Maybe you could write a scene trying to express the quilted pattern in SDL as a
function?
Sometimes it's a bit difficult to translate the somewhat cryptic C++ syntax into
something intelligible.
Then at least you could have a few people play with the function and have more
eyes and minds analyzing how it all works, and where it goes wrong.
Including a note or two about how to translate the C++ to SDL (if possible)
would help future efforts, and people could begin to play with more of the
source code and patterns. I have found this approach to be personally
educational, developmentally useful (how many "bugs" have we found?), and it
inspires me to invent new derivative functions and patterns.
