I came across this code that compiles and runs (XCode, iOS) but it definitely isn't initializing the contents of the array. I'm pretty certain it's got to be doing something nasty. Can anyone explain this? std::string* myStrings = new std::string[4] { "Apples", "Oranges", "B...

You pretty much have 2 options. Option 1: Choose an older version of OpenGL and make sure you don't use any functionality that is newer than that version. This is a good choice for most indies because most of us aren't trying to do anything cutting edge, graphics wise. GL 2.1 is a pretty popular ver...

I've been working on a project for a little over a month now, it's got a per-pixel destructible environment similar to Worms. I've reached a point where I could use some help trying to solve an issue I'm faced with though. My method of "destroying" the environment is to simply take circle-...

If I'm understanding this correctly, the solution is to always spend $0 on pest control because as the number of pests increases, so does the number of tourists. This doesn't make sense

Yep, thanks short. You're example was great, showed me how to use a DFA to get my regex :D

Ginto, that's the same answer that I got

Gah, I meant to write exactly two 0's. Thanks for all the replies, I skimmed them and short seems to know exactly what I'm talking about. Gonna read your reply in more detail and reply back. The class I'm in is also called Theory of Computation. Edit: Thank you very much short! The key is to constru...

Not technically a programming question since this is a theoretical CS question, but sort of relevant. I need to give a regular expression for a language that contains an odd number of 1's or exactly two 0's. The alphabet is {0, 1}. Here's my attempt, idk if this is correct or not. (1* 0 1* 0 1*) OR ...

You forgot to include all the .dlls for SDL, SDL_image and SDL_ttf. I played it for a couple minutes because no offence but, pong is pong. Good work for your first game

Yep sorry, should have been camera.y. There is no problem starting the for loop at 0 when rendering, it's just inefficient and easily made more efficient. I changed it because I had to change the rendering loop anyway in the code I posted. In my sample TILE_SIZE is the width/height of a single tile....

When you are indexing into map[][], it looks like you're using the tiles screen position instead of world position. Also, you don't need to be storing positions in your tiles if your tiles are in a grid. You should be doing something like this when you lay a tile (assuming origin is in the top left ...

Can we see the code where you actually lay new tiles?

IDEs and compilers are not the same thing. IDEs are just fancy text editors that include a compiler and a bunch of other useful features to make things easier. A compiler is a program that actually transforms source code into it's compiled form (usually used as a command line tool). So even if you d...

From my understanding, it does have an impact on compile time... The inclusion of a header takes place before the code is actually compiled and (from what I understand) more or less "copies and pastes" the header into whatever file. Mainly this. Also, it's easier to glance at a header fil...

Well, I'm running win7 64-bit so that's not an issue. You said:

Does the program exit successfully if you immediately return from your main function before doing anything?

That code runs perfectly fine for me :S
