Actually bitwise NOT is ~, ! is a boolean NOT.

I've always wondered about the "C" in "CItem" habit (seen it a few other places), I'm guessing this is a general way of saying something is a container? Nah, it's just in case they forget it is a class. IMO it's kinda stupid. Wow seriously? That's like starting variable names wi...

Uh... what?

All I've heard is that it's a major grindfest.

You don't seem to have any parentheses after init, so I would guess it is comparing the memory address of init to false. That shouldn't even compile.

Thanks, glad I could help.

Not sure if this is your problem, but in your switch statement you never break, which means everything after the true case will also be executed, meaning you are drawing multiple times for the same block but in different places. switch(drawY) { case 0: apply_surface(((SCREEN_WIDTH / 8) - (BLOCK_WIDT...

I would be surprised if it works as well as it does in the videos when it is released. Look like it would be a bitch for program for.

You'll really want to understand how linked lists work since they are the foundation of lots of other data structures. Queues and stacks can both be implemented with linked lists. This tutorial has lots of pictures that show what is going on with them and will help you to understand the basics of h...

You really only need to do something like this: bool check_collision(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2) { if((x1 <= x2+32) && (x1 + 32 >= x2) && (y1 <= y2+32) && (y1 + 32 >= y2)) { return true; } return false; } Then for your movement you would have: if(left key is down) { x -= ...

I used ioctlsocket() to make the sockets non-blocking.

I'm making a MUD in C++ and I'm using winsock for the networking. At first I had the server spawn a new thread for every connected client, but this would obviously be extremely slow if lots of people were to connect. I changed it so the Server class has an array of Clients, and in the main loop it l...

You have to put quotes around lua.h instead of brackets.
