Debian Games

February 14, 2006

Here's some command line magic to install lots of games on your Debian box:

yes | \
  for x in `apt-cache search game \
      | sort \
      | awk 'BEGIN { FS = " - " } { print $1 }'`; do \
    apt-get install $x; \
  done

Book Recommendation:

The C++ Programming Language is the defacto-standard for C++. Written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, this book presents the full specification for the C++ language and standard library, a spec that will soon become the joint ISO/ANSI C++ standard. This is not really a C++ language tutorial but instead provides a clear presentation of all its elements. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this book for anyone who is serious about using C++. This book is in no way thin on material for the intermediate to advanced C++ software engineer.
