example of how bad off we are

[Tank Program]

I happened to run into this in ePlayer.cpp:

Code: Select all

tOutput mess;
tString name;
name << *this << ColorString(1,.5,.5); 
mess.SetTemplateParameter(1, name);
mess.SetTemplateParameter(2, score);
mess << "$player_left_game";
sn_ConsoleOut(mess);

What the heck is that? "mess" ? "mess" ? Ok. What is "mess" describing? We have no idea. We know what it does fortunately, but still, really...

Wow, that is bad. Manuel probably got to the point where he wanted everybody who reads the code to have a good laugh.

I was at armagetron.sourceforge.net and noticed he has CVS available through sf. Although, I haven't used it.

mess is probably short for message

Not what comes to mind when you are thinking of this code...

i can absolutely agree to that (remember a time i appropriately named a certain troublesome function "f.u.c.k." lol)
