Wikipedia says The lorem ipsum text is typically a mangled section of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st century Latin text by Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed that make it nonsensical and not proper Latin.[1] ->http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2290/what-does-the-filler-text-...

... I liked it ...

Wide range of difficulty? Here's a couple: What is the result of the following code? int x = 5; if (x == 6); { x = 4; } A) x will be four B) x will be six C) x will be five Answer: A What is the difference between a syntax error and a semantic error? A) They are the same thing B) A syntax error will...

I thought it looked like one, derp. I brainfarted and combined his non-pointer syntax with your stuff about placement new. embarrassing

It's not necessary to use a destroy function unless you are using inheritance, as you can call destructors directly: f.~foo(); However, if I see you doing this in any of your code, I will very quickly get the fuck out of there. The placement destructor is actually a very useful construct when you'r...

If you need to return an error condition from your getter, e.g. if you need an error code for if an index doesn't exist, you'll need to use a pointer. const Weapon* g_weapon(int i) { if (i < 0 || i >= num_weapons) { return NULL; /* NULL is your error code */ } return &weapons ; } Unless you want...

I did something similar long ago, but I didn't get too far. I did it with a color map too, actually.

Instead of removing single pixels you could make them able to be passed thru -- if player collides, see if pixel has at least one adjacent collidable pixel?

If you have the time, I strongly recommend finding a copy of http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201309831 C++ FAQs. (The "Lite" version is here http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/ but having read a lot of the book, the book is definitely worthwhile, although some parts are out of date e...

Took me about 30 minutes, and a chair and posture adjustment, but I "beat" you since I have 100% accuracy? :) Heh typingtest.png I know a bloke who knows a bloke who knows a bloke. Now, I know you know this bloke. This is a bloke you know. Funny I messed it up like 6 times writing it here...

Dwarf Fortress sort of came out of the blue...

I tried to pick something annoying but NOOOOOO

If you're only ever using it once ... I wouldn't worry as much about the efficiency of the code as the efficiency of the time it takes you to write it. This. BFS is pretty standard anyways. If you want to parse XML, that's an option, but you definitely want to use an existing library so that you do...

Also, I think that CS is in slightly higher demand than CPE, but it's probably pretty close.

CPE: Drivers
CS: Applications
