C Programmers Come Here

ROFL............notepad wannabe? What do you think most text editors are. Ms has put out some shitty apps before but notepad is pretty good. It has all the basic features that a text editor should have and its has a few others that dont make it bloated.

I use text editors for editing config files not writing novels. Thats what word processors are for. And with all do respect if you cant code a simple notepad wannabe then you really shouldnt be trying to code anything thats more advanced than that because most of your time will be debugging it instead of actually finishing it.


Hope that didnt offend you or anyone else but its the truth ;)

:cry1:

Well I'm not making the text editor. I'm just making the game. That's where I need help at :)

my suggestion:
(as i don't see x changing, throw ejex out)

Code:

---

case 'd':
if (x<whaeva_limit_fits)
{
  x+=7;
  ship(x,y);
}
....

---

word of advice: dont use delay, use some sort of time calc to make it smooth.
then declaration shold be (for no warnings)

Code:

---

void salida (void);
void menu (void);

---

if you want enemies you should rename your prog to cpp and

Code:

---

class Enemy{
int x,y,size,alive,etc...
Enemy (x,y){ alive=-1; /*constructor stuff....*/}
~Enemy (){alive_=0; /*destructor stuff...*/}
Draw(){ ...}...
}

---

and you can call it from prog
Enemy sharman(1,0);
if (sharman.alive) { sharman.Draw(); }...

Lololol Sharman. Ok, I just understood a little of what you said.

Why should I rename it to .cpp? I'm doing C not C++ (although I know they can be compiled the same).

because u need objects to decribe behaviour.
if u don't use objects you're going to be spending 20x more time writing your game in ansi, and will be filling up the memory with unnecessary variables.

no .c and .cpp do not compile the same, from extension the bc knows how to parameter the compiler.

Ok then....can you explain again then, please :)

Bumping this.... I'm gonna have to do SOMETHING this weekend and I wanna make the enemy ships :D

:angry:

Come on now :)

sorry, i was out in the nature playing, with no comp.
so "explain again?"

ok you need objects. i am not going to write them for u as u have an alternative not to do them OO-way, and i'm not gona be there on your exam.

in order for OO's to work you need to rename a .c source to .cpp so compiler is called properly.

you describe the behavior of each object inside a 'class'
class Name
{
Name(){}
or/and
Name(int a){}
or /and
Name(char *t, int a){}
are constuctors. you can have as many as u want, they are automatically called as object come and go in your game.
automatically means if u call it with int the second constructor will generate the ojject

~Name(){}
is a destructor. is automatically called when theres no need for the object to exist. btw you can call on it if u want to delete an object manually, is good when sth dies.

Other_functions(){}
can be added as well
}


you create an object like this:
(class name is 'Name' and u want an object named 'willy' then:)

Code:

---

Name willy;
or
Name willyz(2);

---

these eill execute constuctor

when u allready have willy named 'Name'
then u can
willy.Other_finctions;

so if u understand these u can easily rewrite your game to be 50 lines and easily understandable, almost english (or spanish) -like statements.

i really am not going to write it, nobody wrote my c homeworks back then. this is a thing you gotta go through and use with ease in the future.

Hmm..... ok I thought classes were in Java, not C.

If indeed that is C and not Java, I assume they are defined almost the same way as in Java? With the exception that you don't put public..... etc. lol :unsure:
