How to load in bitmaps using a text file as a reference?
|
Hey guys, it's been a while... but I need help once again. I wrote some code earlier, and it doesn't work, but I can't figure out why for the life of me... I want to write a class that loads in individual, uncompressed bitmaps by reading in the... |

Text input in allegro
|
I am making an OGG player, but OGG isn't the problem. My problem is, getline(); doesn't seem to agree with allegro, presumably because there is no console, but I still need a way for the user to type in the song name to play it. If you have a way t... |

String not working???
|
Okay, I have a simple program in allegro that reads and plays an ogg vorbis file that is specified by the user. (allegro is not the problem)
For some reason, this doesn't work:
#define ALOGG_DLL
#include <alogg.h>
#include <allegro... |

Locating non-set numbers of files

Ok, I am creating an OGG player, and I need to read all of the files in a folder so that the user will have a playlist. Either that, or have a way for them to choose the song.
All the OGG stuff is taken care of, but how can I list off all the file... |

Health bars and such

I have an RPG that will have a health bar along with a readout of how much health you have out of the maximum.
I am using allegro.
My code for drawing this bar is as follows:
healthpercent = playermaxhealth / playerhealth;

For loop Question
|
Ok, I have a tile-based battle system for my game, and it is quite large, 22 x 9 to be exact, and I want to use the for loop to create solid-tile arenas.
I am using a 2d vector for this, and my code looks like this:
//Note the extra space b... |

Allegro Timing

I know that allegro has interrupt handlers, but I do not entirely understand them. I know that I can use these to slow down my program, but I do not know how to implement this.
I know that I need to put one before my rendering code to stop... |

Allegro interrupt handlers

I know that I sound like a n00b, but how can I use these to slow down my game? So far, I understand that I need to put one before my rendering code to stop the program at that point, and calculate the framerate, but what I should actually put t... |

How to load in bitmaps using a text file as a reference?
|
Sorry, I guess I was a little vague. I want the class to load in a text file, read in each line, which is the complete filename of a bitmap, load them and store them in an easy to access vector. What happens when I try to load them is that the call f... |

How to load in bitmaps using a text file as a reference?
|
Sorry, I forgot to mention that i'm using allegro 4.2.
I don't know why it wouldn't load in the bitmaps. I noticed that when I go to print the string, allegro leaves the newline in, so I chop it off in the loading function, but it still doesn't wo... |

You should check out Ad Astra at www.a-astra.com, this is probably what you'll be using the planet generator for, eh? |

I don't know what you mean by that. My second game that I'm working on now is a large 2.5D RPG, and I've only been coding for about 6 months. Go ahead and try to make your MMO, but be aware that there are other costs involved (like the se... |

Text input in allegro

It took some manual reading, but I figured out that when I call install_keyboard(); it stops all OS keyboard functions. So all I need to do is not call it until the music starts!!!
EDIT:
Ok, that still doesn't want to work... Can someone at l... |

Allegro has it's own window, and doesn't run in the console. Could that be the problem?
