This is hello world code snippet in C++

<code>#include &lt;iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
	cout &lt;&lt; "Hello cruel world" &lt;&lt; endl;
	return 0;
}</code>

I just started working with Node JS and the ESM Standard with the import statement. I got the repeated error SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module. I searched the internet and this is the closest I came with finding information regarding modules.

Put the following in b.js. It has the value we want to export

<code>export const myValue = 42;</code>

Put this in a.js. It will import the value from b.js

<code>import { myValue } from './b.js';
console.log('The value of b is:', myValue); // use imports</code>

To make all this work, we need to create a package.json file, so that it will allow the import.

<code>{
  "name": "my-package",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "type": "module"
}</code>

Now run it.

<code>$ node a.js</code>

Output should look like this

<code>The value of b is: 42</code>

I have been riding the following single speed bike.

I have been working on redeveloping Bill Kendrick’s Madbomber game so that it runs on Android. Bill originally wrote Madbomber back in 1999 in SDL1. When I bought the Android Nexus 7 tablet, I thought that it would be a good platform for running madbomber as it has become a popular game platform. SDL2 now supports Android, so I have been rewriting it for SDL2. I also made the source so that it uses autoconf, so that it will check for proper libraries. I haven’t done a full release of the Android version of the game, but once I do the release of the Android game, I will publish the source for the Android. It’s actually the same source, put you just have to put into the Android build framework. Check out Madbomber2 sources.

I updated the Raffle application so that the winner can choose his prize. I need to get this on Git. In the meantime, check the source here. It still has it so that you can pick a prize and then a random winner.

Willow Schlanger and I participated in the Cereal Hack this last weekend. We built a Raffle application. We both worked in parallel. Willow built a version in PHP and I did mine in Java. Willow’s app was the most functional in the time for our 3 minute presentation. We didn’t win any awards, but our presentation went well. I continued to work on my Java version. You can download my Java version at the following link:

raffle08.zip is the version at the time of this writing.

I hope to put a link to Willow’s code soon.
