Sure, most of these topics can be found in the list. I could gather and organize them and maybe add something new. But due to my bad english you'll have to correct some of my writing and maybe ask me, if something isn't descibed exactly enough . I could start with random number generating (also using my recent researches of 3 Activision games) and continue with the optimizing tips. Ok? Have fun!
