Elysian Shadows

I'm on windows 7 and have been using paint .NET so far.
However recently I've needed to scale some sprites up by 200% and paint .NET makes my sprite all
blurry so i have to go in and re color everything. So I'm wondering if there is a better way.

How?

Quote of the most important part:

The caller (you!) is responsible for freeing any returned surface.

So I'm supposed to free the surfaces before the program quits?

I had a problem like this once because every frame I was opening the font I was using and then not closing it. Can't say much else without seeing some code. void StateManager::DrawState() { if( state == MAIN_MENU ) { SDL_FillRect( screen, &screen->clip_rect, SDL_MapRGB( screen->format, 0, 0, 0 ...

So my game has hit a stand still because when you run the program for like 5 seconds the memory goes to 100,000k of usage. it fluctuates alot but it's not a memory leak. A memory leak would only go up in a linear fashion right? Anyways I've heard that some people have this problem when rendering cha...

EDIT: Well I tried it and it works now..... For some reason.
But how do I check whether a text file is empty or not?
And how do you add two strings together with a space added to separate them?

Tried that already.

I'm currently working on a new project that I want to have a list of the top 5 high scores but ifstream objects seem to only be able to convert each line into a string. However to print it to the screen I need it to be a char * so I don't know what to do. And another more minor problem is that every...

Do you mind posting your ApplySurface() function? Nope void ApplySurface( int x, int y, SDL_Surface* source, SDL_Surface* destination ) { //Make a temporary rectangle to hold the offsets SDL_Rect offset; //Give the offsets to the rectangle offset.x = x; offset.y = y; //Blit the surface SDL_BlitSurf...

Well Actually the getting stuck on top thing was just me being a dumbass.
But I think I found an SDL library for collision so I'll see how that works.

bool checkCollision( SDL_Rect A, SDL_Rect B ) { //The sides of the rectangles int leftA, leftB; int rightA, rightB; int topA, topB; int bottomA, bottomB; //Calculate the sides of rect A leftA = A.x; rightA = A.x + A.w; topA = A.y; bottomA = A.y + A.h; //Calculate the sides of rect B leftB = B.x; ri...

Currently I'm working on a base engine for all projects to come. It's almost done, I just have to implement collision detection. But for some reason it goes all fluky.

The framelimiter calculates how much time each frame has to its disposal, if it doesn't utilize all that time the rest is put in a delay. Here you're just dividing the start time with the amount of frames that's been drawn, which makes no sense. You need to take the current ticks and subtract the t...
