[SDL] Shooting and Hello World!

[newbie1234]

Hmm, I imagine that the code for Update() function should look like something like this:

Code: Select all

Bullet::Update()
{
      if( direction == 1 )
      {
           x++;
      }
      
      if( direction == 0 )
      {
           x--;
      }
}

What do you guys think?

Yeah, that'll do the trick.

I'm a fan of having Direction being 1 and -1, then you can do this:

Code: Select all

Bullet::Update()
{
     x += 1 * direction;
}

Either way works, of course.

This also allows you to switch directions easily:

Code: Select all

direction *= -1;

/flex

Code: Select all

direction *= -1;

/flex

Nice invert, been hitting the gym lately?


I'm thinking you might need a constant for the speed as well...
and lets not forget up and down: -2,2

Code: Select all

	if((direction % 2)==0) {
			y += speed * direction/2;
	}else{
			x += speed * direction;
	}

just kidding

I believe THIS is the correct quote:
“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to sell fish and he eats steak.”

Actually, the correct one is: “Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.” - Karl Marx.
