Re: Programming tricks (and former trade secrets)

this year we used 2 SVN servers to keep track of all of our code, and changes. One was for the inexperienced programmers, so that they could learn, and the other was for the final versions of the code (code that would always compile, instead of having to track down all the convention mistakes and what not). Helped so that more than 1 person could work on the code at once, and allowed for much faster programming.
Also, for 868's state machine, we had multiple people write their own version, so that we could easily take the best of them. (points to meatmanek for winning out)
