Boring code

Every so often, I get bored of code. When this happens during competitions, I have to make it interesting. Last time this happened, I decided to add a dragon, COMP102 students and a worm hole. (I totally stole the idea for a dragon and COMP102 student from this, the wormhole came from the problem).

Here's an extract, cause the rest of the code is sadly lacking in amusingness.

#define eat push
#define hungry size
#define burn front
#define digest pop

...
	queue<coord> dragon;
...
		dragon.eat(c);
		while(dragon.hungry()) {
			c = dragon.burn();
			dragon.digest();
			...
				dragon.eat(comp102student);
			...
				dragon.eat(comp102student);
			...
				dragon.eat(comp102student);
			...
				dragon.eat(comp102student);
			...
				dragon.eat(white_hole);
			...
				dragon.eat(black_hole);
...

Yay for #defines and STL whoring :)
