"A reference is an alias, that is, another name for an already existing variable. A reference, like a pointer, is also implemented by storing the address of an object.
A reference can be thought of as a constant pointer (not to be confused with a pointer to a constant value!) with automatic indirection."

Quite impressive.
Always get a kick in the ass seeing the examples
while hardly obtaining my own.

Something I wanted for so long, untill my printer broke.
Not sure if it is legal what I'm doing here, as the object is copyrighted.
But it would be fun for a collection after a small polish in a paint editor.

I was wondering about a quake1 level I played over the years. It was called "Io" and was an absurdical large level of a spacecraft that tumbled down on the Mars moon. One had to collect several runes in a spherical astronomy lab.
I thought it was a map of mx or someone else but I can retrieve it only if I make a large jump in my archive.
Found It

after a large jump yes, it was called "TitanBeta5 / io" from MechTech and I'm surprised I can't find it on Quaddicted. Realy a top of the hat map, blew me sofar of my feet I would stop mapping.
:P

Large Helical Device

Ran into this while reading about fusion reactors. Everybody knows tokamaks, right? They're just toruses ie donuts. Many movies have used that shape.
Then there's the stellarator. Wendelstein-7-X is the most famous one, and it's somewhat twisty but still kind of like a Tokamak.
But when I saw the stellarator known as the Japanese Large Helical Device, I thought about the board immediately. It is bizarre.

Check out the video in the comments on how the excavators moved - they actually walked.
(I'm sure this is lifted from some actual source but it's a nice overview.)

"Top 100 3D Renders from the Internet's Largest CG Challenge"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKBs9l8jS6Q
It was a contest to create a 3D clip based on a simple animation as a starting point. These were the top entries. It's pretty cool, lots of neat sci fi and fantasy environments and characters on display.

A lot of those were pretty incredible. The toothpaste one had me cracking up. I loved the ones with enormous backgrounds and monsters. I wish that more games incorporated that sense of scale.
