And there’s a big fucking crate, because what wouldn’t a “Hello World” raytraced image be without a big fucking crate. Before [...]

I believe the issue I’m facing here is a [...]

So, finally, here’s the code I wrote for my Boid simulator in C# using the XNA framework. Keep in mind: not everything is optimized, documented, and so on and so forth. The code is probably ugly in general, and I’m not using the best C# coding practices. I understand how to code 80% of C# [...]
