RE: So you wanna make a laser go faster?
Imagine my surprise when I discovered the fact that, despite there being up to 30 or 40 lasers in a single room and upwards of a few hundred on a whole level (all of which needed to be held in memory at once), each laser beam was given its own in-game entity. This meant that each laser had a logical class in charge of handling it's game logic (i.e. "Has the player touched me?") and a graphical class in charge of rendering it to the screen.
So seperate handling functions for each laser??

RE: Nightmare client
You could just build a windows app in .Net which just consists of an imbedded internet explorer control. That won't have the save as option, but it will show webpages like ie and you can put in your own url bar and forward/back buttons if needed (I doubt they need much other than a viewer it sounds like). Your post suggests that they would accept this solution...

RE: Has anyone seen this?
[quote user="sparked"]
Here's my favorite:
void foreach(int a[], int func(int n))
{
for(int i = (sizeof(a) / 4) - 1; i > -1; --i)
a[i] = func(a[i]);
}[/quote]
This is my favorite too for sheer utter pointlessness, and as a solution supposed to make coding faster that actually makes it slower. I especially like the reasoning given for it:
"I was coding a project that used arrays when the lack of a standard foreach in C/C++ got to me. So, I coded this little function to help me. It applies a function that returns int to each element of the array."
The invalid C++ syntax is probably because it is written in Managed C++. That's must be how sizeof can return the size of the array just from the pointer. The use of a backward iteration in the foreach function only obfuscates when forward iteration would have been fine. Plus why not use a list container instead of an array if you are getting annoyed using (sizeof(a) / 4) in every for loop? Much better than a solution that only works for ints and requires writing callback functions.

RE: Top notch code
I would have created the states list like this:
CreateState("AlasKa");
CreateState("ALabama");
CreateState("ARkansas");
CreateState("AriZona");
That way I don't even have to enter the abreviations as a seperate string.
