C++ game and homework (plus ninjas)

Posted by Firebird on Aug. 31, 2006, 2:15 a.m.

Okay, another blog. Not quite as long as the previous one this time, but since I typed this bit first, I can't really tell. It might be longer. You never know.

I finally got back into C++ and made my first game with it. It sucks. The only image is a picture of 'LOL!' made with the spray can in paint. And the collisions are buggy, but eh.

Download the game here.

It also seems theman has found GM to be boring now, and he's coding thingies in C++ as well. I'll be improving this game, so expect regular updates as I go along. Maybe a few dev blogs along the way.

Homework. Oh god. It's nearing the end of my school term and the teachers are laying it on thick. I've got some board game crap to do for SOSE (History + Geography = SOSE), a biology project (well, kinda. make a model of a cell and a speech), some P.E. things about growth and development and more. Not to mention the normal homework… I've gotta do this huge Japanese wordfind. Oh well, it should provide some distraction.

Nothing much else has been happening, really. I seem to be getting on the GMC more often now, but my posts aren't really the nicest around. But they work. Anyway, no one cares about that topic, so lets move on, shall we?

I know I promised ninjas, and they will feature in the next blog… or something. I dunno. Maybe I'll make some kind of thing in C++ again that I'll want to show you. Maybe not. Yeah, I'm rambling. I'll go now.

Keep L337,

Firebird out!

[End of blog]

[Start of mystery]

Mystery #1 answer -

fprefect111 killed melee-master. I'll put some meaning behind the next mystery.

Mystery #2 -

Why has Spen.Ser45's mouse stopped working?

1. I dunno, maybe he screwed something up?

2. Wrong drivers. Or old ones.

3. Some kind of corruption to do with… viruses.

4. Is it fixed yet? >_>

5. I don't know why it stopped. Get a new mouse.

Okay, next mystery, no predefined answers. Maybe a crime mystery or something.

I use XNA which has C# Code

I don't think XNA has been released yet… has it?

Also, the 'game' was okay… I guess. I understand how hard it is to start a new language. :) But the controls fllickered on and off… was that intentional? And what IDE do you use?

Eternal 18 years, 2 months ago

My mistake, I guess you are using the Express version Beta.

Dev-C++, foo'

BTW, it's diuble-buffering so the controls do flicker occasionally.

And baziiboi, I highly doubt you would know how to even use C#.

well thats a lot better than I've ever done in Dev-C++. All I managed to make was a "hello world" program which made beeping sounds and did the classic "press any key to continue".
