Wouldn't it be nice if I had a bow so I could use my tower.

Steal the cookie from the person above you!

Example:

"I trip you and take the cookie away"

Next poster:

"I ran into you, you drop the cookie. I take the cookie.''


Be creative.

I want your opinions and how I can improve on as a moderator.

How good of a job do you think I do, and how do you think I could improve?

Hey everyone, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZbqg_7Gg...ideo_title

I'd like an opinion from all of you considering all of the hard work I put into this. I know that there are some flaws in it, but those will be fixed in version 2.0. Let me know what you think! (Read the description of the video for more information)

I can't seem to delete individual comments...

Is there a problem with it or am I just not doing it right?

I've been wondering this...

I am leaving for myrtle beach the 13th and coming back the 20th. I just wanted to give you all a heads up. Thank you.

FROM DUST

It looks so awesome, its a new god game (like black and white, another game I like), where you like mould the world around you, and the director of the game is Eric Chahi (creator of my favourite game :D)

Im looking forward to play this game when it comes out

Hello all,

I decided to create a "tutorial" for C++ (I don't like calling it a tutorial, but whatever). I wrote it kinda quickly, so please gimme feedback.

This part is a tutorial of the language syntax, without the standard library.

C++ is so close to the hardware it's not even funny. Some people really like this; some really hate it. C++ is a low-level high-level language; it doesn't have a garbage collector and you have to do many things manually. C++ code is compiled into what we call processor instructions, which are the small commands that the processor can read and execute. This, and the aggressive optimizations the compiler is allowed to do, give C++ its amazing speed and efficiency.

This tutorial assumes you have some basic programming knowledge, be it in a high-level scripting language or other.

VARIABLES

In C++, variables are keywords that refer to a space in memory. To declare a variable, you must specify its type so that the compiler knows how much space to allocate and what processor instructions to use when manipulating said variable. For example, [lua]int x;[/lua] will declare (create) a variable of size "int", which on most modern machines is 4 bytes. Please note that the variable x is declared but not initialized, so you can't rely on it being 0. [lua]int x = 0;[/lua] or [lua]int x(0);[/lua] initialize x to 0.

Variable sizes on most modern machines


[*] bool: 1 byte (but can only be 1 or 0)
[*] char: 1 byte
[*] short [int]: 2 bytes
[*] long [int]: 4 bytes
[*] int: 4 bytes
[*] long long: 8 bytes
[*] float: 4 bytes
[*] double: 8 bytes
[*] long double: 12 bytes

Arrays

An array is a series of variables, which all have the same data type. To declare an array of five integers, do [lua]int x[5];[/lua] To access the third element from the array, do [lua]x[3][/lua]

Pointers

Pointers are a special type of variable, that hold a memory address. They are declared by putting an asterisk after the data type they're meant to point to. A pointer to integers is declared like this: [lua]int * x;[/lua]
A common misconception is that pointers don't take up memory, but they actually do, and sometimes quite a bit. All pointers on a machine take up the same amount of memory, be them pointers to integers, to bools, or doubles. Pointers take up 32-bits (4 bytes) on 32-bit machines, and 64-bits (8 bytes) on 64-bit machines.

To access the data pointed to by the pointer (dereference), put an asterisk in front of it: [lua]*x[/lua] If the pointer points to a series of objects (array), access its elements as if the pointer were the array: [lua]x[number][/lua] If the pointer points to an instance of a class or struct (see Structs section), access its members by using [lua]x->member[/lua] or [lua](*x).member[/lua] These lead to some misconceptions, and will be discussed further in the next section.[lua]x[0][/lua] == [lua]*x[/lua]

[lua]x[number][/lua] == [lua]*(x + number)[/lua]
