Re: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

FFIV (4) or 2? Edit: looks like you meant 4, since youre talking about cecil, where did you get 2 from? Its known as ff2 sometimes because final fantasy 3 was the first final fantasy game to be released outside of japan, hence ff4 in japan is commonly known as ff2.] Most people these days just stic...

Re: Xbox 360: Project Natal

As much as I dislike Microsoft, that is pretty impressive. The question is will it be as impressive as they've made it look or will it be a flop?

Re: Ideas to make money.

The biggest problem for me with respect to web development is connections, getting a client. It's why I tried those bidding sites which are a waste of time because they are always spammed with a hundred people who "have been doing it for 15 years!" fuck that bid shit for a nobody. I agree...

Re: How much could I expect to make with a 4-6 year comp science

That's why we get a lot more support in the UK, I think the idea is that we get part time jobs (they even have vacancies for uni staff in most places) but nearly everyone gets some grant, and everyone can get some loans that are a lot easier to pay back than some of the stuff you hear about in the ...

Re: How much could I expect to make with a 4-6 year comp science

Oh! and if you live in Scotland, university is free! (actually loads of stuff is free in Scotland, funded by the UK government) But I don't live in Scotland. I do :) I'm fairly sure of that fact, but just to make sure, is it? (from what people have told me and where i've read it seems plausible) Ye...

Re: RiverInvaders

Hi gordon, Looks good, but you haven't capped the framerate. It's way too fast :) Using SDL_GetTicks() gives you the amount of time that has passed since initialization in milliseconds (providing the SDL_INIT_TIMER flag was sent to SDL_Init(), or just SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING). You can leverage that to ...

This if (x > 5){ if (input == "Y"){ cout << "Correct!"; } else { cout << "Wrong."; } } else { if (input == "N"){ cout << "Correct!"; } else { cout << "Wrong."; } } could be condensed to //"Correct" if x is greater than 5 and the ...

That is some crazy weird indentation. ;)
Yeah I apologise for that. TAB , SPACE etc can do unexpected things within a webbrowser.....

Re: Help on a game.

I would help you with the program but I'm a little busy so I'll just answer one of your questions. Edit: Was also wondering how to remove that "Press any key to continue" at the end of console applications. The message comes with the: system("PAUSE"); Remove that and your program...

RiverInvaders

I'm just posting to show my first 'finished' game, I say finished loosely as its only finished in the sense that it has a purpose, it still has many flaws which I will never go back and fix. I won't be making any further changes to this as when I was creating it I got quite lazy and my code is an un...
