pointers are just memory references, in most cases theyre smaller than the actual object and its more efficient to pass in the pointer to a function rather than the object itself
its also alot cooler to use '->' instead of '.'  

I know how pointers work. It just appears to me that they are unnecessary in the instances I pointed out in your code, so I was wondering if there was a good reason.

going in the path of chrisbot, atm thinking of a scripting language, suggestions?
current candidate is lua, was thinking of angelscript because its awesome but the implementation in c++ is very difficult

Is there any particular reason why you're using a pointer for your MBread instance, or why you're using a pointer rather than a reference to pass the window into your draw function? I happen to also be playing with SFML and C++ alot right now.

Would you rather drink a bottle of embalming fluid, or snort a whole shaker of salt?

In my own personal opinion, there can never be a flawless government because mankind is corruptible. No matter how the system is set up, there will always be someone who is power hungry who manages to assume a position in the government and abuses their position for their own personal gain.

If the poles reverse It woldn' do much. It happens roughly every 4000 years.

Could screw with electronic devices. It hasn't happened since before humans harnessed electricity, so that could be interesting.

Thought you might like to know you misspelled Roguelike as Rougelike in all of its instances in the spreadsheet.

HTML5 is just a programming language, not a GDK or something like that. I'm not familiar with studio; couldn't find on Google either.

It's too bad none of you can djent yourselves. I, however, have been producing some djent on my AmpKIT sound modeler. Some pretty awesome shot goin on in thar. And I have a seven string. :3

False; I can. Although all I currently have is a 6-string tuned to my own drop c#/drop b hybrid: B F# B F# A# D#, which nearly gives it the range of a 7-string.

 Also, Red Seas Fire is probably my favorite djent band now, and their album is available FREE OF CHARGE on their website
