Hey guys, I'm having difficulty following two of lazyfoo's tutorial's together. Independently I can either cap the fps on my pong game or I can view the fps, but doing both at the same time is presenting difficulties. Here is my relevant code: (I removed some irrelevant code as to make it easier to ...

If the working directory for both of us is blank (msdn says the default is the directory the executable is in), and if it works on mine, would it not be the same for him?

We are both using MVC++, it wouldn't be changing the folder locations unfortunately. Were using the svn so it should all be the exact same thing.

I'll have him triple check though.

Solution: make sure friend copies all .dll files in the sdl_image zip file and not just the required ones to make it compile. =) My friend and I are working on a project together. A simple pong game.

unfortunately, it doesn't work. I tried loading the image with my constant, but the only way it works is by hard coding the entire directory. Which, is obviously not what I want. I am just trying to find the directory the executable is in, and then go off to my sub folders, like I "think" ...

Basically, I was hoping to sort of keep my files sorted instead of having them all in the same folder as my executable, but referencing files in sub folders relative to my executable has proven difficult. // DEFINES #define IMAGE_BACKGROUND "\\content\\images\\background.bmp" #define FONT_...

Hello everyone, I basically fell in love with the "Adventures in Game Development" Youtube series, so naturally I found this website and forum. After watching the whole series in... basically one sitting I got inspired to actually create a game. The reason I found the series is I was looki...
