This week I am getting into my favourite thing currently: Stack Overflow.
Stack Overflow
Stack Overflow is a website, where people tell you shit. If you're stuck, you post your question, then loads of fucking geniuses (genii?) clamber over each other to tell you exactly what it is you're doing wrong. Now there are good and bad sides to this, the bad side is that some people just use it to get other people to do their work for them. Without wanting to sound like your year 9 PE teacher, you don't get any benefit from not doing it yourself, now take your pants off and get in those showers. The good side however is that when you have tried everything you can think of it is an excellent resource to push you in the right direction.
My favourite thing about Stack Overflow is when you ask a question and the answer you get is something you already know but you just hadn't thought of it. It's nice sometimes to get a little bit of a positive reinforcement that your knowledge can solve the problems you have.

Camel Casing
Camel Casing is fucking class. It is a method used in the naming of variables and such when coding. Like so.
String camelCasedString;
The reason it makes me laugh is because it took me about ten minutes to realise why it is called Camel Casing. The little humps in the middle. Those humps are class. They make me thing about camels and camels rule. There are lots of naming conventions for things in coding, I don't know if I do it right but for variables I use Camel Casing, for methods and classes I use Camel Casing but starting with a capital letter.

A Program for you!
| the_dice_game.exe |
When you write a program, and finish it, you get washed over with a sense of pride. Pride that you can only feel of you managed to bang Kylie Minogue in the 80s. The thing about Kylie is she looks the same as she did in the 80s. The only explanation I can think of is that she eats the souls of all of her sexual partners, and there have been a lot. I mean here is a woman who is old enough to be my promiscuous Mother who has slept with all of my friends, but she looks like she is young enough to be my promiscuous daughter who has slept with all of my friends.
Anyway, I have been trying various different things to improve my coding and one of the things I found was a trove of about 300 programming exercises, rosetta code if you feel like googling it. On there was one to make a dice game where two players play against each other. The aim is to get to 100, after each roll you have a choice, roll again to keep building your score, or lock in the points. Obviously you would just keep rolling, except if you roll a 1 you lose all of the points not locked in. Get it? Cool here it is for you to play! Enjoy!
