Re: Programming Q&A

Darklight: My personal preference for C# is .NET 2.0. It contains all the nice and well-needed updates (generic classes, etc...) and is the last version to be supported on the old Windows operating systems (Windows 2000/ME/98).

The newer versions appear to be mainly targeted at Vista (with most of the additional features being for Vista compatibility). There doesn't appear to be any major functionality that you would lose by using .NET 2.0, and you can potentially support the older versions of Windows if you have to.

It all depends on what you need.

yeah, I should have really said I wanted to support at least XP/vista.
Thanks, I just wasn't sure how much functionality I'd loose by using an older version of .NET.

Your community is a bunch of stuck up turds.

Wow, that has so many errors in it I don't know where to start. The thing probably causing your error though is that it can't find GFX\startup.png

No the LoadImage is correct, startup.png is located in GFX.

BTW, Infini, this is my 2nd time using it, not as my second time attempting, this is actually my second time opening MaxIDE.

It has a bunch of errors, probably all of those useless global declarations, but I will fix that later.

It may be there but is it being loaded. Stick a debugstop directly after the loadimage call and check that titleImage is actually valid.

Is there any way to stretch an image to a certain width in BlitzMax? the forums and Google don't seem to know.

SetScale?

Re: Programming Q&A

SetScale?

That didn't work. Probably should have said that I tried SetScale. SetScale uses a percentage and I want pixel width not percentage width.

EDIT: I fixed it by making a formula to convert the percentages to pixels >__>

Re: Programming Q&A

u_u. I think thats obvious. You just use something like this;

setscale(float(new_width) / float(image_width), float(new_height) / float(image_height))

Re: Programming Q&A

Got some array and pointer dickery going on here..

Code: [Select]

template <typename T> void HVSTDAT<T>::addData(T data)
{
tempData = new T[dataCount]; //set up the temp holder

for (int i = 0; i < dataCount; i++)
{
tempData[i] = mainData[i];
}

dataCount++;

delete mainData; //clear out the main data
mainData = new T[dataCount]; //recreate it with an extra space

for (int i = 0; i < dataCount - 1; i++)
{
mainData[i] = tempData[i];
}

mainData[dataCount] = data; //put in the new data
delete tempData; //get rid of the temp data
}



template <typename T> void HVSTDAT<T>::listData()
{
for (int i = 0; i < dataCount; i++)
{
std::cout << i + 1 << ": " << mainData[i] <<"\n";
}
}


int main()
{

int x = 4;
int p = 2;
HVSTDAT<int> test(x);
test.addData(p);
test.listData();
system("pause");
return 0;
}

2 functions there using a pointer and an array to hold some data and output it.  Going by the main function, the output should be:

1: 4
2: 6

well, here's the output...

1: 4
2: -842150451

umm... -842150451 != 6   I've gone through the functions too many times, I can't figure out what's wrong.

wat.

EDIT: Had a variable error, fixed.

The POST request does not work... Anything look wrong? I have gone through it many times :S

Also, you may see a ton of alerts, well that is for debugging, and it goes to 5

Re: Programming Q&A

Is there a way to convert a char value into into an int, double, or float in C++?  I don't mean grabbing it's ascii value, I mean turning it into an actual number.  I.E. if the char value was "1.5", is there a way to put that value into a double?  I basically need a cdbl() function like in Basic..

Come again? Do you mean converting a character string into a value? If so, read up on atoi, atof and atol.

Re: Programming Q&A

yes, exactly.  I'll look into those, thanks.

But now I've got another problem.  I'm working with some streams, but the damn files keep truncating when I open them.

Code: [Select]

IOData.inFile.open(fileName);
inFile is an ifstream instance.  How do I stop them from truncating?

Re: Programming Q&A

If reading;

Code: [Select]

IOData.inFile.open(fileName, ios_base::openmode::in);

If appending;

Code: [Select]

IOData.inFile.open(fileName, ios_base::openmode::out | ios_base::openmode::app);

Not checked mind you. Should work though.

It's fixed.  Someone over at gamedev pointed out my error...I used = in an if statement instead of == -.-  Well, don't I feel dumb now.
