# Project Hearts version 1.0, 22nd June 2011
#### Introduction
This project is over 1 1/2 years old, so it doesn't reflect my current programming skills. Regardless, it's a pretty good demonstration of my development. From the KAGE engine, you can see what my thought processes at the time were, and you can probably guess that this evolved into my [Codebase](https://github.com/Ratstail91/Codebase). This has a sound system, and some aspects are different, but it's not a terrible start. Ive also included all of the unused modules including NetworkManager, which arent used here, but are simply part of KAGE.
I'd say that my biggest problem when I was learning was my overreliance on inheritance. You can see this from Card being descended from Image, a common habit in my old code. Also, the presence of NamedManager, which was essentially a wrapper for std::map, and was used to create several different Manager classes isnt something Id do today.
Finally, my biggest mistake I believe, was that I made the KAGE engine closed source. This is a bad idea, since having code visible shows off what you can do. Whether its to a potential employer, or to someone critiquing your code, its always a good idea to show what you can do. Thats exactly why Im uploading this old project. Maybe if I had someone to guide me on the engines design at the time, Id have a radically different Codebase and coding style today.
I dont consider this project complete, since its still missing a score display and a card passing button, but the scores are shown in the console window (stdout) and the F1 button compensates for a lack of graphical buttons. Id like to remake this, using the existing game logic to rely on my current Codebase version. If I do, Ill release the modified version under the zlib license.
