p.s. I prefer to statically link as many libraries I use as possible, so my program's directory isn't full with dll's however the file size is always alot larger.

in windows the exe will look for libraries in 2 places, unless otherwise specified in the code. first it will look in the local directory, then in system32 or whatever its called these days. id first go look to see if the dll is not in that directory either.

What's your screen resolution, i'v noticed that if the screen res of your computer is the same as the engine, it crashes cuz it tries to make a windows the same size as the screen. Plus, i haven't upoaded the new engine yet.

Engine res is 1024x768.
To make it smaller, edit the engine.mv file and change 1024 to whatever and 768 to whatever, same with the map editor.

That was the problem. You might want to put that in the README. The only problem is that it's impossible to see the whole map when you change the resolution. That'll go away once you add tile scrolling (you are going to add that, aren't you?).

main.cpp // uses instance of engine class to power app/game

class Engine; // handles player & tiles

class Entity; // basic base for renderable's e.g. int x, int y, Init(string filename), Update(), Draw()
class Player : public Entity; // player class
class Tile : public Entity; // tile class
..etc

Have a skim through this thread, it may help -> http://thechaosrift.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 999#p53934


Also could you describe your Engine structure? So we can see what might need improvement e.g.

Code: Select all

main.cpp // uses instance of engine class to power app/game

class Engine; // handles player & tiles

class Entity; // basic base for renderable's e.g. int x, int y, Init(string filename), Update(), Draw()
class Player : public Entity; // player class
class Tile : public Entity; // tile class
..etc
