Accelerated C++

Sounds like an impossible mission to me as well, but trying doesn't hurt. Read this: parashift.com. It should warn you of some pitfalls, and maybe even potential interview questions.

Can't run this code
28th December 2009

Data expressions must be constant. [tt]Data Chr(65)[/tt] isn't constant, and neither is [tt]Data a[/tt]. It shouldn't compile, but that doesn't explain why a dialog box pops up. Report to Mark, perhaps?

QOTD - What should I buy for my dad?
24th December 2009

Give him some sort of a puzzle, such as a sudoku machine or a Rubik's Cube.
I'm usually against giving away money or gift cards. Gifts are supposed to be chosen by the giver, not the receiver.

Ugh... importing classes from a DLL?!
17th December 2009

Because it's a language which was designed almost 30 years ago. It is an outmoded way of doing things, but C++ is extremely rigid by now and the compilation model can't simply change.
However, most linker errors stem from either:

DarkGDK is probably linking to the CRT dynamically, so try /MDd for the projects instead.

To solve the linker problems, try changing the 'Code Generation' option to be the /MTd for both of your projects.

To drink or not to drink!

Over here, drinking at 15 is common. Even though the legal drinking age is 18. Are these laws taken more seriously in the US, or abroad in general?

Where do you get the fun from?

A game is fun if playing it is rewarding. You need to find a way to make the game challenging, and praise the player when he crosses the hindrances.

If you're afraid of .DLLs, you can statically link to SFML and get one fat executable instead. Regarding cross-platform-ness, SFML can run on Macintosh/Linux.

Why does everyone love PHP?

I was thinking of ASP.NET in particular, but also of Ruby or Python. I can't imagine that those languages suffer from anything which would make them less stable or mature than PHP. I know there have been some performance concerns with Ruby on Twitter, but *snip*
