Elysian Shadows

I have changed my mind: Nintendo, you cannot continue ignoring me. There is nobody like me. I have created the entire game, start to finish. I am far better than Miyamoto, Itoi, Kojima, Carmack, and Wright COMBINED. NONE of these "designers" could create the entire thing if their lives dep...

That's what I figured you had meant, it shouldn't hurt to leave it both places, correct? Or should it only be in Image?

Should only be in Image.

Yeah, it does free it. However, since Image class allocates the memory for the SDL_Surface in the first place and takes ownership of the pointer to it, it should also be responsible to free it as well. tileSheet->Load( file_tilesheet, TILE_WIDTH, TILE_HEIGHT, TILE_SPRITES ); tileSheet is a member va...

You also have memory leaks: #ifndef IMAGE_H_INCLUDED #define IMAGE_H_INCLUDED #include <string> #include "SDL/SDL.h" class Image{ private: SDL_Surface *image; public: int Load( std::string filename ); SDL_Surface *GetSurface() { return image; } }; #endif // IMAGE_H_INCLUDED How does the SD...

To stop this from happening in the future, get into the habit of putting your constants/literals on the left of equality tests: So when you make the mistake of: Your compiler will spit out an actual error.

From a very quick glance: Level *test; test->Load( mapname, tilesheet ); test->Draw(); Doesn't need to be a pointer: Level test; test.Load( mapname, tilesheet ); test.Draw(); In int Level::Load( std::string file_map, std::string file_tilesheet ): Always pass objects as references and const whenever ...

:) But good job in putting .size() in the initialization statement instead of as the stop condition, lots of new folks put it in the stop condition and then their for loop runs slower than necessary. Arguably by a very tiny amount especially for a loop that small and assuming the compiler doesn't o...

C++ strings FTW.

SVN, git, CVS, Perforce.

That is small enough. Post the whole project.

Without code, it is a little difficult to help. My guess is that it is due to a memory stump. Going beyond the bounds of an array, deleting something off the stack, uninitialised variables, double deleting, etc. Are you building and running in Debug mode? Are you running the project with the debugge...

Level::~Level() { for( int i = mapData.size(); i >= 0; i-- ) { delete mapData[i]; } mapData.clear(); writeLog("Map Unloaded from memory\n"); } Should be: Level::~Level() { for( int i = mapData.size()-1; i >= 0; i-- ) { delete mapData[i]; } mapData.clear(); writeLog("Map Unloaded from...

SFML and Allegro are both higher level libraries then SDL which may be more suitable for a 2D game.

I am not really a sports spectator person but I do find cricket extremely boring.

Back on your code, a co-worker pointed out interestingly that it can be extended to run as parallel processes which is a huge advantage as you have multiple sentinels/messages going through the network.

This looks similar to your model.

What warning level is your compiler set to?

I had a proper look at the algorithm so let's see if I get this right in regards to the diagram I made above: 1) Initiate a message from A. A has a message 2) First iteration, go through all the nodes, if a node has a message, then iterate through all the nodes it is connected to and give them the m...
