See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness for details about byte order, or look up something specific to Java or C.

Yeah, spoke to some guys at ##java, and they said it has to do with big and little indians and whatnot. Found a way to convert my numbers over to little-endian, and that fixed the problem.

Where I work there is a set of 5 using namespaces in a generic header

You poor, poor man.

OpenGL stuff is creeping along slowly. Still no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I decided less == more and started commenting out commands until I got to the bare minimum. Somehow gluPerspective and gluLookat are messing things up.

big and little indians

I thought it was funny, and with your permission, Virex, I shall use it myself.

I don't know what the difference between a little indian and a big indian is  .

Thank the Lord. Commenting and then slowly uncommenting rules has finally yielded me a green, textured and lighted landscape of my own doing.

Now to get it to "pop" according to level of detail based on camera-distance (It should already but it isn't).
Been looking into the marching-cubes algorithm but I'm not sure if it can fit my needs. Altering it is a bitch though (comment is from the guy I took it from):

Code: [Select]

//  I found this table in an example program someone wrote long ago.  It was probably generated by hand

GLint a2iTriangleConnectionTable[256][16] =
{
        {-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {0, 8, 3, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {0, 1, 9, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {1, 8, 3, 9, 8, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {1, 2, 10, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {0, 8, 3, 1, 2, 10, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {9, 2, 10, 0, 2, 9, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {2, 8, 3, 2, 10, 8, 10, 9, 8, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
        {3, 11, 2, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1},
....And that goes on for another 240ish lines. Yes, lookup tables are fast, but this is getting ridiculous.

[Virex]

That's why, if possible, you let the compiler do those kinds of tasks for you (don't know how viable that is for gcc. You may need a separate program to generate the tables)

[Siquo]

I don't know if that's possible in this case. It's some really specific stuff, that generates triangle-locations.

I'm not touching that #&%^ with a 10-foot pole. I'll just see how it goes without alteration, first.

I have this function to read and tokenize input:

Code: [Select]

int IO()
{
    char *cIOline;
    cin.getline(cIOline, 80);
    char *cIOarray[10];
    int nFinger = 0;
    cIOarray[nFinger] = strtok(cIOline, "   ,.;:");
    do
    {
        cIOarray[++nFinger] = strtok(NULL, "  ,.;:");
    }while((cIOarray != NULL)||(nFinger == 8));
    return 0; //Fix.
}
Currently though, it's useless. It doesn't return the tokenized string array as the output. After this finishes, I want the output to be written to an identical charstar array in the function that called it. Here's the host function:

Code: [Select]

int testRoom()
{
    cout << "This is the test room! You find yourself surroinded by gray walls." << endl;
    cout << "There is a single, naked LIGHT bulb on the ceiling, and a CRATE on the floor next to you." << endl;
    cout << endl;
   
    char *cInputTokens[10];
    do
    {
        //Blu bluh find some way to make the charstar array here be the output of IO()
        if (cInputTokens[0] == "get")
           {
               if (cInputTokens[1] == "crate")
                   cout << "The crate is too heavy to lift." << endl;
               else if (cInputTokens[1] == "light")
                   cout << "Ouch! The light bulb is too hot to touch." << endl;
           };
    }while(0 == 0); //Make an exit condition.
}
Any idea how I can do this? 

[Siquo]

I don't know exactly what you're doing, but I'm guessing:

Code: [Select]

}while((cIOarray[nFinger] != NULL)&&(nFinger < 8));

Okay, simply put: How do I pass a charstar array between functions?

Simply put I wouldn't. Assuming you are trying to pass an array of strings I'd pass a const boost::array<std::string> reference.

However to answer your question.

function(const char*[10]) as 10 is the size of the array of pointers should work fine.

Depending on your compiler you might also be able to use function(const char**) for a multidimensional array of chars, but as you know it's 10 there is no need for this.

Depending on your compiler

gcc is the only compiler. :-P Don't let the chaps at ##c fool you, intel doesn't really have it's own toolchain. It's all lies.

Don't start this again... Please.

Depending on your OS, that statement might be true.
