I'm having problems with my current game, and ppl at that thread don't seem to be quite helpful..(at the time of this post lol)...Could anybody who knows a great deal about C/C++ lend me a hand their? My problem is explained thouroughly.

... i'd say something but i'm not sure you'd want to hear it
i would tell you the exact problem, cept it already has been told and you didn't listen on thier forums.

personally i'd say you don't really have a clue what your trying to achieve or a way to go about it - because you're certainly as hell not doing it like you would in DBP.
just because languages seem different doesn't mean you should automatically try some fancy new technique you don't understand
i'll suggest you think about how you would do it more basically in DBP and THEN get back to you C++ version.

Its fancy? Eh, I wanted to do pixel collision to make the game seem more realistic, and some guy previously helped me to make a better system. And yes, I know what I'm doing. I just don't use DarkBASIC because to myself it seems like cheating. I'm using some other persons work just to make mine easier....eh..such as RPG Maker...who uses that? Ppl who don't know really how to do anything. DarkBASIC - same thing, cept for 3D stuff I use it...

Nobody uses RPG Maker 'cuz it can't make crap .

C++ is just the same. If you don't like using other peoples' work, code in ASM, or just use a hex editor, or better yet invent your own computer to work on because after all you are relying on somebody else's computer.

Yeah, I know C/C++ was made by somebody else..but, its pretty much the industry standard so I'm alright with it. But don't go replying about what if RM2k was the industry standard....*shivers*

:: sighs :: i'm not saying use DB... i'm saying why the hell did you change your programming mindset because your using C?

i mean in DB would you honestly have a calculation like

pos = x * 32 * y * 32 * z

i mean first of all your trying to get the position in pixels which is ...

pixel.x = ( x*32 )
pixel.y = ( y*32 )
the X and Y are tread differently

secondly why are all your positions in a single string?

map->bitmask[pos] should be map->bitmask[pixel.x,pixel.y]

i mean your just making everything harder for yourself - just think about how your actually programming man.

The reason I did that was because...wait... I didn't do that ^_^. In a previous thread about 2 weeks ago some guy helped me out and used that method...so I sticked to it. It seemed good...heh.

[EDIT] Also its all in a single string for easier saving to files

technically its still in a single string
all you have to do is count off like



or something like that anyways ... i've still not really got the hang of exporting data into a physical format from C++
