WOO HOO!!! Thanks a lot toastman. I got the impression from First of all, the cross compiler may not be so lax in your sloppy scoping in the first place. that you were a little pissed. The book I study C++ with used the method in the code (which works too on Linux ) and I've also seen that strategy ...

Yep, I think that's right. I would also like to know who ISN'T covered by the 'automatic' copyright system I understand that if you make a program, you automatically own the copyright to it. Are all countriies covered by this law? What's stopping someone in Africa claiming he owns the copyright? Do ...

scope resolution is for static functions. In this case, Background is a subclass of Texture. I want to call the draw function in Texture from +-background. try this code and see what I mean. #include <iostream.h> class Point { private: int x, y; public: Point(int a, int b): x(a), y(b) {} virtual ~Po...

I'm writing a Texturing class using parallax. It works on its own, but when I try to inherit it and call the draw function from a (direct) subclass, nothing appears on screen (uses parallax) I'm just giving the nuts and bolts of it /********************************************** * THIS CLASS WORKS P...

Whether or not you decide to take a course is up to you. I personally feel courses progress too slowly and if you want to start making serious stuff like a game RIGHT AWAY, then you're better off getting a book on C++ (I think it's easier than C). I recommend Tom Swan's GNU C++ for Linux. Here is a ...

I think your elfs are huge because they are not stripped of symbols. If you load the elf in a gex-editor eg KDE's HexEdit, you'll be able to see function names etc. To remove these symbols, type "sh-elf-strip" [filename.elf] (If you built your environment using target=sh-elf) you could als...

I think C++ is your best bet, especially if you are thinking along the DC dev/linux lines. I recommend Tom Swan's GNU C++ for Linux (if you can find it). It tells you all you need to know to get started with c++ development on gcc and even goes into advancecd stuff. It is my most prized book right n...

Hi, I'm working on a small DC game and I need to perform a task after a certain interval of time (fraction of a second). using times(NULL) works with linux local gcc but when I compile for DC using KOS, it fails at the linkage stage which suggests that the times() function exists but the library is ...
