Wow guys thanks for all your input. Super helpful. I guess it might have helped if i was telling what i was using it for. I'm just trying to make a my character jump. I had already tried the approach of the bool before i posted here and it wasn't working for me. when space is pressed my character wo...

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there was an easy way to to uses if (wnd.kbd.KeyIsPressed(VK_SPACE)) to only register one key press even if the key is held down. is anything built into the framework or is there a simple why can tell it to act as such?
thanks

So, I know that the answer to this question is probably large in scope but I'm not sure exactly what to be asking. So here it is. void Snake::Draw(Board & brd) { for (int i = 0; i < nSegments; ++i) { segments[i].Draw(brd); } } In the line " segments .Draw(brd); " what exactly is brd doing. What I'm ...

Thanks a million guys i think i understand the :: and static a lot more now, which was something i was struggling with. as far as the x and y goes, i had no real reason for them to be seprate from the x corner and yCorner, they just happen to land that way after i had tried many different things. @a...

To do this I needed to first get the screen width and height from ...

Dude! You make it look so easy.
I figured it would be something simple but i'd been pulling my hair out for hours.
I see why this works though, so thanks a mill.

Hey dudes, I've built my own version of the poo game using some zelda graphics and now I'm trying to implement a health meter. problem is if link takes one hit it just starts draining life till it hits 0. I thought at first it was because link was taking damage for every frame that link and the enem...

Thanks for the help guys.
Yeah, looks like I had a circular dependency issue. I seem to have it sorted now.
Cheers!

I've been playing around with the code from tutorial 13 and what i am trying to do is get the meter to work for the poos instead of the goal. I'm trying to add the meter level increase to the ProcessConsumption function so with each poo eaten the meter increases. the first problem was that i couldn'...

Yeah i think that's kind of answering my question. Mainly i did not know that a class object could be passed as an argument in a function. So, i was learning two things at once, references as well as a new type of function parameter. I was having a little trouble separating the two and was wondering...
