My God, It’s Full Of Stars: Testing Point Mass Attraction with Catch2

Testing point mass attraction and its deduced dimensions with Catch2

Using Pointer to Members on STL Algorithms

Using pointer to members is sometimes a mighty feature of C++. In this post you see a way of how to use them in STL algorithms.

Think twice, cut once

Sometimes it seems to me that tools are getting too important. Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate those little helpers modern IDE’s and their plugins are offering. For example if they’re suggesting to me a method might be rather static instead of const. Or not all paths of a lengthy, chained and nested If […]

My God, It’s Full Of Stars: And then there was CMake

Welcome back at the 2nd part of the n-body-problem series. With the first post we had a short view on the equations of motion we need to calculate the position in space of a point mass. This time we need to conclude our equations and create a minimum project setup. I would like to use […]

Why I think of myself as a programmer instead of a C++ programmer

My mother tongue is german, but I also speak enough English to express myself. For me the difference between both languages is just who to speak to so whoever I speak with understands the […]
