Laughable code comment of the day

[Lord Apocalypse]

We've got a nice thread like this over on the VS forums and I've found a few in the WZ retail source.. Will have to check the current master code to see if any are in there hiding.... but, do enjoy and get a kick out of what developers leave lying about in the games code from time to time. I'm sure with enough digging there are gems in a great many open source games or open sourced commercial games

// ffs - jeremy if you touch psx only code again, I will break your legs

followed by...

// Jeremy ... the usual leg breaking rule aplies if you remove this again

and then there's...

// If it's already loaded then we shouldn't really re-load it ... but what the frack it's saturday

sub frack for famous f word for actual quote.

And a few from Vega Strike that some may find amusing

//In short I have NO CLUE how this works! It just...grudgingly does

//You died or something... too bad.

Another snippet

//#ifdef PSX
// // Something in this function may be causeing a crash....
//#warning HMMMMMMM.... THIS FUNCTION APPEARS TO CAUSE A CRASH.... MUST FIX....
// return;
//#endif

// assert(2+2==5);

edit for language if need be.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root:

Code: Select all

float Q_rsqrt( float number )
{
        long i;
        float x2, y;
        const float threehalfs = 1.5F;
 
        x2 = number * 0.5F;
        y  = number;
        i  = * ( long * ) &y;                       // evil floating point bit level hacking
        i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // what the f**k?
        y  = * ( float * ) &i;
        y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 1st iteration
//      y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 2nd iteration, this can be removed
 
        return y;
}

"W.T.F." is exactly why they call it a "magic number".
