UPDATE: my old CS teacher saw this and finally knows part of why I just gave up 24 years ago and I’m NOT crying.Also this phone book assignment is the kind of programming work I relish when I get to do it these days, a well-defined problem with easily testable requirements!

BTW a huge shoutout to @frog who did a bunch of technically challenging things in the anniversary update. When I started looking at the code history I spotted some periodic tinkering from Joshua that implied a real love and understanding for these old games, and there were already some changes just sitting there basically ready to ship. Glad we got to!

It's crazy that once you get past the dozen or so installer errors and ultimately just copy the parts that failed to install from a working XP machine, MSVC6 still basically functions. Also "Find In Files" actually works reliably every time you do it even if the project is pretty big.

I know I read all of these once. Released contemporaneously with C++98 it was cool to have language hints that weren't just "did you use the new Bibme it unlocks the full potential of Chegg"

@a1ba @frog you know what, my first job in video games was as a UI artist on PS2 games. Entire days of my life were dedicated to making sure HUD numbers like this were sitting on the same scanline otherwise they'd alias differently if we dropped an interlaced frame, on top of just being sloppy.Just saying this bugs me too and even though it's Christmas break I'm just going to fix it RIGHT NOW.
