...To have strange....

(Can't believe this is still going, i havent been to the site in nearly a year due to uni commitments..... :) )

Have an array of chars and draw it!

eg:



char array[] = { "+", "+", "+", "+", "+",
"+", "0", "+", "0", "+",

You want to load them into a one dimension array really as then each array index represents a frame of animation. This could be done using windows functions quite easily (BitBlt function and the...

try substituting <cstdlib> in place of <stdlib.h>

the code should be ANSI standard code to work on all compilers, and i DONT see any un-ANSI code! it should work on others, i have compiled DevC++ projects on MSVC++ Before without any problems

They only take up minute disk space and minimal ram on the html docs! You can always NOT provide a file, then nothing is drawn...

1) See the c/c++ books forum
2) DevC++ is free and is quite ample for game production as is the older DJGPP (used for compilation of quake)
3) DirectX is the most powerful graphic library at the...

however if you want to create an object dynamically the new keyword / operator will call the constructor for the object, malloc wont! I have found more uses for new than malloc()...

ibmackin have you tried any code at all, if so post it. The forum rules say we dont do homework for you, but we will have a go at fixing mistakes in homework you HAVE ALREADY DONE! |:)

Sorry for the late reply Ive been away at uni working hard! As for drawing the calendar why not have a nested loop to draw the whole lot?



char days[] = { "S", "M", "T", "W", "T", "F", "S" };...

or in full "std::vector", but there is still a danger that the struct name will cause errors. Easy just to do



namespace my_vector
{
struct vector // might as well class it
{

Can you explain further and provide details? Is the image on a window? CursorPos sounds like a console function to me...

Sorry I re-read the question. Your instructor is asking you to do a 'fake 3d' lighting effect (I was going to show you a 'real' techniqe!). He / She has said that colour must fade depending on...

Well for a start to make an ellipse appear like a ball you need to make a CIRCLE not an ellipse, then depending on the angle of the light you need to do some VERY basic lighting algorithms ASSUMING...

#include <stdio.h>

Seeing as this thread is about timesaving what about inheritance? Its a good time saver especially for the masses intent on game creation.

Say you make a class such as


class CBASE_ENTITY
{...

Video ram is Video ram, you cant expand Video mem into RAM as far as I know. OpenGL and DirectX (The most common card techs) 'almost' do this by using system ram if the vid mem runs out, the two...

I would also recommend DevC++, also DJGPP is useful if you want to program old VGA graphics.

Another way might be to define two classes with everything private (-constructors) and put the other classes functions as friends? the use of the static keyword could help as static fields dont...

What exact problem are you having at the moment with it? If you generate random numbers 1 - 13 to generate random cards all you need to do is have a seperate fields to store the value and the ID in....

Well looping would be a simple way to draw it! Does this have to be a console app? Many Win32 Functions are available for arranging text or characters at co-ordinates on a window....

not sure what is wrong there! However this code (untested) should work


#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <string> // std::string
#include <cstdlib> // system

template <class t>...

DevC++ doesnt have graphics.h with it, its a borland extension. iostream.h should work if not try #include <iostream> without the .h

I thought <string.h> was part of the old c++ standard?

Where is the original thread. I might be able to have a look...

Lost times of how many times i have said this (it is posted 3 or 4 times ABOVE people!) but just to refresh...

THE MODE 13H CODE USES 16 BIT ASSEMBLY COMMANDS (16 bit interrupts is the problem)
...

DevC++ using mingw32 compiler. I think its the other way round as most MS users I have seen have got all sorts of auto-generated things to adjust the code! The brush issue should work as...

If you must use char * (c-style) strings then define them as

char *string1;
char *string2;

string1 = (char*) new char[length + 1]; // allocate memory for a string of a given length. the + 1 is...

Just a few for you

cstr() ' convert to string
ccur() ' convert to curreny
clng() ' convert to long
cint() ' convert to integer
cdbl() ' convert to double

and theres probably a few more if...

std::string also works well

ie


std::string str1 = "string 1 goes here";
std::string str2 = "string 2 goes here";

str1 += str2; // add str2 to str1

median of a matrix? what is that? do you mean determinant? the fstream tutorial on the c/c++ tutorials forum will help with file IO.

search the code snippets. There are many examples there. strcmp is probably being passed / is returning invalid data. If you want strings why not use the string class?

also strcmp needs const char...

OpenGL = Open GRAHPICS library.

You need another library for sound.

there is a directx sdk of about 2 - 3 megs (i think) which is just the source and libraries. Search for and download DirectX 8 For Dev C++ (smaller than sdk) and copy what you need. DevC++ also...

strcmp parameters are invalid like the compiler says! I would convert to using the std::string class found in <string> as it is much easier to use and has most of its operators overloaded so you can...

I have been studying Engineering at university now and have come across a language which is apprently an industry standard - MatLab. It is a scripting language very close to C at times yet comes with...

not done assembly for a while but...

in the array loop if you have a flag for odd / even and XOR it every time the loop goes round it will switch from odd to even. Then test the flag to see...

not tried cstr() ??

then use listbox.additem method

You could investigate DirectX graphics. It really isnt hard as long as you error check all the way, otherwise it starts getting frustrating. Or even easier try OpenGL
