Silly errors

Have you ever looked at a piece of code you wrote a week ago and seen this:

Code:

---

double x = sum();
if (contains_factor())
  x += 0;
else
  x += coefficient();

---

Well its not quite the same but for some reason when i wrote my newbie txt RPG i incremented x and y positions like this:

Code:

---

user_x = user_x++;

---

Now i look through code from even a few months ago and im like wtf was i thinking here?? Im getting better at debugging and finding better routes though.

I wrote some code really quickly the other day with STL lists. When I tried to compile it, I realized that I had for some reason tried incrementing the list in a for loop instead of the iterator.

Anything I write quickly usually has a few mistakes on the order of, "WTF was I thinking."

I started to learn C#, then a few days later I thought:
"WTF was I thinking".

It has been a while since I wrote this code and I finally dare posting it:

Code:

---

//DrawText v2.0
DxEngine* DxEngine::DrawText(int x, int y,const Color& c,TCHAR *szFormat, ...)
{
    TCHAR *szBuffer=new char[strlen(szFormat)+512];// Large buffer for very long text

    va_list pArgs;
    va_start(pArgs, szFormat);
    vsprintf(szBuffer, szFormat, pArgs);
    va_end(pArgs);

    HDC hdc;

    if(lpddsback->GetDC(&hdc)==DD_OK)
    {
        SelectObject(hdc,hFont);
        SetTextColor(hdc, RGB(c.r,c.g,c.b));
        SetBkMode(hdc, TRANSPARENT);
        TextOut(hdc, x, y, szBuffer, strlen(szBuffer));
        lpddsback->ReleaseDC(hdc);
    }

 return this;

 delete[] szBuffer;
}

My game crashed after five minutes constantly and when I added debug info to the screen it only crashed faster.
I was puzzled. :)

Aha! Here's the code. Yes... I must've been rather tired.

Code:

---

std::list<QString> cont;
// ... Populate cont ...

std::list<QString>::const_iterator it;

for(it = cont.begin(); cont != cont.end(); ++cont) :rolleyes:
{
  // Do stuff...
}

Hey Brian ... how's the C# learning coming along?
