I believe the leading 'c' stood for "class", not "C" (or "C++") itself.

Hamlet
My first thought was Mcbeth (spelt that way due to the letter constraints) but somehow that didn't seem right

Good luck continuing the theme tomorrow ...

This weeks theme is "fairground equipment", and it's decided by a public vote on MumsNet.

Could you explain the solution?
|

The theme follows on from yesterday's answer of "Village". A hamlet is a small settlement (not much smaller than a village) which fits in with the theme.
Hamlet is also the name of a Shakespeare play, which is well know (by all those that know it well) for featuring a ghost.
Remember, these themed clues don't always follow the traditional rules of containing a definition of the answer. It is assumed that we already know the theme in advance.

Oh, I knew the theme and knew there was a Play named Hamlet by Shakespeare, I just never read it and didn't know it had a ghost in it. Hence the confusion.
Thanks for the clarification.

I made a suggestion to OG that maybe we return to the old CCC and maybe do a themed one once in a while

I'm not that "pro-themes" either, but ... the majority vote rules here!

They were fun, but the ideas seem to be getting a bit too specific last couple weeks.
But then again, the original method just had me looking for random words that I could turn into a clue. So it's nice having a theme for inspiration.
I guess I am saying they both have pros and cons, and I'm not that fussed if we theme it or otherwise. The fence is well and truly sat on!

Yesterday I had to fight Hammerlocked!
(Eden-6 main mission boss fight)
What an epic fight and epic bugger!
First you bring down his humongous armour and health down (takes a while, was running out of rifle ammo)...
And then he was almost down...
And then he turned into raging warden, regenerating his full health!
What the heck?!
And then he was almost down....
And then he did it again, turning into a super raging warden, and regenerating his full health!
And then he was almost down....
And then he did it again! Turning into mega raging warden, regenerating his full health!
And then he was almost down.... please for good...
But nope, he does it again, turned into an ultimate warden! regenerating his full health!
Alright, ultimate, gunning him down...
And then he does it yet again, turning into godly warden, regenerating his full health!
And then, should be good, right?
Yeah! The warden is finally dead! 
Special thanks to my trusty old Torque (rocket) gun, 140 damage a shot! 700 ammos!

Apparently,
The Atari 2600 is considered archaeological material now. This was an very interesting read. They supposedly found a never before documented algorithm inside the dissassembled ROM. They tracked down the engineering team and this is what was said:
The basic maze generating routine had been partially written by a stoner who had left. I contacted him to try and understand what the maze generating algorithm did. He told me it came upon him when he was drunk and whacked out of his brain, he coded it up in assembly overnight before he passed out, but now could not for the life of him remember how the algorithm worked.
I took a look (The algorithm is at the bottom of the paper) and it looks very similar to a simple Moore[^] or von Neumann[^] neighborhood.

As someone who (still) works with WinForms, I was interested to read:Quote: The Windows Forms designer is still in preview, and available as a separate download. It will be added to Visual Studio as part of a later release. The designer currently includes support for the most commonly used controls and low-level functionality. We’ll keep improving the designer with monthly updates. We don’t recommend porting your Windows Forms applications to .NET Core just yet, particularly if you rely on the designer. Please do experiment with the designer preview, and give us feedback.
You can also create and build desktop applications from the command line using the .NET CLI.
