Global Constants vs. Enumeration
In terms of coding practice, in what contexts are global constants preferred to enumeration and vice versa? For example, let's say I needed a way to express a variety of tile sprites at a global scope. I could do... const int TILE_RED = 0; const int TILE_GREEN = 1; const int TILE_BLUE = 2; const int TILE_CENTER = 3; const int TILE...

Getting the point of a catmull rom spline after a certain distance?
If I have a Catmull-Rom spline of a certain length how can I calculate its position at a certain distance? Typically to calculate the point in a catmull rom spline you input a value between 0 and 1 to get its position via proportions, how can I do this for distances? For example if my spline is 30 units long how can I get its position at...

typedef vs public inheritance in c++ meta-programming
Hi, Disclaimer: the question is completely different from Inheritance instead of typedef and I could not find any similar question so far I like to play with c++ template meta-programming (at home mostly, I sometimes introduce it lightly at work but I don't want to the program to become only readable to anyone who did not bother learni...
Xcode Documentation Set for C++ Standard Library
I've recently began using C++ with XCode and I'm starting to miss the integrated documentation that is available for Objective-C.
