Haha why is housekeeping logged too?

housekeeping:"

Ykkrosh:

That's not literal 'housekeeping' as in dusting the floor and vacuuming the walls or whatever people do around their homes - it's just tidying up the game's code for cleanliness and consistency . (The full log has more technical details as to exactly what was changed, but the publicly-visible version just has that summarised description.)

Thanks for answering this, Philip.

Does Jan comment on the code that he coded as well? With the double-back slash, so that other members of the programming department can understand what it is that he coded? (I'm sure what you know what I mean with the double-back slash, right Ykkrosh? :) ) I did a few months worth of C++ though I never really understood it, nor got passed doing simple "Hello World" programs. :P;)

They're forward slashes. And commenting is more-or-less a given. Housekeeping can possibly include better comments, but completely uncommented code kind of gets out of hand quickly with anything remotely complex.
