Planet Chili

Thanks for your in-depth responses Papa, it is appreciated! I just realised I called move semantics copy... I blame... ahh... something! RE looking at other vids on C++ topics: I know chili is all for the getting of knowledge, and for me getting different views and explanations helps better place an...

Hi all, apologies for not checking in for a few days. Thanks for inputting. Normally when I start posting on threads they die... On any forum. lol Papa - it was a question of that specific example but also obviously in applying it general in a similar situation. The extension you talk about is what ...

I like the MouseServer idea. I was thinking (for about a minute or so) yesterday about making a wrapper (or two) for each class. Very similar to this but using my idea of inheritance and protected methods. I think I would bring the protected OnMouse... methods through into the inheriting MouseServer...

"fix" the (small) "problem" of making Window a friend Why would you consider it a problem to have the Mouse and Keyboard classes friends of Window? I just feel friends is kinda "dirty". I look at it as a way to break rules of privacy for convenience without just making things public, which would be...

I think initially (like two weeks ago when I first saw the tutorial and the idea was running through my mind) my main question was "Is this idea bad or good or neither but just how I see it / want to design it / prefer?" And that is what you commented on and showed your own idea. I get a bit hung up...

I watched tutorial 8 (adding keyboard input) a couple of weeks ago and have now gotten around to following the tutes through and am back to that one. I had this thought, and haven't fleshed it out or thought really hard about it, but it seems like it might be OK depending on how you see things. It m...

Thanks for the link, it does look pretty interesting at first glance. Even the first part looks good to me to go over. It is always good to go over stuff especially when you end up feeling that you already grasp it / didn't learn anything new. That's where I get confidence from. I'm wary of being co...

Sure, I looked into importing pngs but couldn't be bothered at the time getting my head around it / getting it to work, so I just stuck with bmps. Honestly having a whole bunch of files floating around in open folders is also a bit lame. I'd rather get them into some package file but its not importa...

Merry Xmas! Also Chili (just so I'm not posting a thread for this) I'm loving the latest hw3d series so far. Short episodes that actually explain stuff starting from the ground (literally from scratch) up.

Ha, wow, you sure did find a bug. It didn't rear its head until I added something else, but yet, bug for real.

I learnt some python making a script to convert pngs to bmps with magenta backgrounds in Gimp, that was pretty cool.
