Morning.

So I was on the "Spiel!" on Saturday, checking out all the cool new board games and whatnot, especially kid's games since I'll have three new nephews by the end of the year (one is already here).

In case one of you wants inspiration for a very well done puzzle game for young kids, here's a company I talked with: smartgames.eu

I had the chance to play a bit, and their games are well-crafted.

(... or if you're just looking for something for Christmas for the youngest members for your family).

(For the record, I have no financial ties whatsoever with that company, I just met them two day ago on the exhibition)

One of Wikipedia's features articles today is about a man who just was really hungry. Really, really hungry.

> While stationed near Paris, he was recorded as having eaten 174 cats in a year, and although he disliked vegetables, he would eat 4 to 5 pounds (1.8 to 2.3 kg) of grass each day if he could not find other food.

That's... a lot of food

yeah it is

@Wardy @Ali.S yeah, letter. It's 8.5 inches by 11 inches

user92578

Should I prefer writing two separate asserts instead of one with an && statement?

Kevin van der Velden

Two separate has the advantage that, on error, you immediately see which one triggered

I wish WinAPI was wrapped in a namespace...

user92578

Cluttering up Intellisense complection boxes

user92578

I also wish WinAPI didn't suck so hard

if(SUCCEEDED(res))

There's FIVE levels of nested IFs like that in my code for filedialogs

Martin Sojka

try { doStuff(); doMoreStuff(); doOtherStuff(); } catch ( EveryExceptionImaginable ex ) { report("Stuff broke. Too bad."); } finally { cleanupAfterYourself(); }

user92578

That looks dirty I think

Martin Sojka

It's how I deal with if (resource1Allocated()) { if (resource2Allocated())) { if (moreResourcesAllocated()) { ... } } } chains.

That, or the Null Object pattern.

user92578

I guess the issue here is that cleanup() has to do specific stuff based on how far I got

Martin Sojka

Yeah, it typically looks like if (null != res2) { cleanupRes2(); } if (null != res1) { cleanupRes1(); } and so on.

Hmm one day I'm going to have to start Linuxproofing the codebase
