Hey guys. I was wondering if using enum / enum class would be a good way to switch between the different game states (i.e title screen, menu screen, playing screen, etc). Or is there a better way to do this?

I'm on Intermediate lesson 21 (Scrolling). The first time I've watched this lesson, my code broke it somehow, and now the second time watching it, it's breaking more. LOL. The problem I had before was the window would open and take about 5 seconds before display anything. Also It would take forever ...

So, I've decided that I like SDL better than DirectX. It seems to be more simpler, so I've decided to convert it from DirectX to SDL. But I ran into a problem. I'm following the intermediate tutorials also to help me guide myself (I like the structure of the classes, etc), I even copy and pasted som...

Well that makes me feel stupid. >.< I learned something with this mistake though. So if I don't specify public, private, or protected, the compiler automatically makes it private? Am I getting that right?

I'm receiving an error when trying to build the solution from Intermediate Lesson 13 at 1:26. The error I get is: error C2248: 'PlayerStanding::PlayerStanding' : cannot access private member declared in class 'PlayerStanding. I've been trying to solve it for about an hour and can't seem to solve the...

I could easily do it with using a lot of gfx.PutPixels using loops to fill the screen, but I wanted to save myself the extra code.

I've been messing around for a bit trying to change the default background color in the D3DGraphics.cpp file. What would I change 0xFF to to make it green?

void D3DGraphics::BeginFrame()
{
memset(pSysBuffer, 0xFF, sizeof(D3DCOLOR) * SCREENWIDTH * SCREENHEIGHT);
}

If your using php with mySQL, you can add an enum type to the sql database. give it a value of either 0 or 1. if they read the sticky post, change it to 1, enabling the user to post. That's what I did with my current website that I'm working on. ( idk if you code the site yourself or whatever lol ) ...

I downloaded it yesterday and I love it so far. The only that that i don't like about it, is the way the intelisence is. For instance in 2010 I could type: #include "Spr and it would narrow down and if i type the ending " it would auto complete it. In 2013 it doesn't have that feature unless I haven...

Your D3DGraphics::DrawSurface function is a little off. Took me a little bit to find the error, and I have. Your loop indexes are messed up, you have this: for( int iy = yStart; y < yEnd; y++ ) { for( int ix = xStart; x < xEnd; x++ ) { //..stuff here } } It should be: for( int iy = yStart; iy < yEnd...
