Elysian Shadows

I'm actually quite proud of myself for figuring that out before looking at this :P

So I'm taking Java this semester and my professor doesn't really cover much of the how to part of the language. Was looking for a little help. Here's the assignment: Instructions: Create a Java class, named Homework1, and a main method. Create a String literal, s, with the value of "Hello World...

I think I will try to post up progress here, since I need to get in the habit of documenting my work. ( I love organization but hate taking the time to organize). By text based RPG, I mean I mean trying a old school phantasy star style game except with text replacing the graphics. I figure that way ...

Okay so I was in the shower thinking about game development (weird huh?) and how I should probably start practicing it and working on building a set of skills to use in the near future. Instantly, I was thinking about a ton of ideas on how to make a decent text based RPG, but quickly I became overwh...

if you don't mind, and have the time, I'd actually enjoy looking at a clone of mine being properly written. And like I said, I know it was nowhere near efficient so thanks for the tips.

Final version of my tictactoe, for anyone interested. The AI is no good (since it is absent) but the fun comes in trying to make O win. #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; string spaces5 = " ";//time saver string& s5 = spaces5; string underscore5 = "_____&qu...

why do you want a list of references for tic tac toe. with the way I was writing it, it seemed like the most logical/ easiest way to go about doing it. Then again, that might just be the way I was thinking/ how my mind works. anyway, I went to using my original code (mainly cause I understood it) a...

ahh right..... hmm I see that it draws everything but, I can't really read it. the whole this->pointer I haven't really covered yet. and I deffinately don't know what this does: SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord); } still new to C++ so that may be why I'm not understand...

right, I understand about the one function part but, other than that, I'm lost. Did you mean your code was decent design or mine was?

anyway, does C++ allow an array of referances?:

nope still same error

string xy1 = " ";//top left answer string xy2 = " ";//top middle answer string xy3 = " ";...... string **p = (string**)malloc(2*sizeof(string));// get a pointer to a pointer *p[0] = xy1; *p[1] = xy2; *p[2] = xy3; *p[3] = xy4; *p[4] = xy5; *p[5] = xy6; *p[6] = xy7; *p[7]...

~scratches head~ that's not what it is??

well..... ~whistles like he knows anyway~

okay I think you answered my question. To clarify, I was basically asking if the user could select which variable to store their answer in, depending on their input. Say,(in the case of tictactoe) if they put 1 then square1 would be the variable that is changed or if they say 2 then square2 and so o...

Okay, I'm trying to get into game development and I learn best by watching and seeing how something is done. I was wondering if anyone is working on a project that needs some gruntwork that would be easy to learn, just time consuming and therefor their current team doesn't want to do it. here's my q...

Just wondering if I can use a pointer to take the input of a user and point to a different variable? Like if cin is 1 then the pointer goes to x and if its 2 it goes to y. If it's not pointers that I can do that with can someone tell me how?
