@DataInforms @jhngrant @swardley If a lazer touches a shield then it causes a huge explosion. So they tend not to use lasers much.

It's ok if you started programming at 8. It's ok if you started programming at 38. You can still get out. Run. x.com/maria_fibonacc…

@supahvee1234 The complexity in some of the replies here, are a perfect illustration of why I have fallen out of love with C++ in recent years. If this was someone else's code in a code review I would say leave it as is. If I wanted to clean up my own code I think the below is more readable:
