Damn, shame I found this thread late at night >_o. I've been trying to code a game in VB and keep getting hung up. I'll read through this thread tomorrow, but for now here's a link to my current project http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=81060.0 and I'll post to watch and remind myself this exists.

hi!
I will talk to you in your thread, as I am also making a game in VB.

EDIT: still reading stroustrup!

I was pretty much converted to using the IDE geany instead of using both gedit and the command line to practice C++, but I ran into a problem with it. When I try to run the program, I get this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

./geany_run_script.sh:5: ./structure: not found

------------
(program exited with code: 127)
Press return to continue

If I copy and paste the same code into gedit, save, and then use G++ in the terminal on the file, it works fine:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

nathan@nathan-puget:~/C++$ g++ structur.cpp
nathan@nathan-puget:~/C++$ ./a.out
Expand your guest list with Glorious gloria and Audacious Arthur!
You can have both for $62.98!
nathan@nathan-puget:~/C++$


I'd give the code as well, but I'm guessing that this is not the problem. It's strange btw because It's copied form the book I'm learning from.

[TolyK]

strange. maybe your compiler/IDE is not ICO C++ standards-compliant? 

[Normandy]

Probably because the code is compiled to another folder. Note that the script says that the executable is "not found". Check around in the folders to see if there's any sort of "Debug" or "Build" folder. Put the run script in there, then it should work.

Umm, not entirely sure where to go for this, but I'm sure somebody here can either help me out or point me in the right direction. Having never made a roguelike,  and wishing to make one within the time frame of 7 days, I require a nice package to handle user interface. I was told libtcod (A.K.A the Doryen library) would be good and that it includes a wrapper for c#.

Oh yea, I'm using c#, it is the fastest language I can code in.

So, now that I have downloaded the entire thing for c, c++, python and this wrapper, anybody know what parts of it I need? I have used non-intrinsic librarys of code before, but never a wrapper.

Enlighten me.

[malimbar04]

Figured my problem out, and it was a stupid mistake.

Since it worked before and I never changed any of those settings, I just looked around for a minute in the folder that the source .cpp file is in. I didn't see the finished app (named structur), but I did see structur.o which I remember is a compiled file.

Geany has a button for compiling, a button for building a file, and a button for running a file. I compiled the file, but didn't build it. Thus when I tried to run the file, there was nothing to run. Just forgot to press a button. I blame my problem on IDE's I'm using for classes in Java and Visual Basic, because they work differently.

probably the one for C++ (Visual C++ is close to C#. if there's one for Visual Basic that one might actually be a bit closer o.0)

I'm not to experienced when it comes to C#, but when I set up the Libtcod wrapper for Lisp, I only needed the .dll files of the mingw variant, though I think the wrapper documentation specified that. (note to self: If you're using a wrapper that uses .dll files, put them in the same map as the project you're working on, not in the same file as the wrapper. Saves you a headache)

Spoiler: Code is in C (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

typedef struct RGB {
     unsigned char red;
     unsigned char green;
     unsigned char blue;
} RGB;

typedef struct canvas {
     int width;
     int height;
     RGB **data;
} canvas;

RGB WHITE   = { 255, 255, 255 };

canvas mkcanvas (int width, int height)
{
     canvas c;
     c.width = width; c.height = height;     
     RGB a[width][height];
     int i = 0, j = 0;
     for (; i < width; i++)
      for (; j < height; j++)
           a[i][j] = WHITE;
     c.data = (RGB **)a;

     return c;
}


In mkcanvas, how do turn c.data into a two dimensional array. I've tried some silly mallocs and the above but it doesn't work. It segfaults when trying to access c.data[0][0].red.

Never mind this, the guys at ##c tell me it isn't really possible.

Also planning on participating in 7DRL. Anyone know how to set up libtcod for Visual Studio 2010 (C++ if that matters)?

If someone can refer me to a good roguelike tutorial too, I'd appreciate it.

This one worked good for me, although its python/libtcod-centric.  I'm sure the concepts all apply though.

Put the library in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10\VS\include\libtcod\ and #include it?

All the contents of the .zip?

[ILikePie]

I think so, I mean what does it have in there? Should just be a bunch of .c and .h files.

Ok, well hi to all of you.

I have a programming related question, and wish to ask some people who know what they're talking about, and some of you do.

I'm thinking of a project, a multiplayer RPG kinda game... but obviously only single to start with, and evolving as it goes, and such... and it's 3D and... well. I've got no engines or anything which are totally free source which might work. I have no idea what language would be best (I have programming exp., but not in anything really useful -.-) and it seems I may have to write my own engine, which would take years and be extremely painful. The only thing close I've found so far is Jmonkey3. But it says it's unsuitable for, say, a visual RPG. Hmm. Plus, I'm not sure if Java will be too overloaded by the game, C/++ might be better (faster). Sooo... any ideas? It'd be nice if I didn't have to pay any royalties and could sell etc. if I ever wanted to.

PS. The project is DF influenced. Anyway.

Thanks all. If you can help, I'd be epichappy.
