Thanks. This was definitely the hardest project I've worked on in my life. I fear I may have shaved a few years off my life with all of the all-nighters I pulled with this, so it's good to hear recognition for the work. :)
- b20000 5y agocongrats on your hard work. why did you choose C89 instead of writing this in C++11 or 17? just curious, no criticism.
- spuz 5y agoVery impressive work. Was there a deadline that you were trying to meet? What was the reason for the all-nighters?
- chjj 5y agoNo deadline. I just have a tendency towards obsession when I'm working on a project I'm very interested in. I tend to get into a kind of manic phase where I can't sleep even if I wanted to. There's no real telling when that phase will end. So I end up coding for an unhealthy amount of time. I don't recommend it to anyone.
- HappySweeney 5y agoI have the same thing, self-diagnosed as monomania. I had to train myself to stop thinking about my obsession when not at it, and the condition eventually subsided enough that it doesn't completely screw up my life anymore. nb: looking it up on wikipedia, it seems that monomania was a 19th century psychiatric diagnosis, and is no longer considered a real condition.
- johnnyApplePRNG 5y agoWhen you really love working on something, sometimes you just can't sleep. It's the most productive you can ever be imho.
- bertr4nd 5y agoTruly an amazing output! Did you really do all this in 2.5 months? Seems I need to dramatically up my coding game!
