Hmm, does it work if you do:

fseek(examplefile,0,SEEK_SET);

instead of

fseek(examplefile,-sizeof(long),SEEK_CUR);
That indeed works, though I have no idea why.

Its got to be some kind of implementation difference.

This sort of implies that in binary files the offset has to be from origin, but maybe different compilers do it differently?  Out of curiosity, what compiler are you using?  I'm using g++ on windows(compiled for cygwin).

I was using the GNU GCC compiler.

and indeed, using fopen(filepath,"rb+"); in my other projects solved the problem there. (I missed that at first since you edited your post while I was typing a reply)

Ptw, will probably frequent here this smer when I attempt to make a game on Project spark which has a rather (ok very) simplified system for coding

I'm looking at learning C#, but I'm afraid I'm rather broke at  the moment, and can't really afford Microsoft Visual Studio. I don't suppose somebody could point me towards a decent free IDE for the language?

Mono is pretty neat. I use the version of it that comes with Unity.
Visual Studio Express edition is also free and pretty much the same as the pricey one but with fewer bells and whistles.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

MSVS Community edition is basically MSVS Ultimate without the pricetag, and a stipulation that you can't make money off it I think.

Oh, thanks. I didn't know MSVS Community was a thing. Though, looking at Mono, I think I'm gonna go with that, at least for the time being.

Also MSVC express has been a free C# suite since forever.

Also, mono is pretty terrible after using MSVC

Where visual studio really shines isn't the compiler so much as the debugger. Community edition even has their profiling tools built in for finding performance issues! AMD also provide a free profiler called CodeXL, which on AMD hardware can show you real low-level black-magic information like cache misses.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

If the normal Mono IDE is anything like the one that comes with Unity, then in my own experience it's awful. Intellisense randomly breaks, the tab GUI elements are busted, collapsed code uncollapses after saving, occasional crashes, random prolonged freezing etc. The compiler (as far as the one in Unity goes, anyway) works pretty fine though.

I quite like Visual Studio, and personally would recommend that.

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

I'm taking a class in Java this semester. As someone who's mainly experienced in C++ (with a little Python experience as well) any advice from those who know Java?

That's it.
No. By a long shot it isn't.
Further differences: Objects are always held by reference, not by value; there are no structs, no typedefs, no macros, no templates, no preprocessor, no operator overloading, no multiple inheritance, no header files, no destructors, and more things I'm sure I'm just not remembering right now.
