Re: Pythagoras theorem for colission detection between squares

I think you would be better off using a normal square collision algorithm, or if you need pixel perfect, then use that.
If you're using trig, then there is usually a simpler way to do it. ;)

Search around the forum for the topics on collision and you'll find more help.

What to use instead of glaux

I'm trying to get lesson 7 on the Nehe tutorial website to work without glaux, but I can't figure out how to do it. Specifically the code having to do with AUX_RGBImageRect objects. I'm sure someone else has figured this out before. So how do you do it? EDIT: I actually just figured it out. Here is ...

Re: Can you copy Project Settings to different projects? (VC++)

I'm trying to copy the project settings from one project in a solution to the rest of the projects in that solution. Is there a way to do that? im sure, but if all else fails just make a template. How do you do that? EDIT: If you highlight multiple projects and then go to properties and change sett...

Re: Array of pointers

Don't you mean i should start at 0? What your doing wrong is simple. You have your array as 10 elements, but your putting new ints at [1] instead of [0]. So the for loop works perfectly, but when you try to access [0] it throws an error. Use this instead. for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) *facepalm*. I ...

Array of pointers [SOLVED]

This seems like a pretty basic thing to me, but I can't figure it out for the life of me :roll: int* testArray[10]; for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { testArray[i] = new int(); *testArray[i] = i; //Why does this work if the below doesn't? } *testArray[0] = 5; //Produces an error cout << *testArray[0]; ...

Re: My breakout clone

That is really awesome. The physics are great and the particles are cool too True, true.. also you gotta love those power-ups/downs. Are there any power-ups? or only that one power-down :P. Anyway there seems to be a small glitch with the physics. The ball got stuck on the left side of the screen a...

Ooops, actually I meant to do:

Code: Select all

battleships[emptyIndex] = new Battleship();
Just a safety thing in case FindEmptyIndex() returns something different.
I know that's what you meant ;)

So I think that should probably work.
Thanks! :)

EDIT: Shouldn't it be:

Code: Select all

if (emptyIndex >= 0)
{
      battleships[FindEmptyIndex()] = new Battleship;
}
