I successfully had one enemy wandering back and forth in between collision blocks in my platform scroller. Unfortunately, I'm running into problems when trying to drop multiple enemies across the map. I basically made 7 additional enemies and gave them different starting positions across the map, but the program crashes …

For some strange reason, my game's score counter is not working correctly. I threw in an enemy, which just walks back and forth between two blocks in the map. I know I probably didn't program the enemy the smartest way, and I'm probably about to change it. Instead of programming …

I want to implement a countdown timer in a game, but need some help figuring out how to do it properly. I know that this is probably a very regular question that has been asked a thousand times, but I've been trying out some methods I found through searching, but …

I'm creating a simple platform scroller using C++ and the Allegro library, and also .fmp maps created using the tile-based editor Mappy. I have two maps created, which will serve as my two levels. Once the first map is run through, I want to switch to the second map. What's …

I am wondering how I can make my program not keep looping the input of a key or mouse click. For example, I'm writing a game that uses WASD keys for movement of character, and say spacebar to jump. How can I have it work so that regardless if I …

I have an animated sprite animal character that runs across the screen using the arrow keys. It is a series of 7 individual frames. The first frame is its "sitting" position, which is as of now only called when the program starts. I want the animal to return to it's …

I am working on my first scrolling game. I am pretty new to game programming in general, but have so far successfully made a couple very simple games. (Pong, etc.) I am using Dev-C++ and the Allegro library for this game. It's basically going to be a cat that runs …

I've finally got my game scrolling sideways, but... 1) There's a really bad flicker to the whole screen. 2) Also, how do I get the background to loop? 3) The whole thing seems to run quite a bit slower than before I added the background. Why is that? How do …

I'm working on an animated sprite program. It animates an asteroid sprite and bounces the asteroid around the screen. When I compile, I am having trouble with 4 particular lines. I am getting the same three errors for each of the 4 lines. These are the errors (obviously for line …

I am working on a Pong game that also uses a gun to shoot out the rear wall of the playing box, so that the ball may escape. I'm using Dev-C++ and the Allegro library. There are two slight problems... 1) The "bullet" fired from the gun hits its target, …

This seems like something pretty basic, and I'm sure I'm just missing something, but I can't figure it out. I've been searching for a bit, and find several different suggestive solutions, but none of them were working for me. I'm sure I was doing something wrong. What I want to …

I am doing a Pong style game. As long as the paddle isn't moving upward at the time, it will reflect the ball like it's supposed it. However, if the paddle is moving forward, it will run over the ball and the ball will go through it. Here is my …

I am making a pong-like game for a class. I am having trouble with the ball's collision detection. The game is a 1 player version, where the ball and paddle are both contained in a box. The player uses a gun which is built into the paddle, in order to …

I'm working on a Floyd's Algorithm type Java program. What I have done so far is represent a directed graph in a 2d array, and I am trying to transform that into a 2d array representing the graph's paths of length 2. I planned for it to fill the adj2[][] …

Well, I just solved the problem I was having. A small and stupid error on my part. If there's a way to delete threads, let me know!

I need help with how to handle parentheses when converting an infix equation to postfix through the use of a stack. The program reads the equations in from a .txt file. It works for the equations without parentheses, but not for those with parentheses. I've attached the text file to …

I'm needing to evaluate string infix equations and transform them to postfix equations. I'm following the info here: [url]http://scriptasylum.com/tutorials/infix_postfix/algorithms/infix-postfix/index.htm[/url] 1.) I'm confused by this line: "compare the precedence of the character with the element on top of the stack" It's asking me to compare the precedence of an operand to …
