I'm making ALL local games and utilities. And what exactly is C#? How much more different Is it then C and C++? BEcause, I'm looking for a simple language to make the easy things. I have the engine made in C++, so I'm good to go with VB
What's the difference between VB express and VB.NET?

oh, okay. Well what about my other two questions? VB and XML parser

Sorry, what's a wrapper? Is it like a library/API?

Oh, I don't understand why anyone wants to make win32 programs... Isn't it just cmd prompt? 2 questions: I have visual basic studio, I think that would be better for a utility, not an actual engine. Does anyone know how to parse/change/save text files in c++ and/or visual basic? XML seems very usefu...

Oh, I guess... well, I guess what I am asking now is how to do it in C++. :D 'Cause blitz costs a fortune. At least I think(never checked).

Hi, I have seen some of the "Adventure in game develoment" series, and I see the File, Edit, View type menus in Marcel's level editor. I want to know, are you guys using C++? If so, are you doing this in a Win32 application, or a Windows Form application, and how to do this? What I mean is...

I don't understand how the icons changine for a new post and how many views I get have anything to do with me commenting my code...?

Oh, i did that for people to be able to help me the most they can...

Yeah, i got it to work now. Thanks guys! Anyone know how to set a Icon for a program in Microsoft Visual Studio C++? EDIT: Also: sorry, how do you do... whats the term, um... string linking? like in lua, to display "Character X: variable" I would do print("Character X"..charXVar&...

Yeah, a signed multiplication program is like... 150 lines. I made my first actual game, and it had a title screen, and a non-working menu, and it was 350 lines.

I have this: void createLevelBasedOnData(){ int brickNum = 0; C3DObjectCube* pCube = new C3DObjectCube[countBricks()]; for(int x = 0; x < 10; x++){ for(int y = 0; y < 10; y++){ if(level1[y][x] == 1){ pCube[brickNum]->ID = y*x; pCube[brickNum]->setPosition((x*10)+5,5,(y*10)+5); pCube[brickNum]->size ...

Hmm. Didn't work. Now I have this: void createLevelBasedOnData(){ int brickNum = 1; C3DObjectCube pCube[] = new C3DObjectCube[countBricks()]; for(int x = 0; x < 10; x++){ for(int y = 0; y < 10; y++){ if(level1[y][x] == 1){ pCube[brickNum]->ID = y*x; pCube[brickNum]->setPosition((x*10)+5,5,(y*10)+5);...

I'm working on my first game that isn't a test, in visual C++ using DarkGDK's library. I have never used pointers, and I need help debugging a snippet. I have map data, stored in an array called "level1". It's 10 by 10. What I want it to do is filter through, find the amount of bricks and ...

Assembly isn't actually that hard. I mean, I wouldn't start it as your first language, but all there really is to it is to learn the Registers, in my case(A,B,HL,DE,BC, etc...), and learn how to do loops with DJNZ, and learn the processor calls, for TI84 ASM, b_call(_processorCall).

Oh, marauder! You have a graphing calc? I have a ti84+se. I program it all the time, I made. Pokemom clone in ti basic
