Is it possible to turn off echo with cin/cout?
|
Isn't getch() a standard C command that should work on Linux? I know it's not C++, but it'll do what you want I should think. |

Creating Tile Maps

I would say go for the option of asking the user what size map they want using a dialog box of some sorts before they start making a map. Then additionally if you wanted to, you could have an option to increase the size by simply tacking on n a... |

my game works only on computers with visual studio 2005

Simple way to fix this should be to:
load up your project settings, and go to C/C++ -> Code Generation
Next change runtime library from Multi-threaded DLL to Multi-threaded and rebuild. That should sove your problem |
