Technological people can program in different languages and can use any sort of software available. Technology is effective against science and is weak to English.

Moves

Effect

Implement APIs

Implementing APIs are generally easy except when they make no sense, the documentation is for a language that you are not using and you are trying to cram it in before submissions are due on Devpost

Description: I hope I don't run out of API calls during the demo.

Effect

  • Doubles the speed of the user
  • PP: 8

Intelligence

Deoptimize Code

When you try to make a program, it's common sense to seek out help if you don't completely understand what you're doing. Usually, it's best to look at someone else's code to understand the situation. When you copy the code in your own style, you end up creating garbage. Realizing that you have something better to do than make a car find a gas station in Java, you just steal code but alter it a little bit.

Description: Running inefficient stolen code is okay if your professor does not care about how fast your program is.

Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow is the website, along with Google, that has been able to keep programmers employed for decades. Stack Overflow originates from the the term "Stack buffer overflow", which occurs when a program writes to memory on a call stack outside the intended data structure. This error usually occurs when a recursive program does not terminate.

Description: Stack Overflow is the only website you need to land yourself a programming job. Frustrates teachers.

Steal Code

When you need help with an algorithm, it would make the most sense to ask for help. However, in the quest to attend the best schools, students find themselves on a crunch for time. Therefore, it is imperative to beg their friends for their code to "look" at it. In the end, the student knows that they're going to end up stealing the methods to navigate the city.

Description: Programming is hard. Stealing? Not so much.
