Just convention, I think. Parenthesis make it look like a function when its an operator. I've never actually seen it used like that before.

Okay guys... I just had fucking TWELVE shots of Captain Morgans' spiced Rum. Fucking TWELVE. Imagine how fucked I am. Rofl!! Good thing I'm not dumb enough to fuck with the toolkit's source. XD I love you guys. Thx. I had a night like that while playing a drinking game. I haven't touched rum since.

Just started playing with SFML about an hour ago. Fuuuck, why have I been such a little SDL gay baby for so long? This shit owns.

This is C# with XNA.

^ Yep. You'll wanna do something like this accessing the properties instead of creating new instances. vertices = new VertexPositionColor[3]; vertices[0].Position = new Vector3(-0.5f, -0.5f, 0f); vertices[0].Color = Color.Red; vertices[1].Position = new Vector3(0, 0.5f, 0f); vertices[1].Color = Colo...

Good lord, I don't even know where to start or even if I should. If your intention is to be helpful, you're not doing a very good job of it. if u have done technology studies or physics u will know that a XOR gate is the opposite of an OR gate The "opposite" of an OR gate is a NOR gate. Ex...

For collision of things like entities and trees, you could try having their collision bounds be a circle at their base. Then if you walk into something offset a bit, you can have your character slightly slide over to be able to get around the object, ala Zelda: Link to the Past. I'll give a hint to ...

This... this is what I suggested...

Your functions in the second example need to be pass by reference.
edit: Wait, hold on, I'm drunk. You're doing something different, I think.

I've used alpha images in a shmup with hundreds of objects on screen and it still runs well over 200 FPS. Its kind of a non-issue unless you're porting SDL to the DS or something.

Unfortunately that doesn't quite work with SDL. If it were OpenGL (or even SFML IIRC), it'd be fine. But SDL's alpha is crazy slow so colorkeying is his best bet.

SDL_image would be plenty fine for a game of Tic-Tac-Toe.

so how would you go about changing a surfaces picture, should I just say tilesheet = IMG_Load("water.png"); or tilesheet = IMG_Load("dessert.png"); ? that is all I am really want to do, as you can see by compiling it with random pictures (with the right names) that are 128x128. ...

I don't see you polling for events anywhere, so your mouse functionality isn't going to work. I kept on getting a segmentation fault when I changed tileSheet by pressing 1,2, or 3. so I took away the SDL_FreeSurface() for desert, water, and grass, and it screw up anymore, is this the correct way of ...
