A program that uses hooks to detect keypresses and write them to a file.

Quite a while ago, I made [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet217147.html"][B]this[/B][/URL] snippet. This code is basically the same, except that it adds animation. This method of blitting is very fast assuming you don't use a surface that's too large. On a 500 x 500 surface, I managed 350fps using only 0-1% of the cpu. …

Saw [this](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/code/216430/add-a-little-graphics-to-your-console) and decided to make a little spinoff with some physics of mine. Enjoy!

A small game of pong I put together in about half an hour :) Enjoy.

Heres a code that allows you to manually change the sensitivity of the mouse by using windows hooks.

Here's a function that manually converts an integer to any base between 2 and 36, the parameter list is: [CODE]void toBase( int value, // Integer value to convert char *target, // Pointer to a large enough buffer int base, // Base (from 2 to 36) int fixedDigitCount // The minimum …

This snippet basically shows you how to input a password from the user without actually displaying the characters, instead they are replaced with the ' * ' character as you type. The code is uncommented, so I will briefly explain it. This function: [ICODE]void PasswordInput(char *password, size_t maxLength)[/ICODE] has two …

Snippet to show how to count the number of occurences of letters in a string.

This snippet shows how you can manually split up a sentence using multiple delimiters. In this example, I split up this sentence: [ICODE]"Hello, my name is william!"[/ICODE] into the following: [ICODE]"Hello"[/ICODE] [ICODE]"my"[/ICODE] [ICODE]"name"[/ICODE] [ICODE]"is"[/ICODE] [ICODE]"william"[/ICODE] As you can see, the delimiters are not included ([ICODE]" ,!"[/ICODE])

Heres a snippet that allows you to make your own images by using a mathematical formula. It gives you fast access to each pixel in the bitmap, and then saves the image as a [B].bmp[/B] once its made. You can be creative like this and make images which would be …

Heres a snippet that compares the speed of volatile (nonregister) variables, and register variables and display's the average cycle count for each. This shows you exactly how much using registers speeds up loops and calculations. I get the following output, but it may vary: [QUOTE]Cycle count for nonregister integer: 8 …

This snippet shows how to use hooks to stop the cursor from entering a certain area of the screen. This example will stop the cursor from going over 300 pixels away from the centre of the screen by using a bit of maths.

Hey, Here is a program I made which has interested quite a lot of people over the past few weeks, so I figured I would share it :) Using a small amount of trigonometry you can create some very fascinating shapes and effects. But in order to draw anything you …
