Torque 3D Development - New Release and Pricing Announced
by Brett Seyler · 04/11/2007 (4:15 pm) · 20 comments
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you're ready for a wonderful 2010. Before we get there, I have a piece of personal news to share with the community.
In January, I'll be leaving InstantAction for a new opportunity. Taking my place will be Eric Preisz. He's a great fit for the role, and someone whom I hope you all will have as much confidence and trust in as you've shown in me. It's been a wonderful three years (almost to the day), and I expect big things to continue apace for Torque and the community here. We've accomplished a lot, and Torque, like the community, has matured and grown in a way I'm really proud of.
I'm leaving behind a strong, capable team. Matt Fairfax and Matt Langley continue to guide the product in a smart direction, with the goal of providing the most value possible to people who want to make and commercialize high-end interactive content. The contractors we work with (Sickhead, GameClay, Violent Tulip, Melv, Rene, Luma, etc.) are also driving the product forward at a breakneck pace. Again, great things to come.
Best of luck to all of you. If any of you would like to connect with me in the future, add me on LinkedIn or try shooting me an email at my personal account: brett.seyler at gmail.
Warm regards,
Brett

The only thing I'm lacking in the Engineering requirements is a shipped title, which will be rectified this summer. I don't suppose internship is allowed remotely? =^)
Good luck with the hirings, guys.

Damn I wish I wasn't strapped down here in Orlando =(. The only thing I'm lacking in the Engineering requirements is a shipped title, which will be rectified this summer. I don't suppose internship is allowed remotely? =^)
Good luck with the hirings, guys.

I should never read the blogs here as a break from my problem sets. Clearly, being able to modify radix sort so that it still takes linear time with insane inputs isn't a qualification ;)
The warehouse isn't going to be somewhat empty for very long at this rate. Good luck with hiring :)

Will you still be hiring in about 3 years?

Will you consider remote positions (I'm in NC, US)? I really cannot relocate :)

My alternative title for radix sort is "magic" sort. Take some things, put them in buckets, take them out of the buckets, put them back in the buckets, take them out of the buckets, put them in the buckets, take them out of the buckets, voila, they're sorted!

I know I'm a diamond in the rough, but I also understand you can't see me unless I show you, so here's looking forward to next year......Most certainly!

Nice... good to see you hiring some programmers. Especially experienced ones, should open up the field a bit more to some more tech.

I'm thinking about interning again. That shit was FUN. ;P

Most of the people who work at GG has come through the community. Idealy we would hire engineers who are experienced with torque and are from the community. So even if you don't meet all the requirements send in your resume if you think you kick ass.

I assure you it is not. Radix sort uses buckets by putting things in and taking them out. Bucket sort uses buckets by putting things in buckets, then sorting the contents of the buckets.
Radix Sort:
Each key is first figuratively dropped into one level of buckets corresponding to the value of the rightmost digit of each key. Each bucket preserves the original order of the keys as the keys are dropped into each bucket. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the number of buckets and the number of values that can be represented by a digit. Then, the process repeats with the next neighboring digit until there are no more digits to process.
Radix sort is my most favoritest sort ever.

Yeah, I know. We call them bins instead of buckets so that we don't get confused. It was supposed to be a joke - the wink was ambiguous there though ;)

Wait, you use bins for bucket sort to keep from confusing it with radix sort?:p

Like Zac said, if you're a badass, send in your resume anyway. You certainly must meet nearly all the qualifications, but missing one or two or iffy somewhere?...go ahead. Send'em in. This is especially true if you're a wizard with Torque.

If my teacher only told me that you're will use math in something like.... ummm.... Game Programming!!!... I would've paid more attention. But Nooooo...
