The C++17 map is here and it feels like a new map. That's because it's new.

The previous one was made 5 years ago and it looks ancient now. So here is the new one, which is up-to-date with the most recent Holy Standard changes.

We redid most of the graphics, but we kept the same unique style. So we have a proper license now. And soon we will have posters everyone was asking for. And we have posters everyone was asking for.

The most common asks:

Can I use it in my slides, partially or as a whole?
Yes, you can!

Can I use it to teach my students?
Yes, you can!

Can I print it and put hang it by desk or in a public place?
Yes, you can!

Can I get sources?
No.

But you cannot sell it for profit and claim you've made it. Sounds fair?

Previous versions:
The C++11 Lands
The C++ Lands. With sources.

The C++11 Lands

Updated 3/9/2017: The C++17 Lands map is here, which is up-to-date with the most recent Holy Standard changes.

A lot has happened in the C++ lands recently. Our old map has become outdated. During the New Year holidays me and my friend Jim added some new stuff to the map. Well, he is the artist, so he actually added everything. We have a New Standard War now, old territories are significantly improved.

Here is the new version! ~13Mb.



JPEG version, which is smaller

People were very creative and found some interesting ways to use the previous version of the map besides "print it and put on a wall". A German university uses it to teach students C++. The map was used on conferences. A small Russian store selling knifes used it in an advertisement.
We don't mind, you can do whatever you want with it. But remember that some of the elements of the map were taken by Jim from internets and we don't own copyrights on them.

P.S. sources will be published soon

IBM computer plays Jeopardy

Quantum computing, by Suzanne Gildert

An introductory lecture about quantum computing by a physicist from D-Wave.



It's an one hour talk, followed by questions (about an hour too).

D-Wave has promised a lot a couple of years ago, but delivered nothing. Right now they collaborate with Google on quantum image search.

Robocalypse - Beaver Defense is out

Updated 07.06.2010
Nintendo Life 8/10
This is a fun tower defence game with enough unique features and strategic elements to keep it interesting and a sense of humour to set it apart from its competitors. While it suffers presentation-wise, don't let that throw you off as for those who enjoy the genre, this one's a must-have.

IGN 7/10
The silly style's still the same, but this is a whole different kind of Robocalypse.

---

Robocalypse - Beaver Defense is out! I was the lead programmer on this project and also did some management. It's a "tower defense" style game for Nintendo WiiWare.

"Set in a world of wise-cracking, battling robots, Robocalypse - Beaver Defense offers madcap weaponry and uproarious destruction in a “tower defense” style game. Players create and strategically position towers to annihilate waves of enemy robots, while player-controlled Hero robots act as mobile weapons units, bringing heavy firepower to all areas of the battlefield. Players can experience the hilarious Story Mode or face the Beaver's never-ending supply of robots in Survival Mode."
