How Come in half-life 1 Gold$rc there are no circles in the game

[align=center]No
matter
how you
look at it, or
what is said, do not
let it get into your head.
Three sides, three corners, too,
triangles have the perfect do! Some
triangles look weirder than the rest, but
they all come from the same exact nest. No
matter how you look at it, or what is said, do not
let it get into your head. They are three cornered and
three sided, that is how all triangles can easily be sighted![/align]

What’s this, geometry for kindergarten

[Madcat1030]

It was that, or a wave. A FUCKIGN WAEV!

Regarding OP, the reason the buttons and shiz looked round(er) was cuz they were done has TECKSTCHERS! A techstcher is when one does have image on it.

But seriously, you should keep an eye out when playing other games. It definitely won’t be as obvious as it is in GldSrc (12 years old, now), but you’ll find that nowhere can you find a perfect circle or any perfect curve. It will always be a varying amount of straight edges.

@Madcat1030: That’s actually a nice poem. Its catchy and has a nice shape too

I also noticed that there is nothing in the shape of f(x)=sin(1/x), especially near zero. Wasn’t Valve able to draw that?

I kept an eye out for tan x, but it appears asymptotes were beyond the limitations of the goldsource engine. By episode three we’ll have inconceivable parallel universes shown. Made up of triangles, of course

The circle wasn’t invented until early 2000, duh

@hercule poirots nutsack

literally execute everyone who is not born with an innate knowledge of how videogames work

I’m going to have to side with hercules on this one. I think he got it at the first explanation.

Maybe we should challenge OP to render an actual circle.

If you’re talking about a true circle, it can be done with a 2D vector.

If you’re talking about a cylinder, then no
