectors, I believe the latter is an understatement as it can be used for so much more. A primitive to more complex calculations and models.

With the advent of machine learning and visual recognition it goes without saying that passing graphical information in memory is a more common scenario. This code snippet hopes to help the many queries that try to accomplish it in the Windows ecosystem. Especially going from Win32 to WinRT/UWP world.

I’ve been doing some research recently in Machine Learning. Resurrecting my previous “VertoPellis” project and cleaning up the source data we fed the system. Upon building the voice, we fed it speeches which had echos and high ambient noises.

I’ve spent the better part of the day trying various solutions to best implement the gyroscope control scheme in RunawayJRider…
I’ve had a few experiences with various gyroscopes throughout the years but steering….. hmmmm that’s a tricky one. At least not from the onset… actually let me rephrase… my first instinct was the eventual solution. Getting the forces applied on the device and using them to increment/decrement an angle value… but that seemed too easy.

We finally enabled multiple control schemes!
Of the three most requested control schemes by our players are:
