For placeholders, I either return a neutral value or crash the application when they're called. I will also occasionally throw this in them:

Most of my comments fall into a few categories:

I'm pretty sure line counts aren't a competition and mostly just a headache due to me being unable to remember what everything does. If I could have everything in under 1,000 lines, I would.

Ridiculous that you'd pay that much for a few cups of tea, really. It doesn't cost that much to get a load of tea bags (or whatever form folks prefer - I just using bags of Twinings stuff).

Top-Down Shadow Hack

(Note: copy/pasted this from Google+ because nobody reads Google+ and I'd originally shared it privately.)
So I had this brilliant idea for doing 2D shadows in a topdown thing. While I was playing Teleglitch earlier, or the beta demo thing for OS X anyway*snip*

Well, yeah, the documentation mentions that. Plus it doesn't use the JVM, so it's not like it'd support 1.7 anyway.

Crazy idea
19th April 2013

No. If I wanted to read source code I'd do it in Xcode so I could jump between definitions and retain a history of said jumps and view callers and callees easily and so on. Books are not good for this. Books are only good at cached access (aka bookmarks).

I personally have no interest in the Ouya. It's bad phone hardware in a tiny box pretending to be a console, and it's doing a lousy job of hiding it since all the games are bad ports of Android phone games. The fact that they went with Android for the OS i*snip*
