I had thought about doing that, i was just wondering if there was a better way than just loading the fonts you need.

Rush 2112, the second greatest Rush album of all time, its in my username! mv2112. However the greatest Rush album of all time will always be A Farewell To Kings

In my engine i want to have freedom with what text size i can render with, but SDL_TTF only lets you choose 1 text size and you cant re-size it without reloading the text which gets slow. Right now i just pre-load all text sizes from 2-42, incrementing by 2 each time, however this is also inefficien...

The books are more of a reference that you indirectly learn from, of course you cant learn C++ in 24 hours or 21 days, but you can look at the examples in the books and learn by actually programming.

I am a retard:

Yea it is SDL_ttf that is the problem, i've singled it out...

Thanks for the replies, yeah thats pretty much all I can do at the current moment, the book I got didn't go over files or anything else, just syntax and a bit of the STL I had the same book and i know it is truely shit. If I was you i'd get a different book. I have that book also, i would recommend...

Ok, so im writing a function that blits text to the screen, however it keeps crashing on me. I use the same text system to blit text to my text log and it works but this function doesnt work: void TextSystem::Print(std::string input,int x,int y,int width,int height,int r,int g,int b,SDL_Surface * bu...

Yeah... Start developing good coding practices. After you free the memory associated with a pointer, set it to NULL. Item::~Item() { if(image) SDL_FreeSurface(image); image = NULL; } This way, the memory is only freed if it exists, and then it is set to NULL after it is freed. If you try to render ...

I am a retard and here is why: Item::~Item() { SDL_FreeSurface(image); } I copy the item and then delete it when i transfer it from itemsys to itemsys. This calls the destructor so the pointer to the image is NULLed out and SDL causes the crash when the map tries to render the item whos image doesnt...

Im not using iterators though, how would it become undefined? You really should be instead of addressing by index. When you erase and item, the size is decreased, so once you reach the higher end of the loop, you'll be trying to access out of range data. The index i'm searching for isnt the actual ...

Where would i do that?

Ok so i am making an item system and there are these functions //itemsys.h void ItemSys::Transfer(ItemSys*tar,int item_index) { for(int i=0;i<Items.size();i++) { if(Items[i]->GetID()==item_index) { tar->AddItem(Items[i]); //Items is a std::vector<Item*> DeleteItem(item_index); } } } void ItemSys::Ad...
