Again, we've discussed this in the past. Falco prefers the default, crisp looking style because he feels it makes the forums look more professional. I do not disagree. I find it easier on my eyes than a dark theme in most cases. Regardless, I have no problem making other styles optional, but they w...

Oh yes, much better... Feels like an entirely different forum now, in a good way. The default phpBB theme always felt cheap to me...

Although, the smilies have some white artifacts around them.

And a video: qJaRAUHWZig From here: http://www.1up.com/news/sonic-4-physics-reworked-episode-2 But I will just point out one thing. I think the reason why I disliked sonic 4 was mainly the graphics, I preferred the hand drawn pixel art to the lifeless tweened animation. They don't have to do it 16bi...

oh yay!! I can't wait to hear more... I wasn't a HUGE fan of the first one, I thought it just felt a little unpolished, but so did the first ever sonic game and all of us here know how usually the first game in a series is more about testing out an engine, it's hard to make a masterpiece, with peopl...

Damn... I looked at his wikipedia page right after I found out Dennis Ritchie died, and I felt kinda good knowing he was still around... I guess it's the beginning of the end of the lives of the early pioneers of modern computing. I am very great-full that they have contributed so much to all our li...

You gonna make a cave spelunking game?

he was mentiod on insidegaming http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q52B8ez3dog The human being on the right is a waste of the carbon he is made of. I agree, what a complete dick he doesn't even care what so ever. I don't think he realizes how important this man is. If you don't fucking who who he is, do...

Maaaan, the pioneers are droppin' like flies!

Again, shouldn't this be in programming discussion? I'm by no means a master at C++, but I would say you just need to do it. Don't put it off like I did for a year, don't bead around the bush asking questions about when where and how (well, ask how that's what these forums are for but) just do it. I...

Looks ok to me, but take that with a grain of salt... The best way to learn is to do. You'll learn a lot more if you make this engine from your own design and then realize some things could have been done better, than if you listened to experienced people and tried to stay on the rails of what they ...

I definitely don't start writing code in my e-mails lol. I said yes because occasionally after a long day working on a C++ project I'll start reflexively ending my sentences with semi-colons in other places; :lol: Same, after I've been coding for a while I put parenthesis against words(like this) i...

Word of advice: After you free a surface (or delete anything for that matter) you should set the pointer to NULL. In this case you don't even need to check for NULL before calling SDL_FreeSurface, because it handles them nicely, i.e., checks and does nothing. Neat, but you should be careful what NU...

Got a "Whoa! You are addicted to programming. And seem to be proud of that fact." Very accurate :p

Yeah, I realized that. The only reason I thought it was in the first place is some guy in the docs said to do it *shrugs* *points*. I figured it was wrong but just chalked it up to not understanding SDL enough... Like I said, gimme a sec to modify the first post... ahh, sorry, i did not see the edi...

std::vector<SDL_Surface*> mySurfaces; SDL_Surface tempSurface = NULL; tempSurface = SDL_LoadBMP("yourimage.bmp"); tempSurface->refcount += 2; // We increase it to 2, because we don't just want to free the copy, but the temp as well. If we only increase it once here, sure, it will work but...
