Re: sdl, windows 7 weirdness?

Is he running the program from his IDE? Maybe the execution directory is the project folder and you have all your images in the /bin folder?

Re: Post Your C++ Templates.

Really the only templates I have at the moment are for Rects and color structs, so that I don't have to make another class for a rect/etc. using floats if it uses ints by default ;) This and the STL seem to me the only useful application of templates, at the moment ;) Though, if I find another good...

Re: Interesting Lua Fact...

If you load a .lua file it gets compiled and than executed.

Re: Interesting Lua Fact...

By my calculation if there is a 35% reduction, that means that the default Lua setup would be roughly ~35k. Is it really that much?

He did state that he wasn't about to make one..he just wanted some info. A lot of 'noobs' do ask how to make em and it is annoying but we should be willing to help people who are genuinely after information and don't use RPG maker ;) He stated that he does not want to make an MMO but a ORPG and tha...

Re: Just a quick question

Can you guys tell me if this is a good approach for making a tile engine? I created a layer class which loads the file, and turns it into a layer. Then I have a map class which stores layers. Finally in my draw code I call map.draw() which loops through all the layers in that map and draws them. So...
