Awesome! The music - I love it! How did you make that?

I happen to have acquired a copy of Visual C++ 6.0
Will this work on Vista or Windows 7?
Also, is such an old version recommended?

I hear that some of the high-end 4k and 1k demo makers are still using this version. Think I read a guide by iq (from rgba) where he tells which reasons he has for using it.

And for the stupid and silly questions you might have, don't think less of yourself for that. We have all been there - going from some simple IDE to a quite big one like Visual Studio takes some getting used to.
I just started using Idea IntelliJ at work - I feel the pain all over again.

Pixel_Outlaw, if you find anything that can be used on both linux and windows without any libraries or too much stuff, would you please either PM me or let us know in this thread? I have been thinking about the same thing once in a while

Hi,

I am at work now, so I haven't looked through the posts Jim linked. So I'm not exactly sure what you want, but if it's what I think it is you could try using ncurses if you want it on linux. (Since you were "afraid it was windows dependent" I figure you wanted for something else). ncurses should do the trick on linux.
If this doesn't make any sense, then just disregard my reply. Hope it helps though.

Sometimes cin.get() takes something from buffer (or something), I think I heard.

Try doing a cin.get(ch).get(ch);

Code Select Expand


#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
char ch;
cin.get(ch).get(ch);
return 0;
}


I know it isn't pretty, but it should work. You would maybe be able to do cin.get().get(). I thought I could too, but g++ started whining about it.

Looks awesome.. And I especially like the girl I have been wondering whether I shouldn't make something similar...

Cool effect I've gotta try it out . Thanks man

Hi,

I have never done collision detection between circle and rectangle before. But when I read your question, it struck me - Can't you describe your rectangle as a area with four straight lines as borders? And then you can check whether the circle hits any of your lines. You get my point? I'm at school right now, so I'm not able to code an example, but if you still have problems tomorrow, I shall code a little sometin sometin for ya

Happy coding

It's awesome...

Thanks a lot for the source as well, think I can learn a lot from it. I like the effects, and I hope I some day can be just as creative by myself

Sure if you send me the code

I just release a demo on our own website which has partly this code (not the transform stuff but a bit of zooming)
If you wanna see feel free and drop me some feedback..

Cheers,

hehe I can post the code, if you promise not to laugh I write really shitty code... But do you have link for your demo? I'd like to see it, if I may do so

@Dextro:
I have created you a small image that should explain what i mean with the transformation and how it may/could work. Hope the image is good enough to understand...  first you see just your texture where you can draw your scroller on... next you will the texture and its vertices... at least you will see, how it could look like when transforming (moving) the vertices (points).

Thanks dude.. I'm just stealing that idea, if that is ok with you

I myself have almost started out programming C++ for real. I have been playing around with "hello world" and loops before, but it is first now that I have bought a book and are really doing some real coding. I would recommend the book called "C++ Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata. It's a straight forward book with good examples with explanation.
For compiler you have two options. Download the Visual Studio or Dev-C++ from Bloodshed (What Shockwave said). I would recommend you starting with Dev-C++. It's   a small download and it is very easy to use. You just say "New -> Source Code" and then you are ready to code. In Visual Studio you have to create a project first and so on. Right now I'm using Visual Studio though, as I'm doing some bigger projects than "hello world" and loops But C++ is kinda nice, I wish you a great journey through it.

The day I understand pointers that well, I think I will be good at C++ My idea of pointers is that they are wise to stay away from
