"Another World" (game) Code Review
I spent two weeks reading and reverse engineering further the source code of Another World ("Out Of This World" in North America). I based my work on Gregory Montoir's "binary to C++" initial reverse engineering from the DOS executable. I was amazed to discover an elegant system based on a virtual machine interpreting…

How can C Programs be so Reliable?
C is, today, a unique programming language. Surprisingly few people can really program in C and yet many of us have quite strong opinions about it.

10000 things all CS students should do before graduating
It’s Commencement time! So I thought I’d compile a list of 1010 10000 things I believe all ICS students should have done (by themselves) by the time they get their diplomas.
