If Angry Birds took 4 people to make

what the fuck can one person do by themselves? I need friends...

Because shitty C/C++ requires a team of slaves to move stone blocks around.

I need friends...
No. You nead a team of slaves and a slave driver with a fat whip.

Actually, it's inversely proportional.
One person would make a game 4 times better than Angry Birds. The less human you are, the better the game will be.

well its not that hard as it seems
it will require a lot of time and dedication
though, the coding section shouldnt be bigger than 14-16k
the hard part is the art, designing and making levels
given that you are going to copy angry birds the only thing you pretty much need is art so find yourself an artist given that you are a good c/c++/obj c(for the ui) programmer
good luck sanjo

Angry Birds is about the simplest game you can make with Box2D. Lesson: leverage an existing library. Give no credit.

He probably could have made money by gpl'ing it, box2d uses the zlib license.

This. If he GPL'd it, he could have offered a dual commercial license for commercial use, meaning money in the bank.

There is in fact more to life than money in the bank despite what your degenerate Occupy A Jail Cell 'friends' would have you believe.

Exactly what I was thinking. Although, maybe it wouldn't have become so widely used if it wasn't under a permissive license.

Actually, depending on how smart your compiler is, 1 / 4 * AngryBirds is either as fast or faster than AngryBirds / 4 in most scenarios.

Division is a much more computationally expensive than multiplication, so much so that many low-powered ARM cores don't even include a division instruction. Assuming that you're working with floating point values, it's always faster to multiply by the reciprocal of your divisor than to perform naive division.

``But wait!'' you say, ``if the program has to divide 1 by 4 first to get that reciprocal, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the multiplication optimization?'' Indeed, you would be correct, but fortunately, nearly all compilers are smart enough not to do that. The parser sees 1 / 4 and immediately replaces it with .25 before compilation, much in the same way as macro substitution is performed.

However, if your compiler is really smart, it will see AngryBirds / 4 and compile it as .25 * AngryBirds instead, in which case it didn't matter what we wrote. If you were working with integer division, on the other hand, it might interest you to visit the following link, which describes algorithm (with a public domain C implementation) for applying a similar trick to arbitrary integers at run-time, not compile time. Now that's OPTIMIZED.

This brings about a version of Descartes' demon: am I typing messages to living beings on /prog/ or am I just participating in the ramblings of a mad AI balancing ratios of humorous shitposts with interesting content with random attachment of sages and namefag identities to keep me from knowing the truth.

I could write bots which can post semi-intelligent content(for short strings) easily(i wrote one before in 2009 though its just a single-stage markov chain with random offsets(inserted at cutoffs in the chain)), plus i'm certain someone had a dubs search bot which shitposted variations of "dubz" all over the board.
