The probably biggest challenge of this project is getting it done over Thanksgiving! It’ll be interesting to have two different types of cells on the board and seeing them mutate. Seeing both of the implentations interacting with each other will be cool.

The project wasn’t so bad, it was fun. I learned a lot about classes in c++ and found it interesting how what we did in order to connect classes and what objective-c does for classes extremely similar and I guess that’s why Objective-C works like it does. If you don’t know in Obj-C you have to create a .h and .m files, .h being header files and .m being implementation files.
Interesting indeed.
I remember doing the Darwin project back in CS315, we didn’t have to generate UML for it or worry about memory either( it was done in java). This seems to be more interesting this time around, we have to create our own species class. I know i’ll be making a zombie class because everyone knows you can’t stop a zombie onslaught!
Used recursion on the sudoku solver also used function defaults to reuse code. Also used macros to allow clearier code. It came out much differently then I expected but it was a good recursive refresher.
Edit: hit the save button instead of publish!
Friend classes and methods are interesting and slightly amusing that if you are friends with someone that doesn’t mean they are friends with you. It’s also interesting that there are different types of methods, const being a new one to me.

Test 2 is tomorrow, it seems like we just took test 1 not to long ago. I still haven’t been able to find a partner for project 5 and wonder if I will be able to. I need to finish looking over the last few quizzes so TTYL!
It’s wierd I had read about function pointers about two days before the schedule but it was in an objective-c book talking about underlying c. The book is by Stephan Kochan, it was a pretty good read and if you are familiar with coding you can probably skip the first 6 or so chapters.
