I'm not talking about the time it takes, but the mass of the fuel. Which is more than just doubled. That is what equations tell you: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativit…

And the last paragraph is the main problem. The ship would get torn apart from lone atoms and to actually stop yourself you need an exponential amount of fuel, because you need to …

Copy paste is disabled remember... As for the rest, that is up to the developer with more resources than his opponents.

A full chapter is dedicated to dynamic type checking. If that isn't acceptable for your project, don't use it. Successful languages that don't have compile time checks, show that t…

You can always make the game itself harder on top of all the anti-bot tricks. The game has to be only hard and expensive enough to hack so that the effort isn't worth the result. O…

But it almost impossible to write a polynomial in under 60 seconds without any tools, that follows the desired path.

That is a very limited system without real polymorphism.

It has a very high learning curve. And while it has great ideas, the usage of variadic functions is not warranted in my opinion. I recommend you first try a simple OO project yours…

After a year of acceleration at 1g, a stationary observer would observe a speed of 215184620 m/s or 71.7% the speed of light. After two years: 89.9% After four years: 97.2% After e…
