What’s New Scooby Doo does a good job of expanding the characters’ personalities and even does more to establish the Fred and Daphne relationship. Do wish I could get the whole franchise but only bits and pieces are available. 🙁

Never have been a bit fan of disaster films, Gilligan’s Island was always preferred. Granted, I will watch some of…[Read more]

Sorry, this one. The final chapter can be skipped. It felt like it was tacked on as an afterthought but, otherwise, it isn’t bad.

Well, there’s always Vault-Tec 😛

Yep. Generally, macro functions are used sparingly in code as they’re harder to read and find information on than stuff in the standard but Common appears to use macros extensively. Not sure if it’ll be the same in the main code. Should be able to start looking at the main code either next week or the following. I’ve got about ten more files that…[Read more]

Oh, that’s no issue at all. C++, unlike other languages, is very flexible when it comes to style. You can even have all of the code on one line if you want or even split things across several lines. The biggest thing is to make sure you use the delimiters appropriately, either in your macros (so they’re properly expanded during the pre-processing…[Read more]

The end bracket is supposedly inserted by the final function macro.
Here’s the definition in dl_base.h:
#if defined(__MSDOS__)
#define SYS_MSDOS(Cmd) Cmd
#define SYS_WIN32(Cmd)
#define SYS_UNIX(Cmd)
#define SYS_NONE(Cmd)
#elif defined(_WIN32)
#define SYS_MSDOS(Cmd)
#define SYS_WIN32(Cmd) Cmd
#define SYS_UNIX(Cmd)

Picked up the ground cover: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyla_%28genus%29 🙂

Not sure of the specific species, though. Couldn’t get enough mimosa locally so I went with frog fruit instead.

Another oddity that’ll need investigation:
SYS_WIN32(m_TimerID = timeSetEvent(55, 22, l_Win32TimerProc, 0, TIME_PERIODIC));

SYS_WIN32(if (m_TimerID == 0) {
)
SYS_WIN32( ErrorHandler.AddError(ERR_BADINPUT,
"Failed to initialize the timer using SetTimer()!") );
SYS_WIN32( return (FALSE)…[Read more]

Started reading Rubicon yesterday and imagine my surprise when it was dedicated to a Warcraft III character 😛

Do you mean this one? Possibly if it’s a drop-in replacement

Haven’t gotten to the windowing code yet but, as I recall, DOS and Windows had totally different ways of handling that so they’d likely be incompatible. Removing it won’t change the binary at all but will reduce code cruft.

Sorry, meant prefixed. Will definitely need to get the…[Read more]

Just realized I accidentally changed the formatting for the overloaded operators. They should still work but the style no longer matches common practices. These are mostly in classes that are reimplementations of features in the Standard Library so they may be getting removed during the overhaul but I still need to correct my boo-boo

Unrelated…[Read more]

This isn’t exactly a note but more something interesting that I just found. Some of the files have conditional includes that check for DOS or regular Windows, even though DOS was mostly phased out in the mid-90s for the consumer (still used for kiosks at the time and since has been mostly superseded by kiosk mode)
#if defined(__MSDOS__)
#include…[Read more]

We may need to sign up for Analytics and/or Search Console. I think the latter is what we would want for that but Google has a ton of tools. There is also a WordPress plugin that helps to integrate with them if we go that route.

On a slow connection, it’s supposed to passively download the site for offline viewing and update the contents as the connection is re-established. However, in my experience, it’s hit or miss. When my connection is acting up, sometimes it downloads the content but not the styles or images while 75% of the time you get to play with T-Rex. Highly…[Read more]

The final season does move away from much of the lore into more standalone sketches but still fun 🙂

Caught up on the Scooby Doo Show, only ever saw half of the episodes. It does a wonderful job expanding on the existing lore. One of the best moments was when Fred randomly told Shaggy to use plan 47 and Shaggy sits in thin air digging through a…[Read more]

Looks like Astyle missed the spacing around the parentheses for function parameters as well in addition to the pointer operands (I wonder if Uncrustify would have worked any better, didn’t think of it at the time) so I’m working on that now. This will take a bit as I need to go through each file and adjust things manually but we’ll get there! 🙂

Researching something (more on that later) and am coming across some interesting tidbits. In post apocalyptic lore, the bunkers are often placed near the coastlines. See the Fallout universe, Silo, and The Walking Dead as US examples (not too familiar with the genre in other locales). This is problematic due in large part to the water table and…[Read more]

Okay, stripped the extraneous characters and updated the repo 🙂

Looking at the to-do list now, the items on it are pretty vague. Maybe we should wait on adding those items to the tracker until we understand them better?

If the docs are now pretty satisfactory, I’ll update the OpenMW thread 🙂

Ooh, the list of fun holidays is just the thing!

Metal horse here! Do find it interesting that Wiki doesn’t provide some details regarding the personality traits like they do on the place mats in Chinese restaurants.

Those are neat! Do miss Think Geek. They used to sell this sort of funky stuff.

Really like the pumpkin! Could be improved by…[Read more]

Okay, got the Features.txt file cleaned up 🙂

There’s also a to-do list in the docs folder that we’ll want to look through. Some of the items may be worth adding to the bug tracker

Okay, got the Readme updated with additional content about the goals and a little bit about its history 🙂
