C++ Patterns

Repository of idiomatic C++ code patterns curated by the community.

I've been playing lots of puzzle games and putting my experiences on YouTube. Some favourites: The Witness, Stephen's Sausage Roll, Snakebird, Jelly no Puzzle, Baba Is You, Return of the Obra Dinn.
I enjoy puzzles in general. Adalogical Ænigmas are great.
I have a nice collection of board games.
I play acoustic guitar and piano (and have a few other instruments that I try to play).
I think free will cannot exist (hard incompatabilism) and that everything is physical and experiential (Strawsonian physicalism).
