Elysian Shadows

Thanks for the help.

And yeah I'm using OpenGL with glut... at least till I learn the basics.

Elaborate?....please

For some reason, hopefully a simple mistake, all my bullets are shooting at once. I really don't see anything wrong so I figured I would come here. Heres the bullet coding. (yet to put in any velocity or frame rate smoothing) #define BULLETS 5 class Bullet { public: Bullet(); void Update(); void Fir...

Ohh that makes sense. Thanks again for you help.

If you need to do something extra for using the pointer then that's my problem. class Bullet { public: float x; float y; float radius; void bDisplay(); Bullet(float, float, float); }; Bullet::Bullet(float xx, float yy, float rr) { x = xx; y = yy; radius = rr; } void Bullet::bDisplay() { glBegin(GL_L...

Thanks for the reply

Thats what I originally had, but it gave the error "request for member 'y' in 'aBullet', which is of non-class type 'Bullet*'

I have class "Bullet" with x and y declared as public variables. I need to create objects of the class within the program so I tried using a pointer: Bullet *aBullet = new Bullet(ship.x, ship.y + 20, 10); When trying to call the y variable (Bullet::bBullet.y <<< not sure if this is right) ...

Thanks a lot! Worked perfectly. I'll post the working code for future reference: void twtext(char text[]) { raw(); int twdelay = 35; if (strlen(text) >= 25) twdelay = 10; else twdelay = 35; int cb; int i = 0; nodelay(stdscr, true); while ((cb = getch()) && (i < strlen(text))){ if (cb > 0) { ...

I'm trying to create a typewriter effect for a console app and I'm having some trouble with a part of it. I can get the text to display one letter at a time, but I'm having trouble ending the loop if a keypress is found and print the rest of the text. I started with a for loop then went to a while t...

Thanks for the help. This is the preferred method, but I'm not sure where your unique IDs are coming from. I probably should of put more into the example code. This should explain the id's a little better. class testClass { public: int id; int diff; static size_t count; testClass(int); }; size_t arm...

I need to search through a class to find the object who's "id" member variable matches a value. This class object's other member variables will be used for a calculation, but only if the "id" equal. This concept code might help in understanding what I'm trying to do: class testCl...

Thanks for the help. Nanosleep worked for delaying, but it for some reason when the timer is up instead of only printing one letter it prints the whole line of text. Even when I use a while loop for a delay it does the same thing. The code is showing the use of the while loop with the nanosleep meth...

I am making a console app (using a mac and xcode), and I wanted to add a typewriter effect to text. I thought it would be a pretty simple task, but when I run the app the console freezes when it reaches the function. It still accepts user input, but it doesn't continue. #include <iostream> #include ...

Well I started learning c++ today after being inspired by them. I decided to begin with a console rpg. But after getting half the game done, I decided that I wanted a better console experience. I did some research and found ncurses. I installed and started playing around with it. This code has some ...
