Operating overloading is only for basic operators such as +, -, ==, !=, etc...

If you did not know that, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be worrying about that.

Just deal with it, mostly. It's five characters more, surely no impediment on productivity.

Also, it should be noted that you shouldn't do operating overloading on primitives like numbers in the first place, if it's actually possible.

someone write me a gui with a goddam macro.
We're doing this, we can make c# absolutely better than Java.
When it is time to write code.

Ok, compromise, I can get java style with commonly used functions
by wrapping them up in a shorter function, and supposedly the compiler optimises to the same result as if I just typed out the dam thing by hand. Supposedly.

You can do it that way, if it really matters. I'd suggest some simple, static wrapper. When you get towards 'release' code you could always just do a search/replace and add 'Math.' to everything. By the way, I think the non-Express version of Visual Studio supports macros.

I uploaded some sample code for people to try (classes for you, Hippoman? . See the original post.

It complains about importing Grobo,

"GraphicsManager" does not exist in this context.

There is also a GroboLib that has a little exclamation point.

That means it can't find the DLL. It's in the zip file. Did you follow the installation instructions? To use the demo code, you start a new ASCII Game project and add those files (replace Program.cs).

Read to me the exact files you have in that directory.

I have tried both just extracting the first zip, and extracting both.
No diffrence.

I haven't downloaded and installed last SP of .NET yet but I'm already checking out C#'s features.

So far... I like it very much.

Small details like not having to care about argument order made my day:

Code: [Select]

System.Console.WriteLine("What do you know? {1} contains {0}",sss,eee);sss and eee are strings, btw.

Also, if you want a major time waster,
 look into "An Untitled Story".

I tried this yesterday, and it messed up my computer totally. I had to reinstall my computer's operating system.

I must have missed something for the template. Annoying. Anyway, just expand the references, remove Grobo and then add it manually: right-click on references, choose add, select the browse tab and locate the DLL. That should do it.

This is kind of hard to explain, but is there a function that prints text in the same way the BlitASCII prints a character?
BlitASCII uses the 16x16 characters and DrawText uses it's own font.

So I'm looking for a function that prints the text with the 16x16 characters.


Edit: Nevermind, I made my own function:

Code: [Select]

public static void DrawASCIIText(int x, int y, string txt, Color col) {
    x *= 16; y *= 16;
    int drawPos = 0;
    foreach(char c in txt) {
        GraphicsManager.BlitASCII(x+drawPos, y, (byte)c, col);
        drawPos += 16;
    }
}

I understand. The point is that BlitASCII is just using a set of bitmap tiles and DrawText is using a true-type font. Ie. the former is intended to create game graphics and the latter is for text output. However, you can obviously use the ASCII table for text, too, as per the function you wrote

My first challenge shall be:
Implementation of g's that march on the player.
The player can only kill one per turn, and any goblin can kill the player.

In the process, I will use structs and such.


Edit: or maybe I will be simple and use objects...

Classes (that's what you mean by 'objects', right?) would make more sense, probably, for what you are doing.

Classes, because objects are much more convenient than goblin structures.

Now I have goblins running around and a dwarf that you can control, next I am going to do combat things and consider adding body parts.
