Learn some grammar.

HUD is an acronym for Heads-Up Display.

Acronyms are to be in all uppercase according to the rules and regulations of English.

So your CHud class is invalid.



From Dictionary.com
quote:

acronym:
A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women''s Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as radar for radio detecting and ranging.



I''ve never seen radar written with all caps.

Trying is the first step towards failure.

The only problem with your blatant stupidity is that you proved nothing.

WAC incorporates all words Women''s Army Corps. Radar does not, its a contraction of all the words, cutting off letters as you go, this is why its not all capitalized.

MADD = Mother''s Against Drunk Driving
YMCA = Young Man''s Christian Association

You see how that works?
