1. Instead of a million if-elses, homeboy could just make a table associating the numbers he's checking with the parameters to the two functions he repeatedly calls, and the whole thing could look like this:

Code:

static struct {
	int BandaidsNeeded;
	int CharacterUnlock;
	int UnlockScreen;
} TableThing[] = {

	{ 10, IMGC_G15M, UNLOCK_G15M },
	{ 20, IMBC_8BITMEATBOY, UNLOCK_8BITMEATBOY },
	{ 30, IMBC_NINJA, UNLOCK_NINJA },
	etc
};

void GSMBChapterData::AwardBandageGet()
{
	int iNumBandaids = 0;
	for( etc )
	{
		iNumBandaids = whatever;
	}

	for( INT i = 0; i < countof( TableThing ); i++ )
	{
		if ( iNumBandaids == TableThing[i].BandaidsNeeded )
		{
			UnlockCharacter( TableThing[i].CharacterUnlock );
			SMBHUD->AddUnlockScreen( TableThing[i].UnlockScreen );
			break;
		}
	}
	
}

2. WHY DO U HATE SWITCH STATEMENTS AND/OR PEOPLE WHO READ YOUR CODE

But yeah I haven't seen it, although Fez and Braid were both amazing games so perhaps I should. I wouldn't say I'm part of the Nickelback of the game design world, cause everyone says Nickelback blows; we're more the Maroon 5, in that we're wildly popular and most mainstream ppl love our ****, and all the hipsters are like "wow they sold out a long time ago" while we're sitting on top of the piles of money we make not giving a ****.

That's still not quite accurate cause we still work really hard at improving what we do, despite already being on top, but in terms of music it's a better analogy.

Not tonight, no.

EDIT: I only now realized it's not obvious what that picture is - it's a screenshot from the vid Keyser posted, a few seconds in when some dude is looking at (ugly) code.

I think anyone who goes into making independent games are either really stupid or really brave... or wealthy

Meh, I think they're just doing what they want to do. I watched Indie Game and they all seemed pretty passionate about what they were doing and if that's what brings joy to a person's life, then I don't think it's necessarily brave and/or stupid.
It was a good movie although I personally disliked Fish or whatever his name was.

I just feel that if the same people with the same talent applied their time and energy into another field they would be way more successful

Kil wtf? Why are you considering using again? Talk to family / friends or get a therapist / go to a support group. Please don't get involved in opiates again. You know that's a terrible idea, you're better than that.

Go work an awesome job and you will be happy. I am enjoying my job more than my average student day, although some days obviously suck and having random days off was also nice.

Get other friends.

Yeah, that might be true. I certainly won't be poor like I am now

It's just the unjustified fear of passing the unwritten line of "going into society"

I work a part time job now teaching children 4 days a week, EVEN THEN I can't see myself working 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, for years

The thought of it just terrifies me

being a strung out, broke opiate addict likely in prison sounds way better! Quit being dumb.

i'm all for encouraging someone to do whatever they want, but the other dudes itt are right, opiates are bad mmmmk. in my hometown, a whole bunch of kids in the classes younger than me have died from heroin overdoses. I presume dying isn't on your agenda, so getting into opiates seems like a bad plan.

don't they have pot in japan? you're rich now so get one of these and you can be baked 24/7 if you wanted.

Will be in Philly/at Parx this evening with some old College friends and AC all day tomorrow! I already have let KylePhilly know and he's gonna come out, any 2+2ers anywhere in southern PA/NJ are invited as well for poker and drinking shenanigans!

Last time I saw kyle i got blacked out and had a great time, so can only get better if poker is included this time
