I see your point there ... Thanks for the advice

Well, I wan't really trying to make an engine, this was just meant to be practice at my skills of combining the two. I think I'll carry it out till the performance drops, but just keep it at a practice level. Also, why is lots of scripting a bad engine, Is it because it pushers too much work on the ...

Hey there :) I've just started (pretty much) integrating lua with c++, and as a test for myself I decided to see if I could create a c++ program that lets lua use graphics and stuff. Because I've never done something like this before I thought it would be a good challenge, and having started it I'm ...

@Rebornxeno I don't want to continue the flaming here, but you are talking about how he should be helped, but posting massive attacks at the other members of the forum, this isn't helping his situation. In my experience on other forums, a few lines usually means that they haven't tried too hard at i...

I wouldn't say so lol, it doesn't generate pretty things all the time.

untrue. Your creation looks simply awesome

okay, thanks

I meant like persisting globals between scripts, or is that what you were saying ?

that's cool But doesn't that mean no globals for scripts? or is that a good thing as its more OO?

This is at the moment a theoretical for me, but I remember in an AiGD Falco said something about having a continuous script running through the game with its only infinite loop. My question is, was this achieved with co-routines or is there a need for a sneaky alternative

took a while, but hooray

That looks nice :) The reason why I was telling him to use alpha was that even though the bit that he wanted to show was blue and the colour key was pink, it still didn't show the blue... that kinda stumped me. Alpha would fix that short term, but do you know of this error/glitch happening before? b...

Well, you are using PNG's so just go into gimp(free) or photoshop(not free) and add an alpha channel. Alpha channels are transparent, so you can draw over them and it will be seen, but if you don't wnat to draw over a bit it will be invisible. http://www.sdltutorials.com/sdl-image/ This tutorial sho...

I am not quite sure why this is happening because the top that goes missing is blue not pink, but removing the colour key that you set in your image load function lets the program pritn out the top of the screen as it should

can you post the link when you've uploaded

I guess I might as well have a poke around in there
