Earlier today I noticed a thread on Game Dev asking about code to find the nearest power of 2 from any given number. This can be cery useful in building art processing tools for an HGE game engine. I had acutally worked this out in Delphi a few months ago since none of the art I have is sized in powers of 2. Even my tiles are 32x63 :cry: So I have been building lots of art editing tools. Any way I thought I would pass the thread along for anyone who wishes to see some C++ examples for this

For those of you doing Delphi...

function NextPow2(iNum: integer): integer;
var
iTmp: integer;
begin
   iTmp := 1;
   while (iTmp<iNum) do
    iTmp:= iTmp shl 1;
 
   result := iTmp;
end;

Note: This is not my Delphi code but rather a quick translation I did from one of the examples in the thread. I think it is much better than what I came up with :)

Great thanks! :)

Here is a list of free game development libraries that has been floating around on GameDev for the last couple of days. I thought you guys may find it useful.

The GameDev thread where you can suggest additions to the list can be found here. http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=291432
