Now that you've gone with pro, I'd just like to add that when you compile your program, you still can't distribute the debug version. That's illegal. You have to compile it in release mode if you plan to distribute it.

I, personally, would look up some pathfinding algorithms. There's a collection here: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#paths . Edit: The motivation for using such algorithms is for situations with obstacles between point A and point B. The way you have it set up, your characte...

I just learned about another link between math and programming too: In my C++ class back in '07, when talking about cin and cout, my professor mentioned something called a source and a sink. Oddly enough, in my vector calculus class, when we talked about vector fields, the terms source and sink were...

I hope that's what you are looking for.

EXACTLY what I'm looking for.

This summer I intend to learn the different programming paradigms. The question is: how can I do this most effectively? Here's the breakdown of the paradigms as they're often described: 1. Logic programming 2. Functional programming 3. Object-oriented programming 4. Imperitive programming To learn t...

LazyFoo talks about it a little bit, although I haven't read the article.

Good luck. ^.^

Omg.
Quines are EVIL!

Here's a twist: Write a program that reads in a text file and determines whether it is it's own source code. (Note: Cannot read the source file).

I congratulate your eagerness to get into C++, but just because it's standard in the industry, doesn't mean it's always used to learn how to program. Sure, many people take that route, but there are much easier languages to pick up than C++. Personally, I have no preference. I learned C++ first, but...

To make Firefox check textboxes, type about:config into address bar, then go to layout.spellCheckDefault and change the value to 2.

Someone else mentioned the same thing. It will be done

Thank you so much.

Thanks for the encouragement, BlueMonkey.

Is there anyone who could read through my article on introduction to Dreamcast development, so that it's more polished when I submit it to gamedev.net?

I'd appreciate it.

Well, I'm sitting in the lab with no one to tutor, so I'll share my story: I'd been wanting to get into Dreamcast development for a long time, but I didn't think I had the skill set. Plus, I was unaware of the availability of KallistiOS, which is the only tool that makes development feasible. At fir...

I should add that it sometimes is used to describe development for a cell phone.
