At first glance:
This looks like a line to me.

I was just pulling fun at the "everyone". I gotcha. I was dodging the accusation. :P Ya know...at times I feel that I missed out on portions of college by living at home. Suddenly, I feel much better. I only lived in the dorms my freshmen year. There's pros and cons to each, but I think I...

I first started the show a couple months ago and marathoned the whole thing within a couple weeks just in time for the finale. Totally worth it. The ending was beautifully done.

I'd say that SDL is better for beginners because of its simplicity and the fact that Lazyfoo exists. SFML is much simpler than SDL and the tutorials on their website is formatted better than LazyFoo. It's also a lot more powerful right off the bat without needing a bunch of extension libraries. So ...

I was wondering why I had never seen this thread before, but then realized it was once your artwork dump. You have some amazing sprite skills.

Are you using the iPhone SDK or something like Unity?

How about an example of comments that I hate? /* this function computes something */ int computeStuff(int n) { ... } People using block comments for a single line pisses me off. Then when you want to comment out a huge chunk of code with /* */ it closes at the end of the function comment instead of ...

A social science could be useful, because if you better know how people process information, that could lead...

That's the point. The 'delete' operator checks for non-null.

Thanks, i'll try that. and what do you mean 'costly' will it slow the game? If you look up the definitions of sine and cosine, you see they are summations of a bunch of factorials and high exponentials. Extremely slower than basic addition and subtract, but on modern computers, you would notice any...

We need to see more code. What scope is 'flip' in?

#include <string> is in your header, so you don't need to include it again in the cpp. Also, I'd go with #ifndef over #pragma.

Play around with a few lossless video codecs to find one that works for you. Just be prepared to have 5 minute videos that are over a gigabyte.
