Success. Enemy is shooting, bullets are being drawn. Now just have to right a check for when the bullets go off the screen. I'll do that later. Coding from my phone via remote desktop sounds convenient to me, but in practice is horrid. Thanks a bunch man, I'll post the code used to fix after I get h...

I think I fixed it. Now I just need to get the bullets to actually be drawn. But at least the game doesn't crash as soon as I run it now. You might have been wrong about what needed to be initialized, but the idea that something wasn't being initialized was correct. I adjusted the code to be this: I...

Hmm, I thought I was initializing the ships. When testing I never had a problem running the code unless it was trying to draw. I'll check when I get home. Just got to work. Thanks man.

So I've been working on trying to create something based on what I can remember from the beginner series from back when I stopped around 2 years ago... Maybe it's the lack of practice, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong :( The only problem atm is drawing enemy bullets... Maybe someo...

Omg sorry. I run two monitors on my computer. It's a bit weird though since my primary monitor is on the right but the one I run programs on is on the left. So I modified the window position so it would pop up on the left monitor while I worked on the code in the right. So I needed a negative x offs...

You need a long-term goal and short-medium term ones as well. If your goal is to get a job in a games studio, your long term goal should be to build a portfolio of work that you can show off in an interview. Just an example to think about: Short term: make little games and demos, practicing skills ...

Well, I suppose if you were going to do that, you'd probably want to make it a class vs a struct but that's covered later in his series I believe. If you aren't aware of what a class is, the simplest terms I can define it is a complex struct. It has it's own functions, members, and constructors. At ...

If you don't mind my own replying, I'm pretty sure I have your answer to both questions. For enum, he uses enum to create values that help self-document the code. It's easier for a random programmer to look at his code and see an enumeration of X,O,EMPTY and recognize these as what they are, instead...

Hey guys, went a bit overboard with the little additions. I didn't want to just stop at one way to control the speed. Let me know what you guys think of this solution, and tell me which of the forms of control you liked most. I'll post the forms in a spoiler for those that don't want any ideas befor...
