Hi All, I'm going down on Wednesday. I thought a mass meetup would be good, Could we all 'do lunch' or something (that isn't how it probably sounds - <cringes>). A good chance to compare freebies and get some suggestions of stands to visit and that sort of thing. Have set out below a functional C++ code framework. Feel Free to edit to include yourself ... I have commented where to do this, a simple copy and paste replacing details with your own should suffice

typedef struct _food { ong Baguette; short Coffee; void eat() { Baguette --; //poss result in -ve value of one item, relies on sense of alugite to avoid consuming self or food container Coffee --; } //a boolean to tell if there is still Food bool operator == (bool){ return (Baguette || Coffee);} }FoodType;

//some externals for buying lunch extern long buycoffee(); extern long buysarnie();

class MeetUp { private : FoodType* food; protected : public : MeetUp():food(new FoodType()) {} long lunch() { food.coffee = buycoffee(); food.Baguette = buysarmie(); long Time(0); while(food == true) { food->eat(); Time++; } return Time; } };

//singleton alug member (only one instance of each - thankfully) template <const string N, const int max_goodies> class Alugite{ private : static Alugite* INSTANCE; string name; bool satisfied; std::list<string> goodies; MeetUp* Meet; //private constr ... well you wouldn't want it to be public now Alugite():name(N),Meet(new MeetUp()), satisfied(false), goodies(){}

void GetGoodies () { cin >> goodies;}

void ShowGoodies() { cout << goodies << endl; }

public : static Alugite* GetInstance(){return INSTANCE = (NULL ? new Alugite() : INSTANCE);} void mingle() { while (!satisfied) { GetGoodies(); satisfied = (goodies.size() >= max_goodies); //finish when we can't carry any more } } void DoMeet() { Meet->lunch(); ShowGoodies(); //generate envy satisfied = false; //reset satisfied for afternoon session } };
