chair shadows must be direct to to desk, cause if top lamp is at the center of the room, and chair at top of the room, shadows goes from center to room border (hoping i explain in right words)

toooooo dark, but also good  ;D

this screenshots are from the AGS engine? i mean are they prerendered 3d backgrounds used as 2d bg ingame and that are in-game screenshots, or just 3d stuff you are working on but not in-game screenshots?

sherlock holmes lived in england and he investigates in crimes, helping the police officers (right it's a romance but..)

and dylan dog (an italian comic book) lives in england, right it's a private investigator (about nightmares) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_Dog)

i think that if a friend of your protagonist is a police officer, you have no problems  ::)

i have problem with reading comprehension?

\Windows\temp is part of the file system.

it's an heresy

Quote
Swap partitions ... (and aren't used by windows, and are obsolete in linux). Swap partitions are, by definition, solely for swap area.

i demostrate you windows uses swap partition, and btw linux strongley use it (the obsolete think is old custom that swap area must to be double sized ram)

Quote
Swapping is managed by the OS.

everything is managed by OS, but swap area cannot be processed, it must repass trought ram


anyway we are to much offtopic, so if you want to continue pm me.

ok i say: you're completly in error in all your points

file system is the part of an OS that manages things like coping files, create directory and so on

temp folder is a directory and nothing more

swap area are strongley used by unix/linux and win uses them to

memory swapped in swap area cannot be processed cause it is inactive

so i'm boring to repeat same things, go study and not tell things invented at all

a good start could by there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory (Note that "virtual memory" is not just "using disk space to extend physical memory size".)

then read some OS book, read linux man and so on


last thing, i also write a program that simulate different type of memory allocation and swap area system and i study swap area in deep

sorry but you'r in error
\windows\temp\ is not file system is a simple temporany files directory nothing more

anyway i say you can use swap PARTITIONS (if you create it) also for temporaney files and swap area

you're right about virtual memory, but pieces of code swapped from ram to swap area CANNOT BE MANAGED by the OS, they are in swap area stored waiting to return to the RAM to be managed from OS (so processed and so on)

i'm excuse with you cause i don't read previews messages but only last one about swap area, so i'll read all others messages to understand what you'r talking about :P

[EDIT]
i read previous messages, and no, i'm in the advice you can't run programs that need more then your ram (at least double size)

if you can i'm really interesting in it.. i'm serius

swap area is usefull only for the OS, or for temporany files (like extracting a rar file), but in no way it can be used as RAM
Pop quiz, dude. If theory does not match up with actual practice, which of the two is correct?

hoping I understand your question

the OS uses the swap area to temporany swap part of memory to the hd when ram is full, but it cannot manages it when it is in the swap area, so OS need to "wait" that a part of memory is free to reswap from swap area to ram and process it

swap area partition may be used ALSO as stock for temporany files, in example the windows OS uses a part of the main partition (where win is installed) to stores temporaney files, but you can change this "rule" for some programs like winrar forcing it to use the swap area partion as temporany file stock

or maybe i didn't understand your question and need to study more about english language :P
