Does anyone know a good way to get a bitmap (or other picture file format) and put it on the screen using OpenGL???
I mean, that kinda thing is hard enough in the sissy, user-friendly syntax of...

I am but a lowly C++ dabbler, but I can tell you this: you will want some sort of class to contain the attributes of each stock. But A-Drag is right; you need to pound out some code (even if you're...

Um...my compiler (Bloodshed Dev-C++) doesn't like it. Can you give me just the specific lines of code to link a library (for example, glu.h or glut.h) so that I can use it?

That I would also like to do...I need to draw spheres for the game I'm working on...hell, I need a lot of glu stuff. How do you do that?

Explain please...I am two or three steps above n00b in C++.
I don't know that stuff so well.

I cannot link GL Utility Toolkit (lack know-how), so I need a way using only gl/gl.h and windows.h to get keyboard input. Help please!

Writing an array-sorting algorithm has been the bane of intro-C++ courses since the language was invented, I think. Being a hobbyist, I try to avoid having to sort. If you just need the max and min,...

What I would do is this instead of the "read" loop:

int tmax, tmin;

tmax=temp[0];
tmin=temp[0];

for(int i=0; i<31; i++){
if(temp[i]>tmax){
tmax=temp[i];

I am but a humble part-time hobbyist programmer, but I have found Dev-C++ to work very well. It pwns.

By project file do you mean a *.dev? I can't find one. And how do you create a dll project?

OK, I appreciate the help! I'll get right on that!


...how do you compile the DLL??? (I know, I don't know a whole lot)

I'm not as good with software as I'd like to think I am. Where does the glut32.lib file go? I can't find any .lib files to go by on my hard drive except for in my JAVA stuff.

Sorry, Ancient Dragon. Its the readme-win32 file in the "glut-3.7.6-bin.zip" link. Do you have any idea what causes that type of linker error? Thanks!

Glad to have been of service. Um...My name is Gabriel, not Garth; I was just quoting Wayne's World. Just putting that out there.:D

I'm new to C++ graphics, and a friend tipped me off to OpenGL. I'm currently trying to work with the GL Utility Toolkit (#include gl\glut.h), which I had to download from the web. Due to all the...

cin.ignore() I always learned is used to pause the program until the user strikes the enter key. (This makes it useful for getting data displayed with cout because without such a pause statement, the...

Hi, I took a course in JAVA and learned about exceptions...I'm not sure how to throw and catch in C++. Can I get some help please???

Ooops, Ancient Dragon, my bad. Didn't see those. I pulled a noob.:icon_confused:
thanks.

Know of any??? Pretty please with easy-to-read, exception-handling code and a cherry on top??? I've been looking for ages, can't find any that work.:(

Thanks for the help.

For those of you who also code in JAVA*:
Does anyone know of anything in C++ that is at all like paintComponent or the Graphics class? HALP!


*ROFLwaffles to those who do

No offense, eyedea2011, but the syntax you're using is either really old or really new, because a lot of it doesn't make much sense to me. Why not just use
if(a==b){
return true;
} else {

Try C# sometime. I hear it's halfway between JAVA and C++, so that might be useful. Personally, I'd say C++ is easier to work with; strings are mutable, you just have to type cout instead of...

I always learned that main returns an int so that you can put exit(0), exit(1) and other constructions in to tell you why the program quit. Or would that not work...?

Is there any way to write a program to check a computer's serial number as sort of a copy-protect? (i.e., if the serial number doesn't match the expected number written into the program, the program...

Create a bool list[50], an array of 50 boolean (yes/no) values and set all of them to true at the start by using a for loop. Then, create the following function:
int randnum(int num){

Like evilsilver said, rand isn't really random. It uses a really complex algorithm on the seed number (which you set with srand), so every time the program is run, it gives you the same output from...

Huh? What's a pointer? I can only write basic code? Please tell me what a pointer is? Apparently I can't stop using question marks?

Venomlash back again.
Wrote a code snippet, compiler didn't like it. The pain, the pain, the pain. Of course, it might just be that I'm not good with inheriting classes, so anyone who can get this...

If I create a class called "tree" and inherit from it to classes called "elm" and "oak", can I, using all three header files, create a vector <tree> and use push_back to add an "elm" and an "oak" to...

Please tell me you're kidding about the keyboards lacking an ampersand! I have never heard of that. Just to connect this to something funny, has anyone seen the Dilbert strip in which the company...

I use Bloodshed Dev-C++ version 4.9.9.2 and it is a little weird in that it accepts "and" as "&&" and "or" as "||", not to mention not requiring parentheses around separate clauses in and/or...

Did you maybe put in i0stream like you did in your message? Stupid question, but it only takes iostream.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooool.

Nice...
How do you change the background color?
Pretty please?
And is there a way to make the program appear fullscreen when started up?
