Most programming languages do not let you use numbers as the first character in a variable name.
Gotta use an O or an I.

We had our programmer comment in a 150 word essay to someone that “messed” with his code. All the guy was trying to do was help after our programmer left. I’d post it here but there were too many expletives.

// fake central goal attempt
//do this and then zoom zoom
//make it rotate so it is facing beginny thingy then turn 0, or maybe not, no point of reference...
//whenever you aren't there go not there
so… sometimes i code at night and then leave comments in hopes that my daytime me understands my thought process
this method works a little under 50% of the time
