How to load in bitmaps using a text file as a reference? Hey guys, it's been a while... but I need help once again. I wrote some code earlier, and it doesn't work, but I can't figure out why for the life of me... I want to write a class that loads in individual, uncompressed bitmaps by reading in the...

Text input in allegro I am making an OGG player, but OGG isn't the problem. My problem is, getline(); doesn't seem to agree with allegro, presumably because there is no console, but I still need a way for the user to type in the song name to play it. If you have a way t...

String not working??? Okay, I have a simple program in allegro that reads and plays an ogg vorbis file that is specified by the user. (allegro is not the problem) For some reason, this doesn't work: #define ALOGG_DLL #include <alogg.h> #include <allegro...

Locating non-set numbers of files Ok, I am creating an OGG player, and I need to read all of the files in a folder so that the user will have a playlist. Either that, or have a way for them to choose the song. All the OGG stuff is taken care of, but how can I list off all the file...

Health bars and such I have an RPG that will have a health bar along with a readout of how much health you have out of the maximum. I am using allegro. My code for drawing this bar is as follows: healthpercent = playermaxhealth / playerhealth; ...

For loop Question Ok, I have a tile-based battle system for my game, and it is quite large, 22 x 9 to be exact, and I want to use the for loop to create solid-tile arenas. I am using a 2d vector for this, and my code looks like this: //Note the extra space b...

Allegro Timing I know that allegro has interrupt handlers, but I do not entirely understand them. I know that I can use these to slow down my program, but I do not know how to implement this. I know that I need to put one before my rendering code to stop...

Allegro interrupt handlers I know that I sound like a n00b, but how can I use these to slow down my game? So far, I understand that I need to put one before my rendering code to stop the program at that point, and calculate the framerate, but what I should actually put t...

Another Time Question... Ok, I think I understand the separation of game code and draw code, but my game still runs funny... Basically, what I want to do is stall the processor until a certain amount of time has passed, then run the whole game cycle, stall, run cycle, sta...

How to load in bitmaps using a text file as a reference? Sorry, I guess I was a little vague. I want the class to load in a text file, read in each line, which is the complete filename of a bitmap, load them and store them in an easy to access vector. What happens when I try to load them is that the call f...

How to load in bitmaps using a text file as a reference? Sorry, I forgot to mention that i'm using allegro 4.2. I don't know why it wouldn't load in the bitmaps. I noticed that when I go to print the string, allegro leaves the newline in, so I chop it off in the loading function, but it still doesn't wo...

Procedural planet textures You should check out Ad Astra at www.a-astra.com, this is probably what you'll be using the planet generator for, eh?

Programing Questionduh! I don't know what you mean by that. My second game that I'm working on now is a large 2.5D RPG, and I've only been coding for about 6 months. Go ahead and try to make your MMO, but be aware that there are other costs involved (like the se...

Text input in allegro It took some manual reading, but I figured out that when I call install_keyboard(); it stops all OS keyboard functions. So all I need to do is not call it until the music starts!!! EDIT: Ok, that still doesn't want to work... Can someone at l...
