The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

The default depth based alpha sorting heuristic does not work for 2.5D games. Often sprites that are on a further "layer" end up rendered on top of content that should be in front. This happens with: ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

Combining art, science, engineering, and the psychology of human perception and interaction, computer graphics involves the creation and manipulation of visual content used in applications ranging ...
