  • Retro video games programming

    - by SebKom
    I just watched the Super Mario Bros. -1 World glitch in youtube and I really began wondering about the code behind those games. Which language was used? What about the OS for the video games consoles? Are there any website with resources about this subject? (I am a 90s video gamer so I am particularly interested about the programming behind those games but feel free to make this a wiki and include links to resources about video games programming in general, if you want)

  • Which set(s) of video lectures for computer science?

    - by SebKom
    As most of you know a couple of top universities (MIT, Stanford, etc) around the world are now publishing videos of their lectures online. I am advancing to the third and final year of my computer science degree this September and I was thinking about spending some time during the summer to watch a couple of lectures, in order to improve my understanding of algorithms, complexity, programming, software engineering, etc. Now I don't have infinite time to spend so I can't watch all of the lectures from all of the universities so I was wondering if you could suggest me which sets to watch from each one (something like "Algorithms from MIT", "Programming from Yale", etc).

  • Is this a bad version of the Merge Sort algorithm?

    - by SebKom
    merge1(int low, int high, int S[], U[]) { int k = (high - low + 1)/2 for q (from low to high) U[q] = S[q] int j = low int p = low int i = low + k while (j <= low + k - 1) and (i <= high) do { if ( U[j] <= U[i] ) { S[p] := U[j] j := j+1 } else { S[p] := U[i] i := i+1 } p := p+1 } if (j <= low + k - 1) { for q from p to high do { S[q] := U[j] j := j+1 } } } merge_sort1(int low, int high, int S[], U[]) { if low < high { int k := (high - low + 1)/2 merge_sort1(low, low+k-1, S, U) merge_sort1(low+k, high, S, U) merge1(low, high, S, U) } } I am really sorry for the terrible formating, as you can tell I am not a regular visitor here. So, basically, this is on my lecture notes. I find it quite confusing in general but I understand the biggest part of it. What I don't understand is the need of the "if (j <= low + k - 1)" part. It looks like it checks if there are any elements "left" in the left part. Is that even possible when mergesorting?
