Searching for the truth in my extension

After having the segmentation fault, I did what any good developer does: put cout to print messages all over my code. Thanks to it I was able to "fix" the line:
*instance = CApp2(RubyInt::internal(width), RubyInt::internal(height), RubyString::internal(scene_file));
into:
instance = new CApp2(RubyInt::internal(width), RubyInt::internal(height), RubyString::internal(scene_file));
I also found out that somehow some of my pointers that are instance variables of the C++ class are getting set to zero. That is why I now get a segmentation fault again because I try to use them when they are zero. Maybe Ruby is setting them to zero? but why? I could not find anything on the web to help. Look at the output from the ruby program: 
>ruby Test.rb

Power Automate: SFTP action "Test connection failed"

When I added an SFTP create file action to my Power Automate flow ( https://flow.microsoft.com ) , I got the following error in the action step, within the designer: "Test connection failed" To troubleshoot the Power Automate connection, I had to: go the Power Automate portal then "Data"->"Connections"  the sftp connection was there, I clicked on the ellipsis, and entered the connection info It turns out, that screen provides more details about the connection error. In my case, it was complaining that "SSH host key finger-print xxx format is not supported. It must be in 'MD5' format". I had provided the sha fingerprint that WinScp shows. Instead, I needed to use the MD5 version of the fingerprint. To get that, I had to run in command line (I was in a folder that had openssh in it): ssh -o FingerprintHash=md5 mysftpsite.com To get the fingerprint in MD5 format. I took the string (without the "MD5:" part of the string) and put ...

How to create online multiplayer HTML5 games in Contruct2

  Construct2 can use websockets to send and receive messages between games. By using socket-io , we can use a Node.js script as the server and my modification to the socket-io plugin for Construct2 to allow the games to synchronize data between them in real-time. There are two parts to this design: the Node.js server and the Construct2 clients (the games playing). The main part of building an online multiplayer HTML5 game is to plan: how the clients will communicate how often and what to communicate how much of the logic will go into the server and how much to the client. In my sample game, I chose to have each client own a player and have the server just relay messages: Use string messages in the form TypeOfMessage, Parameter1, Paremeter2, Parater3, etc to communicate. Have the clients send their player position about 16 times a second. Whenever their player shoots, the client needs to send a message immediately. Almost all of the game logic will...
