line wars!

Hey guys,

just finished lesson 19 and thought I'd show you guys my work, it's a simple 2 player game where the aim is to not go outside the box, not hit your line, or the other player's line.

player 1 controls - up, down, left right.
player 2 controls - w,a,s,d.

when someone wins, their colour is displayed in the corner

IMPORTANT - you must right click on chili framework and go to properties - v110 if you are using visual studio 2012 and v100 if you are using 2010.

Have you changed your VC++ directory for your include files in the project?
Because it is not linking to the standard directory, and I get a error if I try to compile it.(Have to change the include diretories).

[joelyboy94]

umm don't think so, is it not working?

[poschi]

By the way, is there a reason for using __ as variables?
Just asking because you should not do that. This kind of variables are actually reserved.

First answer.


Anyway, good job, works like a charm

[joelyboy94]

I used the underscores to help me distinguish the parameter variables from the actual variables, but ok, didn't realise that, thanks for pointing it out

Also, didn't realise instead of using an overly convoluted if statement in the end of the boundary check function I could use the predefined min and max functions

and thanks, means alot!

it doesn't work. it doesn't compile.

Poschi, how did you fix the problem?

Cool game, it's like tron. Or actually it IS tron : -P

The problem should be fixed if you change the toolset from the project settings v110 -> v100. That's the thing to look at first if the program doesn't link properly.

Nice work, I'm always glad to see people sharing their work. Good code organization and style (except for the underscore thing). I like that you use an Enum (they don't get enough love IMO).

HOWEVER, minus 1 billion chili points because you DIDN'T CLEAN YOUR SOLUTION!

It is huge and it will kill all of our collective bandwidthses. Unacceptable. Redo.

[joelyboy94]

It only vaguely resembles tron

and thanks Chili; sorry about the cleaning, i've done it now

[cameron]

Still doesn't compile for me.
