wats up, im using DarkGDK for my C++ lib, and I have a problem with the syntax... I'm looking at the Dark GDK information file (Start > The Game Creators > Dark GDK > Documentation > Information), and it looks like it conflicts with the IntelliSense from VC++ (MS Visual C++ 2008 express) - Say, the Info file says: void dbSprite ( int iSprite, int iX, int iY, int iImage ).
Then the pop up box in VC++ will say: void dbSprite ( int iID, int iX, int iY, int iImage ). There are some other functions/codes that are a lot more changed...

How would write the syntax for this code, say dbInk? And what's the difference between: int iID and int iImage? Please help, and I hope this message made sense. Thx!!

There is no difference. It's simply the image ID.

Just a difference between the documentation and the prototype found in the header file.

What do you mean? It simply changes the color for dbBox, dbCircle, dbLine, etc.

you use dbInk with dbRGB mostly. so:

dbInk(dbRGB(int foregroundred, int foregroundgreen, int foregroundblue), dbRGB(int backgroundred, int backgroundgreen, int backgroundblue))

each of those ints must be from 0 to 255

hey, i tried dbInk with dbRGB and it didnt color the background, i dont have a foreground yet. It did color the text, however. Mahoney is probably right about the dbBox implementation, but still if u can think of a way to fix it, do tell. Ur replies are much appreciated.

I am working on a 2D sidescroll, much like Megaman X, where the screen moves when he moves; not like the first Megaman where the screen changes to certain 'bits' of the level. What would be the best way to do this?
