The Friday would not be complete without the new edition of the Friday Facts: http://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-18

This is one of the things I look forward to when I get out of bed Saturday mornings!

I like the pic.

Very nice!

Always interesting to see how a game I am playing is constructed, gives me ideas for my own programs. I am guessing that factorio is made in C++, just because of the multiple inheritance at the end?

Yes, Factorio is written in C++.

True Factorio is written in C++ but class inheritance is not specific C++ only. Class inheritance is used in all Object Oriented languages (C++, C#, Java, Pearl, Phyton, Ruby, PHP, Objective Pascal and several more).

But multiple inheritance (having more classes as parent) is not in all OOLs. For example, C#, Java and Ruby have only single inheritance (that is what wiki said anyway, I can personally confirm it to be true for C#)

Interfaces ?

Interfaces and multiple inheritance are conceptually completely different things. You sort-of, kind-of can code an interface-based thingy and call it "multiple inheritance" and it might even behave somewhat like that (with a ton of extra effort) but it's far from it and it lacks all of the goodies that multiple inheritance has over pure interfaces

I know inheritance is used in all OOP languages but C++ is one of the major languages that uses multiple inheritance.

Also this thread really expanded quickly XD

Any chance that we will be surprised tomorrow by the release of 0.9?
Because personally I'm really excited about the new oil industry and all the possible receipts the oil will allow (And as we are alpha testers, feel free to use me/us ^^)

A release is never late, nor is it early! It arrives precisely when it is ready!
