• Of recursion and backtracking

  Recently, I was working on a coding kata on codewars.com. Early on, I started thinking that a potential solution might utilize recursion, a concept that involves a function calling itself. However, I quickly realized that my grasp of recursion was not as solid as it needed to be for this task. In this post, I will share the insights gained from deepening my understanding of recursion while working through the kata. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• 4th year, about to fail an entire semester's worth of classes.

  Get more involved. Look into internships and junior SWE positions to get a sample of what you'd be applying for once you graduate. Solve coding challenges, start working on a portfolio of your personal works. I recommend codewars.com for coding challenges, it's fun. Source: over 2 years ago

• Beginner with C++ looking for direction

  I'd recommend to play around with some basic coding challenges on leetcode.com or codewars.com. If the course prepared you well you won't find this useful, but playing around with them will make sure that you are comfortable with basics such as loops, if statements etc. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Can you guys recommend an efficient way to learn in advance IT para sa mga walang alam?

  I would advise for you to start with Python, it's a beginner-friendly programming language and it'll help with wrapping your mind around things. Play around with it, perhaps do some katas on CodeWars and you'll be set. Source: about 3 years ago

• How do I develop programming logic?

  There is a website called codewars.com where you can select problems of varying difficulty for the language you need. It is very helpful for learning. Source: about 3 years ago

• Isocoaster – Theme Park Builder

  Feels like a vibe coded RCT clone. Cool project, but lacks the polish that makes games actually fun to play. I'd much rather someone drop https://openrct2.io/ into emscripten with open-source graphics. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Interview with RollerCoaster Tycoon's Creator, Chris Sawyer

  This game _is_ my childhood. Spent countless hours one summer doing every scenario, learning all the little easter eggs (Michael Schumacher on the Go karts anyone?). The spirit of this game lives on now in OpenRCT2 [1] - which brings the game into the modern age and is backwards compatible with all the scenarios from the original. It even features multiplayer park building. [1] https://openrct2.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Rollercoaster Tycoon (Or, MicroProse's Last Hurrah)

  Loved playing this game as a kid, Open Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 has been great for some recent replays: https://openrct2.io. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Valve releases Team Fortress 2 game code

  "Emulator" is the wrong word, but the answer is yes. The word you actually meant was "re-implementation" - writing a completely new, clean-room program which reads Source data files (levels, assets, scripts) and allows the user to play a Source game is perfectly legal. It is necessary to avoid distributing any copyrighted material, so the user must provide the game assets from a legitimate copy for using the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• RollerCoaster Tycoon was the last of its kind [video]

  If someone ever gets the itch to play RTC again, I’d recommend taking a look at OpenRTC2 [0] for a bunch of QoL improvements. [0] https://openrct2.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
