Re: Life bar (WIP)

Well you could have a variable called 'Lives' and set that to a set amount and deduct 1 from lives every time you die, then terminate the program after lives = 0. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int x; x = 100; double y = 0.0; double i = 0.0; int Dead; Dead = 0; `int lives = 3;...

Re: Is this a good way to learn c++?

You may need to go through a tutorial or something to get you started first, but I don't think your task is impossible, but I don't think it will be easy as cake either. Either way, grab yourself a good C++(everyone raves for the learn it in 21 days book) and work through that or use it as a referen...

Re: Is FL Studio Express good for a beginner?

I tried the demo once as I was looking for a way to add drums to my guitar riffs, but that whole layout and usage confused and scared me, so I uninstalled it and hid under my pillow until its temp files cleared my HD.

Re: How to check the value of a char?

If he's going through a C++book, I do believe that everyone that I've read goes to if statements before the almighty switch statement... so maybe that's why he's using IF statements?

Re: What are you playing?

Last night I buzzed through the Left 4 Dead demo on Steam, badass as expected. I was worried that this was being over hyped(if only in my head), but I have no reserves with jumping for joy at this game. I only did the single player run through, I should get online and go through again tonight. If yo...

Re: How to check the value of a char?

well I was just playing around with what I've learned in C++ so far, and I wanted to make a very very basic text calculator. So I want to have a char and then I want to check its value: Add, Subtract, Multiply, etc. So how can I check the value of a char...I thought it would be like this: char a; s...

Re: A question for all you programmers out there, and Gyrovorbis

Oh how does the joke go...

Falco doesn't code, he takes existing source code and when we watch the videos we watch them in reverse as he's deleting lines so it appears that he's typing the code out.


I probably butchered that joke, but someone will know what I mean and chuckle. :roll:

Re: Simulating the Big Bang

I'm wondering if it's possible at all to "make" a miniaturized big bang. I'm not talking about a computer simulator or anything, but I mean actually make a miniaturized one. Perhaps we could make a large house sized room take all matter out of it and put in all the proper elements to gene...
