I typed in the alphabet with an exclamation mark. It claimed the password is safe. Yeah, no.

Unfortunately I live in Florida and as a result I get the native palmetto bugs. They are nasty ass cockroaches, and not only do they look disgusting, but they grow to a signifigant size and they fly. Plus they multiply and cause allergies. Personally I have trouble killing them (hard to kill + fear) and so whenever I see one, I fucking freak out until it goes away.

You're really late. But you know, this IS newgrounds.

I'm surprised it took you ten posts to finally post the source code. It looks like you're trying to keep the function to load all the models in one place, and then to have the derived objects specify what models they are trying to load. Obviously you have a serious design flaw.

You need to separate the loading logic because in reality, each object and its resources would load independent of each other. For example, you might have the stars and then all the planets and stuff. Trying to load them in one instantiation of the object doesn't make sense. Rather than doing,

SolarSystem.load();

...

Planet.addToLoad("shit")

You would do,

SolarSystem.create();
SolarSystem.addPlanet(Planet());
Planet.load();

You still haven't told us what you wanted to do. I think your experience with Java has diluted your learning of C++.

Obviously a base class cannot call a derived class function because it hasn't been defined yet. If you for example have a triangle that derives from a base class shape, it makes no sense for the shape to have any information about a triangle.

Pretty damn sure you're missing the point. A 15 year old raping a 5 year old, and not someone his own age, has some serious psychological problems.

If you give the game designer 'choice', you're allowing them to exploit the user. For example, a game may be good, but it may have terrible controls, and they can get away with it 'because'. It's their choice, right? That doesn't excuse bad game design...but then again, a game making bucks has good game design as the least of its worries.

You just set the pokemon behind the trainer. If the trainer moves onto a certain tile, the pokemon will be on the tile before that trainer. The pokemon will be facing the direction the trainer last moved.

What do you mean there's no easy way to tell time? You're going to have to sync your clock somehow and that means getting the time from somewhere...and whatever source you get the time from..makes it redundant anyway.

Flash has a timeline where the frames are called at a fixed rate (by default, 12). So you update whatever you need to at a fixed rate, but considering you're asking a question like this, I don't think what you're going to be doing is a clean method. What I suggest is you look into frameworks or libraries that will help you instead of trying to write a game from scratch....

C++ and Python are good languages to make games. Ruby and Lua are too good scripting languages for games. But something like C# or Java are better because the programming style in Python differs from the other 3 too much (it tries to be a beginner's language, but there are too many gotchas and niche styles.) People would suggest using a library with C++ instead of writing it yourself, and even if you start with DirectX or OpenGL, use a framework or library. No need to start from scratch because you'll most likely give up. That's why a lot of people are using XNA.

Hey so some of you may know that brainfuck is a small language that's considered turing complete, and therefore capable of doing any calculation. So I decided as a small project to embed it into an XNA language as a 'scripting language'. First I needed to translate a minimal brainfuck interpreter in C to C#. Then I had to figure out how to do practical keyboard input, and I found a useful class that captures keyboard input using hooks and windows forms. After that, I piped the input to the interpreter, and then changed some of the commands so that they will do something game-wise, rather than text wise.

For example, +++++ will add 5 to the current cell. Well I've decided to load a list of game objects into memory where you can manipulate their properties via brainfuck. So far I have three commands, ROTATEX, ROTATEY, ROTATEZ to rotate the current object on its axes, the current object being whatever cell you're manipulating.

So it looks like:

+++++ Cell 0 sets to 5 for a counter
> Go to first game object loaded in memory
+++++ Rotate by 5 degrees (ROTATEX is the default command)
ROTATEY +++++ Rotate by 5 degrees on Y axis

Like I said, I'm doing this for fun and it could be very interesting.

Note I modified the interpreter quite a bit to get some custom commands and to make it a separate class and flow with the XNA game.

I have a buffer and an input buffer. Whenever the Keyboard class 'hooks' a key, I add it to the input buffer, and then whenever I press the enter key (entered a command) I add that to the buffer. That buffer is what is displayed on the screen. This way I can dynamically plug in and plug out different types of intepreters (brainfuck being the only one)

Now for code.

Game1.cs

kb = new KeyboardBuffer(Window.Handle);

            kb.Enable();

            bf = new BrainfuckInterpreter(theBox); // Currently only supports one object

....

            bf.Parse(kb); // Yup, one liner. That's how awesome this is.

....

// To simulate a blinking cursor
            if (blinkTimer < 0.5f)
            {
                blinkTimer += elapsed;
            }
            else
            {
                blinkTimer = 0;

                if (blink == "|")
                    blink = " ";
                else
                    blink = "|";
            }

....

            spriteBatch.Begin();

// Like a terminal, move the screen when you get past the edge...but no support to move back up yet
// I just have to add key input but I'm lazy
            if (f1.MeasureString(bf.buffer + bf.input).Y > GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height)
                offset = f1.MeasureString(bf.buffer + bf.input).Y - GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height;

            spriteBatch.DrawString(f1, bf.buffer + bf.input + blink, -(Vector2.UnitY * offset), Color.White);

            spriteBatch.End();

BrainfuckInterpreter.cs

// The keyboard class that I did not implement
// Is just as useful...all I have to do to get the buffered text is call that function
            input += kb.GetText();

            if (kb.BackSpaceKey)
            {
                if (input.Length > 0)
                    input = input.Remove(input.Length - 1);
            }


            if (kb.EnterKey)
            {
// Add the input to the buffer so the user can see it on the screen
                buffer += input + "\n";

// We want to read the new input
                char_pointer = 0;

// This just sees if the user typed the name of a predefined program (example programs)
                if (programs.ContainsKey(input))

It's not onclick..it's onkeyup or onkeydown you're looking for.

PHP is not javascript.

You need to tie in javascript some way to change the page dynamically. In fact, you would probably just use javascript for that and not even PHP. However if you wanted to use PHP for the logic, then look into AJAX. Otherwise, stick to javascript.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.bitwise.php

Judging from how there's only one instance of ^= on the entire page, it's implied.

I can't look at your code right now, but the first solution is obvious.

Whatever you set the form action to the page will be redirected to. You can set the form action to # or / or whatever the page you're on is to check the logic on that page (so it doesn't redirect.) I'm not sure if this is your intended action, but if you wanted it to not change pages and you wanted a different document do the logic, you'd have to use AJAX or something.

Now as for you wanting to not do the logic until after the form is processed, you have to check if it's already been posted. You simply do an if check like if isset($_POST['name_of_form']). This works because when the form is posted, the variable containing the name of the form is sent. This is basic so it can be explained better elsewhere on the web.

Interestingly enough PHP has a lot of similarities to C...probably because PHP underneath is C.

Man how misleading...when people think operating system, they think Windows, or Mac OS, or Linux..but different distributions are in reality 'kernels'. For the most part, 'distros' have different settings such as the packages installed, modifications of system configs, etc. It's not an operating system in how someone not inclined may view it.
