This must be why game designers keep remaking their game engines...(and keep reusing half the code from existing engines anyway) Yeah, I’ve just been reading up on optimization myself…the worst part is, it’s difficult to do when your code is already completed.

It's painful sometimes to see the new users posting highly basic questions that you know you can't possibly help them understand. Fortunately they are easy to spot from the mispellings and I think the best response is to point out the getting started samples and picking up a c# for beginners book. To a young user I think a short and succinet response will be just as devastating to their fragile minds as your bastardly answer, but at least they'll get some useful information in the exchange. The important thing is we don't encourage the younglings by giving them code they won't know hwo to use. Also, especially important is that we don't spam their topics with replies. The faster their topics are knocked off the board the better for other members. This has been on my mind a lot lately.
