I haven't used QT Creator. Does it have many refactorings like Rename function, Extract function, etc? I'd suggest you watch this video to see if it would be beneficial to you : http://blog.jetbrains.com/clion&#x2F

It's like a parody of Apple product videos - "and we like to call it, the iCup!"

If anyone gets the chance - have a go at the board game - it's brilliant! (Also make sure to play it with the Advanced Civilization supplement). For a game that can take 8 hours, it's surprisingly easy to learn. The way the game i
