|
Hello, I recently THOUGHT I had finished my first game in C++ (a pong game) so I submitted it in the Your Annoucements forum, and then found out that the images were not being wiped off the background buffer for people who tried my game. This does n... |

I've noticed that some people here are looking for hosting services or are using bad hosting services. I'd like to reccommend www.sitesled.com. They offer 100 MB of free space and seem to have a fast transfer rate and are hardly ever down.

Quick Qustion About SDL keycodes
|
Hello, I was just wondering how to use SDLK_[blank] with normal keys instead of just keys like SDLK_UP, SDLK_LEFT, SDLK_ESCAPE. (For example I want to use something like SDLK_W, but that obviously doesn't work.)
Thanks! |

pong game needed + source
|
But you need an API to display the graphics and for getting input from the keyboard. So you should probably choose between either SDL or Allegro as mentioned above. I don't know anything about Allegro, but SDL is quite easy to use IMO. Here's a ve... |

The new guy....

I used to use a program called "the games factory" and then later its upgrade "multimedia fusion". These programs make game making much easier than coding in any language but you can still learn some valuable programming concepts. I recommend you t... |

Thanks for the response, and I will try to fix that. Also if you want any of my source code, just ask. Or actually you don't have to ask cause I just posted all of it in the For Beginners forum so you can just go there. |

Thanks, I think I'll post a topic about this in the Begginners forum so more people can help (and perhaps figure out why this is happening to other people but not to ME!). |

Can someone else try it out to see if images are sticking to the background? That would really be a big problem I would like to fix (and would be very confused about because it doesn't happen to me and I think I understand completely how the buffers... |
