I wish you luck on your endeavor Mego! I have no idea how to go about doing something like that, though I do have some ideas that could possibly be implemented. Just that I also have no clue as to if they are possible, or how to go about writing them up in a concise way :{(> (sad mustache guy w/ goatee)

I'll be sure to share if I ever finish it!

Awesomes! Now to go work on some stuff that I accidentally put off doing yesterday with regards to a project I am working on. That means I get to play with Unity, which might be fun as long as I don't break anything >.> heh

In other news, I've looked at a C# tutorial, studied the Hello World program, and was like "No, I'm too lazy to learn this D: Why are there so many dots and stuff!" and closed it.

Sorry, Galen. T_T
Since there's like only a week of school left, I don't think I'll be able to use my study hall and really concentrate on C# either. >.>

If you ever find a handy way to conver C++ to C#, I'll be glad to help, but that ain't happening Dx

Does anyone here have experience working with Gamemaker, keeping in mind that it seems to be mostly C-based?

Skyrunner: I can convert C++ to C# just fine if I need to. Sometimes I make prototype things in C++ / Java and convert over to C# when I get them working how I want since I am more comfortable in both of those languages still. I don't know of any C++ -> C# automatic converters though, might be one a google-search away though so off I go!!!

EDIT!!!

Huzzah, found one! Seems pretty decent, though my internet connection is too sucky to download the demo in a reasonable amount of time. Here's the link: C++ to C# Converter

Also, Skyrunner, join us in the IRC channel?

Whoa, with a $139 price tag I don't think I'd be buying that soon D:

As for IRC, it's bedtime here now. Sorry! D:

Well there is a demo version that can convert quite a bit. Not sure if the demo conversion values are cumulative or at-a-time values. If they are cumulative that would suck. Well, I can always convert the code myself; it would get me some extra experience in both C++ and C# :D

Word of warning, transcribing code is never easy if it's anything beyond a basic word parser. Take it from someone who transcribed an entire C++ project into Java.

Well, when I do code transcription what I usually do is make a logic tree with my pad of paper and some index cards and then solve each problem as I get to it. Usually keeps it looking nice with the same functionality. I try not to do line-by-line transcriptions of code. I will use the same code over again if it is well made and can convert easily though. C++ -> Java? That sounds painful. What was the goal of the project that you were transcribing?

It was an engine for a game I'm somewhat developing in my free time. Something was going wrong, causing pointers passed to a certain function to become NULL inside the function, so I re-wrote it in Java.

That's a bit... erm, inefficient? Did you find out what was going wrong?

Nope. I have absolutely no clue how a pointer goes from non-NULL to NULL, just from being passed to a function. After the function call, it returned to its normal, non-NULL value.

Even though Java is a good way to avoid many c++ specific mistakes, I am still curious as to what went wrong.

Me too. Not to mention the fact that the two are very different compared to, say, C++ vs C(#).

I prototyped a program to convert a base 10 number to a base n number, n is anywhere between 2 and 36. I also thought of the way to make it work with decimals (so, say, 16.0625 in decimals is 10.1 in base 16). The reverse has to be made now, and I think it's going to be less elegant. O_o
