This topic is really close to one I've been working on for a while.I was hoping that you guys could help me out.I'm trying to get my stats taken from my characters txt files and have the stats place onscreen.Which sounds pretty similar to what's going on.I thought I had it with my last attempt but there were far too many errors when I finally compiled it.
// Dark GDK - The Game Creators - www.thegamecreators.com
// the wizard has created a very simple 2D project that uses Dark GDK
// it can be used as a starting point in making your own 2D games
// whenever using Dark GDK you must ensure you include the header file
#include "DarkGDK.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std; //not sure if this is needed... just trying it out
// the main entry point for the application is this function
void DarkGDK ( void )

dbSyncOn ( );
dbSyncRate ( 60 );
// a call is made to this function so we can stop the GDK from
// responding to the escape key, we can then add in some code in our
// main loop so we can control what happens when the escape key is pressed
dbDisableEscapeKey ( );
//dbLoadImage ( "backdrop.bmp", 1 );
// the next step is to create a sprite that uses this image, this
// is achieved by calling dbSprite and passing in a value of 1 for the
// sprites ID, 0 for the X coordinate, 0 for the Y coordinates and a
// value of 1 for the image
//dbSprite ( 1, 0, 0, 1 );
// next we will load in some animated sprites, before doing this
// we need to adjust the image color key, by using this function we
// can make a specific color be transparent, in our case we want this
// to be bright pink

Largely it's acting like it's totally wrong to use =,==,!=, when dealing with char data.That's basically the kind of errors I get when I compile it.But if not that then what?Am I totally off base or what?
It was such a small seed... I needed to find out what was growing inside. And there was only one way to find out. So I decided to raise it.
