I don't know C++, but here's an R solution.

secret = "penis"
count = 0
max_guesses = 7

while(TRUE){
  guess = as.character(readline('Guess letter: '))
  print(guess)
  if(grepl(guess, secret) && nchar(guess) == 1){
    print(paste0(guess, " was in the word!"))
    secret = gsub(guess, '', secret)
  }else{
    print("Not in word")
    count = count + 1
  }
  if(nchar(secret) == 0){
    print("ayy")
    break
  }
  if(count >= max_guesses){
    print("lmao")
    break
  }
}

I don't know C++, but here's a Ruby solution.
http://ideone.com/ZBHh4e

@secret = 'ayy'
@answer = '___'
@mistakes = 7

def fuck! ass
  @mistakes -= 1 if ass.each{|i| @answer[i] = @secret[i]}.empty?
end

def shit dick
  (0...@secret.length).select{|i| @secret[i] == dick}
end

def balls
  puts "Clue: #{@answer}\nGuess a letter:"
  gets[0]
end

fuck! shit balls while @answer != @secret && @mistakes > 0

puts @answer == @secret ? 'you win' : 'fuck you'

I don't know C++, but here's a Javascript solution.
https://jsfiddle.net/ntLxjq59/

secret='ayy'
answer='___'
mistakeCount=0
maxMistakeCount=7

function fuck() {
  alert("clue: "+answer)
  shit(prompt("Guess a letter")) || mistakeCount++
}

function shit(c) {
  if (!c.length) return false
  s = secret.split('')
  a = answer.split('')
  b = false
  for (i=0; i<secret.length; i++)
    c==s[i] && (b=true, a[i]=c)
  answer=a.join('')
  return b
}

while (answer!=secret && maxMistakeCount>mistakeCount) fuck()

window.alert(answer==secret ? 'you win' : 'fuck you')

yep yepyepyepyepyepeyp

I had this problem for a long time. My fingers used to hurt like hell while coding during the winter. Here's a few things I learned:

1. Make sure your forearms are level or downward-sloping so that your hands receive more blood flow. Raise your chair or lower your keyboard if possible.

2. Wear a sweater, and if it has a zipper, make sure to zip it up all the way to your neck. I personally hate the feeling of clothing around my neck but it makes a big difference.

I've got this in 50FPS but the resolution is smaller than 720p so YouTube won't output it at full FPS. Could anyone upscale this to 720P? I don't have any good tools for doing this without losing a lot of quality. Here's the file: https://mega.co.nz/#!SsoWVDSS!CvLhw2W0vekwCSF6Bly7bQ9LyViyW-_35QfT14kjeF4

Also, a bunch of people added me on steam after I made this thread but I forgot your names. Could you guys message me with your email address so I can add you as channel managers?

Already uploaded bro! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRNARy0DwKI

Unfortunately the download links in these videos' descriptions are broken. I'm still looking for these.

I'm also looking for "x6.avi or Something" in 60FPS. (The editor no longer has it)

I'm not a .NET dev but from what I understand:

C# and the .NET Framework are very popular for game development but only have first-class support on Windows. There is an independent open-source implementation of .NET called Mono that is widely used to get .NET projects running on non-Windows platforms... but such a project will always be incomplete/buggy.

But now that Ballmer's gone:
- Mono (and similar projects) can use & redistribute pieces of .NET instead of having to reimplement all of it.
- Mac & Linux are getting first-class support for some .NET components.

Brownymaster implied in his post that this could be huge for cross-platform game development. Hypothetically, we'll be seeing more games on Mac/Linux in the future. I think this mostly applies to indie games though... this is probably irrelevant for triple A games.

I don't think Prem was created in 60FPS unfortunately.

Does anyone have dellort's jump videos saved? I can't find them.

Hey all, I decided to get the ball rolling on a 60FPS reupload channel.

If anyone wants to continue this project please contact me so I can add you as a manager.

p.s. I am looking for these if anyone's got em:

• x6.avi or Something
  
• Pretty Jumps N Stuff
  
• Jump Fortress 2

for historical reasons

Well here's the deal, I don't want to hire people who are disengaged at work, don't try to constantly improve their skills, and just show up in order to earn a paycheck.

Side projects are an easy way to show me that you care about software engineering and you treat it as a craft as well as a living. Which makes it much more fun to work with you.

A lack of a portfolio isn't a dealbreaker, and I certainly don't hold it against candidates who have impressive resumes otherwise. But if all you have is a B.S. and an internship...even you probably don't know if you love software engineering or not.

This is easy for people who don't go to MIT ;)

Everything that Brownymaster, Flame, and mikejs is saying is true, despite the contradictions. Software is a HUGE landscape and every company, market, and subdiscipline of engineering will look at your resume differently.

Flame and I were in the same program at Rutgers and were pretty much roommates. I took a slightly different path since I didn't graduate. We're both "software engineers" now...but I doubt we'd be able to get a job at each others' companies.

As for the CompSci vs CompEng thing:
Flame is adamant about this because the CS program at Rutgers was a joke. I don't know how it is at other state schools but it's probably similar. Keep in mind that switching your major from CompEng to CompSci should be pretty painless...you won't lose anything by trying.

If you go to a top school like Stanford/Waterloo however, you should be set with any technical degree really.
