The educational value of my slides is hitting a high this week:
(we're talking about DSL and RAII, both of which are silly acronyms to say macros to make a cool language that fly spaceships)

If you're using DearIMGui for some code stuff I highly recommend this node editor! Wow, I'm never going back... github.com/thedmd/imgui...

Nope, it was a language I made up for class that was really simple and used the C++ pre-processor to generate opcodes for the sandbox.
I regret that design choice now. I tried to replicate some of the logic from my macross assembler if/else logic, but preprocessor is a tough crowd.

I'm pretty happy with the way AstroBots is turning out. Except the collision detection issues I need to fix (and by fix I mean search GitHub for someone's well tested library I can use).

I remade c-robots as c++asteroids using my macross library to make opcode driven bot ships.

I have never made SO MANY slides for a class before... but this is the cool part of a chess engine, using bits to do MAGIC.

In my 1972 talk I have a bit on punch tape and how it was encoded (and how quickly it wore out). I include this picture of here of a gentleman looking at punch tape in an old picture of an NCR500 computer. That gentleman? That's my dad.

I think this is going to be two of my classes tomorrow. Carrying on the Halloween theme. Besides, I know the guy who made this game.

I've been working a little bit on a murder mystery game, as a university lecturer, this is about as much murder solving I can get in before class.

Big important classes tomorrow. I redo both of these slides every time I teach these concepts (alongside minimax/negamax which I also redo) and slowly I'm getting there in having these difficult concepts come across as really as simple as they really are.
