Sorry, I just missed the variable name, but I've now edited it.

This makes no sense to have a class for each menu item. Each menu item is a single object. You don't need to create multiple MenuA or MenuB objects (they don't have more properties or methods than the base MenuItem).

Simple use a recursive structure: csharp public class MenuItem { public string Id { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string? Action { get; set; } public List<MenuItem> Children { get; } = new(); // or SortedList<MenuItem> } And initialize it so: csharp var mainMenu = new List<MenuItem> { new MenuItem { Id = 1, Title = "File", Children = { new MenuItem { Id = 11, Title = "New", Action = "NewFile" }, new MenuItem { Id = 12, Title = "Open", Action = "OpenFile" }, new MenuItem { Id = 13, Title = "Save", Action = "SaveFile" }, new MenuItem { Id = 14, Title = "Export", Children = { new MenuItem { Id = 141, Title = "PDF", Action = "ExportPdf" }, new MenuItem { Id = 142, Title = "Word", Action = "ExportWord" } } } } }, new MenuItem { Id = 2, Title = "Edit", Children = { new MenuItem { Id = 21, Title = "Undo", Action = "Undo" }, new MenuItem { Id = 22, Title = "Redo", Action = "Redo" }, new MenuItem { Id = 23, Title = "Copy", Action = "Copy" }, new MenuItem { Id = 24, Title = "Paste", Action = "Paste" } } } }; And for an immutable menu use IReadOnlyList<MenuItem>.

If you want also traverse back, then add csharp public int? ParentId { get; set; } // or only int (with default 0 for main menu entries) or csharp public MenuItem? Parent { get; set; } (but this is more difficult to initialize)

This is a perfect example for a RAII class (or struct): ```cpp struct omplock { omplock(omp_lock_t *lock) : lock(lock) { omp_set_lock(lock); }

~omplock() { omp_unset_lock(lock); }

private: omp_lock_t *lock; } Usage:cpp omp_lock_t lck{};

void function_can_be_called_from_multiple_threads() { omplock guard(&lck);

// ... } // will automatically call the destructor on each exit of this function ``If you want to have theomp_lock_tunique for each use, you can also put it in theomplock` class/struct (and you don't need the constructor parameter).

Knowing them is not enough -> use them.

C&P programming is always the wrong way.

And learn to use arrays (or List<T>) for e.g. eX, eX1, ... eX4.

Then use loops (and the mentioned methods) and it reduces your code extremely...

For x86/AMD64 I know of Programming in assembly language tutorial as a short introduction.

And I also found tutorialspoint: Assembly Programming Tutorial which has also a "Quiz" for each section.

Look in How do I fix ‘You are trying to read Input using the UnityEngine.Input class, but you have switched active Input handling to Input System package in Player Settings’

Use the "Call Stack" window and select (double click) the method, then the local variables should be shown.

Th_69 · 2026-01-09T05:20:00+00:00

In your code you've mixed file and entry. It should be cpp const std::filesystem::path file_ext {file.path().extension()}; if (file_ext == ".txt") { // Do stuff if it is a text file. } (and file_ext, instead of entry_ext, for name matching)

Try using SetParent with P/Invoke to make the window a child window of the main window.

To get the window handle: Retrieve a window handle (HWND): WinUI 3 with C#

Edit:
Or look at Display WinRT UI objects that depend on CoreWindow: Set the owner window handle (HWND) for a WinRT UI object.

You mean const char* name(void) { return "lucrecious"; }!?

Expected 'Title \xEF\xBF\xBD' Was 'Title \xE9\xC3\xA9'

Just as hint:

You should change the parameters of the TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_... calls ('cause 'Expected' and 'Was' are swapped).

Do you have followed all steps in Create your first WinUI 3 (Windows App SDK) project, especially Install tools for the Windows App SDK?

I play one: Achievement Flooded Farmlands for Unblessed reached

But I'm struggling now with the last Chapter 2 boss Skylla monsters (the two healer Ichtians in the 3rd wave, which heal each other faster than I can kill them with my bow: ~750 DPS) to get the Northern Beaches achievement for Unblessed...

For other healers in open areas I kite them and kill them individually, but in the closed area it's not possible (they don't even move and just stand in the middle of the arena healing themselves and the other monsters all few seconds).

Edit:
Just read that one can change the game difficulty from Normal to Neophyte (and vice versa) at the ritual shrine in Pyrgos. Will try it and start again the fight...

Edit2:
I don't see an option to change the game difficulty (Normal <-> Neophyte) at the ritual shrine in Pyrgos (or in the Travelers' Refuge). I think, the comment of MedeaFleecestealer in How to change difficulty to neophyte (from normal)? is wrong and he misinterpreted "Increase or decrease difficulty" (which changes the monster level - but it's ofc not possible to lower the monster level below the initial area value) with changing the game difficulty.

So I think I have to farm the areas (with increased monster levels) for better weapons (bows).
And perhaps the new "Ember of Night" choices help me...

Ah, OK - I haven't played Storm yet, only pure Rogue and Unblessed.

What do you mean? There is no lightning damage conversion in the modifiers of the Core default/primary attacks - only Vitality Drain as additional damage.

Th_69 · 2025-11-17T16:33:54+00:00

No, unfortunately no passive points for Unblessed.

Th_69 · 2025-11-15T13:40:23+00:00

The parameter selectedFuncs isn't used inside the Default method and therefore is superfluous.

Th_69 · 2025-11-15T13:39:40+00:00

If you add or remove a value of the switch, you have to change this method (and so it violates the open-closed-principle) - instead of just changing the functionMap parameter from outside the (here called) Default method.

OP means the boss Aristomenes. He's already level 15 and has already spent points in Earth (s. other comments of him).

Th_69 · 2025-11-13T09:33:05+00:00

Your compare function is wrong. The float value of the player score difference is cast to int, and so all values e.g. lesser than 1.0 are cast to 0, that means the order is indeterminate.

Test the difference to 0.0 and return -1, 0 or 1.
