I'm guessing you'd download the appropriate headers and libraries and dump them in your compiler/IDE folders. If you want something simpler, have a look at Allegro. What IDE/Compiler are you using anyway?
If it is a compiled executable, no. You can obviously view the code of open source games, but I take it you mean commercial games. Technically you can decompile code, but it's highly illegal.
In your code, you have a kind of double negative here:
while not n == 0:
This is saying that "while 'n' does not equal 0", do stuff. A simpler way of writing this is "while n != 0:". The "not" is only really used for boolean. ie:
a = True
while not a:
print ':)'
the "not" effectively means "false". So: "while 'a' is false".

It looks rather like you are going to use the first bit :)
Just a note: a more convential way of doing this starts at zero and counts to 'n', not the other way round. It won't make any difference, it's just a convention.
Liking the above suggestion from flukebob. May take a little bit to put right (having to change every mention of the current arrays and restructure some parts), but it would definitely be worth it. Have a shot anyway and come back to us.
What are the errors? You could also reduce the amount of variables that you have by a fair way. Instead of using "int lvl1", "int lvl2" and so on, just use an array.
Nah. I'd keep 2.55. I had another go last night and it's gradually becoming clearer. I'm currently modeling for someone's game so I'm staying with 2.49b because I can work so much quicker. If your just starting out, I'm not sure which you should go with. I would say 2.55 because it's up to date, but I'd say 2.49b, 'cos it's simpler and there are not that many 2.55 tutorials at the moment. Your choice :)
Nah it's cool :) It's 'cos I didn't spend much time learning classes before I went to Python, and now I've come back (sort of), I've forgotten it all :'(
Take the printing for whoever got the highest gold out of the loop and have that after you print the table. Not sure what you mean by the ampersand. Where do you want to add it? I'll have a look at it again in a little bit.
We won't do your homework for you. Without you showing a decent amount of code you have written (ie. effort), we will only link you to places that can get you on the right track, and we will NOT give you bits of code. Sorry, but it's the rules.
Country Gold Silver Bronze total
------------------------------------------------------
Canada 3 2 1 6
The country with the highest gold count is 6
with 6 gold medals
China 2 5 1 8
The country with the highest gold count is 6
with 6 gold medals
(and so on...)
I take it you want the output to be "The country with the highest gold count is <country>" and not "The country with the highest gold count is 6". This is what you put in your "wanted output".
On the output line 4, you are getting the country name as "6". This is because "HighsetSoFar" is the index to the array value of the country/medal count, NOT the actual value. Say index 5 had the most gold medals. You need to find out which country relates to index 5. There is also something wrong with your printing, seeing as it tells you who got the most golds repeatedly.
That's because you are using blender 2.55 The instructions you were given are for 2.49b and earlier. If I were you, I would use 2.49b 2.55 confuses the heck out of me :/
If the last letter is b or d or g etc., then add "word[wordlength]" on the end, nad then add 'er'. Just use a compound if statement to test for all the letters.
1. The length of the array will be the amount of countries whose medal count you want to compare.
2. If you only want to find the highest gold, I suggest making a new array that only contains how many golds each country has. This should be simple to do (have a quick google if your not sure). Then you can pretty much use the logic in my code.
OK I'll break it down line by line. The line numbers reference the code in my above post.
Lines 1-4:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
The top two lines mean that we include the cstdlib and iostream libraries in our program. You will need iostream, but you don't really need cstdlib. It's just there when I start a new project in C++.
Lines 6 - 7:
int main()
{
This is obviously the start of your main function. You would want to make this into a separate function, so you can call it whenever you need it. I just made it in main because it's much quicker when I'm doing a demo.
Lines 9 - 17:
//variables
//length of array
const int len=5;
//array of numbers. Obvs. 24 is highest
int arr[len]={3, -1, 24, 10, 16};
//index of current highest
int HighestSoFar=0;
//loop until we have tested each array value
int i=0;
The variable "len" is the length of our array. I made the variable because we need to use it again in the loop that goes through our array. It has to be in the loop as the limiting value (ie, while (i<len) etc.), otherwise we end up trying to get array values that haven't been initialized and our program crashes. You cannot make an array of variable length in C++, so we have to use a "const int". This, as you might guess, is a contant integer that cannot be …
