Coding problems

I got a little bit of a surprise when I arrived at the project today. Across the road from the Hotel was a smashed-up car. I do not know what happened, but when I mentioned it to Richard, he said it'd been there for about two hours. A car crash, apparently. What happened to the other car supposedly involved in the whole thing? I only saw the one car.

We were working on programming our little game of Yahtzee again today. We appear to have gotten a lot further but are still encountering several problems. A main problem we're having is storing player names and recalling those names before each roll. We discovered that we can store names via the following command - char playerName[10][100]. The [10] should allow us to store up to 10 player names, and [100] will allow up to 100 characters; at least...that's the theory. If the names ARE being stored, how do we go about recalling stored data from the [10] within our program?

If anyone is interested in just how our program is looking and could help at all, check out this thread on Cprogramming.com. Any help on this whole thing would be much appreciated.

When I got home, I was told that an older man had fallen to his death from a window at the old people's home across the road from where I live. Out of curiosity, I decided to search Google for any news about the event. Here is what I found.

Hillcrest House care home fined for Looe window fall death

The owners of a care home in Cornwall must pay £135,000 after a resident fell to his death from a faulty window.

Michael and Sharon Cotton who run Hillcrest House on Barbican Road, Looe admitted failing to ensure the safety of residents.

Truro Crown Court heard that Reginald Gibbings, 89, fell 12ft (3.6m) out of a window due to a faulty catch.

The couple were fined £40,000 and must pay £95,963 for Mr Gibbings' funeral and Health and Safety Executive costs.

The court heard that Mr Gibbings, who died in 2008, had Alzheimer's disease and had moved into the care home five days before his death.

He fell through a ground-floor bedroom window, suffering multiple injuries and died two days later.

Prosecutor Kate Brunner said the windows at the home had restrictors to prevent them being opened more than 10cm (4ins) but that a screw had not been tightened sufficiently and the window opened too far.

Judge Philip Wassall said the restrictor was used contrary to its design and there was no procedure to ensure that staff were instructed how to use it.

He said the system was defective but not significantly so.

That was such a surprise to find out about. The guy had only moved into the place about five days before he died. It sounds like he may have been safer just living wherever he was living before this all happened.
