I live in Paris, France.

I work on PlayStation, Xbox and computer games for a living. I write free software and all kind of crazy shit for fun. My interests: image processing, video coding, game development, maths, physics, compression, cryptography.

Apr 21	comment	Getting the sequence $1, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0, -1, 0, \ldots$ without trig? @bodacydo - your solution is not a solution; it never outputs `-1`.

Apr 15	comment	Getting the sequence $1, 0, -1, 0, 1, 0, -1, 0, \ldots$ without trig? Probably not the fastest, because there is `(((x+3)>>1)&1) - ((x>>1)&1)`.

Dec 15	comment	Fast 2D Line Triangle Intersection test Sorry, please disregard; they're projection directions, all right.
Dec 15	comment	Fast 2D Line Triangle Intersection test For the fourth direction, don't you mean the vector normal to the line segment instead?

Nov 4	comment	Sequence of numbers with infinite number of primes An interesting claim to investigate would be that there exists a number $n$ such that there is an infinite number of primes on the $n$th position.
