Поменялись названия API и язык кодогенерации, но архитектура и основные идеи остались те же: дерево контролов, свойства с рефлексией, связи между свойствами, шаблоны, абстракция над движком и вечная война за пиксель-в-пиксель.Пользовательский интерфейс в играх это место, где...

When an aircraft or car body moves at high speed, a thin layer of air called the "boundary layer" is formed on its surface. This boundary layer has two... Read more
