Programming and stress

i'm in the middle of making a fairly sophisticated game. Most of the time I've spent on it so far has been just on the planning, how to get the physics and collision detection to work etc. I can only spent so long a day trying to work this out before i start getting stressed and stuff. i start feeling easily agitated and restless and it gets hard to concentrate on the game again. you guys have any tips for tackling programming stress? much obliged 8]

read SICP and achieve satori

Take a walk (at least 2 hours or it does not count as a walk.)
Get drunk, write code around 4-5 am while having a hangover and listening to beethoven.

It always works for me

>>3

Autechre, nigger.  Real Expert Programmers only listen to Autechre.

Also, if you're too fat and unhealthy to take a two hour walk (as I suspect most posters to /prog/ will be), try public transport. It works just as well.

hi, shinji. how's your sdat?

Excercise and proper sleep have always helped me a lot. Unfortunately I haven't got enough of the latter lately, myself. Also, reading SICP helps.

>>6

WTF?

>>8
That was the new low.

>>8
Leave.

Yes, plenty of sleep and good exercise.

Also, make sure to only work in small pieces. It's far, far too easy to be overwhelmed if you stare at the bigger picture. Come up with a decent preliminary design so you know roughly where you're going, but don't obsess over the details, because guaranteed you'll get them wrong anyway.

stop trying to write code thats 50x harder than you are smart
use a fucking lib someone else wrote

>>9
>>10

Fuck your stupid weeaboo shit

>>12
shut up suave cpan perl module

>>3,4

>>12

That "someone else" who wrote a lib should've also used someone else's lib.  And that someone else should have never written a lib.

SO STOP PROGRAMMING.  OUTLAW THE ENTIRE COMPUTER INDUSTRY AND JAIL ANYONE WHO PROGRAMS OR HAS EVER PROGRAMMED.

sex

>>17
masturbating

FIXED

>>17
no thanks, i just had some.

Masturbation is the best way to relieve stress. Especially if you masturbate to your little sister.

>>20

You stupid shit, I don't have a little sister. Fuck you.

>>21
1. YHBT
2. Incest is hot
3. I'd gladly have sexual intercouse with my sister if I had a sister.

>>22

You're not worth the sauce in my balls

>>23
All I care for is that I'm worth my sister's sweet, delicious pussy.

omg incest >_<

Just an idea but,
What if you tried to read some source code, such as the doom engine to get an idea about collision.

Just an idea but,

Whenever any objects tries to move in your game, check whether the boundary planes intersect.

When I can't solve a problem in roughly 20 minutes, I go downstairs and eat, maybe go for a walk or exercise, so I don't get frustrated. It's actually very beneficial because it makes your mind clearer.

>>4
lol. autechre, aphex, boc, venetian snares, wisp, etc.

>>25
Incest is awesome. Having your sister say "onii-chan!" innocently as you grope her, making sweet love to her... Nothing beats that.

I get hard-ons just thinking about it.

>>29

wisp is a nigger who looks like the CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW guy

>>28

I do the same. Leave the room, get a snack, do something else.

What I also do is maintain a huge todo list. If it gets tough, I throw it onto the todo list and move on.

Then when I'm done, I run through and fix all the old problems, and it's always easier since I've probably mulled over it for a week or so.

i often start masturbating when I feel stressed but the bad thing is if I get stressed early in the day and start masturbating I pretty much dont stop all day..

This thread better be closed now.

You know, I haven't yet stalked my sister, but every now and then I steal her panties from the clothes basket before they're washed, and keep them for a couple of days. I masturbate to the aroma of my sister's pussy, it's heavenly. Oh and her panties. So cute. So white, yet they have a subtle darker spot.

When I feel anxiety it's usually a good thing because there's some job that needs to get done right away and my subconscious is kicking me in the ass to go do it.

In OP's case, I think his subconscious is telling him he's spent too long on one thing and he needs to finish and attend to other things.

Or at least think about all the other things and make sure that all of them can wait.

I'll buy that shiat

Incest is the best! Put your sister to the test!

Also ODE may well help with the physics: http://www.ode.org/

"rigid body dynamics"

Does it means it can simulate my penis?

I can simulate your penis: :-
