Dangit, my use of Python and Perl the past week has spoiled me D:

It's sooooooo convenient and easy to work with...

I'm not gonna say I told you so :D

I have actually experienced something vaguely similar in C++, due to compiler differences. It's undefined behaviour what a function returns if it has a non-void return type but no return statement in the body. MSVC will throw a compiler error (except in the cases where only some branches of the body have no return), while gcc will happily compile (there might be a warning) and just return some garbage value when the function is called.

This is one of many reasons why compiling with -Werror is a good idea.

I'm using jGrasp.
So I installed jGrasp, and here's what you have to do to make your project use LWJGL: Make a new project. Go to Settings -> Compiler Settings -> PATH -> CLASSPATHS -> New -> Jar File -> Browse, look for and select lwjgl.jar.
Then in the same window, go to Compiler -> Java -> Flags/Args/Main, and in the left column for "Run" and "Debug", insert -Djava.library.path=<PATH>, where <PATH> needs to be the path to your OS's native folder for LWJGL.
That should be all.

Are you sure the native file path is right? jGrasp can't seem to find it.

I ran a game of mine, and it worked fine. Are you sure you picked the right native path? For example, my OS is Linux, so my runtime argument would look like this:
Code: [Select]
-Djava.library.path=/foo/bar/lwjgl-2.9.1/native/linux/
You have to link to the folder with your OS's natives.

Spoiler: Ignore (click to show/hide)

EDIT4: Or I might just be a dumbass and using things in ways that they aren't meant to be used.

Much better.

I'm still confused about how the hell I got the circular pattern shown in the first image.

So I submitted a really simple game for some coursework. Bullet hell shooter, three types of randomly spawned enemies, written in C++ and SFML and compilable for Windows and Android. And immediately after submission I discover a bug: All difficulties would become the highest after 10 kills. Ooops. Turns out I forgot an else statement, so the difficulty progression would immediately advance to the highest possible difficulty...

So I e-mailed a patch to my lecturer and just have to hope he applies it and doesn't mark me down xD My own fault, I wrote the game quickly and hackily. There's a reason I'm a TDD advocate, and it's that for all my intelligence and completely justified god complex I can be a right idiot sometimes :)

Yeah, it's not like any REAL game developer would ever make that sort of mistake! (*cough cough TFTD*)

You should've just said that it's intentional.

HARDCORE!

Come to think of it, I'm not sure the games we made for our game design course had to be winnable... so maybe it's no big deal.  :)

Incidentally, my team made a bullet hell game too.  That was a fun class but I almost went nuts trying to finish coding that on top of everything else that semester.  I'm very thankful we decided to use XNA and C# instead of pure C++.  It would never have been finished on time.

It seems that of my many efforts, there won't be many finished projects to show to a university when applying. >_> Is an unfinished project better than nothing? :x

I also haven't gotten around to writing about the techniques I used in each project. <_<

When I applied to college I don't think there even was any mention of showing off projects or a portfolio.  If there was, it wasn't more than just writing what you'd done, and certainly didn't entail sending code or even screenshots to anyone.  Some honors colleges at some universities might be different?

In either case, I suspect a partial project is better than nothing.  Especially if it shows interesting problem solving methods or techniques.

I'm having trouble getting a Python Curses module to work on Windows. I downloaded PDCurses and Unicurses, and I can import them with my IDE, but when I run programs using their functions nothing happens. Could it just be that I need a different IDE, or did I just screw up when installing stuff?

If nothing happens then its probably imported fine.  If it didn't import then it would give a python error and stack trace.  Assuming the IDE reports the output fine that is.

But none of the Unicurses or PDCurses functions are doing anything
