SpiralFlex who are you?

Ohh i was looking at p158. Yeah there's a bug in this one. Sneaky though.

For others: say start=1, finish=2, and the word we're searching for is at index 2. midpt = (1+2)/2 = 1. DictionaryWord becomes the 1st record in the file, which is not our word. so start = mid+1=2. Now start=finish=2, so the search terminates, and our word was not found even though it's in the dictionary.

Yes I Googled your name at your first post :p
You googled GoldyOrNugget and found me? That's weird... I guess you could go through my reddit account, then go wayyy back through my posts, and find a link to my blog which has my name on it, but I doubt you did all that.

No no no, I actually saw a link between your surname and "Goldy". I had to be sure so I looked at which sections you were posting.

Yes John uses the forum from time to time and we suspect Fus is J.K. Tim Large from last year also used the forum.

Back to SDD talk.
Goldy is developing a new fish game, COD7. He's a smart programmer, but has only a home PC to use to code, along with a few homies. What is an appropriate software development approach?

Too vague I reckon. What sort of game is it? Who's gonna play it?
