Excerpt from: Dangers of Lawndale High

Lawndale

It was quiet outside Lawndale High School, as it had been over the Summer Holidays. Claire Defoe smiled as she got out of her car. She wasn't sure why she had taken a job at this school. All of her practicals had been in suburb of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. Still, she she was graceful for her offer, given that there had hardly been others.

Doctor Who 11.08 'The Witchfinders' review

Doctor Who 11.08 'The Witchfinders' review

The eighth episode of Series 11. Team TARDIS lands in early 17^th Century Lancashire, where they find a village where Witch Trials are taking place. But there is a lot more going on than there first appear. A landowner who has 'duncked' 36 people, and King James VI/I. And for the first time, the Doctor is really up against sexism. The Doctor insisting on non-interference is consistent, but she quickly finds that something is wrong. Something is causing the witch hunt to be out of proportion for the time.

The Doctor trying to save Willa's (and Becka's) grandmother after the 'dunking' was very good, and consistent with her character. She is more compassionate than her previous selves. (Some of her previous selves would have done it also, but others would have left it up to their companions to do so.) The use of the psychic paper, to pass off Team TARDIS as witchfinders, was also a good choice. But King James would come in and ruin that idea. (Are you forgetting your immediate predecessor, as Monarch of England, James?)

However, His Majesty's characterisation is well set up in these introductory scenes. It certainly matches what I knew about the real King James. This is where the sexism comes in. The Doctor is put off by having to put Graham in charge as Chief Witchfinder. The various investigations that ensue from this encounter are handled rather well. Especially where Yas tries to encourage Willa to overcome her anxiety (by telling her about an experience with a bully). These disparate plots all lead to the revelation of the Morax...

That Bekka was the one who released them from their prison was a surprise, but the set up through the episode was well done. It didn't come out of thin air. The Doctor confronting Bekka about it was quite effective, and her escape from her 'dunking' was very Doctor-ish (including the lesson from Houdini during that very wet weekend). The explanation of the Morax and the role of the tree, was rather effective, as was the method of combating them. It was a very effective way to conclude the story.

The Doctor quoting Clarke's Third Law was a very good ending to the episode. 8.25/10.

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

“Code Sequence confirmed. Command of USS Ionia NCC 84401 is transferred to Emergency Engineering Hologram Alpha.”

Alpha was conflicted. She either had no time, or all the time in the world. She decided to indulge herself and sat in the command chair. She had repaired the viewscreen earlier, but she wasn't sure that the external sensors were working. All she could see through the window was the night sky. “Forward view,” she commanded.

“Affirmative,” the computer responded. The screen then showed a forest at night time.

“A forest,” she considered. But exploration would have to wait. The ship still needed repairs.

myMap[“Hero”] = 1;

Q3
   → myDeck.shuffle();

Implementing Classes
A single card can be representing in a single struct.

Struct card {
   int suitOrder;
   int valueOrder;
   std::string suitDisplay;
   std::string valueOrder;
};

One way to set up a pack of cards

// Initialise the pack of cards
std::vector <std::string> suit{ “club”, “diamond”, “heart”, “spade” };
std::map<std::string, int> suitOrder;
for (auto i = 0; i != suit.size(); i++;) {
   suitOrder[suit[i]] = i + 1;
}
std::vector<std::string> value{“2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “J”, “Q”, “K”, A”};
std::map<std::string, int> valueOrder;
for (auto i = 0; i != value.size(); ++i) {
   valueOrder [value[i]] = i + 1;
}

Then you can loop through it.

std::vector<card> packOfCards;
for (auto i = 0; i != value.size(); ++i) {
   for (auto j = 0; j != suit.size(); j++;) {
       packOfCards.push_back({suitOrder[suit[i]], value[i], suit[i], suit[i])});
   }
}

If done as above, if you want to change the order of suit or value, only the initial list need be manipulated.

Excerpt from: Daria: Mysteries of Lawndale – Night of the Coffee House

They watched the first video, pausing occasionally to allow Jane to sketch. (And sometimes rewinding, so she could catch something she may have missed earlier.)

“Looks like they were prepared,” Jane said, looking over her first set of sketches.

Excerpt from: Legacy of Winchester – Collaborative Timeline

Legacy of Winchester

There had always been weirdness, which science couldn't explain. It was thought that it had disappeared in the early 20th Century, but it wasn't so. Little did anyone know, that an action by a bullied American teenager was going to change everything...

September 18th, 1958:
Winchester Tragedy. A young witch named Laura Neverton, after taunting by bullies, releases a massive burst of magical energy. The resulting explosion destroys half of Winchester High School (Winchester, Maryland), causing massive casualties (up to 100 dead). Laura herself survives, and flees the town in terror. The area around the school (up to four blocks away) is affected by the release of energy, creating strangeness that would be noted by nightfall.

Excerpt from: The Engineer and the Time Lady

The Mark 9 EMH, resembling a young female Vulcan appeared. “Please state the nature of the medical emergency.”

“Not an emergency,” Alpha said. “The Starship Preservation Protocol has been activated.”

“Emergency Engineering Hologram Alpha?” the EMH asked.

“Yes,” Alpha answered.

“Of course.”

“I have brought remains from the Bridge to sickbay.”

“I shall scan them,” the EMH said.

“Confirmed,” the EMH stated. “The remains are of Commander Theodore James Emerson.”

Alpha took the PADD from the EMH. “But then, that wasn't in doubt.”

“You know what to do,” the EMH said.

“I just wanted to repair the ship,” Alpha groused as she left the sickbay through the starboard door, towards the Bridge.

The EMH sighed. “Computer, deactivate EMH.”

Alpha entered the Bridge and placed the PADD on the command console. “Deceased status of Commander Theodore James Emerson confirmed.”

“Confirmed,” Alpha said. She input a sequence of numbers on the command console.

GameItem takeItem(int slotNumber)

   return slot1;

GameItem Inventory::takeItem (int slotNumber)

How to check if the slot is taken.

…

public:
   Inventory();
   ~Inventory();
   void putItem (int, gameItem);
   GameItem takeItem(int);
   bool isEmptySlot;

bool Inventory::isEmptySlot (int, slotNumber) {
   if (slotNumber == 1) {
       slot1
       return;

   int itemAmount;
   bool bIsEmpty { true };
public:
   GameItem();
   ~GameItem();
   void setItemType(int);
   string getItemType();
   bool isEmpty();
};

…
GameItem myWeapon;

…
GameItem.cppp

bIsEmpty = false;
   switch (ItemTypeNumber) {

string GameItem::getItemType() {
   return ItemType;

bool GameItem::isEmpty() {
   return bIsEmpty;
}

Inventory.cpp
bool Inventory::isEmptySlot (int slotNumber) {
   bool bEmpty { false };
   if (slotNumber == 1) {
       bEmpty = slot1, isEmpty())
   }
   return bEmpty;
}

C++ Primer – Chapter 3

New Project – stringExperiment

int main() {
   string firstString;

   return 0;
}

string from C++ Standard Library
–   not the string from C

using std::string
using std::cout

int main() {
   string firstString; // default initialisation

   cout << firstString

   system(“pause”)
   return 0;
}

String can be seen as characters

<code>

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using std::string;
using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main() {
   string firstString; // default initialisation
   string secondString { “This is a string” };
   string thirdString [10, '#'];

   cout << firstString << endl;
   cout << secondString << endl;
   cout << thirdString << endl;

   cin >> firstString;
   while (std::getline(cin, firstString)) {
       if (firstString = “exit”) break;
       if (!firstString.empty()) {
           cout << firstString << endl;
           for (auto c: firstString ) {
               // cout << c << “ ” << endl;
               c = toupper(c);
               cout << c;
           }

           cout << “Command ”;
       }

           cout << firstString << endl;
       cout << “Command: “;
   }

   system(“pause”);
   return 0;
}
</code>

Size of string
(below for loop)

cout << endl;
cout << firstString.size() << endl;

Vector

New Project – Vector experiment

Not a type.
–   It's a class template.

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using std::vector;

int main () {
   return 0;
}

Not a type
We need to supply a type.

Int main () {
   vector <int> first vector:

   return 0;
}

firstVector → Nothing, it's pointing to nothing.

Vector <int> firstVector;
firstVector.push_back(10);

The integer is pushed to the back of the vector

firstVector.push_back(10);
firstVector.push_back(5);

using std::vector
using std::cout
using std::endl;

int main() {
   vector <int> firstVector;
   firstVector.push_back(10)
   firstVector.push_back(5);

   cout << firstVector[0] << endl;

   return 0;
}

cout << firstVector[0] << endl;

for (auto anInt; firstVector) {
   cout << anInt << endl;
}

Vector – one of the most efficient tools in C++

(for loop)

vector <int> slotAmount { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

More ways to initialise vector

vector <int> slotAmount { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 0 }'
vector <int> slotAmount2 (8, 0);

cout << slotAmount, size() << endl;

…
Reopen GameItem

Inventory.h

#define INVENTORY_H
#include <vector>
#include “GameItem.h”

class Inventory() {
   std::vector <GameItem> slotItem;

}

Inventory.cpp

Inventory::Inventory()
{
   GameItem anItem;
   slotItem.push_back(anItem);
}

…
for loop
GameItem anItem;
for (auto i = 0; i != 0; i++)
   slot.push_back(anItem);
…

// put an item into a slot
// slot number from 1 – 7
void Inventory::putItem(int slotNumber, GameItem) {
   slotItem[slotNumber] = theItem;
}

bool Inventory::isEmptySlot(int slotNumber) {
   return slotItem[slotNumber].isEmpty();
}

main.cpp

#include “hero.h”
#include “Inventory.h”

int main() {
   Inventory myInventory();
   return 0;
}

myInventory.putItem(0, anItem);

Inventory.cpp

#include <iostream>

voidInventory::putItem(int slotNumber, GameItem) {
   std::cout << “putting ”;
   std::cout << theItem.getItemType();
   std::cout << “ into slot ”;
   std::cout << slotNumber”
   std::cout << std::endl;
   slotItem[slotNumber] = theItem;

Should be commented out in production version.

Main.cpp

anItem.getItemType(2);
myInventory.putItem(1, anItem);

Excerpt from: Doctor Who: Changes in Time and Space

“Shakespeare...” she considered.

“Will, there is someone to see you.”

“Send her in,” Will said.

A young woman entered. “Mr. Shakespeare?”

“No, you can't have an autograph!”

“It's not that,” the young woman said. “I'm here to ask about Love's Labours Won.”

“Whatever you have heard, it's been exaggerated.”

“And not just about the play, but the man who tried to stop it being performed.”

Will paused. “No.”

“No?”

“Not yet,” Will said.

“I can wait,” the woman said, with a look of anxiety on her face.

“I'll finish this scene, then I'll answer your questions.”
