Brainfold

Since I have the job interview on Thursday, I decided to brush up my rusty C++ skills and make a quick work sample while at it, as I haven’t really worked with the language since about 2004. The position I’m applying for is UI programmer, so I made a simple but relatively flexible “game style” menu system. At first, I had to look up lots of things in documentation, but at least I knew what to look for, and overall it went surprisingly smoothly. I spent about two evenings on it, so don’t expect anything polished.

If you want to check out the demo and some old stuff of mine, see http://www.brainfold.org/portfolio/. I’m releasing the code in public domain, but check copyright.txt for the font copyright. Apart from the demo, my time has been spent preparing for the move to Helsinki on Wednesday, so again, don’t expect any real updates for at least a week or two.
