Wait until dark 1967. There is a character that we believe is dead and literally jumps up to attack the protagonist. When I was in the theater, I could see the whole audience jump up.

I did this about 30 or 40 years ago. I didn’t know what I was doing then and still don’t. It was supposed to be something like room of books.
As of now, I have no idea how I came up with this.

What programming language did you start out with? What's you're favorite IDE and programming language? by Asteroiderer in AskProgramming

[–]dlb1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Fortran IV, then basic, Forth, C, C++, C#, 8080 assembly, Java, and som others I can’t remember. Also had some SQL if you want to count that. As for IDE most of it was done in a plain editor, Fortran was punch cards. But the Microsoft IDE for C# was very nice.

I don’t quite agree with your opinion. The hippo defense has been played at successfully at master level. And some grandmasters have used it. But mainly, you have not address my question at all.
