CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

Why do compilers even bother with exploiting undefinedness signed overflow? And what are those
mysterious cases where it helps?

A lot of people (myself included) are against transforms that aggressively exploit undefined behavior, but
I think it's useful to know what compiler writers are accomplishing by this.

TL;DR: C doesn't work very well if int!=register width, but (for backwards compat) int is 32-bit on all
major 64-bit targets, and this causes quite hairy problems for code generation and optimization in some
fairly common cases. The signed overflow UB exploitation is an attempt to work around this.

Update: https://www.cyanhall.com/posts/notes/7.homebrew-cheatsheet/#java

on El Capitan, after installing the brew...

$ brew update
$ brew tap caskroom/cask
$ brew install Caskroom/cask/java

And Java 8 will be installed at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.xxx.jdk/

Enable SSL in Apache (OSX)

The following will guide you through the process of enabling SSL on a Apache webserver

• The instructions have been verified with OSX El Capitan (10.11.2) running Apache 2.4.16
• The instructions assume you already have a basic Apache configuration enabled on OSX, if this is not the case feel free to consult Gist: "Enable Apache HTTP server (OSX)"

Apache SSL Configuration

Create a directory within /etc/apache2/ using Terminal.app: sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/ssl
Next, generate two host keys:

# Encrypt the repository
# Remove/modify this line if the repository is meant to be open-source
*.* filter=git-crypt diff=git-crypt
.gitattributes !filter !diff

# These files are text and should be normalized (Convert crlf => lf)
*.php text
*.css text
*.js text
*.htm text
