It appears to work for me. The version of my Dev-C++ IDE is 4.9.9.2. One should note that the first parameter is always the name of your program.

This is the program I used for testing.

Hmm, perhaps you need another newline all by itself?

Try

// Assuming that I'm connecting to google...
const char *request = "GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.google.com\n\n"

My goodness. That's an ancient compiler. Most of the graphics libraries today won't work with it, so I think you're limited to what graphics capabilities Turbo has by default (conio.h/graphics.h).
...

What is the name of your compiler?

Allegro (http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/) is a game-programming library that supports DOS.

If you give us more details about what kind of game you're...

Yes, one could use MFC's 2-stage construction. However, my personal preference is still to to use the constructor to create the object, because I'm used to the RAII paradigm...

How can I handle a constructor that fails? (http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/exceptions.html#faq-17.2)

That's an interesting question. I've never done it myself before this, but this seems to work.

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

template<class T> struct B ;

template<class T>
struct...

We only give homework help to those who show effort (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/announcement8-2.html).

Was it bluej (http://www.bluej.org/)?

I don't think there's an IDE for C++ like that. But if you're looking for a "regular" IDE, you can try Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html).

I learned my C from these books. I'm not saying they're the greatest (in fact they usually get bad reviews), but I think they worked very well for me.

I assume the issue has been resolved (http://www.cpp-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11203)?

Ah I see. Yes, one should generally initialize pointers to 0 instead of '\0' to avoid confusion. The Great One himself recommends it as well (http://www.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq2.html#null).

The day and month variables are declared to be arrays of length 10. You only need to use new and delete[] if the arrays have not been allocated yet.



Hi Dave, I was under the impression that...

Probably the easiest way to accomplish it is to use a set of bitmaps. One each for U, L, R and D. Then draw the bitmaps instead of the ball.

I could take the time and do it for you, but I don't...

Google has plenty of tutorials on arrays...

You have my vote. It's hard to recommend a generic solution to a problem when you don't know if the user is using C or C++.

Perhaps you mean to do

x = creat * creat * creat;

Anyway please post your code again after you've made any changes.

Not sure if I follow, but what about

creat = creat * creat * creat;

The operator ^ is the bitwise XOR operator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation), not a cubic operator. There isn't a cubic operator. You can get the 3rd power of a number by using * like...

I don't think version 6 is still available for download. Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/default.aspx) is though. However I don't think it comes with...

I've posted something like this before 2 years ago (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread375.html).

The downloads appear to be still there.

You're using the infamous <conio.h>, which is specific to Borland compilers. To port it to VC++, you'll have to either of the following:

1) Find a Visual C++ port for conio.h. I don't know if one...

Sounds like a request for us to do your homework (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/announcement8-2.html). What have you done so far?

He doesn't know how to program in it. :)

If the java class files are in the same directory, you do not need to import them.

You're either using a C compiler or you're compiling under C mode in a C++ compiler. The problem is that you can't declare a variable in a for() under C.

Replace

for (int i=1;i<=oneNumber;i++)...

Replace

infile >> temp;

with

temp = infile.get() ;

That should do the trick. :)

You can either make gal a global variable, or pass rewrite gas() so that it receives a pointer to a integer. Then pass gal to gas().

1) Dev-C++ is sufficient if you want to learn C++ programming. Dev-C++ is actually a GUI wrapper for the MingW compiler. In other words, you're actually usng the MingW (http://www.mingw.org/)...

Are you using Win32, MFC or one of the .NET classes to do your drawing? :)

Most of the time you don't need to use the bitwise operations. The only time I've had to operate with bits is combining the modes in the ifstream/ofstream constructors:

I found this problem of yours harder than expected. Firstly, I'm better at C++ libraries than the C libraries. So I had to revise all my C File I/O. Secondly, I hate parsing. Anyway here's my...

That sounds like John Nash (Russell Crowe) in A Beautiful Mind. :)

Whoa. Is that some meta-physical-economical revelation? :o

Nah, it was good practice. :D

I've coded a simple program that lets the user control the position of a ball via the arrow keys.

Oh my God. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. You must be real sad! :(

I haven't used Borland much...but from what I remember it ran slow as hell on my old 4GB Windows 98 PC. Of course, that was an old computer.

Not true. The Freeware JCreator version comes with almost all the essential features. Only JCreator Pro is a 30-day Shareware trial. I recommend JCreator whole-heartedly. Both can be downloaded at...
