As far as reviewing C++ code is concerned I can confirm that ChatGPT 5.2 is superior to Grok 4: whilst Grok massages your ego ChatGPT actually finds bugs in your code. #cpp #coding #gamedev #compsci #AI #ChatGPT #Grok

There will be a cut down version of video poker as a neoGFX open source demo app and a closed source variant (Neon Jacks Video Poker) with (meta-)progression / scoring: there will be the concept of lives and gem collecting; you will lose a life if you lose all your gems.

I think I am going to add a score and high score to my video poker game; score will be independent of stake / bet winnings. High score will be saved to disk.
