Elysian Shadows

Hey all, I am currently following some C++ tutorials. Whilst doing this I am applying the code to make a random game. So far I have a game menu. I really aint sure how this is going to turn out, Im just making it up as I go along. But as its just a console application Im imaging it will be some sort of text adventure game. I will keep you all posted as time goes on.

Sounds like a cool idea
I'll be keeping watch on this, most definitely.

Not really done much so far. I have changed from VC++ to Dev C++. It seems to work as I expected. Redone all my code so far and added the ability for multi coloured text. Going to start designing my player and monster classes soon and create some basic battle system. Then need to design some sort of file structure to hold level information in, which may be quite a challenge.

Why would you do this?

I was just having problems with VC++ earlier on. WHen Ive run more or less identical code in Dev C++ Im getting less errors. Aint sure why this is.

Visual c++ has a better debugger maybe? lol

Guess I might try it again in VC++ now I have sorted out the header file problems that I had before. And VC++ does look prettier as well, lol.

I'd suggest using Code::Blocks instead. VC++ is very old and outdated, never updated anymore. Code::Blocks, Eclipse, or NetBeans (I think it has a C++ environment?) are decent alternatives to Visual Studio.

Wait what? Are we talking about the same thing?

I use this and love it.

Edit: at least I thought...

OK Ive finally got VC++ working the way I want it to, for now. Think my previous problems were my lack of knowledge in VC++ 2008. Just had a look at MSDN and it turns out that before when I was selecting a CLR COnsole App for my project I was doing it wrong. Ive now done it as a Win32 Console app with no precompiled headers and it works just fine. Totally different from when I did C++ at uni years and years ago as we used VC++ 6 back then. Shame I aint really touched it since then up until now.

Netbeans - nod nod- ! Very good editor in my book!

Aye, get your IDE sorted and get to work, programming isn't easy

Look forward to seeing your progress!
