Re: Learning to Program Large Web Apps

Here's a list I recently made with web-related items. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T3vfm72KtD7sDdClU1qLBfugSr7pgJEgqou7jZ_bEs8/edit Thanks! Some nice resources in there. I would encourage you to try a large front end, and then back end, framework. Such as Asp.Net, MVC/++, an Apache web-frame...

Learning to Program Large Web Apps

TLDR: I'm trying to get better at making "large" web apps and am looking for project ideas. So I've been programming mostly in C++ focusing mostly on game development for the past couple of years. The primary learning tool I've used during this time is "I want to make X type of game s...

Re: Adding Sprites to "Game Engine"

It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to make a flexible engine or framework? Or are you trying to make a specific game that doesn't require the flexibility? If you're doing the first one, then allowing user defined sizes is probably a good idea. However, if you're makin...

Re: Adding Sprites to "Game Engine"

Dragon Quest Builders

So apparently everything's turning into a minecraft clone now.
Seems like it could be interesting. How do those of you who are bigger Dragon Quest fans than I think about this?



Sort of reminds me of FFCC My Life as a King but with more in depth building and more of a traditional rpg.

Re: Another way of supporting multiplatform

Generally what I do i set up separate source directories for each platform so the directory tree looks like this: project/ include/ graphics.h common/ graphics_common.c main.c pc/ graphics_pc.c dc/ graphics_dc.c Then you just set which directories to use in your ide or makefile. So there're no #ifde...

Re: Advent of Code (fun programming puzzles)

Nice! Just what I needed to keep myself from douching my ass all break.

Though it makes it feel like my first year comp sci class is still going on, but without the dull professor so I guess that's a plus :)

Dreamcast Controller with Built-in Screen

Just came across this and I'm not sure how I didn't see this almost a year ago.
Kudos to the creator for making it. This thing is awesome!

Re: Text Editor(and my other topic)

Re: Text Editor(and my other topic)

I don't know which language/api you're using but you should be doing something like this:
When save is clicked
open file for writing
get text from the text area
write the string to the file
close the file

Re: Noob Question

The most common way to do this would be to put each class declaration in their own separate header files and the definitions in their own separate cpp files. //PlayWorld.h class PlayWorld { public: void PrintPage(); void PrintMonsters(); void PrintItems(); }; //PlayWorld.cpp void PlayWorld::PrintPag...
