I just use VS Code with minimal frills when I do C++. It mostly stays out of my way and that's what I like about it. It has a few quirks, but so does everything.

I tried VSCode and while I find it all in all good I despise its side-panels management. When I can I cram everything in VS and use the external toolchain to compile. I'm using it for an embedded Linux sw, I used it for microcontrollers... Big Grin | :-D

They never bothered me that much. Once I got the hang of ctrl+click to open in the side it was all gravy for me.

Mostly I like VS Code because it's got a nice mix of minimal UI wrapped around maximum functionality. I have yet to find a file type it can't open. Makes it super nice for me working on my TTF library because I can just open a test font file and look at all the glyphs in VS Code.

I really hope they backport some of that functionality into Visual Studio or something but I doubt it because they are such different products.

A.k.a. namespace pollution.

If you import a large amount of classes/functions, that you do not know the name of, you end up with a higher risk of running into namespace collisions.

Anyone who has played "shooter" games knows about "hit points".

I was fascinated to find rules for an 1824 Prussian war game that was attributed to later Prussian military successes. Back then they were assigning hit points to units.

As infantry in 3 ranks: .2 HP per man
In 2 ranks: .33 HP
Skirmishers: .66 HP
etc.

A half-Battalion (450 men) can "fire" anywhere from 2 - 60 HP, depending on range and probabilities.

I want to be a skirmisher.

I'm currently playing Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries and am quite happy with my 75 ton Black Knight. It's armor alone has a few hundred hit points. And it can step on tanks. Why waste good ammo on them?

Still, it's only a matter of time before I scrape a Marauder [^] off the battlefield, even if I have to scrap it myself first. I always had a Marauder, beginning with Mechwarrior 1.

These types of mechanized exoskeletons have become a lot more believable since Boston Dynamics perfected walking robots.

Not really, at least not the huge versions that can step on tanks. For the same reasons why a flea can jump a few thousand times its size while an elephant can't jump at all. It's the inverse cube law- Double something in size and its mass increases eight times. An elephant sized flea could not jump a few miles.

Without some Unobtanium[^] such devices or movie giant monsters will never exist in this universe.

The shows in the real robot genre are at least a bit more plausible, like Patlabor.
Or Fang of the Sun Dougram, where they paid some attention to terrain and tactics. For instance, a 2-legged mech isn't very useful on sand dunes.
