Every game goes better during development…
So does mine

Notice, that a game can display MP3 tag which is currently playing - simple feature but looks nice.

Some time ago, I started writing simple casual game - tetris Idea of a game is nearly the same age as me, but I decided to create a 3D variation of it.
At the begining every game look like a crap, so does mine.

Disaster

My workshop and some technical info:

• Operating system - Linux, it also smoothly works on Windows
• Programming language: C++
• Libraries used: OpenGL, nVidia Cg, boost, SDL, GLee, FreeType, FmodEx, id3lib
• IDE: Eclipse CDT and Vim
• Other tools: Blender, GIMP

There is another pseudo-register useful when working with C# language:

$exception

It contains last exception that is thrown by an application.
Suppose that we have code like this:

with $exception pseudo-register you can easily examine it:

I found a very interesting feature of Visual Studio's debugger. It's been there for a long time but many developers do not know (including me) that pseudo-registers can be helpful.
There are more registers but I will mention just two of them.

@ERR

Well, it returns the same as GetLastError(), It optionally can return formatted string - just write it like @err,hr
I think I don't need to add more, screens below are self-explanatory

$user

Provides many informations about a user executing current process

Happy debugging.

Did you know where the C# name come from? I didn't
According to wikipedia: "The name "C sharp" was inspired from musical notation where a sharp indicates that the written note should be made a half-step higher in pitch".

Stupid
