This is not Radix Sort. It is a non-comparison sorting method that works by dividing integers into their composite powers of two (hence the name) and positioning the number in a binary tree based on the composite po ...Show All

So basically, short of managing SCRIPT files via Source Saf ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectDraw deprecation question

For me, I'm learning it for 2d education and the book series migrates to D3D9 later. But when I ask questions on MS's forums about DirectDraw and having a problem with an issue, I can guarantee that someone will say it's deprecated and that I shouldn't use it. ...Show All
