Hello,

I find myself travelling more and more, and imo nothing breaks up a 2 hour train ride up more thanddesigning code that needs to be implemented. That and it can often be more stretching than a crossword or sudoku.

Do you guys find yourself programming when not at a computer? If so where?
:)

I just scrabble class names and method declarations in a piece of paper... "High level design" if you like. It doesn't helps a lot though, I rely (for better or worse) on what I remember/think than on my notes, often I write up notes just for the sake of writing up notes, not for reading them later.

Although its good in the sense that I think more about the problems I have to resolve by writing them down.

I do have a netbook with Eclipse around most of the time, but I prefer to code on my desktop (a single core Atom 1.6Ghz isn't quite on the same league as the i5 2500K I have on the desktop).

haha, i never get into the nitty gritty of the math. but take it today (on the train) i had to re-write a function a few times after i completed it, because i kept thinking of different possiblities that 'could' happen. True, I could have thought up all the possiblites then wrote the code, but show me a game without 1 bug and ill show you a cat >(*.*)< (yeah thats my lame attempt at a cat)

besides, writing and re-writing code on a train only adds to the 'rollercoster' that is coding anyway (i.e. yay i finished, aww a bug, yay fixed bug, aww another bug....)

The first thing i thought when i read this was "why would i not be at my computer in the first place?" lol :(

There is a place without computers? Did you found the door to the netherworld!?

I stumbled upon it one day when the power went out

I code in my mind.

I hate when i do that, garentee no sleep until i solve the problem :/

My head. Designed most of a system of a program that works out StarCraft II build orders when I woke up yesterday.

Apart from that I have my laptop that I specifically got with a smaller screen. It's only 14" so I can take it most places.

On my phone. I wrote the framework of component based entity system for my current game using the memo app on my phone. It surprisingly worked without many bugs. I felt pretty good that day. I still often use my phone to code little things and to work out pseudo code.
