Make a C++ Debug Prompt?
Is it possible?

No. Not without having a C++ compiler/interpreter going in real-time.
It would be infinitely more easy to make an in-game assembly debug prompt. It would be an extremely platform specific endeavor, but it's very possible to do it on anything (Dreamcast even).

Thanks for the reply.
BTW What about a random number generator function that would take the minimum and maximum number it could genereate?

rand() and being a little bit of a smartass will work.
Where number is equal to min+number of random numbers = max random number.
So if you want 10-20 randomly:

Code: Select all
int random_range(int min, int max)
{
return rand()%(max-min)+min;
}
personally i would make it like this.
Code: Select all
double random(double min, double max)
{
return (rand()/((double)(RAND_MAX)+1.0))*(max-min)+min;
}
that way you get a double back. its not better. its just nice when you need a random number with a bit more "meaning"
you can just use an int case on the call if you just need an int value.
(int)random(lower, upper);
anyways.

Thanks, avansc. I had a hard time putting what I meant into words. Your first function is exactly what I was trying to say.

Thanks guys the random_range function works perfectly.
Sweet!
Edit: Now back to work
