Be Aggressive....

SPOILER ALERT!
I just came back from watching Jumanji : The Next Level.... And... And... yes, good film, the wife and I like them, but I was very ... LIKE VERY... surprised to hear a reference to "Be Aggressive"...

A song from Faith No More's 1992 album "Angel Dust", an album I not only own but own two copies of in different formats, but it's a family film...  In case you missed it, the song is about oral sex, rough oral sex.

So a family film, and the character who made the reference is like what 18, 20 at most, and I can't for the life out of me figure out the pop-culture link from 1992 to that characters mind even via an older script writers pen.

Its gnawing at me (no pun intended) like some ungodly experiment in Kevin Bacon's six degrees of separation.


I just hope that it's not some cheer leader chant the parents are snickering about making their cherub kids sing about from the side lines.

C++ Programming : SDL2 Graphics Rendering Loop

Today, it's a bit of a programming ramble, I'm literally throwing this code together, from memory and the docs... What does it do?

Well, I set up an SDL2 based graphics project.  Added font loading and set up the compilation environment and get something updating on screen, at the end there's then a second short video debugging a flickering... or if not properly fixing it, I at least start to pull the thread as to what is going wrong.

You can find the final code here: https://github.com/Xelous/Frog
