Damage calculator

I think Microsoft made some very good tools in their heyday. But, most every software I've seen from them since around the time of Vista, has been a step in the wrong direction.

That's pretty much true of all Microsoft software. However their C++ developer tools are used by Microsoft to develop Windows. For the longest time nothing was even close. But free software is catching up. But still there is nothing that can match the muscle of Microsoft's tools. If you don't use them development takes much longer. So it's best to do all of the real development on Windows and then do the porting work however you can. If not for MSVC Microsoft might be bankrupt. It's the tendency to develop first for Windows that probably keeps the company in good standing with the people who develop all of the software that makes Windows attractive.

Since you already have a hook in the damage process to display damage on screen, don't you already know where to inject you calculator without having to do a bunch of assembly tracing?

If only everything was that simple. No. You can just monitor the HP of things. If it goes down then they were damaged.
