Gaming: Generating random world content and some consistency algorithms...

Generating random world content is one of those tasks that gets written off as a trivial matter. It isn't hard to throw some stuff around a virtual space and call it good. However, after trivializing the world content generation during your first game...

Testing: GC Sanity Checks in Whidbey

I have a feeling this method will only be useful when you can run a series of tests without any collections taking place during your tests. Whenever a collection occurs you can never be sure of the amount of time spent in collection (anyone on the CLR...

Binary features seem to be very easy to test with solid mathematical limits

Well, I managed to find a paper, and in that paper I saw that someone had a generator for compressing a testing simulation of 100 features each of which had 2 options, down into only 10 tests. Now that got me intrigued, so I spent nearly my entire night...

Testing: Pair-wise, upper and lower boundings

You'd think there would be more math on this. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? Well, I wanted to try and formalize some boundings for sequences of features that have identical numbers of options. f = number of features n = number of options n^2...

Testing: The pair-wise problem and fertile ground for improvement.

Apparently pair-wise testing is a pretty big thing. Hell, I'm not a tester, but I know I've used some of the same techniques writing my own tests. So I guess it was only a matter of time before I learned there was a name for what in the hell was going...

Card Games: Testing the Poker Coder (a short before I start back into the math)...

Testing the poker coder is actually fairly fun. We know quite a bit about the sample data, and we know exactly how many combinations there are. So let's take a look at some naive approaches. for(int i = 0; i < 52; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < 52; j...
